Welcome to the 358th day of the year! Day 358 is the first day of the 52nd week; the 15th day in the last 22/23 days of the year. It is December 24 in a clear year and December 23 in a Leap Year.
Day 358 is a first season day; just like the first day of creation. On the first day creation, God made a difference, by His Word and Spirit, in a world of darkness. God brought forth light to dismantle darkness. This is a day to enforce the rule of light. It is a day to declare and demonstrate that God reigns. Darkness was the first enemy of creation to be subdued. Mental darkness is the first enemy of man; and is subdued through education. As on the first day of creation, God subdued darkness, and delivered the universe from darkness, instituted time, and made a difference between darkness and light (day and night), the 358th day is for coming out of darkness into light. Day 358 is a day of victory over darkness. It is a day to end the reign of darkness and experience freedom from the power of darkness – spiritually and materially.
Day 358 is a book of Genesis day in the 52nd week of the year. Genesis is the first book of the Bible. In this book, made man and every other thing and revealed Himself and His will to man. He expected man to obey Him. Although man did not obey God, God still found and chose a family and generation that will obey Him and fulfill His purpose. The book of Genesis is a book of light. Without this book, we would be in gross darkness about existence – about how we came here and why. This is the book that tells us what happened, when, and why. This book tells us about men who walked with the Invisible God and how they fared. Day 358 is a day of light through revelation. It is a day to walk by light from God – following God by faith.
Day 358 is a book of Ezra day in the last 22/23 days of the year. Ezra is the fifteenth book of the Bible and is applicable to this 15th day. The book of Ezra opens with the written proclamation of King Cyrus; concerning God’s command to him to rebuild the temple of God at Jerusalem. It was the Word of God, which King Cyrus received that birthed the narrative in the book of Ezra. In this book, and by the written proclamation of King Cyrus, Israel came out of the darkness of Babylonian captivity and had light to return to rebuild the temple at Jerusalem. Day 358 is for walking in the light of the written word. Today, take your stand on God’s word to walk out of spiritual bondage and rebuild what the enemy had destroyed in your life, family, business, ministry, or community. Light has come; and the reign of darkness is over.
Day 358 is a day First-Thessalonians-chapter-one day. The first chapter of the 52nd book of the Bible is applicable to to the first day of the 52nd week of the year. In the first chapter of First Thessalonians, Paul wrote about the response of the Thessalonians to the word of God and how they “turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come”. To turn from idols to serve the Living God is like coming out of darkness and walking into light. “God is Light; and there is no darkness in Him”.
Day 358 is a day of light and not a day of darkness.
Day 358 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 52nd week. Going through any week is like taking 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 first day of the week is the beginning of the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the first 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the first 10 books of the Bible, God revealed Himself as Creator and Caretaker. He chose those who aligned with His purpose for blessings; and reserved judgment for those who disregard Him. The first 10 books began with the creation and fall of the man in the image and likeness of God; and ended with the emergence of the man after God’s heart sitting on the throne of God’s choice nation. David was absolutely loyal to God. He gave himself for whatever God wanted. This is a day of aligning with God and becoming a man (woman) after His heart.
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 collapse and end of expressions and manifestations of darkness in your life and world. Decree that expressions of light will triumph in this first day of the week. Today, make a quality decision to receive the word of the Lord and act on it without fear or doubts. Make a quality decision to walk in unconditional love. This is a day of sacrificial (tough) love. Today, take time to hear from God. Do not act without His direction. Follow what He says or shows. Today, seek the Lord against disasters in the week as you come into alignment. Call upon Him for mercy.!
On this day in 2018 (December 24), the new and first female governor of the Mexican state of Puebla and her senator husband died in a helicopter crash, with others, ten days after her narrow election victory. It was a day of darkness in Puebla, Mexico. On the same day, in Nigeria, 13 soldiers and a police officer died in a Boko Haram attack in the North Eastern state of Borno. Those disasters were the works of darkness.
Today, decree against darkness, its works and agents. Day 358 is a day of the Revealed Word of God. Declare it and God will take care of it. Respond positively to it, and it would bear much fruit. Happy 358th day.
