PRAYING INTO THE 21ST WEEK OF THE YEAR (MAY 21 – 27)

A. PROLOGUE

Each year, a new week begins on the day the year began. If the year started on a Saturday, every Saturday in that year would be the beginning of a new week. May 21 is the beginning of the 21st week in every clear year.

Here are sone 9 things from the 21st book and of the Bible that we can bring before the Lord God concerning this 21st week: 

1. It is a time to fulfill promises, realize dreams and receive long awaited expectations.

Genesis 21:1-2 says, “And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him”. The birth of Isaac (the 21st from Adam) is recorded in Genesis 21. The tribe of Levi received their inheritance in Joshua 21. In the same chapter, (verses 43-45}, it is recorded that God fulfilled to Israel the promise of land He made to their fathers. Joshua 21:43-45 says, “So the LORD gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it. [44] The LORD gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. [45] Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass”.

Psalm 21 is about a king whose desires the Lord had granted. Psalm 21:1-4,6-7 says, “The king shall have joy in Your strength, O LORD; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! [2] You have given him his heart’s desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [3] For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head. [4] He asked life from You, and You gave it to him- Length of days forever and ever. [6] For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence. [7] For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved”.

Revelation 21 records the fulfillment of the promise of a new heaven and a new earth, the manifestation of the tabernacle of God on earth, and the wiping away of tears. This is also applicable to the 21st century. The 21st century is a century of dreams coming true. May this week be,, for God’s people in the nations, a season of receiving promises and realizing dreams.

2. It is a season for the Kings of kings to tame proud and arrogant kings with the rod of judgment.

In First Kings 21, Elijah stepped in to confront and curse Ahab and his house – over the murder of Naboth. In Second Kings 21, judgment came upon Manasseh and Judah because of the sins and wickedness of Manasseh. In First Chronicles 21, Israel came under a plague for David’s wrong step in numbering Israel. In Second Chronicles 21, Jehoram, king of Judah was judged and cursed for killing his six brothers and other prince’s of Judah to secure his throne. The 21st chapters of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel are judgments decreed on nations. Heaven reacts against human pride and arrogance in the 21st season.

Psalm 21:8-13 says, “Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You. [9] You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them. [10] Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. [11] For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform. [12] Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces. [13] Be exalted, O LORD, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.”

3. It is a season to confront and bring down giant enemies . It is a season to triumph over strong resistance.

Israel began to possess the land of her enemies, in Numbers 21, by defeating Og, Sihon, and the King of Arad. Those three kings denied them access on their way to Canaan. David’s men slew four giants in 2 Samuel 21: 15-22). This week, may the Lord give you victory over giants and strong enemies.  This week, may the Lord grant you access to things, places, and people you desire. May the places the enemy had sealed be opened for you.

4. This is a season of wells of water and refreshing.

Water in a bottle cannot suffice in this season. In Genesis 21, God opened the eyes of Hagar to a well of water from which she and her thirsty and dehydrating son drank when they ran out of water. In the same chapter, Abraham rebuked Abimelech for the wells his servants seized. This is the time to recover the wells the world has seized. In Numbers 21, Israel came to “…Beer, which is the well where the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.” Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well! All of you sing to it- The well the leaders sank, Dug by the nation’s nobles, By the lawgiver, with their staves” (Numbers 21:16-18).

4. This is a season of recovery and restoration,

It is a time of recovery and rehabilitation. In Judges 21, Israel came together at Shiloh to solve the problem of finding wives for the men of Benjamin. That step saved the tribe of Benjamin. In First Chronicles 21, David recovered, from Araunah (Ornan), a holy ground (Moriah) that had become a threshing floor. In Matthew 21, Jesus cleansed and restored the temple. The Lord of the Vineyard also recovered his vineyard from wicked tenants and vine dressers. This week, may the Lord grant you recoveries and cause rehabilitation.

5. It is the season of the Bride 

Wives (women) are great movers in the 21st season. God needs them in place at this time. The enemy fights to harm them, get them out, or capture their minds in this season. About one-third of the 21st chapters of the Bible draw attention to wives or women. This has implications in both the natural and spiritual realms. In Genesis 21, Sarah bore a son to Abraham. Sarah also initiated the move to send Hagar and Ishmael away. A wife was found for Ishmael in this chapter also. Exodus 21 talks about the slave-wife. Leviticus 21 discusses the wife of the priest. Deuteronomy 21 talks about the unloved first wife. In Judges 21, Israel sought wives for the men of Benjamin. In Second Samuel 21, Rizpah the wife of Saul (mother of the sons of Saul murdered to appease the Gibeonites) is mentioned. In First Kings 21, Jezebel, the wife of Ahab, got him the vineyard he desired at the expense of Naboth. Proverbs 21 talks about the angry wife (woman). The 21st book of the Bible, Ecclesiastes, says a man should enjoy life with the wife of his youth. Revelation 21 is about the wife of the Lamb. The 21st President of the United States, Chester Arthur, lost his wife, Nell, the year before he was inaugurated Vice President and later President in 1881 His sister, Mary McElroy, became White House hostess and unofficial First Lady. In the 21st seven years of the United States (1916-1923), when Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President, suffered a stroke (1919), his wife, Edith, whom he married in 1915 following the death of his first wife (Ellen) in 1914, managed the President’s office and played a prominent role in Woodrow’s presidency.

