Without doubt, the church builder burns the midnight candle and keeps the morning watch.
[Matthew 14:22-23 KJV] “And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.“
“And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.” (Mark 1:34-37 KJV)
Church is a spiritual thing and one way to build the church is to burn the midnight candle and keep the morning watch.
Jesus after powerful meeting spend nights alone in the woods; and wakes up early before day break goes to a solitary place to pray. Any man who can not burn the midnight candle nor keep the morning watch can not be a church builder. The growth and progress of the church depends on prayer and waiting on the Lord of the harvest.

Prayer
I pray that GOD shall strengthen you with might to pray and stand in the gap to make the hedge for the nations. May your daily prayers be answered and may you have testimonies to share!
Stay blessed!
