STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING A CONSISTENT MIDNIGHT PRAYER ALTAR

STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING A CONSISTENT MIDNIGHT PRAYER ALTAR

One of the challenges a lot of people face is the inability to have a midnight Prayer life and for some, it is the inability to remain consistent in their prayer life especially with midnight Prayers.
I can assure you, that the best time to build a Prayer Altar is midnight.
Before I share the Strategies to building a consistent midnight prayer Altar, i will like to let you know that there are factors that motivates it. It doesn’t just happen. You don’t just wake up one day and start praying by midnight and remain consistent with it for a long time. It will be difficult to maintain if you don’t know this factors.

Some of the factors that motivates you to engage in the midnight Prayer are;
1) HUNGER : This is the driving force, the passion and the willingness to do it. A lot of people are stuck in the level of “Wanting to do it” but the truth is that the second factor that i’m about to share determines if you will leave the level of willingness and move to the level of actually doing it.
2) BURDEN
This is where the why comes in. The burden is the reason that sponsors the hunger. It could be a personal drive, it could be motivated by family burdens, community or country. Whatever the reason is, that is the purpose behind the hunger to engage in midnight prayers.
You cannot build an Altar without a reason. You will by your own hand pull it down because there is no purpose attached to it.
THE QUESTION NOW IS WHY DO YOU WANT TO RAISE A PRAYER ALTAR AT MIDNIGHT?
(Let the Holy Spirit help you to supply the right answer to this question)

PAY ATTENTION TO THESE WORDS BEFORE WE TAKE THE THIRD FACTOR;
God will not get completely involved until he sees your seriousness. This is where a lot of people struggle a lot. They want God to start it and to constantly drag them to the secret place, but it doesn’t work that way.
God will test your faithfulness before committing himself to any business of raising an Altar.

Raising an Altar is a serious business in the realm of the spirit. It demands that a Priest must be involved and start the process first, be committed and faithful to the activities and God, seeing the level of his commitment and faithfulness comes to Honour it.

Altar attracts spirits. Both Angels and demons are attracted to the place of Altar. This is not to scare you but to bring you to the knowledge of what Altars represent and some of the activities that goes on there.

Altars attracts attacks but it is still on that altar that you destroy them and get Victory. If there are no attacks that comes with raising an Altar, what will you be doing in the SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY? It is because of the inevitable presence of attacks that comes as a result of having a secret place, that is why there’s the SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY FOR PROTECTION.
The SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY guarantees protection for only those who dwell in the secret place says the Word of God in Psalms 91 verse 1.
“He that dwelleth in the secret place(Altar) of the most High Shall abide under the SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY”

What differentiate both the good and the evil Altars are the engagements on those Altars.
A believers Altar must carry the Word of God (Declaring the Word of God during Prayers).
The prayers must be made to the Living God through Jesus Christ His Son who is our Lord and Saviour.
The Blood of Jesus must speak on your Altar. So you must always invoke the Blood upon your Altar at every time by pleading the blood of Jesus during the activities of prayer.
The Spirit of the living God must oversee the affairs of the Altar. All directions must come from Him including what to pray about at any given time.

You must understand that the Holy Spirit is also the Spirit of supplication and intercession. This knowledge of Him will help you not to worry about the prayer points needed during prayers. He knows what you should pray and how you should pray the prayers unto God.

NOW TO THE THIRD FACTOR,
3) TIME
To raise a midnight Prayer Altar, you must in partnership with the Holy Spirit create a time for the prayers to be made on a daily basis.
The time created can not be changed by you.
It must be maintained.
The secret place is a place that is time conscious.
If you must do business with God, you must keep to time.
Be faithful and consistent. This requires that you don’t just wake up daily to pray, but wake up daily at a particular time to pray.

Two attributes that makes God committed to your midnight Prayer Altar are;
FAITHFULNESS : This has to do with your commitment to pray always at midnight.
CONSISTENCY: This isn’t just about your commitment to pray daily but about your commitment to a particular timing whether it is convenient or not. It has become a covenant time between you and God.
When this time is faithfully and consistently kept, it is recorded in heaven and when this happens, you are granted access to the realm of the spirit, activities of the supernatural begins to take place, activations are made, you will be able to pick signals through your eyes, ears and heart because your spiritual sense organs are already activated.
You will then be granted access to angelic encounters. Angels will be sent to you, messages will be passed across to you, directions will be given to you. You will have a taste of the heavenly activities right here on Earth.

