Chapter six
The Midnight hour…
1Th 5:7. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken
are drunken in the night.

he midnight is the transition point between two
days or level.
This is a very critical period in a man’s life,
at this point, many loose consciousness of themselves, their dreams and
destiny. This is the breaking point that ushers you from one level of glory to
another.
Esau
lost his birthright at the midnight hour of his life, his destiny and future
became distorted from that moment when his appetite could not allow him to
foresee the future and let go of the pleasure of today. But out rightly despise
his birthright, by birth, he was suppose to carry on with the Abrahamic linage
and blessings. It was suppose to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Esau, but the
order was changed to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The
midnight could be a testing period, to know if you are prepared and qualified
to carry on to the next level.
King
Saul lost his throne to David, because he could not manage his midnight period.
Jesus
also found himself at this critical period, when he began to be very sorrow full
and started feeling the pain of death
then came to Gethsemane to pray, he said “how I which that this cup will pass away from me, but nevertheless, not my
will but thy will be done”
At this point, his flesh was weak, but his spirit
was still very willing, he could have called twelve legions of angels to come
for his rescue but did not, because he knew that if he makes the wrong decision
at this moment, everything will go wrong, and the entire human race will be in
perpetual darkness, most of all the Father would have been disappointed.
What
you do at the midnight hour matters a lot, Jesus prayed and got his victory.
Peter denied the lord three good times at his own midnight hour, he started
sleeping at the hour he was suppose to be praying. For Judas his greed for
money took over him at this hour and the ended betraying his master.
The
midnight hour is the hour you are most vulnerable and the devil can take
advantage of that, hence the word says “watch and pray”. Paul and Silas was in
the prison lock up, but at midnight began to praise and pray, and the Holy
ghost came down, shook the foundation of the prison and liberated them. It was
also the midnight hour for the church when bro james was taken and killed
before the eyes and because they were still sleeping, herod came again and took
peter, but thank God the church woke up from their sleep and began to pray,
even though peter himself was sleeping in the prison when he was suppose to be
praying, the angel of the lord stepped into the prison that night and delivered
him.
Take note of your area of weakness and moments
when you are most vulnerable, let God help you deal with it, because “what you don’t address will undress you”.
