Testimonials

Hearing from those whose lives have been transformed by embracing the love of Christ is a powerful reminder of the impact our faith can have. These testimonials showcase the incredible journeys of individuals who have found hope, healing, and purpose through their relationship with God.

This book is designed to help anyone, irrespective of religion, denomination, nationality, or orientation who genuinely wants to know God. It is written by a colleague who had initially asked the question: ‘Is there God?’ He got his answer, and he has subsequently experienced Jesus’s presence over four decades and has proven that God does exist, and that God wants humanity to seek Him. There is manifest evidence of the Spirit of God at work through the author’s Planet Ministries. The book is designed to help anyone who really wants to know if God does exist and if it is possible to know Him personally. I hope whoever reads this book, it will make them a better person and that they will be able to overcome any problems/weaknesses that they may have. I believe that the book does what it says- lead you to know God intimately. God bless you.

The Vessels of Excellence Book, written by Apostle Dr Max Matonhodze is the ultimate Christian Manual. Apostle Matonhodze is a humble servant of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who founded the Planet Ministries fellowship. A committed, diligent, and anointed servant of God, his Ministry has spread internationally, with a strong presence in the UK, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. The author uses his personal life journey and how God called him into ministry to explore issues of religion that we can all relate to. Anyone with questions or doubts about religion or their purpose in life will benefit from reading this book. Likewise, practising Christians are also strongly recommended to read the book. It is the most comprehensive manual of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that I have come across, with detailed exposition of bible truths. It is packed with the revelation of God’s word, and it certainly improves one’s understanding of scriptures. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. It is a powerful book indeed.

Once I started to read Vessels of Excellence, I couldn’t put it down!!Very good read.Found the reading inspiring and enlightening.It identifies the purpose of the teaching which is directed to the individual.Personally I’ve found that it provided me with answers to questions I’ve been asking.I also found it giving me knowledge and understanding in the meaning behind the scriptures. I have gained much knowledge and understanding.I feel the author is right in saying that one needs to be under the guidance of a teacher.I like the way the author addressed the individual on a personal level as this makes the teaching personal to the reader.I would recommend this book to anybody seeking to have a personal experience with Jesus Christ, a deeper understanding of the word of God and as a resource tool for teachers and instructors of the word of God

If you’re inquisitive about God, wanting a life transforming experience for yourself, or looking to learn about the word of God and become a vessel to teach others the Bible, this book compiles lessons in a manual/textbook style into one place.I would recommend this book for any teacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ, any Christian teacher needs to have this book it is an absolute classic in Christian literature, a sweeping multi-generational manual about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how to teach it. It’s complex, nuanced, and simply put, a casual work of genius.

This book is a must read for both Christians and Non-Christians of all ages. For Non-Christians who want to know about the Almighty God and serious Christians who want to grow spiritually to sonship and maturity. Christians who want to experience God’s manifestations in their walk with Him. It is an excellent book as a handbook for all Christians including those in leadership positions.
I strongly recommend that all Christians read this book

Vessels of Excellence is an in-depth exploration of what it means to be a Christian.
The text is both passionate and rousing in its delivery and will help the reader build on their faith and spiritual maturity.
It is both instructional and insightful and I would recommend it for anyone who wishes to explore more about their own Christianity and faith.

I felt so encouraged and uplifted in my spirit when I was reading Vessels of Excellence. It helped me and can also equips everyone who wants
to grow in their Christian faith. The book contains basic truth which comes from the word of God.
The book explained in detail that reading the bible, praying and fellowship with one another as the foundation of our Christian walk. Again, the writer explained in a step-by-step manner how you can be born again through receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
The writer clearly explained the idea that God doesn’t want us to deal with the affairs of this life as though we don’t have a Father.
We have a heavenly Father who wants to fellowship with us every day. I would encourage both young and old who are looking for the true meaning of life to read this book as it is life transforming.”

I have interacted with Apostle Dr Max through his devotionals, Planet Daily. He has demonstrated a high degree of consistency and commitment and I have found his teachings life transforming.
I have found the book Vessels of Excellence a stimulating read scripture insights that will invigorate and strengthen the spiritual

journey of any child of God.
It is a powerful tool to guide and equip teachers and trainers of the gospel while giving those searching for the truth and an experience of God.
It is a powerful tool and guide for discipleship that will transform Planet Earth. I would recommend this book to anyone genuinely asking the question: Is there God?
I would also recommend ‘Vessels of Excellence’ as a critical resource tool to those who teach and train church leaders at every level.”

Have you ever ‘discovered’ something new, then wonder how you ever lived without it? That’s exactly what has happened since I read the manuscript of Apostle Dr Max’s Vessels of Excellence. My first thought was... ‘I now have everything I need in ONE place!’
I recommend this book to anyone wanting to discover and experience a personal God and for those church leaders seeking a comprehensive resource tool for teaching and equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. It is comprehensive and has instructions that are suitable for enabling one to understand not only the Bible but increase your knowledge of the gospel and love of Jesus Christ every single day.”

Hi Max.

It has been a long time since I’ve seen you, I hope you and the family are well. Praying you all have a lovely Christmas also.

Since you prayed for me (I think in March or April) I have been well. I had suffered with pain every day for 2 years in my back, I’d been in and out of hopsital, had lots of tests and they thought it was arthritis. I didn’t need to finish my physiotherapy course because after you prayed for me the pain went, and I haven’t suffered with it since. I thought this will encourage you! Glory to God.

God bless you and your ministry!
