Welcome to the 299th day of the year. Day 299 is the fifth day of the 43rd week; the fifth day of the first week in the seventh seven weeks of the year; the fifth day in the seventh 49 days of the year. It is October 26 in a clear year and October 25 in a leap year.
The Bible patterns for understanding the 299th day are
The fifth day of creation narrative
The fifth book and chapters of the Bible
The fifth 3 chapters (13-15) of the 43rd book of the Bible.
Day 299 is a fifth day of creation day in the 43rd week. On the fifth day of creation, God made moving living creatures. He made living creatures that could fly or swim. By that He meant that the fifth season should be a season freedom and movement; not a season to be held down by anything – disease, sickness, or evil spirits. When God made living creatures on the fifth day, He made the fish to swim deep in waters; and made the birds to fly across the firmament; above the waters and above the earth. By that, He meant it is a season to choose to go up or go down. The life of the creatures of the fifth day is in their mouth. Fish open their mouths in water. They breathe with the mouth and gills. Birds often announce their presence through chirping. They cannot keep quiet. The fifth season is a time to open your mouth and speak. Although God began the creation of flesh and blood on the fifth day, He intended that success in the fifth season would come through walking in the spirit. This is a season when men must raise their spirits above the flesh as the birds fly above the earth and the waters. He intended the season to be one of balance between the Heaven and earth. Men miss the plan of God in the fifth season through flesh-mindedness; and setting themselves against what is of God because they are focusing on the appearance of things. Day 299 is a day of alignment and balance; not of conflict between flesh and spirit, Heaven and earth, God and man. It is a season to walk in the spirit instead of walking in the flesh.
Day 299 is a book of Deuteronomy day in the seventh 49 days of the year. Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible; and is applicable to the fifth day of the 43rd week; or the fifth day in the seventh 7 seven weeks of the year. In the fifth book of the Bible, Deuteronomy, God said to Israel, “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, [16] in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. [19] I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live” (Deuteronomy 30:15-16,19). Day 299 is a day of choosing what you want – through obedience or disobedience – not a day of waiting for things to happen. The fifth season is a season of options and choices. It is also a day of moving from death to life. Deuteronomy 30:11-14 says, “For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. [12] It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ [13] Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ [14] But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it”.
The fifth chapter of the 43rd book of the Bible is also applicable to Day 299 – the fifth day of the 43rd week of the year. The 47-verse fifth chapter of John (the 43rd book of the Bible) is a good illustration of the nature of the fifth day of the 43rd week. In this chapter, Jesus healed a sick man among multitudes of sick people in a pool waiting for a mysterious stirring of the pool that could bring healing to first person to enter the stirred pool. The Jews persecuted Jesus for healing the man on the Sabbath. Jesus defended Himself by saying He did what He saw the Father do. The Jews were further angered by the ‘blasphemous’ that God was His Father. To them, He was claiming equality with God by calling Himself Son of God. What can we learn from the fifth chapter of John that is applicable to the fifth day of the 43rd week?
1. It is a day of life, freedom, and movement; not of disease and impotence or lying down hopelessly. When Jesus came to the pool at Bethesda, He saw a multitude of people held down with different kinds of diseases and waiting the get into the seasonally stirred pool and be healed. The man He healed had been in that condition for 38 years. That’s a long time to be held down by anything.
2. It is a day of choices. When Jesus met the man He healed at the pool, He asked him, “Do you want to be made well?” What you get in the fifth season is your choice; there are no limitations. It is a season to dare the heights and the depths.
3. It is a day of revival, recovery, restoration of life, and resurrection, by obedience to commands. Jesus gave the man a command to rise up, take up his bed, and walk. He obeyed the command and got well. Jesus also said the dead would hear His Voice and live. The fifth season is a season of life and that life is in heeding the the Word or the Voice of God.
4. It is a day of walking in the spirit. Those who persecuted Him for healing on the Sabbath were in the flesh. Those who criticized Him for calling God His Father were in the flesh. This is day of spiritual healing towards restoration and conformity to the image of God.
Day 299 is a John 13-15 day. The fifth three chapters of the 43rd book of the Bible are applicable to the fifth day of the 43rd week; and they reveal that obedience to commands are key to success in a fifth season like Day 299. Besides other things that Jesus did or said in these three chapters, He emphasized obedience to His commandments. In John 13:34-35, Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. [35] By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” In John 14:15-18,21, Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- [17] the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. [18] I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. [21] He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” In John 15:10-17, Jesus said, “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. [11] “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. [12] This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. [13] Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. [14] You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. [15] No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. [16] You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. [17] These things I command you, that you love one another”. Day 299 is a day of success through obedience to God and legitimate authority.
Day 299 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 43rd 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 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 33rd week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God is with us) takes 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. Day 299 is a day of full expression of life; but it must be within the confines of God’s word. All you need or desire today is . available through obedience to the Word that would come to you today. Happy Day 299!

You were born on this day as part of the Creator’s solution to problems associated with this day. You were born to lead people into full expression of life. You were born to war against anything that limits full expression of life – disease, poverty, barrenness, death, oppression, bondage and persecution. You were born to free people to live the life they were born to live. This is clue to the battles you must fight in life. The evil one will work hard to afflict you with things that limit full expression of life. The evil one will want you to be a victim of things you were born to fight. The evil one will want to make a helper a victim of disease. The enemy will also want you to be an agent and channel of what you were created to destroy. The evil one will want to be a destoyer of lives instead of the deliverer you are. If you stay in alignment with God, you will not become a victim of the enemy and you cannot be deceived to serve a lower purpose with your life.