6. It is a season of redirection – from returning to the familiar place we used to be, to move on to new grounds we’ve never been to.

In John 21, Peter and the other disciples wanted to return to fishing but Jesus redirected Peter to shepherding. In Acts 21, Paul returned to Jerusalem for the Feast of Pentecost. The Jews wanted to kill him; but God delivered him and began to make way to take him to Rome.

7. It is a season of finding answers to pressing problems 

In the 21st book of the Bible (Ecclesiastes), the Preacher sought answers to tough questions concerning life and existence. In Numbers 21, God gave Moses the answer to the fiery serpents killing Israelites. In Second Samuel 21, David found the solution to three-year famine that devastated Israel. In First Chronicles 21, Prophet Gad showed David how to end the plague that followed his ill-advised census. This week, let us trust God to find answers to things bothering our world – The Lord will show His people the answer to plagues of death in the death of Christ – as in Numbers 21 and Second Chronicles 21; answer to the refreshing needs of men as He did to Hagar and Ishmael; answers to environmental and climatic problems – as in Second Samuel 21; answers to the endless thirst and hunger of man’s heart as in the book of Ecclesiastes.

8. It is a season of laughter and “no more pain or crying”

In Genesis 21, Sarah said God had made her laugh; and in Revelation 21, God said “there shall be no more crying or pain”. The 21st book and chapters indicate that the spirit of death moves about in the 21st season; but Revelation 21:4 invites us to declare that “…God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” The deaths we are witnessing in the 21st century had been foreshadowed by the 21st book and chapters of the Bible; and they are to drive us to the Fountain of Life to press for the answer that will lead to the defeat of the last enemy. Gods people are to proclaim “no more death” by the force of truth.

9. This is a Psalm 141 – 147 week. Week 21 consists of 141st – 147th days of the year. The 21st seven psalms begin with desperate cries to God for protection and deliverance from enemies and the wicked; and they are guiding light for Days 141-147 in the year. They provide a pattern for prayers in this week.

B. PRAYERS POINTS

1. Pray for refreshing news and encounters this week. Ask the Lord to open our eyes to wells of refreshing water instead of “water in a bottle” in our communities, nations, and in our walk with him.

2. Pray that God’s interests on earth be recovered from unfaithful caretakers as in Matthew 21. Pray for the recovery of the holy grounds of faith and wells of living water lost to the world as in Genesis 21 and First Chronicles 21. Pray for the recovery and restoration of the temple and house of God as in Matthew 21

3. Pray that your heart is sensitive to know when to move from the unproductive comfort zones. Pray that the church in our nation will hear the Voice of God concerning where we should be and where we should move from. 

4. Pray that the Lord will deliver His people from troubles, pain, and tears, this week. Pray against situations that cause (large scale) mourning. Help us, O Lord, against those who hate us and persecute us.  Frustrate the counsel and schemes of the wicked against your people as promised in Psalm 21:  8-13

5. Pray that doors will keep opening in for the gospel in places and nations where access to truth is barred or restricted.

6. Pray that this week will end with songs and praises in the mouths of God’s people.

7. Pray for the protection of wives and mothers in families from satanic attack and manipulation. Pray for strength and wisdom to occupy their places in their families and communities. Pray the same for the Bride of Christ in the nations.

C. PROMISE:
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away'”  (Revelation 21:4 NKJV)

Happy 21st week!

The Sixth 49 Years of the United States (Part 2)

By
Nkem Okemiri

The United States began the journey into her critical sixth 49 years on July 4, 2021 There are five Biblical pattern for understanding the sixth 49 years of the United States. They are

1) the sixth day of creation narrative.

2) the sixth book of the Bible, Joshua

3) the sixth chapters of the Bible;

4) the sixth seven books of the Bible, and

5), the sixth seven chapters of the Bible.

The sixth book of the Bible, the sixth chapters of the Bible, the sixth seven books of the Bible, and the sixth seven chapters of the Bible, illustrate what the sixth day of creation narrative reveals about the sixth season.

A. THE SIXTH DAY OF CREATION

There are six things to to take to heart about the sixth 49 years of the United States. They are drawn from the narrative of the sixth day of creation.

1. Ungodliness will thrive at the beginning. God created the beasts, cattle, and creeping things first. Those three categories of creatures represent ungodliness that will pervades the land at the beginning of the sixth 49 years. The beasts represent cruelty or wickedness. The cattle signify foolishness and mediocrity. The creeping things represent craftiness and deception.

2. The bearers of the image of God will arise in the land. After God created the animals, He made man in His image and after His likeness. Wickedness and ungodliness will not occupy the scene for a long a long time. God is raising a generation of godly believers who bear the image of God and will manifest it through righteousness, wisdom, and discernment. The bearers of the image are believers in Christ who are strong on the revelation of their identity and purpose in God. They know who they are in God. They know what it means to be born again. They know what it means to be called sons of God. They know they are heirs of God abs joint-heurs with Jesus Christ.God reacts against ungodliness in the sixth season because He made man in His image and likeness on the sixth day. He seeks His image in man in every sixth season. So, He blesses and backs up the godly in the sixth season and reacts against ungodliness in the sixth season. The sixth book of the Bible and the sixth chapters of the Bible bear witness to this. Heaven will react against wickedness and ungodliness in the United States in her sixth 49 years. The first 28 years of this season is critical; but the first 7 years is very critical. A realignment is very necessary. When God judges people in the sixth season, he takes away their power over the land; and gives their land and inheritance to others. He gave only Noah the right to the earth in Genesis 6. He gave Israel right to take over the land of the Amorites in the sixth book of the Bible. In the sixth 49 years of the United Kingdom, the empire shrunk through decolonization; and at the same time Islam began to possess Britain. In every sixth season, God wants man to know that the kingdom and the power and the glory belongs to Him forever. (Matthew 6:13).

