DARKNESS

In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. - - Gen 1:1-5 KJV

( And the light shineth in darkness ; and the darkness comprehended it not. - - John 1: 5 KJV)

Darkness is a force that opposes the presence of light (in our lives). From the first day of God’s creation, darkness tried to undermine the good work of God until God acknowledges the presences of light.        

Before light the whole universe was not of formed and invalid just because darkness was trying prevailing over Gods Creation.  Out of Gods wisdom, He called light into existing. God did not eliminate the darkness totally from the universe but kept it separated from the light and also allowing both to operate equally in nature.

To the general sense of man, especially Christians, Day (Light) is only considered as working hours whiles the Night (Darkness) is also considered as resting (Sleeping) hours just as the creation story was interpreted to us in Sunday school. So, from our childhood we all programmed to work fully on the day time and sleep fully at night without knowing the negative impact of the night on  our lives.

Remember that, God did not sleep after discovering the formless nature of the universe but acted urgently, by introducing light. When God provided the light, He acknowledged it.

We must not entertain the night or darkness at all with our sleeps because the night is not what we thought of but something else. There are a lot of mysteries that are hidden from us about the night.

The night is not only destined for sleeping or resting alone but for planning and praying ahead of the day light. Satan, demons as well as the spirits do not sleep. They operate 24/7 without sleeping. If we sleep too much throughout the night, we are endangering our live (both physically and spiritually).

Christians must note that real wars and battles are fought in the night not in the day hours. And also remember that winners won in the night and experience the victory in the day.

FOUR THINGS CHRISTIANS MUST DO BEFORE SLEEPING IN THE NIGHT

•   Always read the Bible or any biblical (gospel) related book
•  Play and Listen to a preaching or gospel music (from your phone, radio, TV or any useful gadget)
•  Anoint yourself and spring the blood of Jesus in your room
•   Worship God for your life

We must be wise and open our eyes, for the night is not all that friendly to us. Let us always prepare when we the darkness approaching.

Because the night (Darkness) creates avenue for the wicked ones to fight against us. Sickness, discourage, poverty and many more are what occupied the presence of darkness (Night).

So, Note that, whatever is given to us or taken away from us in the Night cannot be acquired in the bright day light. To reclaim our ownership of it, then, we fight it at the night, exactly the same period of the time (Night) it was taken or given to.
