OUR minds can wrongly put limits on what God can do through us.
However, God is not restricted by our limitations or circumstances of lives.

My Perspective
Look beyond your situation to the amazing things that the Almighty God can do with submitted, willing people, (Genesis 15:1-6)
Apostle Max Matonhodze is a practicing medical doctor, a consultant respiratory physician to be precise. He is a busy man. When he is not attending to patients in the hospital, he is lecturing at a medical school or writing and recording gospel music.
Surely, that must be exhausting when one is also running a ministry.
But Apostle Max calmly responds, “There are 168 hours in a week and my contract with the hospital is 42 hours a week. I have learnt to work efficiently but I must admit that it takes a lot of the grace of God.”
Dr Apostle Matonhodze did his secondary education at Gokomere High School, a Catholic Mission boarding school in Masvingo.
In 1980 at the age of 19, he started studying Medicine at the University of Zimbabwe. He received Jesus Christ in August 1980 and his personal life was totally changed.
In 1981, Dr Matonhodze felt that God was calling him to become a preacher. In January 1982, in a dramatic encounter with God, he was shown about 30 years of his life in a vision of stations.
These stations were shown to him in the now, his medical graduation ceremony which was to take place in 1985, some television and radio addresses that were to take place in 1992 and a further station that was to happen at an unspecified time.
In April 1982, God spoke to him and revealed that his calling was in apostolic authority and capacity.
But it was not until 2012 that God revealed to Dr Matonhodze that He wanted a global platform for His message to be delivered. It was only then that Planet Ministries was established, on the instruction of the Almighty God.
This ministry is a platform through which God will address His people. He will speak His message so that it reaches every single person on Planet Earth. He will also release the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
The principal message that Dr Matonhodze was charged with is to tell every person to live in the presence of the Almighty God.
This will result in the transformation of their lives through the knowledge and wisdom of Jesus Christ. As a result they become people of character, stature, self-assurance and achievement (champions).
Dr Matonhodze comes with a message that as people receive this message, the experience of life and the quality of the lives of those who receive this message will be much better after allowing this message to work in their lives.
He says God told him that there are promises and assured blessings in receiving and accepting this message.
When you live and walk in His presence. God says I will give to you the Promised Land.
The Lord wants us to experience His goodness, His compassion, mercy and loving kindness, His peace and His joy as we trust in Him every day of our lives. He wants to give us hope and the capacity to love and care for others unconditionally through Jesus Christ.
When you live and walk in His presence, the Lord says “I will be God to you”.
Being God to you means He will manifest His nature in you and manifest His presence in you.
The Lord says, “I will make you exceedingly fruitful if you walk in my presence.” A fruitful life is a fulfilled and satisfied life. Fruitfulness makes others see you as an imparter and giver of hope and comfort. Fruitfulness results from walking in obedience to Jesus Christ. ln turn it makes the Lord God be pleased with you.
God said if you walk and live in His presence, He will make you a person of character, stature and achievements. God promises to make you fathers and mothers, young men and young women, boys and girls of character, stature and achievements.
God promises to make you a person who builds stable, healthy and enduring relationships between spouses, parents and children, brethren, neighbours, colleagues and society at large. God promises to make you a person of stature and achievement in the affairs of this life through the knowledge and wisdom of Jesus Christ. This will be possible through the knowledge of God and His essential attributes, the knowledge of His word, a strong conviction of His word and overcoming the wicked one (Satan).
God says as you live and walk in my presence, I will multiply you exceedingly. As you walk in His presence, God desires that you produce after your kind – the God kind. God has a principle that every living creature produces after its kind.
He desires to shield you and fortify you from every attack of the enemy, to lift you up and fortify you in every area of your life. Pray for His increase, multiplication, uplift, fortification and shielding in every area of your life. He desires you to reproduce after your kind.