3. The Male-female order in God’s plan for family and relationship will be upheld and consolidated. God made male and female man on the sixth day of creation and have them their distinct features. What God did on the sixth day is a pattern for all sixth seasons. The Gay doctrine of the LGBTQ will not triumph in the sixth 49 years. It is a violation of the pattern for the sixth season. God’s original order will prevail. It has already shown in a natural way in the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris;. Biden and Harris closed the curtain of the fifth 49 years and led the United States into her sxth 49 years. Biden-Harris administration express God’s make female order for the sixth season. This is a message to America. Something greater is on the way.

4. The bearers of the image of God will have dominion over those that do not bear the image of God. The tide is going to turn and the godly will have and exercise power in the land.

5. God will bless the godly with fruitfulness and multiplication. The godly will outnumber the ungodly in the land. That which cannot multiplywill not be blessed. The godly will have dominion; they will subdue and bear rule.

6. God will show His plan of sustenance to those who bear His image. God spoke to Adam on the sixth day concerning what he and the animals would eat. The sixth chapters of the Bible reveal that food is a critical issue in the sixth season.

B. THE SIXTH BOOK OF THE BIBLE

The sixth 49 days is a book of Joshua season. Joshua is the sixth book of the Bible. In this book, God gave Israel the Land He promised their Fathers. They overcame barriers and fought their enemies through divine guidance; and took possession of the land of the Canaanites. The sixth book of the Bible can be divided into seven seasons as they apply to the seven year seasons within the 49-year season.

Joshua 1-4 (2021 – 2028)

Joshua 5-8 (2028 – 2035)

Joshua 9-12 (2035 – 2042)

Joshua 13-15 (2042 – 2049)

Joshua 16-18 (2049 – 2056)

Joshua 19-21 (2056 – 2063)

Joshua 22-24 (2063 – 2070)

C. THE SIXTH SEVEN BOOKS OF THE BIBLE

The sixth 49 years of the United States is a sixth-seven-books-of-the-Bible season. The sixth seven books of the Bible are Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. In the sixth seven books of the Bible, the Old Testament ends and the New Testament begins. In the sixth 49 years of the nation, there will be transition from an Old Testament side to a New Testament side. The sixth seven books of the Bible are about judgment and mercy. May the mercy of God overtake judgment in this season. The Savior and Messiah appeared within the sixth seven book of the Bible to fulfill prophecies, manifest God among men, heal the sick, deliver the oppressed, raise the dead, and preach the good news. America will begin to experience a great and unprecedented visitation of God from the 28th year of her sixth 49 years. All the labors in this hour is preparatory to that season. God will be moving in diverse ways in the US in this season but ‘something’ is going to breakforth about midway in the sixth 49 years. This is how the sixth 7 books of the Bible apply to the seven year seasons within the 49-year season:

2021 – 2028: Zephaniah Season

2028 – 2035: Haggai Season

2035 – 2042: Zechariah Season

2042 – 2049: Malachi Season

2049 – 2056: Matthew Season

2056 – 2063: Mark Season

2063 – 2070: Luke Season..

D.. THE SIXTH 7 CHAPTERS OF THE BIBLE

There are six books of the Bible that have 36th – 42nd chapters. They are Genesis, Job, Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. They are the Big Six. The sixth 7 chapters of the offer a solid pattern for understanding the sixth 49 years. Each chapter represents a seven-year season because the sixth 49 years of a nation runs from the 36th seven years to the 42nd seven years of the nation. In the sixth 7 chapters, confusion and pain are at the beginning but hope rises from the 40th chapter. The preceding four chapters are narratives of pressure and pain. Comfort begins from the 40th chapter. So, the first 28 years is a mixture of pain and joy. The great turnaround begins at the 40th seven years (or the fifth seven years within the sixth 49 years. It’s in Genesis 40 that Joseph interpreted the dreams that paved way for him to interpret the ‘big dream’ of Pharaoh. Going through the sixth 49 years is like journeying from Genesis 36 to Genesis 42. The Margaret Thatcher season was a turning point in the sixth 49 years of the United Kingdom. She emerged as First female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the 28th year of the sixth 49 year and served about 11 years and 6 months. She was the longest serving UK Prime Minister of the 20th century

THE SIXTH 49 YEARS

The sixth 49 years of the United States can also be divided into 7 seven year seasons. The first 28 years will be years of intense spiritual battle meshed with interventions. The following 21 years will be years of salvation, deliverance, recovery, and restoration. The seven year seasons are as follows:

A. THE 36TH SEVEN YEARS

There are four Biblical patterns for understanding the mystery of the 36th seven years of the United States. The Biblical patterns are (1) the first day of creation; (2) the first four chapters of the sixth book of the Bible; (3) the 36th book of the Bible, and (4) the 36th chapters of the Bible.The 36th seven years of the United States (2021 -2028) is a first day of creation season, a Joshua 1-4 season, a book of Zephaniah season, and a 36th chapters of the Bible season. This season falls into the fourth seven years of the 21st century.

