I Samuel 16:1, Genesis 1:5, Matt 2:2-12, Matt 14:23-32, Matthew 13:25, Acts 10:38, Luke 21:37, Matthew 25:30, Prov 24:33

Men and brethren, we must mount an offensive assault at night because the enemy of our souls is busiest while most of us are sleeping. It is the night—the darkness—that has previously been Satan’s prized possession. Therefore, when we worship, war and watch at night, the glory comes. And when the glory comes, there is great grace for healing, ministry, miracles and the prophetic. Also, when the presence of the Lord comes, there is clarity of vision. I have come to realise that there are days, months and even years when it seems that the Sun never sets in our life; you see yourself living below the horizon of power and blessings of God. God may have told you how great your end will be but then the middle is hiding from you. You can restore yourself to the place of fruitfulness and the kingdom of celebrities because it takes the night for stars to shine. Today, heaven shall empower you to take over.

The middle of life can become the middle of night of terror. A life night terror is a life of sleep disruption that seems similar to a season of nightmare of problems, challenges and battles that you sometimes wonder if God is still going to take you to the end. So, instead of staying awake at night to mourn your dream and mourn your past and mourn your ability and mourn your country or your leaders; you can fill your life with the oil of joy and gladness. “And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite” I Samuel 16:1. God has promised, You will have authority with those in authority and have power in difficult times when you pray. I declare you unstoppable

Right where you are, those who do evil tend to prefer the darkness because they think that it hides their behaviour from man and God, but night itself is not evil. God created the night as a means to mark one day from another Genesis 1:5. While, as with everything else in God’s Creation, the night can be misused, there is no time of “darkness” for the righteous.

Are you of the generation that are “keeping watch over their flock by night?” Luke 2:8. Any man who keeps vigil of the stuff heaven has given him shall receive Angelic visitation of the greater things ahead. If you cannot take stock of your life, even man will not give you a higher responsibility. We complain about almost everything when we should have wrestled it out with God in night prayers. Therefore, as a member of this commission, you have no reason to be scared to allow darkness define your night because stars can only be seen at night (Matthew 2:2) and God can instruct you on what to do in your life at night Matthew 2:12. As you pray and engage the enemy of your destiny tonight, the darkest part of your night shall mark the beginning of  your new day, new glory and new beginning in Jesus name.

According to the Biblical record, Jesus Christ often prayed at night, perhaps primarily because it was a quieter time during which He could focus entirely upon prayer. The Messiah spent the entire night praying before choosing the Twelve (Judas was not a failure of prayer – he was a prophecy that the Messiah was fully aware of when He “chose” the one who would betray Him. Boy oh boy, if you want to terrify your enemy learn to walk on the sea at night Matthew 14:23-32. As long as you already have the seed of greatness, Life night should not intimidate you. Allow your night experience to become a supernatural experience that brings increase.

Praying and skipping your dinner at night is a revelation that has done wonders. The destinies of men are changed by night Matthew 13:25. In the day Jesus went about doing good and healing, in the night he goes praying. Acts 10:38, Luke 21:37. Add skipping of your dinner to the night prayers will make you become a terror to the kingdom of darkness. It is also a way to pray effectively because most people because of the nature of their job have no time to pray, a man should pay tithe in prayers 2 hrs and 40 minutes Genesis 14:19-20. Therefore, the night can only give you that time, if you work much in the day. For a prayer to be effective, it must be total dedication like Jesus did. “But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” Matthew 13:25. Recovery of what belongs to you is an answer to your night travailing. I decree tonight, let there be a change of story to as many that shall confront their confrontations. May heaven grant you a supernatural commanding victory. 

The setting of the parable of the virgins and their lamps is at night. The lesson is that we are to fill our lamps at the right time, so that we won’t be left in darkness at any time of the “day” Matthew 25:30. One reason that many people don’t make plans and by so doing allow darkness to define their night is because it takes effort. It takes real effort in order for any lasting accomplishment. That is one thing that millionaires have in common: they make a plan and then work their plan Proverbs 24:33 at night.

Most times, what is happening to us in our dark places can be traced back to being lazy in one form or another. Laziness about our bodies can make us sick. Laziness in our jobs can get us fired. Laziness about learning and understanding can get us doing the same thing over and over again without profit. Don’t get caught off guard. Your future is worth your effort, keep pushing. Let me give you more scriptural pills to night prayers and why this commission believes in skipping of meal and night prayers.

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them” (Acts 16:25). When you add praises to your night prayer, you are asking for reinforcement from heaven.

“You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8

“…now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfil its lusts Romans 13:11-14

“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14

Jesus having disarmed principalities and powers at night, He made a public spectacle of them in the day, triumphing over them in it Colossians 2:15.

For the king of Syria to arrest Elisha in 2 Kings 6:13-14, he came in the night. For the kingdom of darkness, night time is conference time. It is when the enemies meet to deliver their reports, re-strategize and take decisions concerning the fate of many-including Christians. It is also when they renew covenants, curses and sacrifices. It is the time they supervise the burdens, punishment and yokes already placed on their victims.

But more importantly, the night is the time they alter the destiny of many. Every night activity of the satanic kingdom against you this season will come to nothing in Jesus’ name. Believers must be active participants in the spiritual realm. Praying for one hour at night has great effects on the operations of the dark kingdom, much more all night prayer. Reduce your sleep! As they meet to determine your fate, you go on your knee and determine theirs, scatter their meeting and strip them powerless.

Similarly, we learn that a lot can happen in one night. In Judges 16:2-3, it was at night that the gates of Gaza shut against Samson, were uprooted and dumped at the mountain top. Every gate of blessing the enemies have shut against you can easily be opened through effective night prayers.

Never underestimate the power of a vigil. In 2 Kings 19:35-37, the chief oppressor of nations- king Senacherib lost an army of 185,000 in one night to an angel. If you can rise up and pray and worship God at night, you can destroy all your enemies in one night. In other words, night time is a period of stressless and total victory. It is also the time to tame wild lions and beasts taking a look at Daniel’s case. In one night, he saw wild hungry lions turn to domesticated and satisfied lambs. As you arise and pray from tonight, God will tame all lions and oppressors sent after you. All your enemies will perish, you will receive divine visitation and you will stay on top.

What the enemies do in their covens you can do much more at the Throne of Grace at night. Declare a period of continuous vigils of at least 2 hours from 12 midnight -2am for the next 19 days before Miracle convention (Dec 16th-dec 20th) as we skip our dinner to ask God to intervene for our country, our family and in our own lives. Evaluate your gains afterwards and see God in action. I hope to see you in a new level soonest. As you sleep this night, know that you are loved by God— boundlessly, unconditionally, and eternally. He will honour your decision by empowering you with a special outpouring of His grace, strength and physical stamina. Be favoured.
