Do you REALLY PRAY AT MIDNIGHT? HERE ARE FACTS about MIDNIGHT PRAYERS.
1). MIDNIGHT is a time of TRANSITION, from one day to another. GOD ALMIGHTY can bring a TRANSITION in your life as you pray at MIDNIGHT.
2). MIDNIGHT is a time of GREAT SPECIAL ACTIVITIES BOTH GOOD AND EVIL. Destinies of men/women are shaped and interrupted at MIDNIGHT. If you are not shaping your DESTINY at MIDNIGHT, then somebody may interrupt your life at MIDNIGHT.
3). At a natural level, GREAT VICTORIES have been won when nations were caught by surprise as their armies were asleep at MIDNIGHT. Satan launches attacks at MIDNIGHT, he feeds people in their DREAMS at MIDNIGHT; he RAPES others in their dream as they are asleep at MIDNIGHT etc.
4). GREAT CALAMITIES are SPIRITUALLY EFFECTED at MIDNIGHT. GOD ALMIGHTY waited till MIDNIGHT to execute judgment on Egypt: (Exodus 11:4-6) Then Moses said, “Thus says the LORD: ‘About MIDNIGHT I will go out into the midst of Egypt; and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the hand mill, and all the firstborn of the animals.
5). MIDNIGHT is the time people are MOST VULNERABLE TO SPIRITUAL ATTACKS. It is the hour when enemies lay siege and render people DEFENSELESS. It is also the time that you can LAUNCH A DEADLY, SURPRISE ATTACK on your enemies’ camp.
6). As a CHRISTIAN, you can break open CLOSED DOORS, as you pray at MIDNIGHT. Samson lay low till MIDNIGHT, then he arose at MIDNIGHT, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron. (Judges 16:3)
7). MYSTERIOUS things, happen the most at MIDNIGHT. Have you lost anything or anyone very dear to you under MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES?
Chances are that the operation was carried out at the MIDNIGHT HOUR. Remember the harlot in Solomon’s time who lost her child by sleeping on him at MIDNIGHT, and at MIDNIGHT she stole her friend’s child:
1 Kings 3:20(KJV) And she arose at MIDNIGHT, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
8). GREAT SPIRITUAL TRANSACTIONS, happens at MIDNIGHT. Solomon got wisdom from GOD ALMIGHTY at MIDNIGHT. If you are not receiving something good at MIDNIGHT, then chances are high, that there are evil changes happening against you at MIDNIGHT.
9). VERY WICKED OPERATIONS HAPPENS at MIDNIGHT but we can change them. We must arise and fight. WE MUST WAKE-UP AND PRAY. IF WE DO, we can have great impact in our SOCIETIES AND CHURCHES.
10). David, the man who never lost a single battle in all his life, has this to say: At MIDNIGHT, I will rise and give thanks to You, because of your righteous judgments. Psalm 119:62) what excuse do you have? Do you say, “I wish I arise but I’ll be tired”? Do you have a busier schedule than that of KING DAVID (PRESIDENT OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL)?. I don’t think so.
11) Do you know better than what PAUL AND SILAS KNEW? Who praised and worshipped GOD ALMIGHTY at MIDNIGHT, but at MIDNIGHT, PAUL AND SILAS WERE PRAYING AND SINGING HYMNS TO GOD ALMIGHTY, and the prisoners were listening to them. SUDDENLY there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and IMMEDIATELY all the doors were opened and EVERYONE’S CHAINS WERE LOOSED. (Acts 16:25-26)
12). MIDNIGHT is the best time to make SERIOUS INTERCESSION. And JESUS CHRIST said to them, which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at MIDNIGHT and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him, And he will answer from within and say, Do not trouble me, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed, I cannot rise and give it to you? I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he’s his friend, yet because of his PERSISTENCE he will rise and give him as many as he needs. (Luke 11:5-8)
13). Praying at MIDNIGHT is a SACRIFICE that will not go UNREWARDED. GOD ALMIGHTY sees our DESPERATION through the SACRIFICES we make to HIM.
My prayer is that the LORD JESUS CHRIST will help us to understand that when we are ASLEEP, Satan and his demons aren’t asleep but they are BUSY LAUNCHING ARROWS AT US. May the LORD help us to understand that there are SERIOUS ACTIVITIES that takes place at MIDNIGHT, much of which are against us. LORD JESUS CHRIST please, deliver us from SPIRITUAL LAZINESS, so that we can RISE UP TO DEFEND OUR INHERITANCE and TAKE BACK what the devil has STOLEN from us in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU MAKE PRAYING AT MIDNIGHT A MUST AS THE LORD HELP YOU AND I.
MAY YOUR NITE NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN YOUR DESTINY.
