Welcome to the 54th day of the year! Day 54 is the fifth day of the eighth week; and also the fifth day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 54 is a fifth-season day. The Bible patterns for understanding the 54th day are 1) the fifth day of creation narrative; 2) the 54th book of the Bible; 3) the 54th chapters of the Bible; 4) the fifth of the seven sections of Ruth (Ruth 3:1-18), the 8th book of the Bible.
Day 54 is a fifth-day-of-creation day in the 8th week. The fifth day of creation was the beginning of the New Testament side of creation. On the fifth day of creation, God made the sea creatures and birds of the air. He called them living creatures. They are not life sustaining creatures like the vegetation; but ‘living’ creatures. They do not ‘give’ life; they ‘live’ life! They are flesh-and-blood creatures. Besides having the power to grow and reproduce, they also have senses of touch, audition, sight, smell, and taste. They have brains; and therefore capable of reasoning to some degree. Day 54 is a day of life. Be safe and take a stand against things that destroy life. God also blessed His creatures, for the first time, on the fifth day of creation. He made them in abundance and blessed them with fruitfulness and multiplication. They are creatures of diverse colors. Day 54 is a day of blessings instead of curses; a day of abundance instead of scarcity; a day of multiplication instead of destruction or decimation. The fifth day creatures are creatures of voice and balance. The birds fly with their wings; and the fish swim with their fins and tails. Day 54 is a day of moderation, balance, truth, justice, and equity.
Day 54 is a Ruth 3:1-18 day in the 8th week. The fifth section of the eighth book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 8th week of the year. In this fifth section of the eighth book of the Bible, Naomi gave Ruth directions that would eventually lead her to find settlement in her own home and family. She taught her how to connect to Boaz on a deeper level. The counsel worked for her. The 54th season is a season to prosper through counsel.
Day 54 is a book-of-First-Timothy day in the year. First Timothy, the 54th book of the Bible, is about victory through receiving and obeying counsel and instructions. In this book, Paul gave commands and instructions to Timothy for the work of the ministry in his hands; just as Naomi gave Ruth instructions concerning Boaz. Paul was releasing Timothy, as son, to go and oversee a church; as Naomi was planning settlement for Ruth, her daughter. Paul gave instructions to Timothy about prayer, preaching, administration, Christian living and service, and ministerial ethics. Instructions are vital to success in the 54th season.
Day 54 is a 54th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 54th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 54th season (a fifth season) is a time of strength and victory through God’s power. It is a season of reliance on God’s strength and wisdom. God is the secret of victory in the 54th season. Psalm 54 focuses on victory through prayer. Psalm 54:1-7 says, “Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength. [2] Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. [3] For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah [4] Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. [5] He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. [6] I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good. [7] For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies”. Isaiah 54 is about victory through action-faith in God’s word and promises. The entire chapter is about trusting God, stepping out in faith, and counting on God’s faithfulness to keep His promises. God is a deliverer in the 54th season. Today, as you pray to God, you must also receive His in strand follow it.
Within the first four months of 1954, there were three widely reported plane crashes. The first was the January 10 BOAC 781 flight crash that killed all 35 people on board. The third was the April 8 South African Airways flight 201 crash that killed the 21 people on board. The second was the Ernest Hemingsway plane crashes that he survived mysteriously. The American writer and his wife survived two plane crashes within 48 hours (January 23-24) in Uganda, East Africa. “He and Mary were incorrectly reported dead in several newspapers around the world. Hemingway had the pleasure of reading his obituary days later, very much alive, in a cafe in Venice”. God is gracious!
Day 54 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the eighth week. Every week has both an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week expresses the Old Testament – the 39 books of the Bible. The last three days of the week express the New Testament – each day expressing 9 books of the New Testament. Day 54 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 8th week of the year. In this section of the Bible, ancient promises and prophecies are fulfilled, God puts on humanity, hidden truths are revealed, a way is made for the lowly and undeserving, and rules are redefined and given new spiritual and deeper meaning. This s new beginning in the 8th week. This is a day of salvation, deliverance, and redemption. The Savior, Deliverer, and Redeemer has come; and the Work is finished. Let us enter into the New Testament side of the week by faith and enjoy the finished work.
DECREE AND DECLARE: At creation, God spoke His will into each day. He made us in His image and likeness; and expects us to release His will into each day. Decree this day that the flesh will not overtake the spirit in your life, family,, organization, and nation. Decree a change in the week and declare that today is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God is with us) takes over. As a New Testament type day, decree that the love of God will overtake human error and failure. Today, submit to the spirit against the flesh. Walk in the spirit and make no room for the flesh. The fifth season is a season of giving spiritual interpretations to earthly manifestations. Today, make it your watchword to walk in the spirit and obey God’s Word. Walking in the spirit is the key to gaining all. Birds (representing the spirit) fly above and eat from the land, the sea, and the air. Today, cry out to God against oppression and for the pains in your life. Speak out also. Trust Him to intervene in your affairs and in the affairs of people around you. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Today, put yourself on the side of blessing by choosing obedience instead of curses by choosing disobedience. Today, look up! Salvation is here because the Deliverer is here. Have a happy 54th day!