1. A FIRST DAY OF CREATION SEASON: A SEASON OF WAR AGAINST DARKNESS AND SEPARATION OF LIGHT FROM DARKNESS

The 36th seven years is the first prophetic week in the sixth 49 years. Since it is the first of the seven 7-year seasons, it is a first day of creation season. The first day of creation was a day of reaction against darkness. God released light to conquer darkness on the first day of creation. The 36th seven years of the United States is a season of war against darkness. Darkness deceives. It hides reality. It confuses, creates fear, and leads to errors. In the 36th seven years of the United States, Heaven is is going to release against the works of darkness in America. Truth will be revealed. This is a seven year season of “let there be light”. The true nature of people and things will be revealed. The third year of the 36th seven years (July 2023 – July 2024 is a year to watch. It will be a year of revelations. Secret things will come to light in that year.God also separated light from darkness on the first day of creation. That was when day and night began. In the 36th seven years, day and night will stand apart in America. There will be a clear division between children of day and children of the night. There will be no middle ground. Those of the night will go deeper into darkness and those of the day will shine brighter and brighter. This is a season of distinction between those who stand for light and those standing for darkness. Each part will get what belongs to them from the Creator-God.

2. A JOSHUA 1-4 SEASON; A SEASON OF DARING BREAKTHROUGH PREPARATION TO TAKE OVER THE PROMISED LAND

The first part of the sixth book of the Bible is applicable to the first seven years of America’s sixth 49 years. The 36th seven years (2021 – 2028) is a Joshua 1-4 season. How we understand or interpret this Joshua 1-4 season depends on how the United States stands with God in this season. Is America the invading Joshua company that God wants to give new territories; or does she represent the Amorites that God wants to judge and dispossess? Maybe it is both. It is important to determine on which side of the book of Joshua America is standing. In the first chapter, God prepared Joshua to lead the people. Is God preparing His favored enemies (like Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon) to move against America in this season; and they are in the planning stages? America needs to properly discern this season. In the second chapter, Joshua sent spies to Jericho to spy the land. The spies met Rahab and struck a deal with her. If America is going to be invaded, there’s going to be a ‘spying the land’ stage. The Rahabs are the discerning watchmen on the wall of America. Rahab lived on the wall. The Rahab company must discern what the Lord has determined to do and align with the Lord – not with America. That is how they can save themselves and their families and as many as can go where the scarlet cord is tied. Remember that Jeremiah told the King Zedekiah and all Judah to submit to Babylon and live. One of the lands God is giving America to possess in the sixth 49 years is Space – physical and digital. I believe this has spiritual implications too This is the reason for the awakened interests in space travel and Meta. Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk are like America’s spies sent to view ‘the land of promise’. Others are exploring digital space. In the third chapter of Joshua, Israel crossed the Jordan. The river stood still until all the people had crossed. Jordan stood between the wilderness and the Promised Land. Crossing the Jordan meant moving from the place of limitations and going over to the place of unlimited possibilities. It meant crossing over to place that must be conquered and possessed. Crossing the Jordan involves a mental shift to deal with whatever is the hindrance to getting to the other side. Crossing the Jordan is weaning from dependence to responsibility. For any force planning to invade America, there’s a Jordan to cross. They need a miracle to succeed. That is the third phase of their preparation. The fourth chapter of Joshua is the memorial chapter. There, Israel took 12 stones from Jordan to make a memorial heap of victory and unity. The 36th seven years are years of preparation for battle. The invader must move closer. The one at the risk of invasion must build up defenses; and that includes seeking God.

3. A BOOK OF ZEPHANIAH SEASON; A SEASON OF SEEKING GOD AGAINST JUDGMENT

The book of Zephaniah is the 36th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 36th seven years of the United States. The 3-chapter book of Zephaniah shows four things that are applicable to 2021 – 2028 in America.

A. Judgment is coming (Zephaniah 1: 1-18; 3: 1-8). It is a time of visitation with death and economic distress. It is a season of devastation and desolation. It is a season of woes to the rebellious.

B. It is time to seek God, righteousness, and humility (Zephaniah 2: 1-3).

C. Those who rise against God’s people will be humiliated (Zephaniah 2: 4-15).

D. The remnant who trust God will be safe (Zephaniah 3: 9-20).

The 36th book of the Bible is a loud call to adjust to God.

HOW SHOULD WE LIVE?

1. Keep your eyes on the big picture. Understand God’s agenda for the 49 year season. Keep it in your prayers. Work towards it.

2. Understand the prophetic agenda for the present seven year season and pursue it zealously. God is procedural in His works.

3. Sensitize, mobilize, and prepare, your people concerning the Divine agenda.

4. Think long-term and invest in children and young people. We must work at preparing the younger generation for the Divine agenda.

