The Mysteries In Twenty-Four Hours Series

A. Introduction:

God in His infinite wisdom created the heavens and the earth and differentiated the day with light and the night with darkness (Genesis 1:1-2). So twenty-four hours make a day. That is, from sunrise to sunset we have 24hours-divided into 12hrs of the day (6 am -6 pm) and another 12hrs of the night (7 pm -6 am).

Within this 24hrs, lies the great mystery and miracles that the almighty God can do, and nobody can query or challenge Him. That’s why the Bible says in Psalm 115:3 and Job 33:13, that He is a God who does anything and gives account to no one of His actions! Within this 24hrs, God can change destinies and stories to manifest His glory in His sovereignty. It is not surprising, therefore, that, God can turn slave to become king, beggar to become giver, debtor to become a creditor, borrower to become lender, tenants to become landlords, frustrated to become celebrated, rejected to become accepted, scarcity to become abundance or surplus, or even turn a dead person back to life, etc. Why? This is because He is the God of all possibilities (Jer. 32:27; Gen 18:14).

Let’s look at the Bible and see those amazing miracles that God wrought within 24hrs in the life of His people and nations.
