HOURS OF PRAYER

Ac 3:1 ¶ Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

Mt 20:

1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. (Early in the morning signifies 6am, the end of dawn, God sends Angels to come for our needs)

2 "Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. (Be careful not to underestimate God, the early in the morning people only did the landlord bargain with)

3 "And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, (6+3=9, 9am God comes around for our needs again).

4 "and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.

5 "Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. (6+6=12, 12noon and 6+9=15, 15GMT or 3pm)

6 "And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?' (6+11=17, 17GMT or 5pm)

7 "They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'

8 "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.' (There is a need for us to come together a group to receive the answers to our prayers.)

1.      There is a need for us to pray not less than five times daily.(6:00,9:00,12:00,15:00,17:00). From 18:00, we begin to wait on God for answered prayers.

2.      The early people has the opportunity of bargaining whiles the latter do not.

3.      There is a need to come together as a group before the master to receive our answers.

SIXTH HOUR

Ac 10:9 ¶ The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

Mt 27:45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.

Joh 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Joh 19:14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

NINTH HOUR

Ac 3:1 ¶ Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

Mt 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

Ac 10:3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius!" Ac 10:4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?" So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.

THIRD HOUR

Mr 15:25 Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

Ac 2:15 "For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.

DANIEL

Da 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.