The Sixth 49 Years of the United States (Part 1)

Every 4th of July, the United States celebrates Independence Day. Fourth of July 2021, the 245th independence anniversary, is a unique celebration day. Why? America has celebrated its kind only four times – in 1825, 1874, 1923, and 1972. What’s so special about 4th of July of those years; and what does it have to do with 4th of July 2021? Fourth of July 2021 is the end of America’s fifth 49 years; and the beginning of her sixth 49 years. Does that mean anything for the United States? Yes, and so much! Every 49-year season in the history of the United States is a unique prophetic season that expresses the Bible book that corresponds to it. Since 1776 the United States has gone through five major prophetic seasons expressing the first five books of the Bible

Look at this:

THE FIRST 49 YEARS (1776 – 1825): The first 49 years of the United States began with the birth of the nation by the Declaration of Independence in 1776; as Israel’s nationhood began, not with Abraham’s migration but, with the Passover. The story of the Pilgrim Fathers who arrived the New World in 1620 of Abraham in the book of Genesis. He left the land of his nativity by the command of heaven to a new land. As with Abraham and his descendants in the book of Genesis, the first 49 years of the United States was a season of wandering – constitutional wandering – and searching for suitable ideological settlements. The first 49 years was a book of Genesis season in the United States. As God’s elect nation, Israel, was formed from 13 tribes (Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Gad, Naphtali, Asher, Benjamin, Ephraim, Manasseh) in the book of Genesis, the United States was formed from 13 original  colonies. The first 5 US Presidents (George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe served in this season. Two Vice Presidents died in this season under the 4th President, James Madison. 

2. THE SECOND 49 YEARS (1825 – 1874): The sixth President, John Quincy Adams, led the nation into her second 49 years  that began 4th of July 1825. The second and third Presidents in this seaon; on the day if the 50th anniversary in 1826. This was a Book of Exodus season in the United States. As Israel came out of Egyptian bondage in the second book of the Bible, that is how slavery was abolished in this second 49-year season. The Civil War happened in this season. Thirteen Presidents served in this season; 12 of them ended their terms in this season. Three Presidents died in office in this season – the 9th, 12th, and 16th. The first assassination and impeachment of a US President occurred in this season. A Vice President died in office in this season under the 14th President, Franklin Pierce. 

3. THE THIRD 49 YEARS (1874 – 1923): Ulysses Grant was President when the US entered her third 49 years on 4th of July 1874. This was a book of Leviticus season in the United States. The Keswick Convention of the Higher Life Movement, which began in 1875 had great impact and influence on North America. D. L. Moody was at the peak of his ministry in this season with Ira D. Sankey. The Pentecostal Revival and Awakening also kicked off in this season. Two presidents died in office in this season – the 20th and the 25th. The First World War (1914-1918) came in the last decade of this season. Four  Vice Presidents died in office in this season – under Ulysses Grant in 1875, under Grover Cleveland in 1885, under William McKinley in 1899, and under William Howard Taft in 1912.

4. THE FOURTH 49 YEARS (1923 – 1972): The 29th President, Warren G. Harding, led the nation into her fourth 49 years on 4th July 1923 but died 29 days later. This was a Book of Numbers season in the United States.  The Great Depression happened in this season. The Second World War (1939-1945) also happened in this season. America stood out as a World Power especially after WW2. The US was the first nation to use the atomic bomb. As in the book of Numbers, this was a season of war for the United States: WW2, Cold War, Cuba, Vietnam. She fought communism without and fought segregation. Three presidents died in office in this season: the 29th, the 32nd, and the 35th. Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. were also assassinated in this season. The Civil Rights Movement fought a decisive battle in this season. This was a season of evangelical and charismatic revivals. Great spiritual warriors, including Billy Graham, rose in this season. America also took state-sponsored prayers and Bible reading out of public schools in this season. This was the season of space exploration.  America went to the moon in this season in Neil Amstrong. Remember that God created the moon on the fourth day of creation. In this season, America went up so high but also came down so low. As with Israel in the fourth book of the Bible, he fourth 49 years of the United States was America’s wilderness season; her season of defeating Og and Sihon and her season of spying the promised land.

5. FIFTH 49 YEARS (1972 – 2021): Richard Nixon was President in 1972 when the US stepped into her fifth 49 years on July 4. This was a Deuteronomy season in the United States. Heaven intended it to be a season of preparation to inherit the world as the Promised Land. It was supposed to be a season of learning, making corrections, and taking precautions. God warned Israel to be careful to not forget Him because of prosperity. He said they would have curses if they turned from Him. Amid breakthroughs in many spheres, the United States has been drifting from her Judeo-Christian foundation and culture. In 1973, the first year of her fifth 49 years, she legalized abortion; and 42 years later, in 2015, she legalized same-sex marriage; and this generation of Americans have not known peace because of Deuteronomy-type curses. There has been the most presidential impeachment cases in this season – the 37th president, the 42nd president, and the 4th president.  Spatial, environmental, and weather curses – Apollo disaster, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, wild fires, insecurity issues – terrorism, violent shootings, health disasters, immigration disasters, racial hostilities, and ideological divides, have heightened in this season. From being the savior of the world, America is becoming the most threatened in the world. The fifth 49 years ends today, 4th of July, 2021. No U.S President or Vice President died in office since this season began. The last time a Vice President died office was in 1912, under the 27th President; and the last time a President died in office was 1963.

