Welcome to the 289th day of the year! Day 289 is the second day of the 42nd week; the second day of the seventh week in the sixth 49 days; the 44th day in the sixth seven weeks of the year. This is both a second season day and a 44th season day. It is both a book of Exodus day and a book of Acts day. Day 289 is October 16 in a clear year and October 15 in a leap year. It is the 16th day of the tenth month.
The Bible patterns for understanding the 288th day are
The second day of creation narrative
The second book and chapters of the Bible
The 44th book and chapters of the Bible
The second three chapters (4-–6) of the 42nd book of the Bible.
Day 289 is a second day of creation day in the 42nd week. The second season is for making way where is no way. On the second day of creation, God created space by releasing the firmament to divide the bloc of waters and made a way where there was s no way. Without the work of the second day of creation, there would be no space for anything else to exist. God works against space-blockers in second seasons. Day 282 is for dismantling space-blockers.
The second book of the Bible, Exodus, bears witness to the truth that God works against oppressive monopolies in the second season. The book of Exodus opens with oppression and quest for freedom. In Exodus, Israel was in slavery in Egypt. The entire nation groaned under Egyptian bondage. They prayed and cried to God; and through Moses, God broke the strength of Pharaoh and Egypt; and delivered Israel from bondage of 400 years. God made a way for His people where there was no way. The second chapters of the Bible also bear witness that God sends help (through prayer, wisdom, prophets, and human connections) to make a way where there is none.
Day 289 is a Luke 5-8 day in the 42nd week. The second four chapters of the 42nd book of the Bible is applicable to the second day of the 42nd week. In this section of the 42nd book, Jesus made way for the afflicted and weak. In Luke 4, Jesus was tempted in the wilderness and angels were there to minister to Him. After the temptation, He returned to Galilee in the power of the Holy Spirit and began His ministry preaching, teaching, healing, and casting out demons. The miraculous works of provision and healing continued in the fifth chapter. Miracles continued in the sixth chapter Jesus where also taught, named His disciples, and defended the weak against those intimidating them. He defended eating out and receiving healing on the Sabbath. Day 289 is for giving help to the weak. It is for defeating oppressors and delivering the oppressed.
Day 289 is a Book of Acts day in the sixth 49 days. The 44th book of the Bible (Acts) is applicable to the 44th day in the sixth 49 days of the year. In the book of Acts, Israel and Rome labored to envelope and contain the church of Jesus Christ. Believers were persecuted and often thrown into prison for preaching Jesus Christ. However, they were always delivered from prison in answer to prayers. Of the about 66 verses where the word ‘prison’ is used in the New Testament, 29 of them is in the book of Acts. In this book, through prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit, God made way for the church where there was no way. Heaven will open ‘prisons’ for God’s people and their stuffs this 289th day of the year.
Day 289 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 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 second day of the week is the second day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the second 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the second 10 books of the Bible, God wanted the kings of Israel to trust Him and lead the nation in the same direction. Beginning with Solomon, the kings of Israel began to patronize Idols. Idol worship became official in the northern kingdom following the split. Judah followed. Prophets rose in this season to call the nation back to God. Eventually, the two kingdoms went into captivity – the north fell to Assyria; and the south to the Babylonians. The Jews did return from captivity after 70 years. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) show that loss of faith in God is prelude to the loss of all things in the second season; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph in the second season by the power and wisdom of God no matter what happens.
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, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy against evil controlling powers and overthrow them by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, pray to God and trust the Holy Spirit make a way for you where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him. Happy Day 289!
