Title: The promise of God to you is sure.
“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace;
to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed;
not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham;
who is the father of us all,
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)
before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead,
and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Romans 4:16-17 KJV.
We have been given by God exceedingly great and precious promises
so that through these promises we may be partakers of the divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4).
Through the divine power of God in Jesus Christ we have been given (past tense) all things
pertaining to this life and to godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
In our born again spirit we have already received all things we need for this life (physical things)
and to live a godly life (spiritual gifts and spiritual endowments).
What then does a born- again child of God need to do?
You need to refuse to be conformed to this world
but be transformed in the thinking of your mind by the word of God.
The word of God is spirit and it is life. (John 6:63).
The word of God is packaged with the capacity to release the supernatural faith of God
(For faith comes by hearing the word of God -Romans 10:17).
So then God deals with us through releasing promises,
and He has released exceeding great and precious promises, which contain everything we need.
There is a promise to deal with each and every situation we will ever encounter in this life
and a promise for every spiritual endowment you need to accomplish every heavenly purpose.
The only qualification to receive the promise is faith
but faith in turn is given packaged in the word of God.
Therefore the promise is of grace, the promise is given to you as a gift,
an unmerited favour which we do not deserve or work for, borne of activity on the side of God.
How you handle the word of God therefore becomes critical
as it defines the extend to which you experience the promises of God.
Putting it differently, the extent to which you allow the word of God to transform your mind
will determine the extend to which you will be able to experience the promise of God.
When the word of God works in you it produces fruit some thirty fold,
some sixty fold, some a hundred fold.
The word of God may be sent to you and produce zero fruit or zero realisation of the promise.
What should you do to avoid that happening to you?
When that happens you will have frustrated the grace of God upon your life. (Galatians 2:21).
You have to avoid that. But how?
You are the ground on which the seed of the word is sown,
it is your responsibility to ensure you are fertile,
well cultivated soil where the word can bear fruit.
Jesus spake a parable in Mark 4:3-20 about a sower who went to sow seed.
Some fell by the wayside, the word was sown and satan immediately came
and took away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Some seed fell on stony ground, these are those who hear the word,
receive it with gladness but have no root in them and so endure only for a short time.
Afterward when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they stumble.
Some seed fell among thorns.
These are the ones who hear the word of God and the cares of this world,
the deceitfulness of riches and the desires of other things entering choke the word and it becomes unfruitful.
But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word,
accept it, with a noble and good heart
and bear fruit: some thirty fold, some sixty, and some a hundred fold.
For the word to bear it's fruit, prepare your heart to be good well cultivated, well watered ground.
By 1. Accepting the word of God whole heartedly and retain the word in your heart-have a positive attitude
this is powered by a realisation of the attributes of Almighty God (He is righteous, He is holy, He is love, He is powerful, He is just, He is faithful,
He is good, has loving kindness and mercies that are new every morning, we are equal favourites of Almighty God,
we have equal access, He is a respector of His word and not a respector of persons and more).
Study the word, meditate upon it, memorise it.
(Colossians 3:16a Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom).
2. Focus on values that endure, not temporary gain, take hold of eternal life (1Timothy 6:12).
3. Consecrate yourself, set yourself apart for God,
seek you first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and the rest shall be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
Point of Reflection:
Thank God in Jesus Christ that the promise is a gift of grace to you and is sure.
Thank God for the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ.
Consecrate yourself to God, set yourself apart for His purpose
and will and make a declaration that you will seek His will and His purposes in your life.
Declare to satan that he has nothing in you and you have nothing in him,
and you know that he was disarmed and defeated publicly by Jesus Christ on the cross.
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Prayer of Thanks giving and declaration:
Heavenly Father I thank you for the grace I have received in Jesus Christ.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working, influence and deception of the enemy satan
and his demons.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you alone Father.
I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.
I accept, receive and embrace the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in Jesus Christ's name.
Thank you that your promises are sure, stable, valid and
guaranteed to me because they are of grace and therefore a gift to me.
I receive your promises by faith.
I pray today and release abundance of grace upon every single child of God upon Planet Earth
that they may receive the promise of God. In Jesus Christ's name I 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.