6. THE SIXTH 49 YEARS (2021 – 2070): The 46th President, Joe Biden, leads the US Into her sixth 49 years that will run from 4th of July 2021 to July 4, 2070.  The sixth 49 years of the United States is a book of Joshua season. What should America expect in this season? The sixth 49 years of the United States ought to be, for Americans, “the season we’ve been waiting for”. Let’s pray it is.

The 4th Seven Years of the 21st Century (2022 – 2028)

Something happened in the world on January 1, 2022; right after the last minute of the last night of 2021; but many people in our world do not know about it yet. It was not on the news – radio, television, or print media. Journalists did not report it because they did not know anything like that happened. Network of State Intelligence did not get signals about this. It did not trend on social media as there was no video or pictures to share. What was it? There was a silent announcement of a power-shift. “Heaven has taken over”. The seat of power has shifted to heaven. The rulers of this world do not know about this yet. They are in ca Sqdeep sleep and dreaming. They still believe they are in charge. They will make laws and demands from citizens as usual; but some of their demands and laws are now beyond their powers. The sons of Light, by the knowledge of the Most High, will defy the rulers of the world out of allegiance to the King of kings. The rulers will soon realize they are losing control and will fight to prove they are in change; but it will not change anything. They have three options: (1) acknowledge the King of kings and change their decrees, (2) surrender and keep shut in shame and defeat, (3) fight on and get crushed. This is not a dream; it is not the fabrication of any man’s mind; it’s reality. Heaven has taken over. Heaven rules!

In the fourth chapter of the book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar told his experience of his humiliation by God; for the pride of his heart. He had a dream of a great tree in the midst of the earth. The tree, by reason of its great branches, had become shelter for birds of the air and kinds of beasts. Then there was a command to cut down the tree and leave its stump to the dew. Then a voice spoke of what should happen to the stump of the tree as if it was a man. Daniel interpreted the king’s dream. The king was the tree decreed to be cut down and humiliated until he turns to respect God. Daniel told him what to do to avert the impending judgment. He did not listen. Pride goes before a fall. His heart was lifted up because of the greatness of his kingdom. The decree against him was executed. He became insane and beastly. He was driven from his place. He lived with animals under the shine and dew of heaven until the seasons had passed and until he realized his error and acknowledged the dominion of heaven. Nebuchadnezzar was humiliated and judged for the pride of his heart. In the fourth seven years of the 21st century, some arrogant world leaders are going to experience a sudden and humiliating loss of power. Their pride is going to cause their fall.

In the fourth chapter of the book of Acts, Peter and John were called to defend themselves before the rulers, for healing a lame man and for preaching the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They were told to quit preaching the name of Jesus; but they resolved to obey God rather than men. The council sought to kill them but were restrained by the intervention and wise counsel of Gamaliel. He told the council they might be fighting against God. The apostles were beaten and released to go. They rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer for the name of Jesus Christ. They returned to their own company, reported everything to them, and they all prayed. The building where they prayed shook; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit; and preached even more boldly. Nobody could stop them from preaching Jesus Christ. They knew the seat of power had shifted. This story is recorded in a fourth chapter for our instruction.

WHY THE POWER-SHIFT?
It’s the ripe time for it. There is a ripe time for every purpose under heaven. We did not just step into 2022 on January 1; but also into the fourth seven years of the century. The fourth seven years of any century is Heaven’s take over season. So, it is also satan’s reaction season. This is the time when the god of this world and the kingdom of darkness rise to contend against the move of God that began in the third seven years. That is also when God rises in and through those who know Him; to counter the resistance of hell and her children. It is time to stand for God. It is time to stand for the truth. It is time to stand to the challenge of hell. It is the time to say to the wicked and arrogant princes of this world, ‘Enough!’

PREPARE FOR WAR

Martin Luther began the reformation-work in the third seven years of the 16th century. The Counter-reformation occupied the 4th seven years of the 16th century. The pilgrim fathers arrived Jamestown in the third 7 years of the 17th century. War broke out against the immigrants in the fourth seven years. Even back home in the fourth seven years of the 17th was a season of conflict between the puritans and the kings – especially Charles 1.The Ottoman Empire massacred Greek Christians in 1822 at the beginning of the fourth seven years of the 19th century. The third seven years of the 20th century was WW1 season. Germany and her allies were defeated. Russian communism and German fascism began to break loose in the fourth seven years of the 20th century. . Anti-Semitism began to build up in Germany as Christian persecution began to build up in the USSR. They were an assault on freedom.The fourth season is ‘fight-back’ season for Darkness.

COME UP HERE!

In the fourth chapter of the book of Revelation, God invited John to come to heaven and receive a revelation of the future.

Revelation 4:1-6: “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” [2] Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. [3] And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. [4] Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. [5] And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. [6] Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back”.

The Lord is calling His people to ‘come up’ to the place of revelation. He wants to grant revelations into the future. It is a call to leave where they are and ‘come up’ to where they can see. Let us move up to the place of revelation and action.

  1. BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE 4TH SEVEN YEARS

There are five basic biblical patterns that can help us understand the fourth 7 years of the 21st century. They are

A. The narrative of the fourth day of creation (Genesis 1: 14-19). The seven days of creation are key to understanding all dated and numbered seasons.

It is a season of control from heaven.
It is a season of light-givers
It is a season rulers and dictators
It is a season of law-givers
It is a season of sign-givers
It is a season of energy from above
It is the season of warmers, heaters, and melters.

