Day 291 is a fourth day of creation day in the 42nd week. On the fourth day of creation, God created the luminaries to give light and hold darkness in check; to rule the day and the night; and to give signs. In the fourth seasons of life, darkness fights back. We need light from God’s Word, God’s Spirit, and God’s Agents, to make it through the spiritual darkness of fourth seasons. In the 42nd book of the Bible, the temptation of Jesus is recorded in the fourth chapter. He was tempted on three major points: appetite, fame, and possessions. Jesus overcame the tempter by the word of God and returned to Galilee in the power of the Holy Spirit. A soon as Jesus returned to Jerusalem, His fame spread abroad. He presented Himself in the synagogue as the fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 61. Isaiah 61:1-3 says, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; [2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, [3] To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
He also performed miraculous cures on the sick. As the Light of the fourth season, Jesus stood over the powers of darkness in the lives of people: the demon-possessed, Peter’s mother in-law, and people with various diseases.
Day 291 is a Luke 13-15 day in the 42nd week. The 3 chapters in the fourth division of the 42nd book of the Bible are applicable to the fourth day of the 42nd week. The fourth season is a season of tests and this reflected in the parables of the fourth division chapters of Luke. The 13th chapter opens with a call to repentance. The 14th is about lessons on humility and the cost of following Jesus Christ. The 15th chapter is about the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son and illustrate God’s attitude to the lost and penitent.
Day 291 is a book of First Corinthians day in the sixth 49 days of the year. The 46th book of the Bible, First Corinthians, and the 46th chapters of the Bible, are applicable. In the 46th book of the Bible, Paul gave answers to critical questions bothering the church and cast light against the darkness that sought to overtake the church through carnality.
Day 291 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The fourth day of the week is the day closing the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the last nine books of the Old Testament. Today is the bridge-day leading to the New Testament side of the week. The books of ‘the minor prophets’ are part of the last 9 books of the O.T. They are about judgment and promises of restoration. Today is a day of the dominion of the Voice of God in the nations. Let His Voice dominate in your life.
DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, raise your voice against wickedness and oppression wherever it is found. Prophesy! Prophesy!! Prophesy!!! Today, also pray to be more sensitive in the spirit; to pick up necessary signals that would help you triumph over the enemy and keep darkness away. Today, pray to be delivered from falling into temptation. Pray to be preoccupied with the person of God; and to be focused on His mandate and His revealed purpose for your life. Be careful to weigh every decision in light of God’s purpose for your life; and God’s purpose for the time. Today, proclaim an end to woes and declare the dawn of a new day. Happy Day 291!