The call to vocational ministry later in life is both exciting and challenging. It is exciting to know God is preparing you for another path and, perhaps, another place. It’s challenging because of issues related to family, finances, and training.
We often receive questions at Church Answers from those going into vocational ministry for the first time in their 40s and 50s, and even in their 60s. As we try to guide them toward next steps, we ask them a series of questions. These are the six most common questions:
Will you stay in your secular vocation for now? The answer to that question obviously has financial implications. But it also allows the minister to be a marketplace pastor, or worship leader, or executive pastor, or any other position.
Is your family supportive of your moving in this direction? This question is one that is obviously important at any phase of life or decision-making. It has profound implications when you are older. The change is often dramatic and life-altering for the entire family.
How will I train for ministry? Can you work in your current church in an internship or as a volunteer staff person? Will you go to seminary online? Are you and your family willing to relocate?
Where do you see yourself in five years? Are you moving toward a full-time vocational position? Or are you called and content to be a marketplace minister?
Where will you find opportunities to preach? This question, of course, is specifically directed toward those who sense God’s call to pastoral…
Topic: Our Greatest Privilege [Joyce Meyer Devotional 30 January 2019]
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you…for a pretense make long prayers… — Matthew 23:14 (NKJV)
I have made a commitment to pray more than ever, and I hope you will join me.
Prayer is the greatest privilege that we have. Prayer makes all things possible! God’s Word teaches us that we have not because we ask not (see James 4:2). It is tragic indeed to miss out on the immense benefits that prayer provides simply because we fail to take the time to ask.
My desire is to “pray my way through the day.” It is another way of saying what the apostle Paul said, which is “Pray without ceasing” (see 1 Thessalonians 5:17 AMPC).
This does not mean that I intend to stay on my knees all day or sit somewhere with folded hands praying all day. I simply desire to understand that all failure is a prayer failure and to be wise enough to invite the Lord to help me with each thing I do.
The Bible says in Ephesians 6:18 that we should “pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer” (AMPC). Forming the habit of doing so will open the door to more victory and breakthrough than we can imagine.
I don’t want to miss any more opportunities to see God’s amazing power manifested in my life, and I am sure you don’t either, so please join me in discovering the power of simple prayer!
Prayer Starter: Dear Father, I commit to praying my way through the day, and as I begin, I ask for Your help. I am praying that You will help me pray! Teach me the vital importance of talking with You about everything. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Topic: There is a Might Inside You [TREM Devotional 30 January 2019]
“And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?” Judges 6:14 KJV
Beloved, even in the midst of your seeming limitation, there is might inside you that you need to release. The way to release it is to run with the Word. Don’t come to church every day and just hear the Word of God. What God expects you to do is to advance your life with the Word. The Word has the ability to produce and the extent to which it produces depends on the soil that is receiving the Word. If the soil is hardened and not open to receive the Word that seed will die. In the same congregation where others come, probably once in a year, latch unto what they are hearing, run with it and produce results; you would be wondering what happened to you. Nothing happened! The difference is the soil. Every seed that God gives to us is supposed to produce after its kind.
Go in this thy might and dream big. Do you know that God has an intention that your dream should outlast you? In other words, when you are gone the dream is still speaking. Bro Mike what does that then mean? It means to dream big! Stretch yourself beyond what you can achieve. Look beyond what you can achieve. Make plans beyond what you can achieve and put God in motion on your behalf.
God said to Gideon go in this thy might and he went. The same person that said I am poor, my parents are poor, my name is poor, everything written about me is ‘poor,’ rose up and went. And I love what he did afterwards. If you read the account, you will notice that he destroyed the foundation that kept him down. He destroyed the evil altar in the family and raised another altar. In other words, if there exists any altar in your life which is not God’s, destroy it!

Topic: Living A Life Of Affection For God [Seeds of Destiny 30 January 2019 Devotional]
SCRIPTURE: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To love God is to spend time with Him.
It has been confirmed that we live in a generation where people have zero regard for God who is their Creator. Everyone does what he/she likes and this is why the Power and Presence of God is scarce in our days. We see little of God’s manifestations because dedicated people are scarce. To be dedicated to God is to stand up in life; to be dedicated to God is to stand out in life. Therefore, what does it mean to be dedicated to God?
Dedication to God means a life of affection for God. Now, let me show you what it means to have affection for God. It is:
i. Living a life of addiction to God (Matthew 22:37) To have affection for God means living a life of addiction to God; it is living a life that cannot do without God. It is being addicted to God the way a person would be addicted to drugs. When you are incurably addicted to God, everyone around you would know and feel it.
ii. Living a life that is in love with God (Mark 12:30) To have affection for God means living a life that is madly in love with God. When you are in love with God, people may look at you and think that the way you serve God has crossed boundaries because you are madly in love with Jesus.
iii. Loving God and spending time with Him (Mark 3:14) To love God is to spend time with Him. When two people love themselves, they enjoy one another’s company. So, your love for God makes you spend time with God. Dedicated people spend time with God. People who are dedicated to God spend time in the study of God’s Word and in prayer.
