Welcome to the 317th day of the year! Day 317 is the second day of the 46th week; the second of the fourth week in the seventh seven weeks of the year; the 23rd day in the seventh 49 days of the year. It is November 13 in a clear year and November 12 in a leap year.
The Bible patterns for understanding the 317th day are
The second day of creation narrative
The second book and chapters of the Bible
The second 2 chapters of the 46th book of the Bible
The 23rd book and chapters of the Bible.
Day 317 is a second day of creation day in the 46th week of the year. It is the second day in the 46th week. On the second day of creation, God began to battle the waters by creating the firmament on the second day. That’s when space was created. The second season is for thwarting monopolies. The second season is for releasing the help to create space and make way where there is none. It is a season of quests for freedom.
Day 317 is a book of Exodus day in the 46th week of the year. The book of Exodus is about a nation of twelve tribes uniting in their quest for freedom. The tribes submerged their differences and fought a common foe and for a common cause. In Exodus, God worked through Moses to mobilize and deliver Israel from bondage. In First Corinthians, God worked through the Holy Spirit in the Apostles to restore a broken and divided community.
Day 317 is a book of Isaiah day in the seventh seven weeks of the year. The book of Isaiah is the 23rd book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 23rd day in the the seventh 7 weeks of the year. Isaiah is the Bible in the Bible. It is a 66-chapter book in a 66-book Bible. It is a prophetic compression of the 66 books of the Bible into 66 chapters of a book. Every chapter of Isaiah is a prophetic summary of the Bible that corresponds to it. Isaiah worked with the kings. He spoke in the name of the Lord to bring Judah and her kings under God; as well as resist the oppressive enemy-nations and kings. The 23rd book of the Bible teaches that God’s people must work together, kings and prophets must work together, and God’s people must work together with God to succeed.
Day 317 is a First Corinthians 4-6 day in the 46th week. The second 3 chapters of the 46th book give an illustrative pattern for the second day of the 46th week. In these chapters, Paul confronted the Corinthians for lining up behind persons of gifted leaders instead of Jesus Christ. He said they must see the ministers as co-laborers with God. He pulled down the carnal mindset causing divisions and destroying the work of God. He called the church God’s building and God’s field. God must be the focus. Day 317 is for dealing with obstacles to unity and agreement. The 2nd two chapters of First Corinthians reveal that the key to success is on this day is focusing on the big picture (understanding what God is doing) and discerning your part and the part of others in the operation or project.
Paul also pointed out inappropriate behaviors among God’s people. He spoke out against sexual immorality in the church; and against believers dragging one another to court before unbelievers. He said the body of the believer is the temple of the Holy Spirit and should not be used for sexual immorality. The second day of the 46th week is for trustworthy people taking responsibility for others – not for immoral self -pleasers. Day 317 is a day to make sacrifices for the good of others.
On the second day of creation, God used the firmament to bring help. In the book of Exodus, He used Moses and the prophetic word to bring help. In the 23rd book of the Bible, prayer and prophecy were the monopoly-breakers. In the second two chapters of the 46th book of the Bible, Paul and Apollos are the helpers.
.Day 317 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 46th 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, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him.!Today, do not get distracted from the goal of restoring wholeness. Know who you are fighting, what you are fighting, and those who are helping you to fight. Division is the result of removing your eyes from the goal. Pray and expect God to make a way – towards wholeness – where there is none. Happy 317th day.
BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason. It is calculated and not accidental. This second day of the 46th week was chosen for your arrival into the world because the problems associated with the day matches with answers you are endowed with. You were born to be a way-maker, freedom fighter and monopoly breaker because this is a day when space blockers and evil monopolies go to work. You were born to fight for the oppressed as Moses did in the second chapter of the second book of the Bible. How you do it depends on your passion and field of endeavour. This also explains the two kinds of battle you face. Since nature has set you against oppressive monopolies, the evil one will want you to become a victim of oppression so you will never be able to raise your head. The other thing the evil one will do is to lure you to oppression and wickedness by pointing you to the power and riches of the oppressor. Refuse to be lured. You are a bondage breaker and deliverer – not an oppressor. You were born to set people free – not to bully them. You were born to be a way- maker and not a space blocker. Do not give room to the evil one to pervert your ordination. To succeed in your ordination, you need to align with the Creator and Way-Maker of the Universe and fight with His wisdom and Strength. Otherwise, the problems of humanity will wear you out. Today, give thanks to God for your life and pray for grace and wisdom to stand strong in your ordination. Happy birthday!
