“But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay,
some for honour and some for dishonour.
Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honour,
sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:20-21 NKJV.
Your God needs you.
There are things which God himself cannot do directly.
He needs harvesters.
That is why Jesus Christ said in Matthew 8:37-38 NKJV:
"The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few.
Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.”
You are part of a harvest unit.
Harvest units need communicators of messages (for example -as you forward this message to friends and family, you are exercising
your role as part of a harvest unit), prayer partners and encouragers.
Also remember to encourage friends and family to register on the Planet Ministries website
(planetministries.org.uk) as they they will then automatically receive our Planet Daily devotional by email.
Also remember we send our Planet Daily by WhatsApp to groups across Planet Earth.
This is a sharp weapon Almighty God has given us to use to make disciples of Jesus Christ for His glory.
Point of reflection:
You were set apart for God's own divine purpose while you were still in your mother's womb (Jeremiah 1:5).
You need however to exercise due diligence to fulfil your calling.
Many people leave Planet Earth before they accomplish their calling.
Make a decision to fulfil your calling by becoming a vessel of honour.
You become a vessel of honour by setting yourself apart, consecrating yourself for the work of the Master.
You seek your calling and purpose diligently and refuse dishonourable things of little or no eternal value.
God rewards vessels of honour.
He will call you His delight, He will keep, protect, guide, instruct and lead you (Deuteronomy 32: 10-12).
He will call you His crown of glory, you will be a royal diadem in the hand of God, you will be fortified by God (Isaiah 62: 2-5)
and He will shower you with His blessing, joy, peace, well-being, self-assurance and more (Deuteronomy 32:13-14).
Do you desire to be a vessel of honour in the hand of Almighty God?
When you are ready, take the first step - a prayer of commitment to seek His will and purpose.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for salvation in the name of Jesus Christ.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
Thank you that before I was formed in my mother's womb you knew me and sanctified me for your purpose and will.
I desire Father to be a vessel of honour in your hand.
I set myself apart for you, to accomplish your purpose and your will.
I reject, denounce and renounce every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit right now.
In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
Take action today- vessels of honour communicate- forward this message and messages that will follow-on, to friends and loved ones-
when you do you are fighting God's war- He will also fight yours-guaranteed.

The Year in Focus: Best wishes for the New Year 2024, the Year of the Builder of the House of God. The year in which Almighty God is releasing the grace you need to complete the work He has started in your life.
Witnessing the love of Jesus Christ-increasing your reach, teaching and making disciples, building lives in Jesus Christ
as you pray and intercede for salvation of souls and for boots on the ground, as we give
substance to build physical churches across the nations.
This grace is powered by the seven fold anointings of the dominion of the Christ; The Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Knowledge,
The Spirit of Understanding (Revelation), the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Counsel and the Spirit of the Obedient and Reverential Fear of the Lord.
In this year the Lord is declaring: "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by power or by might but by my Spirit says the Lord of Hosts.
Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And He shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of grace, grace to it.'" Zechariah 4:6-7.
You have been laying a foundation, but now is the time to complete the building. You need to tackle obstacles, whatever form or nature they come.
Your weapons are: a) Constantly releasing the grace of God, the favour of Almighty God, releasing the help of God. See also Acts 26:22-23.
b) Releasing the word of God, standing on His promises- not by power or by might but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts. Speak God's faithfulness;
God's victory over the enemy, God's blessing upon your life- as you work for God you are a blessed person. (Numbers 23:8, 19-21; Isaiah 46:9-11; Isaiah 14:24-26, Psalms 89:1-35).
c) Allow the continual working of the Holy Spirit upon your life. Make the Holy Spirit your companion, your Helper, Comforter, Standby, Guide, Intercessor, Advocate, Counselor, Strengthner
What you need to know:
1. Almighty God desires you to finish the work He has started through you.
In this year Almighty God is releasing for you the grace to complete what he has started through you. He says "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation stone of this temple,
His hands shall also finish it." Zechariah 4:9.
The foundation has been laid and now is time to finish the building.
Jesus said: “It is finished.”John 19:20. He was a finisher, He finished.
Apostle Paul of Tarsus, said “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”. 2 Timothy 4:7. He ran and finished. So did the other apostles and the other believers.
2. You need continuous cry for grace from the fullness of Jesus Christ (John 1:16), you need grace and peace to be multiplied to you (1 Peter 1:1-2). See also 1Timothy 6:12.
3. Remember the race is completed at the finishing line.
What you need to understand:
1. Almighty God accomplishes His mission by the operation of the seven fold anointings of dominion which declares: Not by power nor by might but by My Spirit says the Lord,
who are you O great mountain, before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! Zechariah 4:6-7.
2. While you need all seven candles burning, in this year the spearhead cry is the Spirit of Revelation. That God in Jesus Christ may reveal Himself to you,
and that He may reveal the plans He has for you, to you, that He may reveal to you the path you need to take to reach your intended destination.
Activities of 2024: where the rubber hits the road:
a) Cry for Almighty God to reveal Himself to you. In Jeremiah 33:3 He says: Call into Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things,
(hidden and fenced in things) you do not know. (AMP) Let Him reveal to you the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ. (Phillipians 3:8-10, Ephesians 1:15-22)
b) Cry for God to reveal to you the things He has prepared for you, the future He has prepared for you, the plan He has for you:
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who fear Him.”
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
c) Cry grace for holiness- you need to be in His presence. Seek holiness without which no man shall see God. (Hebrews 12:14). Seeing God here is experiencing Him. See also Matthew 5:8; Leviticus 11:44-45
d) Cry grace for building the house of God- grace for witnessing Jesus Christ, ministering and building up people, grace for intercessory prayer,
grace to be a faithful steward of substance, the mysteries of God and the time God has given to you.
e) Be word conscious- this is the word of God to Zerubbabel asking who are you O great mountain, before Zerubbabel you shall be a plain.
Whatever obstacle may be standing in your way, be it financial. human instruments or circumstantial- declare the word and command it to become a plain.
f) Be Holy Spirit conscious- the seven candles are powered by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said I will not leave you helpless, comfortless or orphaned,
but I will give you another Helper, Comforter, Standby, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Counselor, Guide and Teacher that He may remain with you forever. (John 14:15- 18 AMP).
g) Be in prayer- pray for the servants of God, pray all manner of prayers.
In this year you need to move to a higher intensity of prayer, a higher gear in your prayer life. See also Ephesians 6:18.
We love you as we invite you to be counted among the builders of the house of God in 2024 and beyond. As you move to your finishing line,
as you put on your own capstone with shoutings of grace, grace to it. We are praying for you and wish you a 2024 filled with the victory that comes from God.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
