When the night is prolonged 6


“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thess 5:18

Thanksgiving, praise and prayer have power to switch on the light in the midst of the darkness of the nighttime. Maintaining your gratitude towards God and spending time with Him in prayer is the key to ensuring continuous light when the night is prolonged. It does not matter how thick the darkness of a night is, as long as there is light, the darkness loses its power.

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.” Acts 16:25-26
“Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand.” Psalms 149:5-6

If you engage the power of thanksgiving, praise and prayer when the nighttime is prolonged, two things will happen. Firstly, you will have access to a word, a promise from God that will see you through. Secondly, God will appear to shake the root of the darkness in your life and to terminate the nighttime.

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

Prayer for today: As I pray with thanksgiving and praise, Oh God arise and appear in my nighttime in Jesus name.
