SPEND THIS NIGHT WITH GOD
Luke 6:12 (NIV), “One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God.”
The night time has been given by God to man so that man can rest from his job done during the day. At this time, sleep calleth and it becomes a mighty temptation to resist especially when the Holy Ghost impresses it upon your spirit to pray at night. Jesus Christ our Lord at certain time placed His body under subjection and spent the night praying to God and the following day, He chose His disciples which was a big achievement. He understood that there is a need to stay in the Presence of our Heavenly Father and pour out the contents of His hearts with honesty and authenticity.
Do you have a project to execute? Sleeping all through the night may not help you. Remember Proverbs 24:33-34 says, “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth: and thy want as an armed man.”
The stillness of the night gives room for no distractions. It makes your senses alert because you know that the One who keepeth Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers. Dear friend, I believe that you know that one night of a missed sleep will not kill you. You have slept too much already. Tonight is your night with God to set things right. Do not give in to the tiredness you feel. Miraculously, when you waken to the brightness of the day tomorrow after a long night’s prayer, you will be made whole.
FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 139:12 (NIV), “Even the darkness will not be dark to you, the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You.”
CONFESSION: I BOLDLY CONFESS I AM NOT LAZY, I AM NOT RULED BY THE FEELINGS OF THE FLESH, I WILL PRAY TONIGHT!
ACTION PONT: Spend some time tonight praying to God.
