MISSING LINKS MINISTRIES is inviting you to a 15-minute prayer session right in your own home. There are two sessions that you can get involved in: from 12 midnight till 12:15 a.m. and 3 a.m. till 3:15 a.m. The Bible says that at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God (Acts 16:25).  We are encouraging people of all races and nationalities to join in this prayer EVERY NIGHT, everyday, every week and all year round as the Lord gives the grace, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

I always imagine what people actually do during this period of the night - sleep or watch television or movies?  Whenever my children sit down to watch television, I always remind them that the creators of those programmes they watch reap huge financial gains from that pastime they engage in. Well, there may be nothing wrong in doing certain things to the profit of others, that is making things happen for them, but we need to make efforts and pray seriously to make things happen for us as well.

Whenever I take a walk or travel at night or very early in the morning, whether on a bus, a train, or by car, I always find the period particularly serene and peaceful than the daytime. Even when I look out through the window at night, I see the hand of God weave peace over everything on earth.  But while many people enjoy a peaceful rest during this time, it’s not the case with many others, which is not supposed to be so, for the Bible says in Psalm 127:2 that God giveth His beloved sleep.  That is why, before we sleep, we need to commit ourselves into the Lord’s hands in prayer.

Why did Jesus Christ pray mostly at night?  Why did Paul and Silas pray when they were facing serious challenges in their lives and ministry?  In many places, the Bible tells us that David, through prayer, enquired of the Lord before he took decisions – both minor and major ones.  Therefore, the power of prayer cannot back to topbe over-emphasised.

Sometime ago, we initiated a Midnight Hour Prayer Ministry as an arm of Missing Links Ministries. For fifteen minutes beginning from 12 midnight, every night, it’s prayer galore. Of course, individuals choose what they pray about in their respective homes but we urge people not to forget to pray for us and our ministries for more anointing and the blessing of the Lord.

The major areas of our prayer focus are the family, children, nations, governments and those in authority and leadership.  We must all do this prayer together.

THE MIDNIGHT HOUR IS QUITE CRUCIAL
I always find something quite intriguing about the midnight prayer.  The very moment I announce, “It’s prayer time,” I find sleep creeping upon my eyelids, making me long for my bed. I instinctively know that if I should fail to get up and shake off the sleep, that could be the end of the prayer effort. If you desire to get involved in midnight prayer but find yourself struggling for the time and the strength to do it, CALL FOR THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Alternatively, you may have to invest in a good alarm clock that will wake you up at the desired time.  All you need do after this is ask for the help of the Holy Spirit in summing up the courage to make the sacrifice and rise to your feet and pray. It’s better to pray in this standing position than adopt any other position that might send you to sleep under five minutes.

REMEMBER TO SEND US YOUR TESTIMONIES
The midnight hour is a sacrificial time of prayer.  As you decide to sacrifice your time to do it, expect miracles and wonders and thank God for answered prayers.  However, don’t forget to send us your testimonies for our record.
