Welcome to the 260th day of the year. Day 260 is the first day and beginning of the 38th week. It is the first day and beginning of the third week in the sixth 49 days; the 15th day in the sixth 49 days. This is a first-season day. It is September 17 in a Clear Year; and September 16 in a Leap Year. The Bible patterns for understanding Day 259 are the first day of creation narrative, the first two chapters of the 38th book of the Bible, and the 15th book and chapters of the Bible.
Day 260 is a first day of creation day in the 38th week. The first day of creation was a day of new beginnings, It was the beginning of the demonstration of the dominion of God on this side of existence. On that day, God began to reorder circumstances by His Word. God did four significant things on that day. 1. He called light into existence, by His word, to dispel the prevailing darkness. 2. He separated the light from the darkness. 3. He gave names to light and darkness. He called the light day; and called the darkness night. 4. He also created time by instituting morning and evening and making the first day. Day 260 is a day of light dominating darkness. It is a mastering and subduing the kingdom of darkness by the word of God. This is a day of seizing control and saying No to the kingdom of darkness. It is a day to call forth a new beginning and declare an end to the reign of darkness in your world and over the earth. God is Light and there is no darkness in Him.
Day 260 is the beginning of the ‘week of the last battle’ against the life-threatening waters in the sixth 49 days of the year. This is the week when the enemy puts out his toughest and fiercest fight in the sixth 49 days. He comes against men with life threatening pressures. Today, let us take the power from the kingdom of day – from demonic spirits causing fear, confusion, deception, and stumbling. Pray. Declare the word. Obey God and apply His Word. Shun every cooperation or partnership with the kingdom of darkness today. Darkness will have no sway today. Let the Lord be magnified. His word rules.
Day 260 is a Zechariah 1-2 day. The book of Zechariah is the 38th book of the Bible; and the first two chapters of the book applicable to the first day of the 38th week of the year. The book of Zechariah is God’s announcement of His intention to pluck up “the horns that scattered Judah”; and end the abuse of his people at the hands of foreigners. Zechariah 1:13-17 says, “And the LORD answered the angel who talked to me, with good and comforting words. [14] So the angel who spoke with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “I am zealous for Jerusalem And for Zion with great zeal. [15] I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease; For I was a little angry, And they helped-but with evil intent.” [16] ‘Therefore thus says the LORD: “I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it,” says the LORD of hosts, “And a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.”‘ [17] “Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The LORD will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem.”‘” Zechariah 2:10-13 says, “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the LORD. [11] “Many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you. [12] And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. [13] Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!”.
The book of Zechariah is a declaration of the end of the era and reign of darkness over God’s people. Day 260 is the beginning of a positive new day for those who fear God.
Day 260 is a Book of Ezra day in the sixth 49 days of the year. Ezra is the 15th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 15th day in the sixth 49 days of the year. The book of Ezra is about the Proclamation of King Cyrus that ended the Babylonian captivity of the Jews; and released the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple; which the Babylonians had destroyed. They returned and began to rebuild the temple amid great opposition from the adversaries of Judah in the land. They triumphed and the building was completed. After the rebuilding of the physical temple, Ezra went to Jerusalem to rebuild the lives of the people spiritually.
Day 260 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 38th 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 38th 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, seek alignment with God and His Word; through obedience, repentance, and prayer. On this day, in 2018, Syria downed Russia’s military plane and the fifteen-man crew perished. They hurt the allies thinking they were hurting Israel. No clear vision! Today, take time to hear from God. Do not act without His direction. Follow what He says or shows. Although the 38th season is a time of pressures, your loyalty to God and people must shine forth. Today, seek the Lord against disasters in the week. Call upon Him for mercy. Happy 260th Day!
BORN ON THIS DAY? Ecclesiastes 3: 2 says there is a time to be born. The day you were born was your day to be born – whether it came before or after the expected day. You came into this world at the right time. You were born in that season for a reason. All things show up when they are needed. Heaters are for cold seasons and air conditioners are for hot seasons. You were born on this day because the world needed you. You came as an answer to prayer. You were born to be part of the Creator’s solution to problems associated with the day of your birth. Although you came as a little baby, you were equipped with answers. A person’s day of birth is clue to understanding the person’s spiritual identity and the person’s mission on earth. You were born to be a change agent and a status quo breaker. As light was born to end the tyranny of darkness, you were born on this Book of Ezra day to bring certain challenges to an end. You are a Cyrus – like the one who ended Babylonian captivity for the Jews. You came to be or give light to people sitting in darkness. Today, give thanks to God for your life and strengthen yourself in your ordination and mandate. Happy birthday!
