And  when the LORD saw it, He spurned them, because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters. 

And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be, 

for they are a perverse generation, children in whom is no faith. 

They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God;

 they have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols.

 But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation; 

I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.'"‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32:18-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

There is always the temptation to forget God following a blessing. 

It is critical that the child of God guards against that.

 It is important to put safeguards in your own life against a life that disregards God,

 that takes God for granted and that does not acknowledge Him when He does things in your life.

Point of reflection:

It is important to always commit your ways to the Lord and in all you do to acknowledge Him. 

It is important to build-in your life thanksgiving breaks. 

That is why His word says in Psalms 107: 21 NKJV:

“Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, 

and for His wonderful works to the children of men!”‭‭

Psalms 103:1-2 NKJV: 

goes further to say: “Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, 

bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:”‭

Yes it is important to take stock and acknowledge God, give Him thanks and glorify His name for what He has done for us.

His word teaches us in Luke 17:12-19: Then He entered a certain village, 

there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 

And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourself to the priests."

 And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,

 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And He was a Samaritan. 

So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"

 And He said to him, "Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well."

Here only one of ten and a foreigner returned to give glory to God. 

While others received healing in their bodies, the leper who returned to give thanks was not only healed,

 but was made whole, he obtained the full package of salvation.

Do you desire to commit your ways to God, to acknowledge Him in all you do, 

to give thanks to Him and to bless His Holy name always?

 Start by making a prayer of commitment:

 when you are ready-

Prayer of commitment:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you Father for your grace and mercy upon my life,

 thank you for your goodness and loving kindness which is better than life.

 Thank you for your salvation in Jesus Christ. 

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

 I commit myself Lord in all I do to acknowledge you, 

to commit my ways to you so that you direct my paths,

 to give thanks to your name and to bless your name always. 

Thank you Father for shining your face upon me always 

and for your mercies upon my life which are new every morning. 

I bless your holy name. 

We remember this nation, this continent and the nations of Planet Earth.

 Father we pray for an awakening that brings them to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We remember Planet Ministries and we ask Father that you accomplish your purpose to the full through it, 

as we send the word of the knowledge of Jesus Christ to Planet Earth.

 We ask you Father to confirm your word with signs and wonders, 

undeniable miracles of healing, deliverance and raising of the dead.

So that Planet Earth may be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Almighty God as the waters cover the sea.

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.
