HE MAKES THE NIGHT GOOD ALSO

Night is generally identified as the period of darkness between evening and morning. It is a time of rest or cessation from daily activities, which is a good thing. Because darkness also provides cover for evil activities the devil and his demons come out in collaboration with their human agents; usually commit all manner of evil works against people at night.

The night is therefore recognized as the time of peak activity for the powers of darkness, and as the period when evil is easily planned and executed.

Indeed, evil flourishes at night, so much so that the night life of most cities brims over with alcohol, prostitution, gangsterism, drugs, gambling, and other terrible vices

Exposing their mode of operation, the Lord reveals in Matthew 13:25 that while men slept at night, the enemy came, corrupted their destinies with evil seeds and escaped unnoticed.

This situation is especially Rife in places where the spiritual atmosphere is under the control of the rulers of the darkness of this world (Ephesians 6:12).

Notwithstanding the evil characteristics of the night, because God originally created the night to be good, good things can still come out of it.

Among other things, the night time provides an ideal opportunity for worship, praise, prayer and in-depth Bible study. More importantly, multiple examples from the Bible and from our life experiences show that God is in the business of carrying out powerful deliverance is at night.

In Acts 12:6-10, Peter was kept in a maximum-security prison, but an angel of God visited the prison that night.

Peter’s chains were broken and the prison gate opened to him by itself. He walked out of the prison a free man and joined the people of God to celebrate and praise God in the morning.

In Acts 16:25-26, Paul and Silas went to bed as prisoners, but God visited the prison after midnight to deliver them with a foundation-shaking at earthquake, and they woke up as free men in the morning.
