Welcome to the 264th day of the year. Day 264 is the fifth day of the 38th week; the fifth day of the third week in the sixth 49 days; the 19th day in the sixth 49 days. It is September 21 in a clear year and September 20 in a leap year. Day 264 is a fifth season day. It could also be called a 19th season day. As a fifth season day, the key to understanding it is the fifth-day creation story; plus the fifth book and chapters of the Bible. As a 19th season day, we get our clue from the 19th book and chapters of the Bible. The 19th is the fifth of the third-seven. As part of the 38th week, Day 264 is a Zechariah 9-10 day.
Day 264 is a fifth day of creation day in the 38th week, On the fifth day of creation, furnished the waters with seas creatures. In fifth seasons, the enemy wants to use the waters as instrument of destruction – not preserving or sustaining life. He also wants to make it a season of fire instead of water. God furnishes in the fifth season but the enemy devastates in the same season. On the fifth day of creation, God made swimming-flying living creatures. That was the first time he made flesh and blood creatures; but that was also the first time He made creatures that could make conscious movement. In the fifth season, God blesses with life and freedom; while the enemy attacks with death and demobilizing forces. On the fifth day of creation, God blessed His creation, for the first time, with fruitfulness and multiplication. The fifth season is a season of blessing; but the enemy seeks to make it a season of decimation and woes.
The 38th book of the Bible is a good illustration of the life God intends on the fifth day of the 38th week. Before God created on the fifth day, the waters were uninhabited. He gave inhabitants to the waters and made the waters a habitation. The book of Zechariah says, “Run, speak to this young man, saying: ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it” (Zechariah 2:4). The 14-chapter book uses the word inhabit (or its derivatives) in 14 verses. This is not a day of devastation but of furnishing. It is not a day to be empty but a day to be filled. It is not a day to be homeless but a day of rehabilitation.
Day 264 is a book of Psalm day in the sixth 49 days of the year. Psalm is the 19th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 19th day in the sixth 49 days of the year. The book of Psalms is about the redeemed that has found sufficiency in God. He stands on the Word of God, prays to God, sings to Him, praises Him, and boasts in Him. Day 264 is a day of absolute trust in God. It is a day to think about God, talk about God, and live in God.
Day 264 is a Zechariah 9-10 day in the 38th week. The fifth 2 chapters of the 38th book of the Bible, is applicable to the fifth day of the 38th week. The ninth chapter of Zechariah opens with a statement in parentheses: (For the eyes of men And all the tribes of Israel Are on the LORD). Both chapters (9 and 10) are full of promises. Zechariah 9:8,11,16-17 says, “I will camp around My house Because of the army, Because of him who passes by and him who returns. No more shall an oppressor pass through them, For now I have seen with My eyes. [11] “As for you also, Because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. [16] The LORD their God will save them in that day, As the flock of His people. For they shall be like the jewels of a crown, Lifted like a banner over His land- [17] For how great is its goodness And how great its beauty! Grain shall make the young men thrive, And new wine the young women”.
Zechariah 10:6-8 says, “I will strengthen the house of Judah, And I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, Because I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them aside; For I am the LORD their God, And I will hear them. [7] Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, And their heart shall rejoice as if with wine. Yes, their children shall see it and be glad; Their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. [8] I will whistle for them and gather them, For I will redeem them; And they shall increase as they once increased”.
Day 264 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 38th week. It is a day of the compassionate intervention of God. Every week is like a journey through the Bible having an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and expresses 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 fifth day of the week is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the first nine books of the New Testament. The first 9 books of the NT are about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church. The books are about the love and grace of God granting salvation and justification to humanity by faith. This is a day to enter experientially into the New Testament side of the week. It is a day of answers to prayers, fulfillment of prophecies, and delivery of promises. The New Testament side is the spiritual and deeper side. The New Testament side is the side of manifestation. The old has passed away; and the new has begun. Dreams for the week are expected to begin to come to pass and promises should be fulfilled. Expect deliverance and divine intervention.
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 38th week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God is with us) has taken 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, raise your voice and decree from the gates against devastations, loss of inhabitants or loss of habitations. Decree against losses – of health, lives, and possessions. Decree, today, that the waters shall be responsible and not waste lives or cause devastations. Happy 264th day!
BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born on this day for a reason. This is your day to be born. Ecclesiastes 3 says there is a time to be born. You were born for the needs of this day. Every day has its problems and answers. The gate of each day opens to welcome people it needs and closes to send off people it doesn’t need. You came as an answer to the problems. This is a day of full expression of life – not in self-indulgence but for glorifying God. The kingdom of darkness releases, on this day, forces that limit full expression of life – disobedience, curses, destruction, destitution, hunger, disease, death. You are set against anything that works against full expression of life. The kingdom of darkness will fight to make you an agent or victim of forces that hinder full expression of life. That is the reason those who are born o deliver others from poverty may struggle with poverty. Those who are born to heal the sick may struggle with sickness. God wants you to have victory over enemies warring against full expression of life. Today, give thanks to God for your life and position yourself to be the deliverer you were born to be. Happy birthday!
