Title: You need strength of conviction in the power of the word of God in Jesus Christ in order to overcome the enemy satan.
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians6:10-12 KJV.
The word of God here admonishes the child of God
to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
The strength referred to here is strength of conviction,
to be thoroughly and totally persuaded and convinced
that God is able to accomplish His word to you and
that His executive power and might are sufficient to accomplish His mission in and through you.
His word goes further to say we are in a wrestling match-
but not against a physical enemy but a spiritual one, forces of the wicked one satan.
We therefore need to be armed spiritually.
His word goes further to tell us that the weapons of our warfare are not physical,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. (2 Corinthians 10:4).
Please understand that the beginning point of the victory of a child of Almighty God
is opening your heart completely to His word and allowing that word to do a complete
work in you as you meditate upon that word prayerfully.
The word is Spirit and it is life (John 6:63). The spirit gives life.
His word goes further to say in 1 John 2:14 - I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who was 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.
Please understand the critical trio: the word abides in you, it brings with it
the knowledge of God (the knowledge of Jesus Christ) and with this comes strength of conviction,
with strength of conviction comes victory over the wicked one.
Do you desire to pull down strongholds of the enemy from the affairs of your life, family, ministry and the brethren?
If yes-
Point of Reflection:
Your enemy satan and his demons were stripped naked,
defeated and disarmed publicly by Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. (Colossians 2:15).
You need to take authority over him in the name of and by the authority of Jesus Christ in you,
bind him up by faith in operation of the word of God,
pull down his strong holds, command Him to cease hindering you
and the people of God as they arise to do the will of God on the earth.
Glory be to God Almighty forever and ever. Amen.
When you are ready-
Prayer:
My heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you that satan
and his demons were defeated publicly and openly by Jesus Christ on the cross.
I thank you that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and is alive today.
I open my life to you Lord Jesus Christ and ask you to be my Lord from today.
I set myself apart and consecrate my life for you. Lord you can have me as your portion and as your inheritance.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I reject, denounce and renounce every working,
every influence and every deception of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life. I declare that you are judged in my body,
in my life, family and ministry 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.
I rebuke and bind every working of the enemy satan
and his demons upon my life and upon the people of God across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
In the name of Jesus Christ I command the pulling down of every stronghold of the enemy satan
in every nation and every institution across Planet Earth in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Father for victory over the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ.
Today Father I commit myself to your word, to study and meditate upon it prayerfully
in the name of Jesus Christ 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.
