Title: You need to conquer and subdue  substance.


“And Jesus answered and said, 

Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house,

 or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,

 or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time,

 houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers,

 and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.”Mark 10:29-30 KJV.



“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,

 and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”Proverbs 3:9-10 KJV.


“Give, and it shall be given unto you;

good measure, pressed down, and shaken together,

and running over, shall men give into your bosom. 

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”Luke 6:38 KJV.

Point of Reflection:

Giving opens the way for us to receive blessing, both spiritual blessing and financial.

 Giving of substance (money, goods, gifts etc) gives one dominion over substance.

 It makes you to be able to use substance for the glory of God

 and in obedience to Almighty God.

You need to train yourself to give in faith.

 Giving helps you to conquer money, to break the power of money from being an object of idolatry

 to being, as it should be, something which God gives us to serve Him with and to enjoy (1Timothy 6:17).

When you give to God in obedience to His word

 it is a godly thing to expect to receive back multiplied.

 Hence His word says in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 KJV:

 "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;

 and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,

 so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

Your giving need to be purposeful and prayerfully planned.

Remember that giving is not limited to substance-

when you offer anything that gives value to another person-to the work of God or to servants of God

it is giving- it could be time, service, love, attention, encouragement etc.

How you respond to giving opportunities in the service of God determines your  destiny.

This is a critical statement.

The earth is founded on the principle of seasons:

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest,

 and cold and heat, and summer and winter,

 and day and night shall not cease.”Genesis 8:22 KJV.

There is a time to sow and a time to reap.

 It is critical to understand the spiritual seasons as they unfold, 

so that you make use of opportunities as they arise.

 Every giving however has to be free will- never feel coerced to give.

 Do not give grudgingly or of necessity (under pressure to meet a need),

 but give purposefully, prayerfully and cheerfully.

Giving substance to the work of God is to do with being a faithful steward

 and acknowledging Almighty God as your senior partner in every human endeavour.

Deuteronomy 8:18 says remember the Lord your God for it is He who gives you power to get wealth,

so that He may establish His covenant as it should be established in your day, in our day. 

His word says:

 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye,

 always having all sufficiency in all things,

may abound to every good work:”2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV.

 This is the promise to those who give.

 You need to cherish opportunities to give to Almighty God,

 to His work and to the servants of God

 you have been appointed to minister to financially.

 Pray about your giving  and let the Holy Spirit guide and direct your giving. 

Your giving determines the level at which  you will be able to operate financially.

His word says in 2 Corinthians 8:9: 

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor,

that ye through His poverty might be rich."

Jesus Christ was never poor spiritually-

 this scripture is referring to physical poverty and lack.

Your giving has to be free will, with correct understanding of scripture, 

and of faith not under coercion, harassment or grudgingly.

Take some time to ask for the grace to understand giving and the wisdom for financial success.

When you are ready-

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my redemption.

Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.

I set myself apart and consecrate myself to serve you.

I reject, denounce and renounce every working, every influence and every deception

of the enemy satan and his demons in the name of Jesus Christ.

I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit right now.

I receive, accept and embrace the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

Thank you that Jesus Christ became poor,

 so that through His poverty all my needs may be met.

I ask for the grace to honour you Father with my substance and the first fruit of my increase.

I pray for the grace and wisdom to be a faithful steward of substance you have entrusted to me.

I pray for your grace and your help in my giving to

 support your servants and your work. 

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.
