The benefits of getting up early and praying.
Getting Up Early
In an episode of Pure Gold, Pastor Steven Brooks talks about the benefits of getting up early and praying. The Bible has recorded many times Jesus and the apostles are praying even before the sun rises. There is so much benefit in waking up early to pray. One is that you can redeem the entire day by starting it right.
“According to the Greek, the word ‘redeem’ means to buy up completely,” Pastor Steven said. “When you get up early and pray, you actually buy that day out so that that day is full of victory. The word ‘redeem’ also means to rescue from loss. When you get up early and pray, even pray at night, what will happen is that you will position that day that you’re going to step into. You will position it from victory; you will redeem it from loss.”
Praying
By redeeming the entire day and declaring the power of the Lord over it, we are declaring that it would be a productive day. A productive day for the works of the Kingdom. There will be no wasted days if we just put Him first.
“You’ll never have wasted days. You’ll never have unproductive days, but you will have days of victory where you accomplish the things that God has assigned you to do.”
The presence of the Lord will be your guide for the day. He will tell you what to do or what to say. So, declare the presence of the Lord every day early in the morning.
“If you’ll put a great time with the Lord before you ever start your day, now you go into that day and you sense the presence of God. And what the presence of God will do is that it helps govern the way you talk.”