YOU MUST BE TIME CONSCIOUS IF YOU MUST BUILD A SUSTAINABLE MIDNIGHT PRAYER ALTAR UNTO GOD.

IN RAISING AN ALTAR, YOU ARE CREATING A MEETING POINT BETWEEN THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND YOU THE HUMAN STANDING AS THE PRIEST.

PRIESTS DON’T SLEEP ON ALTARS, ALTARS ARE MADE FOR ACTIVITIES. THERE’S ALWAYS ACTIVITIES GOING ON, ON THE ALTAR. THAT IS WHY GOD WOKE SAMUEL UP. YOU DON’T SLEEP ON THE ALTAR.

THE LAW GUIDING THE ALTAR IS THAT THE PRIEST SHOULD NEVER LET THE LIGHT GO OFF. SO WHEN YOU START TO RAISE AN ALTAR BEFORE GOD, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE A PRIEST AND YOUR DUTY IS TO ENSURE THAT THE LIGHT REMAINS AND NEVER GOES OFF.

STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING A CONSISTENT MIDNIGHT PRAYER ALTAR.
1) SET AN ALARM. This is a system of advantage that technology had provided you.
I know that the Holy Spirit can wake you up but please set your alarm. It is also a disciplinary measure you have implemented for yourself, that shows the Holy Spirit that you are committed to making this a possibility physically. You may not know it, but it is recorded with God as a contributor to your level of faithfulness and commitment to your Prayer life.
Depending only on the Spirit of God to wake you up is by itself laziness because the Bible already tells you that there is a constant battle between the Spirit and the flesh and that the Spirit is willing but the flesh is not. So by setting an alarm you are consciously bringing the flesh under your control and the control of the Spirit. (The noise of the alarm clock helps you to physically bring your flesh under the control of the Spirit)

RULES GUIDING THE ALARM CLOCKS FOR NIGHT PRAYERS
Your alarm clock must be a bit far from you so that when it rings, you will need extra efforts like standing up, moving towards it, stretching of your hands beyond the normal in other to turn it off. This little but powerful action reduces the amount of sleep in your eyes at that time and you may immediately feel thirsty.

Give your alarm time a title (For those using phones to set the alarm). It is important that your alarm carries the label–Midnight Prayer or any words that best describes the activity for that time.
Still for those using phones to set alarms, do not use your phone until you run out of battery. Preserve that 5percent and switch on to battery saver. This is specifically for people living in countries that don’t have regular power supply. Saving your phone battery from completely going off is a form of discipline and commitment that validate the importance of your Prayer Altar to you and unto God.

2) START SMALL TO GROW BIG : You must understand that capacity is given based on your ability. God knows you and gives you based on your ability. Everyone does not have the same ability. So, do not copy timing from people and do not be motivated by the timing of others to raise an Altar and build a sustainable prayer life.
That a young man or woman can prays consistently for two hours daily does not guarantee that you can.
Burdens are released based on abilities.
Assignment are given based on abilities.
The reason why a person can pray for three hours every day is because there’s that ability inside of him which didn’t start from three hours but from minutes and then it keeps growing till he or she gets to that level of praying for three hours daily effortlessly.
This you must know did not happen a day, it took months and years to arrive at that level. So you must not use the current level of a person to start raising a Prayer Altar but you must start with the Grace supplied to you by the Spirit of God and then keep growing until you occupy the entire period of time captured in your prayer Altar by God.

3) ASK FOR THE ENABLING GRACE
There’s a Grace that the Spirit supplies to keep you burning at all times.
You must understand that little contributions and disciplinary measures are needed but it is just a fraction of what is required. There is a Grace that enables and sustains a Prayer Altar. It is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit says the Lord
This Grace has been made available unto you but to tap into it you must play your role and ask for the supply of the Grace upon you.
GOD IS EVER READY TO SUPPLY GRACE TO ANYONE WHO ASK.

If you know anyone struggling with their prayer life, help them by sharing this message to them.
Share to that friend, mother, Father, sister and brother and as well as that online prayer community or group
LET JESUS ALONE BE GLORIFIED.

THIS TEACHING IS AN EXPERIENCIAL KNOWLEDGE NOT JUST A THEORY. FAITHFULLY PRACTICE IT AND YOU WILL GET RESULTS.
