Welcome to the 361st day of the year. Day 361 (362 in a leap year) is the fourth day of the 52nd week; and the 18th day in the last 22/23 days of the year. It is December 27 in a clear year and December 26 in a leap year.
Day 361 is a fourth season day; and has its pattern in the fourth day of creation, On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries to give light on the earth, to rule night and day, to divide between light and darkness, and to be for seasons. Have you ever wondered why God still needed to make the luminaries (sun, moon, and stars) after He had said “Let the be light” on the first day of creation? It seems the creation of the fourth day was a reinforcement of what God did on the first day. If God reinforced light on the fourth day, it must be to forestall a reinforcement or return of darkness. The fourth season is like a fight-back season for darkness. That is the reason the 4th book and chapters of Bible are about the adversary and adversities. Temptations and trials come in the fourth season. It would seem that men have their greatest struggles and failures in the fourth season. Men also have their greatest victories in the fourth season. Day 361 is for the dominion of light over darkness. It is a day of demonstrating the power of light over darkness; and the power of heat over cold. Day 361 is a day of living out the light and heat in you.
Day 361 is a book of Numbers day in the 52nd week. The book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Bible and is applicable to this fourth-season day. Israel’s greatest wilderness battles and victories are recorded in this book; including Israel’s momentous victory against Sihon, king of the Amorites; and Og king of Bashan. Israel’s greatest wilderness failures are also recorded in this book. Most of those who came out of Egypt perished in the wilderness in the book of Numbers. The book of Numbers is Israel’s book of temptations in the wilderness. You should focus on the triumphs and not the failures. Day 361 is for triumphing over trials and temptations. The fourth season may be a season of tests and trials but it is also for making history. Great and unprecedented things happen in the fourth season. Make history today by triumphing over circumstances as Joshua and Caleb did in the fourth book of the Bible.
Day 361 is a book of Job day in the last 22/23 days of the year. Job is the 18th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 18th day in the last 22/23 days of the year. The book of Job is about greatness, misfortune, and restoration. Job was the greatest and wealthiest of the men of the East. He was also blameless before God. He was the holiest man of his time. Then Satan attacked his family, business, health, and relationships. Afterwards, God healed Job and restored his fortunes and glory. Day 361 is a day of triumph. It is a day of victory and testimonies.
Day 361 is a First-Thessalonians-chapter-four day. First Thessalonians is the 52nd book of the Bible; and the fourth chapter of the 52nd book is applicable to the fourth day of the 52nd week. In the fourth chapter of First Thessalonians, Paul wrote to enlighten and give direction to the saints. Ignorance is an expression of darkness. Paul wrote of the resurrection of the dead in Christ – at the coming of the Lord and catching away of the saints; and also calls the believers to walk worthy of the Lord. The fourth chapter of First Thessalonians calls believers to shine as light in the world by eschewing ungodliness and working diligently on their jobs. We shine as light by what we know and by how we live.
Day 361 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 52nd 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 also 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. Day 361 is a day of light shining against darkness. It is not a day of sorrow and gloominess. Today, turn to the light in God’s word and enlighten yourself; then, release the light in you, by the way you live, to dispel the darkness of unbelief, confusion, and fear, around you. Stand against the darkness of death, sorrowing, and mourning. Happy 361st day.
