Title: The reward for discipleship.
“Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Matthew 13:43 NKJV.
“Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament,
and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.” Daniel 12:3 NKJV.
There is a reward for being a disciple of Jesus Christ. His word teaches us in Matthew:
the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
His word also teaches us that God is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently. (Hebrews 11:6).
His word further says be steadfast, immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing and being perpetually aware that your labour in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58 AMP).
Point of reflection:
There is a reward for all the work you do for your God.
All the sacrifices you make for the kingdom of God will be rewarded by God.
The reward is a joy and more. The joy is permanent- no-one can take it away from you.
The servant who was given 5 talents was rewarded with rulership and the joy of His Master.
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things,
I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’" Matthew 25:21 NKJV.
Almighty God also rewards the faithful by giving them rulership over His courts and giving them positions of honor. (Zechariah 3:7).
His word also says those who are faithful to the end will be given a crown of life (Revelations 2:10).
Those who overcome will be made pillars in His temple,
God will write on them His name and the name of the City of God, the new Jerusalem. (Revelations 3:12).
Please note the joy, conferring of rulership, honour, being made pillars, God writing His name upon you-
are not rewards awaiting you in heaven-they are conferred and begin right here and now in this life and into all eternity.
Glory be to God.
Do you desire to be rewarded by God?
When you are ready-
Prayer of commitment:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for your grace and mercy upon my life.
Thank you that in Jesus Christ I have access into your presence and the privilege to serve you.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I thank you Father that you are a rewarder of them that diligently seek you.
I set myself apart to serve you and I reject every working of the enemy satan
and his demons in my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
We remember all those countries moving towards elections.
We cry for your grace and wisdom upon leaders and your people.
We ask that your hand may direct the outcomes.
We ask for peace and rebuke every demon of blood-shed in the name of Jesus Christ.
We ask you Lord to move by your Holy Spirit, across this nation and every other nation of Planet Earth, to save souls.
We remember Planet Ministries and ask for your grace and enabling to accomplish your purpose and will across Planet Earth.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Year in Focus:
2025 The Year of the Overcomer.
His word says in 1 John 2:12-14:I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.
To overcome the wicked one you need the word of God to dwell in you richly, you need to know Him who
was from the beginning (to know God) and you need strong conviction regarding His promises to you. These are the three critical attributes of an overcomer.
He also says: Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days, which you would not believe, though it were told you. (Habakkuk 1:5)
Almighty God wants to work a work in our day, in your day, in the work of the Ministry and in your own life,
which you will not believe even if it is told you. For you to be a part of what He is doing, you need to acquire and grow in the three critical attributes of an overcomer.
He says further:
Then the Lord answered me and said:
“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (Habakkuk 2:2-3).
He says write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may run who reads it.
As you enter another phase in your walk with God and as we enter a new phase in our calling as Planet Ministries, remember the vision is for an appointed time.
That time is nigh. Wait for it, it will not be late by one second. Remember Genesis 18:10-14; Genesis 21: 1-2 and Exodus 12:40-41.
a) What you need to know:
We are moving into a period of accomplishing the vision which Almighty God has set before us.
There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
The vision is for an appointed time and that time is nigh.
You need the knowledge of the Father and His essential attributes, a knowledge of the word of God- you need the word of God to dwell in you richly
(see also Colossians 3:16) and you also need strength of conviction.
As these three attributes increase in you, they will make you to become an overcomer of the wicked one.
b) What you need to understand (or have a revelation of):
1. There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
2. As we enter the fullness of time you need to continue waiting upon God.
3. You need a revelation of the essential attributes of God.
That He is good to you all the time. He is holy, that means He gets it right all the time ( Leviticus 11:44-45; His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23);
His loving kindness is better than life (Psalms 63:3), He is faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:24; Genesis 28:15; 1 Kings 8:56; Numbers 23:19-20; Isaiah 46:9-11),
He is righteous and He is just (Psalms 89:14). He promises to go before you. He says He will not fail you. (Joshua 1:5; Deuteronomy 31:6, 8;
1 Chronicles 28:20; Psalms 89:33-35).
c) What you need to do: Activities of 2025:
Run with the vision. Remember we are:
1. Witnessing the love of Jesus Christ and making disciples across the nations. (Matthew 28:18-20). Use every avenue available to you to send the message of the gospel.
2.We are praying and interceding to the God of the harvest to send labourers into the harvest. (Matthew 9:37-38; 1Timothy 2:1-5). Take time to pray.
3. We are faithful stewards of time, the mysteries of God and of substance. (Luke 12:42-44; Luke 16:10-12; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Peter 4:10). Prayerfully examine your stewardship of time, mysteries
of God and substance.
4. We are light to the world- dispensing darkness- let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16).
5. We are salt, condiment to the earth to give flavour and fight the unsavoury works of the enemy satan ( Matthew 5:13).
6. We release the fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus Christ - God wants to diffuse through you the fragrance, perfume of the knowledge of Jesus Christ as you allow the fruit of the Holy Spirit to
manifest in your life. ( 2 Corinthians 14-15).
d) In all this remember to have your own personal agenda with God as you stand on His promises.
He says in John 16:24: Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
He says in John 15:7: If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
He says in John 14:13-14:
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
He also says in John 15:16: You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
Remember, we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises that by these we may be partakers of divine nature. ( 2 Peter 1:4, John 16:24).
In this year of the overcomer, as you run with the vision, remember to have a personal prayer agenda with God.
Keep a prayer diary and tick things off, as He answers your prayers.
We love you as we invite you to be counted among the overcomers of the wicked one in 2025 and beyond.
As you run with the vision, we are praying for you and wish you a 2025 filled with the victory that comes from God.
In the service of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
