EARLY IN THE MORNING 

Bible Passage: 2 Chronicles 20:14-20

So, they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” 2 Chronicles 20:20 (NKJV)

There is a strong significant relationship between early morning rising habit and life achievement. The God’s Word and research have confirmed. The greatest victory in humanity was when Christ arose early in the morning. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob understood this secret. Abraham often early in the morning stood before the LORD. (Genesis 19:27; 22:3). Isaac loved transacting his business early in the morning (Genesis 26:28-31).  Jacob received his breakthrough early in the morning (Genesis 32:22-30). Moses formed the habit of challenging Pharaoh early in the morning.  

World best thinkers, leaders and billionaires are early risers. Record-breaking victory and easy wins have been recorded early in the morning more than any other parts of the day. Victory at the Wilderness of Tekoa as read in today’s passage was achieved early in the morning. 

It is very quiet, no distractions early in the morning. Space will not allow to give biblical evidence that angelic ministrations are at their peak while demonic activities also lowest early in the morning. The best time to enjoy communion with God is early in the morning. it is easiest to get divinely inspired in the morning. 

Beloved, there are certain things to also avoid early in the morning. Avoid the temptations to visit social media first early in the morning. You don’t want to start your day with negativities. Let God be your first encounter every morning. You can try the 90-90-1 rule. Devote the first 90 minutes of your morning for 90 days to a particular thing, skill, or project, you will see yourself transform into an expert in it. Above all, have faith in God, believe in yourself, also believe His prophet and you will see yourself established and prosperous.
