In the field that is led by God, important answers are hidden. Therefore, you must concentrate on the time schedule of God’s field. Paul entered the synagogue where the important time schedule that arose in thefield was hidden. Even before going to Rome, when he met an important church officer, he still concentrated on that time schedule of the synagogue where the posterity was hidden.

1. Acts 17:1~6
The ministry of going into synagogues and looking for the hidden posterity will surely appear as unseen fruit of the future. Paul who entered Thessalonica evangelized according to the custom of preaching the Gospel and the time schedule that was necessary for the field. Furthermore, the reason why Jesus had to be Christ and the imperativeness of Christ were explained. Moreover, after meeting important church officers and businesspeople, they went to the synagogue every Sabbath.

2. Acts 19:8~20
If you look at the stream of Paul’s main ministry, it was a disciple ministry which was centered on synagogues and lecture halls. He boldly explained the works of God’s Kingdom to his disciples and the posterity who were in the synagogue. As a result of taking his disciples from the synagogue and concentrating in the lecture hall for two years, all the Jews and Greeks who lived in Asia heard the Word of the Lord.

At night, after you finish your work, you must have a time of deep prayer to receive healing and answers. Jesus also had that time of deep prayer at night in Gethsemane. Paul also discovered answers through deep prayer at night in stifling situations where all doors were blocked.

Dear God, thank you for granting me the power to discover hidden answers within the works and meetings that took place today before You. May my today with You become the greatest blessing. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

* What Must You Do during the Stifling Night When All Doors Are Blocked?

Acts 16:6 | “And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.”

During that stifling night, Paul entered a time of deep prayer.

Acts 16:9~10 | “And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.”

Ultimately, during a situation when everything was blocked, Paul utilized deep prayer at night to enjoy the blessing of discovering and obeying the answers prepared by God.
