Night and day, worship and prayer is springing up across the globe and can only be explained as a divine push from Heaven. It is rather astounding, the global worship and prayer movement being raised up. People are praying night and day without stopping. There are thousands of “Houses of Prayer” exploding in growth all over the world. Even here at Christ For The Nations, with the busyness of school and jobs, students at the Gordon Lindsay House of Prayer have raised up a banner of worship and prayer on the campus that consists of some 40 hours weekly.

This is truly not normal, but why night and day prayer? Could it be that we are farther along in the timeline of history than we think we are? Why such an emphasis on prayer in this hour? We could travel in-depth into theological explanations to answer these questions; however, it would go beyond the scope of this blog. What is the simplest answer to the question “why night and day prayer?”

Because.

He is worthy of night and day worship and prayer. The God-man, Jesus Christ, who conquered sin and death, is worth it. The worth of Jesus is immeasurable, and we will worship and praise his name for eternity. Non-stop worship and prayer is normal in Heaven. Why shouldn’t it become normal on Earth? His kingdom come, His will be done. The vastness of Jesus’ beauty and worth is always on display, but not always accessed or gazed upon. To a church that will choose worship and prayer as their first priority, the Kingdom of Heaven cannot be far behind.

The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 1 Peter 4:7