B. Fourth chapters of the Bible

C. Fourth Book of the Bible

D. Fourth 7 books of the Bible
The fourth seven books of the Bible indicate that the fourth seven years of the 21st century is for

  1. The emergence of uncompromising prophetic voices
  2. The judgement of false prophets and corrupt leaders.
  3. The huniliation of proud and arrogant leaders
  4. The display and exhibition of the sovereignty and supremacy of God
  5. The persecution and promotion of uncompromising believers and prophets.
  6. Unreserved submission to God; a time to go, do, or say only what He wants.
  7. Redeployment of the faithful through involuntary relocations.

E. Fourth 7 chapters of the Bible (22-28)

  1. AGENDA FOR THE SEASON
  2. The fourth book of the Bible reveals the Divine agenda for the fourth seven years.

A. The fourth seven years is battle season. The first instruction God gave Moses in the fourth book of the Bible was to conduct a census of men who are able to go to war. God told him to conduct a second census in the 26th chapter of the book. Then, most of those counted in the first census had died. This is a season to take census of the men of war. Heaven is recruiting men of war on earth; as nations are keeping their military on alert. The men of war will be tested for strength, endurance, and good manners; and the faint-hearted, complainers, and those who cannot endure hardness will be screened out. All such people died in the wilderness. The fourth seven years is census time.

The fourth seven years is a season of war requiring training, screening, organization, planning, and focus. It is a season of preparation for wars and battles of defense. The enemy comes against God’s people in this season. So, God’s people must be battle-ready.

The fourth season is a season of battle and preparation for battle. God created the luminaries on the fourth day for war against darkness, cold, disorganization, disorderliness, and confusion. In the fourth book of the Bible, Moses numbered the men of war among the people. He also numbered and organized the spiritual army – the Levites (Numbers 4). They were the ones that stopped the flow of Jordan for Israel to cross over. Joshua 4:18 says, “And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before”. Joshua 4:12-13 also tell us that men of war are needed in the fourth season. “And the men of Reuben, the men of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them. [13] About forty thousand prepared for war crossed over before the LORD for battle, to the plains of Jericho”. In Judges 4, Deborah and Barak led Israel to war against Jabin the. King of Canaan and his commander, Sisera. Jael, the wife of Heber, killed Sisera with generousity and a tenth peg. Ruth 4 reveals that Boaz and Ruth are the descendants of David the man of war. In First Samuel 4, Israel fought with the Philistines but we’re defeated. Ishbosheth was murdered in Second Samuel 4. In First Chronicles 4, the tribe of Simeon enlarged their territory through warfare (1 Chronicles 4: i39 -43). The adversaries of Judah made the rebuilding of the temple cease in Ezra 4. In Nehemiah 4 the Jews worked and also prepared for war as they built the wall of Jerusalem. In Esther 4, the Jews took the battle with Haman to a spiritual plane through fasting.

WARNING: In the fourth season, you should avoid conflict with God and every unnecessary conflict with people. It is an evil trap. In Genesis 4, Cain had conflict with both his brother Abel and God. The Lord God had rejected Cain’s offering but accepted Abel’s. Cain gott angry and killed his brother Abel. The Lord cursed him and made him a fugitive and a wanderer. In Exodus 4, God was angry with Moses twice; firstly, for telling God he would not go to Egypt to deliver Israel; and then for delaying circumcision of his son (perhaps because of objection from his wife). In Deuteronomy 4, Moses commanded the people to obey God’s word and shun idolatry.

B. The fourth seven years is a season of leadership and governmental order. In the fourth book of the Bible, God also told Moses to appoint the leaders of the tribes and heads of families. Screen out those who can’t follow instructions or submit to authority. Screen out rebels. Screen out vision-less leaders who cannot inspire people to reach for greater heights. The fourth seven years is weeding time. In Second Kings 4, Solomon set up an excellent and wise organization in his administration.

C. The fourth seven years is a season of reproductive Intimacy and population growth. Children began to be born in the world in Genesis 4. Adam and Eve had their three children here. They activated the blessing of fruitfulness and multiplication upon them – to fill the esrth, subdue it, and have dominion. Cain also multiplied here. Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve also had his son, Enosh, here. The evil one struggles to make the fourth season a season of decimation – when men die. Eli and his two sons died in First Samuel 4. The Philistines defeated Israel in battle and killed many people in this chapter also.

The fourth season is the season of babies. Babies began to come into the world in Genesis 4. Moses’little baby was circumcised in Exodus 4. Ruth and Boaz had Obed in Ruth 4. Eli’s grandson, Ichabod, was born in First Samuel 4. The barren Shunemite woman conceived and gave birth in Second Kings 4.

D. It is a season of offerings and sacrifices.
Cain and Abel brought offerings to God in Genesis 4. Leviticus 4 is about offerings for atonement. Psalm 4:5 says, “Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD”.

E. It is a season to protect your mind from invasion and infiltration through the word of God. Psalm 4:4 says, “Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah”.

