Day 305: The Mystery of November 1

Day 305 is the fourth day of the 44th week, the fourth day of the second week in the seventh 49 days; the eleventh day in the seventh seven weeks of the year. It is November 1 in a clear year and October 31 in a leap year.

The Bible patterns for understanding the 305th day are 

The 4th day of creation narrative

The fourth book and chapters of the Bible

The fourth 4 chapters of the 44th book of the Bible

The 11th book and chapters of the Bible.

Day 305 is the FIRST DAY OF THE ELEVENTH MONTH: This is a day to listen to, and receive, what the Lord has to say. Deuteronomy 1:3 says, “Now it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him as commandments to them”,

Day 305 is a fourth day of creation day in the 44th week of the year. The act of God on the fourth day of creation is the key to understanding a fourth season. God created the luminaries on the fourth day. He made them to be for light, to be for seasons, to divide the night from the day, to rule over the day and night,  God made luminaries on the fourth day of creation to show us that the fourth season is when darkness seeks to overtake people – through deception, intimidation, and attacks. With lights of the fourth season (the Word, the Spirit, and Wise Counsel), they would be guided through the season. 

Day 305 is a book of Numbers day in the 44th week. Israel faced several discouraging moments in the fourth book of the Bible. Those were all attempts of the kingdom of darkness to overthrow their faith and frustrate God’s plan for their lives. All they needed was to trust God and stand on His Word. Unfortunately, only very few did. 

Day 305 is a book of First Kings day in the seventh seven weeks of the year. The eleventh book of the Bible opened with Solomon as king. He built the temple and had fantastic administration. In the days of Solomon, Israel did well economically and became a tourist attraction in their world. Israel reached the peak and also began to decline in this book. In the eleventh book of the Bible, the nation split into two parts; idolatrous kings arose with very strong alliances to blackout the worship of the True God in Israel. Priests and prophets were silenced. The prophets rose to confront and overthrow the ungodly kings and their idols. Many prophets and priests were cowed and reduced to beggars with the exception of a few. The likes of Elijah and Micaiah could not be bought. Unprecedented things happened in this book. Elijah seized rain for 42 months, raised a dead child back to life, and prayed down fire from heaven. He gave the prophetic word that brought down the house of Ahab. Day 305 is a time to show that God is sovereign and supreme.

Day 305 is Acts 4 day in the 44th week. Since the 44th week is a Book of Acts of the Apostles week, the fourth chapter of the 44th book of the Bible could be a good illustrative pattern for understanding the nature of the fourth day of the 44th week. In Acts 4, the authorities, angered by their preaching, which followed the healing of the lame man, arrested the apostles and put them in custody till the following day. Many believed the gospel and were added to the church. The following day, they sat and questioned them about the power or name behind the healing of the lame man. That gave them more opportunity to preach Jesus. Unable to punish them for the good work they did on a lame man, they warned and threatened them to stop preaching Jesus and His resurrection. The apostles told the council, clearly, that they cannot stop speaking about what they had seen and heard. They did not bow to that intimidation. Remember that the 44th week is for clash of powers. The Superior Power cannot bow to the lesser power.

When they were released, they returned and reported to their own company. They cried out to God against the threats of the authorities and for boldness to preach the gospel; with confirming signs and wonders. The building where they gathered to pray shook and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and preached the word of God with boldness. The believers also walked sacrificial love.

Day 305 is Acts13-16 day. The fourth 4 chapters of the 44th book of the Bible are applicable to the fourth day of the 44th week of the year. As the fourth day is the middle of the week, these fourth 4 chapters are at the center of the book. They are also the turning point section laying the foundation for the remainder of the book. Paul and Barnabas began their first missionary journeys to gentile lands at this point. They faced troubles and persecutions and also experienced the miracle-working power of God. Saul of Tarsus became Paul in this section. The question of admitting gentiles into the church was also resolved here. The second missionary journey began here also. Mark, Timothy, and Titus came in here. Paul’s first experience of imprisonment and miraculous deliverance is recorded in the 16th chapter. Day 305 is a turning point in the 44th week. This is a day to triumph over deception and subtle powers of darkness.

Day 305 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 44th week. Every week is like 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 fourth day of the week is the day closing the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the last nine books of the Old Testament. Today is the bridge-day leading to the New Testament side of the week. The books of ‘the minor prophets’ are part of the last 9 books of the O.T. They are about judgment and promises of restoration. Today is a day of the dominion of the Voice of God in the nations. Let His Voice dominate in your life.

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 downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, raise your voice against wickedness and oppression wherever it is found. Prophesy! Prophesy!! Prophesy!!! Today, also pray to be more sensitive in the spirit; to pick up necessary signals that would help you triumph over the enemy and keep darkness away. Today, pray to be delivered from falling into temptation. Pray to be preoccupied with the person of God; and to be focused on His mandate and His revealed purpose for your life. Be careful to weigh every decision in light of God’s purpose for your life; and God’s purpose for the time. Today, proclaim an end to woes and declare the dawn of a new day. Today, do not allow did tractions to sway you; and do not bow to intimidation. Stand by your just convictions and pray to God. Power belongs to Him. Let no circumstance intimidate or discourage you. Happy 305th day!
