Sow Into the Night and Reap in the Day
Midnight is an hour of the middle of the night; twelve o’clock (12:00midnight), it’s a term that can also be used to refer to a period from twelve o’clock of the night to three (12:00midnight—3:59am).
Spiritually this is a very active hour/time the enemy uses to attack relationships, health, business, ministries and corrupt destinies.
If so then why should we (intercessors) sleep? Persistence should not only be during the day.
It’s worth noting that the devil and his agents work all times and mostly during the midnight hour, the secret being that at his time most of us are asleep and thus helpless, our bodies are weak and our minds are dull and off, the Mouth can’t utter a word and the best we can do is dream!
Some of us have ended up owning unworthy destines, ministries, businesses, bodies (health wise) and even partners (in relationships) because at this hour somebody did exchange what was worth you with what was unworthy, an example being in 1 Kings 3:20 where “...she arose at midnight. And took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.”
No wonder A.W Tozer (1897-1963) asserted that; “the church that is not jealously protected by night intercession and sacrificial labours will before long become an abode of every evil bird and hiding place for unsuspected corruption. (the church isn't the building but your body) the creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength andforgets to watch and pray” what this American pastor and author insists is mighty intercession and sacrificial labor.
I call these prayers, if we have to wage the war, it’s when the enemy has risen and as seen above, it’s at midnight.
Midnight prayers are very effective, for they encounter less obstacles, and have no jam at all, Hannah tried them; “so Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk… and she was in bitterness of soul and prayed unto the Lord, and wept bitterly.” (1 Samuel 1: 9-10) and the result was; “and they rose up in the morning early and worshiped before the Lord and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her.” (1:9)
This was after years of irritation and provocation from her co-wife Peninah; “And her adversary provoked her severely to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up her womb.” (1:6).
We ought to understand that it’s not that she never used to pray, she always did but the moment she took on this ‘Mighty intercession and sacrificial labor,’ the Lord gave her the desire of her heart. What is your desire? Discern the times like the sons of Issachar; “and of the children of Issachar, who were men that had understanding of times, to know what Israel ought to do…”1 Chronicles 12:32:
Midnight is a time for God’s Manifestation, Job had a revelation that God gives songs in the night: “… who gives songs in the night:’’ Job 35:10,
King David proved this fact in Psalm 42:8: where he says “…Yet the LORD will command His loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life’’
And at this time he (David) remembered God’s Songs “…I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search” Psalm 77:6
