🌙 Midnight Call Reflection – 9th November 2025

Theme: Faithful in the Waiting
Scripture: “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.” – Psalm 37:7 (NIV)

As the world sleeps, the night reminds us that God is awake. The midnight hour is not just a moment of silence—it is a sacred appointment with the Lord. In the quiet, distractions fade, and the heart is exposed to the whispers of Heaven.

Tonight, the Lord speaks about patience and persistence in faith. You may be weary, tired of waiting, or feeling overlooked. But remember: every season of delay is a season of preparation. Just as gold is refined in fire, your faith is being strengthened in the waiting.

Reflection:

  • Examine your heart: Are you trying to rush God’s plan?
  • Release frustration and bitterness; they will only cloud the divine purpose.
  • Trust that every prayer spoken, every act of obedience, and every tear shed is seen and stored in Heaven.

Prophetic Word:

  • “The doors you have been knocking on silently are opening in ways you cannot yet see. Your patience will turn into promotion, your waiting into testimony, and your faithfulness into favor.”

Prayer:

Lord, in this midnight hour, I surrender my waiting to You. Strengthen my heart to remain steadfast, increase my faith to trust Your timing, and grant me peace in the silence. Let my life reflect Your glory as I await Your perfect plan. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Declaration for Tonight:

  1. I am faithful in the waiting, and my time of breakthrough is at hand.
  2. I release all impatience; God’s timing is perfect in my life.
  3. I will not fret over the success of others; my focus is on God’s purpose for me.
  4. I receive divine favor, guidance, and protection through the night.
  5. I will rise tomorrow renewed, empowered, and ready for the manifestation of God’s promises.

Remember: The midnight hour is a turning point. As you meditate and pray tonight, the Lord is aligning resources, opening doors, and sending angels to position your breakthrough. Trust Him, and keep your heart expectant.

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