Remember this: To love God is to spend time with Him.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Make up your mind to be addicted to God and His Purpose on earth.
Spend time with God in personal communion regularly and consistently.
PRAYER: O Lord, I receive the grace to be addicted to You. Help me to spend time with You in personal communion and fellowship always, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

6 Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you,
7 Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
Bible In One Year: Exodus 19-21, Matthew 20:1-16
MESSAGE:
A particular minister of God who was an interpreter was not happy with his incomplete set of teeth. He was embarrassed each time he had to interpret for the preacher. He was over forty years old at the time. After carrying that burden for too long, the Lord intervened. He woke up to find fresh teeth growing in his mouth at 40!
God cares for your physical body. Whatever the challenge you have with your body, tell Him and He will do something about it. If you expect Him to do something when you have not invited Him, don’t be surprised if He does nothing. If you want to be taller or shorter, tell Him, if you want to be slimmer or fatter, tell Him. If you are physically challenged, tell Him. If you have any form of deformity in your body, tell Him. He cares about how you look and He wants you to look the best.
You must however take note that God knows best, if He decides not to change what you are asking Him to change, it is for a genuine reason and you must understand and cooperate with Him to make that reason come to pass.
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a Friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield You;
You wilt find a solace there.

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 30 January 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Stay Strong
TOPIC: Stay Strong (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 30 January 2019)
Bible In One Year: Exodus 23-24; Matthew 20:1-16
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Mark 10:42-45
MEMORY VERSE: “There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” – Joshua 1:5
The MESSAGE:
One of the ways the enemy troubles God’s children is to bring all kinds of storms into their lives. For many people, as they deal with one storm, the enemy brings another to them. Sometimes too, God allows storms in our lives. Whether the storm you are facing is from the enemy or God, you need to learn to be strong in the face of storm, exercise faith and with authority rebuke it.
There is a rainbow after every storm. Storms are the challenges men and women face in life. Children too face storms. The rich and the poor both face storms. But storms are not permanent. They come and go. If you stay strong during the storm and endure it and overcome it, you will see a rainbow after the storm.
Storm stands for the time of Jacob’s trouble, time of trial and affliction. The rainbow is a symbol of covenant and light at the end of the tunnel. While the period of storm represents the night, the rainbow represents the morning. The Bible says that sorrow may tarry till night but joy comes in the morning (Psalms 30:5).
The Bible says, “Surely there is an end. The expectation of the righteous will not be cut off” (Proverbs 23:18). The storm of no husband has an expiry date. The storm of no child has an expiry date. The storm of poverty has an expiry date. The storm of indebtedness has an expiry date. The storm of ill-health has an expiry date. The storm of joblessness has an expiry date. Darkness does not have the power to last forever. Sorrow may tarry till night, joy comes in the morning.
Job did not fail in the day of adversity. He was strong and he experienced restoration. God gave Joshua a charge to be strong and courageous. He was, and he successfully led the Israelites to the Promised Land.
When storm comes to your life, arise and rebuke it in the name of Jesus. If you have faith, the storm will hear your word and depart. The Lord has given you authority to rebuke storms. He reprimanded his disciples who could not handle the storm they faced but had to call him. He called them men of little faith. He expected them to execute faith and rebuke the storms themselves. Exercise your authority in Christ. Be strong in the Lord!
Beloved, Jesus said that believers will experience tribulation in this world, but they should cheer up because He has overcome the world. The storms of life comes to all people. It can come anytime. That is why you should be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Make God’s word your source of power and strength. As you feed on God’s word and obey His commandments, your faith will increase and you will be able to overcome the storms of life.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: WITHOUT COURAGE, WE CANNOT PRACTICE ANY OTHER VIRTUE WITH CONSTITENCY. WE CAN’T BE KIND, TRUE, MERCIFUL, GENEROUS OR HONEST.
PROPHETIC WORD: The storms of life will not swallow you, you shall come triumphantly.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
O God my Father, make me a carrier of Your word, in the name of Jesus.
O God, let Your word open new chapter for my destiny, in the name of Jesus.
O God my Father, take me to a new level, in the name of Jesus. EVENING
Let the word of God be a life-giving water to my destiny, in the name of Jesus.
My Father, uphold me by the power of Your word, in the name of Jesus.
My Father, let Your word create solution to all my life problems, in the name of Jesus.
Lord, let Your word produce signs and wonders in my life, in the name of Jesus.
