The importance of nightime prayers

As I started to study and dissect the account of the Exodus detailed in Exodus 14, God started showing me the timing of the Exodus.

Here is the account with highlighted details:

Exodus 14 NLT


. 20 The cloud settled between the Egyptian and Israelite camps. As darkness fell, the cloud turned to fire, lighting up the night. But the Egyptians and Israelites did not approach each other all night.

21 Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. 22 So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!

23 Then the Egyptians—all of Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and charioteers—chased them into the middle of the sea. 24 But just before dawn the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw their forces into total confusion. 25 He twisted[b] their chariot wheels, making their chariots difficult to drive. “Let’s get out of here—away from these Israelites!” the Egyptians shouted. “The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!”

26 When all the Israelites had reached the other side, the Lord said to Moses, “Raise your hand over the sea again. Then the waters will rush back and cover the Egyptians and their chariots and charioteers.” 27 So as the sun began to rise, Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the water rushed back into its usual place. The Egyptians tried to escape, but the Lord swept them into the sea. 28 Then the waters returned and covered all the chariots and charioteers—the entire army of Pharaoh. Of all the Egyptians who had chased the Israelites into the sea, not a single one survived.


Acts 16:25

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them

They had suddenly miracles


It is necessary for us to pray at midnight and in the early hours of the morning.

These times of prayer set the tone for one's day.

May God awaken the church from it's slumber as we do have a real enemy and while many of us sleep, those who practise evil from the kingdom of darkness, send their arrows during these nighttime hours against God’s people.

May God stir us into nightly prayer and give us the anointing and unction to pray and intercede effectively in Jesus name.

We should pray without ceasing but nighttime prayers are of a different "flavour" and "essence"....they should aggressively push back every evil plan against God's people and allign us to destiny.

Try it, it will make a difference in your life, your family and community


Amen

Walk Good in Christ

Till we meet again
