Welcome to the 347th day of the year. Day 347 is the fourth day of the 50th week; the fourth day of the last 22/23 days of the year. It is December 13 in a clear year and December 12 in a leap year.
The Bible patterns for understanding the 347th day are
The fourth day of creation narrative
The fourth book and chapters of the Bible
The fourth chapter of the 50th book of the Bible
The last 9 books of the Old Testament.
Day 347 is a fourth-day of creation day in the 50th week. On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries – the sun, the moon, and the stars. The luminaries were intended to
1. Be for light on the earth
2. Be for seasons
3. Rule the day and the night
4. Divide the light from darkness, and day from night.
Although God spoke light into manifestation on the first day, He returned to speak about light on the fourth day. Why did God make luminaries on the fourth day after the work of the first day? The fourth season is a fight-back season is for darkness and confusion. Darkness confuses. So, the fourth season is for keeping darkness, confusion, and stumbling away. It’s the season of final victory over darkness.
Day 347 is a book of Numbers day in the 50th week. The book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Bible. Israel suffered terrible disasters in this book because of poor mental attitudes – rebellion, complaining, fear, and unbelief. Majority of Israelites that came out of Egypt didn’t make it beyond the wilderness in the book of Numbers. Israel also tasted God’s faithfulness and the fruit of the Land in the book of Numbers. Many perished in the wilderness but a remnant made it to the promised land. Of those who came out of Egypt, the book of Numbers records that only Joshua and Caleb made it to the Promised Land.
Day 347 is also a book of Numbers day in the last 22/23 days of the year. The last 22/23 days of the year is a book of Ruth season. In the book of Ruth, Elimelech came into Moab with his wife, Naomi, and two sons. Their sons, Mahlon and Chilion married girls from the land of Moab; Ruth and Orpah. Of this family of six, only Naomi (representing the old generation) and Ruth (representing the new generation) made it to Judah in the time of harvest.
Day 347 is a Philippians 4:1-8 day in the 50th week.. The fourth chapter of Philippians is about the sufficiency of God for joy, answers to prayers, peace, supply of strength and all needs. It is a call to peace, love, joy, faith, and contentment in God.
It is a call to guard your mind and watch your thoughts.
Philippians 4:8 says “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things”.
The enemy attacks the mind, mostly, in the fourth season, to cause mental darkness, confusion, and self-induced misery. The peace of God guards the mind (Philippians 4:7) if we turn our needs and requests over to God – by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Today, protect your mind from satanic attacks. Day 347 is for illuminating the mind with the counsel of God.
Day 347 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 50th 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. Happy 347th day!
