Seeds of Destiny SOD 13th November 2024 Devotional
TOPIC: PRAISING GOD IN YOUR NIGHT SEASONS
SCRIPTURE: 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.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Whenever you experience the night season of life, it is time to release praise and worship to God.
It is interesting to know that one of the advantages of praise and worship, amongst many others, is being the answer to the night seasons of life.
Praise is a weapon that answers the night seasons of life.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that Paul and Silas prayed and praised God at midnight.
Now, when we talk about the night, what does it really refer to?
i. The night time is time of darkness. The night time is a time when it looks as if life is overwhelmed with the forces of darkness. It is the season that looks as if you are fighting dark forces that you don’t know where they came from.
ii. The night time connotes a season of fear. At the night time, you sense all kinds of fear, especially the fear of the unknown.
Most times, people are afraid at night. The season of night implies the season of fear.
iii. The night time connotes a season of confusion and lack of direction. It is a season where there is a great need for direction. Darkness causes lack of direction.
iv. The night time represents a season of inaction. Nothing moves at night; nothing works at night. Except for people who do 24-hour services, everything comes to a standstill at night. Businesses or business activities do not move well at night.
v. The night time is a season of isolation.
The night time is a time where it looks as if you are alone, all to yourself. Feelings of loneliness are most intense at night. That is when you desperately desire to talk to someone. You see, it was in the season of the night that Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises. The midnight is the thickest part of the night.
What I am saying is, whenever you experience the night season of darkness, fear, confusion, lack of direction, inaction and isolation in your life, it is time to pray and praise God.
Whenever you experience the night season of life, it is time to release praise and worship to God.
Remember this: Whenever you experience the night season of life, it is time to release praise and worship to God.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Make up your mind to engage the weapon and power of praise in your night season.
2. Do not complain in the night season of your life, rather, release praise and worship to God like Paul and Silas did.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for the opportunity to praise You in my night season. I receive the grace to worship You at all times, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: To live in praise and worship means living a life that glorifies God. That is, your life brings glory to God. When people see you, they praise God. Culled from the book, “15 Kingdom Strategies for survival” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Acts 25-27.
AMAZING FACT: A lion’s roar serves to warn other animals and lions to stay away from their territory. Male lions will kill cubs that aren’t their own to eliminate competition.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): Receive a fresh garment of praise as I decree the dissolution of your night season, in Jesus’ Name.
