And in the morning rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. Mark 1:35 KJV

Actions are important for result, but the most strategic action is what delivers the desired result. The person being referred to in our anchor scripture is Jesus. He healed and performed all manner of creative miracles in the day and spoke with so much clarity and understanding in all His teachings. An intelligent mind would ask what He did for this to happen? What did He do to manifest during the day unhindered with powers and authority bowing to Him? Everything was under His command, because of an action that was strategic. Jesus created a time when He prays without distraction and He chooses the early hours of the day before daybreak. There is a mystery that makes praying early very effective. The day starts by 12 a.m. and not by 6 a.m. your ability to maximize the early hours and pray will empower you to face the rest of the day properly.

Praying at midnight hours delivers strategic results and answers. It’s the moment of refueling, you can pray any time and God will answer you, but answers are in heights and levels. Paul and Silas applied this principle and got delivered from prison. Jesus applied the same principle and will always pray in the early hours of the day and in the morning He’ll be manifesting. Beloved seek God early and make it a habit and your life will never remain the same.

Today’s Thought: “Those who seek God early, find Him.”

Keynote: Seek the Lord early, don’t wait for trouble to come before you seek Him.

Counsel: Choose a time and a place when you’ll be less distracted and pour out your heart to God in prayers. Midnight is mostly preferable because of its quietness, when the day becomes busy the tendency to be distracted is very high.

Prayer: I receive the spirit of might and strength to do what I am required to do. Help me Lord to be disciplined with my prayer life and give me results like Yours after praying in Jesus name, amen. The power of the God will assist you today, go in His might.
