Visions in Night Seasons

Today, let us be reminded that God is speaking to us and He is showing us directions that will take us closer to the visions and purposes He has for us. There can be several seasons in life where we feel like we are in a pit where there is no direction, fresh encounters or revelations or visions, but God knows how to speak to us in the midst of the darkness if we are willing to submit. Like Paul in today’s scripture, he knew that God was speaking to him after the vision. When we look at where Paul was in the previous verses, He was not allowed to go to other places because the Spirit of God in him did not allow him to go elsewhere. He was instructed to go all in to the world but there were times when he was feeling that there were places he needed not go. The Spirit of God in him was restricting him but In the midst of all these, one night of a vision was what helped Paul because he was ready to surrender to a word that God will speak over his life.

At times, the problem with many of us is that we are waiting for the perfect opportunity, timing or environment where God can speak and when He does maybe that we are continuously asking for more confirmation, revelations or answers or a prophetic word rather than immediately obeying what God has spoken. In response to this, immediately He got up and went to Macedonia and Macedonia had a prominent city, Phillipi and the church there was born because of the dream Paul had. If He would have refused to yield to that revelation, thousands of people who Got saved would not have been saved. We never know what are the results and the manifestations of the power of God that are waiting in response to our obedience to God. The Glory is waiting, the revival is waiting but it will not come through till we yield and are willing to acknowledge that it is God who is speaking to us. May we never disregard any dream or vision which we receive because it was not received at a convenient time or a convenient way. In this season, if we are willing to submit, it will be made clear to us that it is the will and desire of God to travel in a particular direction.

Praying that all our night seasons, dreams and conversations are filled with encounters of Gods will and plans that we will never be in doubt about what God wants us to do.
