When the night is prolonged 5

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:” Mathew 7:24

God’s word to you is your light in the darkness of the nighttime. If you have a word from the Lord, you have the light you need. Psalms 119:105 says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” What should be your response to the word? Simple believe, obey and do it. Mary said in John 2:5, “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” Our text this morning says if you do the word, you are wise.

“And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?“ 2 Kings 5:13

“And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.” Luke 5:5

The word of the Lord came as an instruction to Naaman to terminate his nighttime of leprosy but he rejected the word and was angry. Nevertheless, fortunately he had wise servants with him to whom he listened. The servants advised him to do the word and he did it. His nighttime of infirmities was over forever.  Peter obeyed the word and his nighttime of failure came to an end. It does not matter how foolish the word may sound to you, if you do it, you will be wise and your nighttime will be terminated.

Let your nighttime expire and let your daytime begin in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Let the word of the Lord come to me in Jesus name.