F. A Time to Run with Divine Energy

It is a season of divine empowerment. It is a season of signs and wonders and exploits. In Genesis 4, God put a seal of preservation on Cain’s forehead. The seal was a divine equipment and gave him immunity from murder. Moses performed several signs and wonders in the 4th book of the Bible. In Exodus 4, God equipped Moses with miraculous signs for the conflict with Pharaoh and Egypt. For Moses, Exodus 4 was the point of preparation and empowerment for the conflict ahead. In Second Kings 4, Elisha demonstrated the power of God to save a widow and her children from the burden of debts. In the same chapter, he demonstrated God’s power against barrenness and death, purified a deadly or poisoned pot of stew, and fed 100 people with very little provision. In Mark 4, the wind obeyed Jesus to the amazement of His disciples. In Luke 4, Jesus healed so many sick people. In John 4, Jesus manifested the signs of a prophet and the woman of Samaria believed. In the same chapter, Jesus said the people unless they see signs and wonders. Jesus healed the nobleman’s son who was in another city without any and form of physical contact.
In Acts 4, the house where the disciples prayed shook after they prayed.

  1. The fourth seven years is a season of fearless dependence on God. It is a season to not be terrified by circumstances. It is a season to face challenging situations with courage, boldness, and confidence in God. In the fourth chapter of Mark, Jesus rebuked the disciples for being afraid of the storm. In the fourth chapter of Acts, the apostles exhibited unwavering faith in Jesus and commitment to preaching the gospel.
  2. Season to trust in God and God’s Word. The fourth seven years is a season to demonstrate unwavering devotion to the Lord. The fourth seven years is a season to show unshakable commitment to the Word of God. The faith of believers will be tested in this season. (Deut 4; Prob. 4)

The 9th Seven Years of Nations

Welcome to the season of the ninth 7 years (57-63). The ninth 7 years is also called the 9th prophetic week. It begins after the 56th anniversary or birthday; and ends with the 63rd anniversary or birthday. Every seven year season is a prophetic week. This is the second prophetic week in the second 49 years. It is a core second-season. We can gain understanding about the 9th prophetic week from the second day of creation narrative, the ninth book and ninth chapters of the Bible, the 9th seven books of the Bible, and the second six chapters of Exodus (7-12). May a full package of the good things of the ninth seasob be your portion this prophetic week. What is revealed here about the ninth week is equally applicable to people, families, organizations, and nations, going through the ninth seven years (57-63).

The 9th Seven Years is a second-day-of-creation week. On the second day of creation, God created the firmament to break the monopoly of the waters; and make room for other things to exist. As God released the monopoly-breaker on the second day of creation, the ninth week is  for breaking oppressive monopolies and making room for others. It is for making a way where there is no way. In this season, God wants to dismantle giant space-blockers presented as problems defying solution. It is a season of intense spiritual warfare against evil forces.

Week 9 is a book-of-First-Samuel week. Every numbered season has its guiding light in the Bible book that corresponds to the number of the season. First Samuel is the ninth book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 9th prophetic week. The book stands for the emergence of new leaders to fill a leadership void, the recovery of what is lost, the demonstration of God’s power in answer to prayers, and the overthrow of monopolies. This is a season of leadership-change, recovery of lost things, answers to fervent prayers, and thwarting evil monopolies. May the heart of Hannah, Samuel, and David come alive in you this week. The leadership change required here is moving from one that is a burden (as found in the house of Eli) to one that lifts burdens (as found in Samuel and David). God anointed both Saul and David for battles. The ninth book of the Bible reveals that the ninth season is a season of battles. The revelation of God as “the Lord of hosts” began in the ninth book of the Bible.

The 9th Seven Years is an Exodus 7-12 Season. This is the second of the seven divisions of Exodus covering the second 49 years of existence. In this second section of Exodus, Moses released ten plagues to pressurize Pharaoh to release Israel. Pharaoh and Egypt came under intense pressure by reason of the successive plagues. Through the plagues, Pharaoh’s  monopoly of power was broken. This ninth prophetic week is for mounting intense spiritual pressure on, and breaking the strength of, evil and oppressive forces of the season. This is a season to demand progressive and positive change. It is a season of war for freedom from evil controlling powers.

Week 9 is a ninth chapters of the Bible week. The ninth chapters of the Bible reveal that the ninth season is:

(1) for the emergence of new leaders (Genesis 9, First Samuel 9, Second Kings 9, Matthew 9, Acts 9);

(2) for vows and covenants (Genesis 9, Joshua 9, First Samuel 18);

(3) for reversing plans of destruction and stopping the hands of death (Genesis 9, Judges 9, First Samuel 18-26, Esther 9, Acts 9). Vows and covenants are powerful yoke-breakers in the ninth season.

Week 9 is a ninth-seven books of the Bible week. The ninth seven books of the Bible are Philemon, Hebrews, James, First Peter, Second Peter, First John, and Second John. The ninth seven books are books of change, recovery, and restoration. In the 57th book of the Bible, Philemon recovers what he lost in and through Onesimus, his slave. In the 58th book, the author of the book of Hebrews focuses on change from the old covenant to the new covenant. In the 59th book, James writes about the recovery of authentic Christianity. In the 60th book, Peter draws attention to Christ-like faith amid persecution and suffering. The 61st book is about recovery of the true doctrines of our faith. In the 62nd book, John draws attention to the Life, Light, and Love. The 63rd book, written to the ‘elect lady’ is call to walk in the truth, shun idolatry and the anti-Christ. The ninth seven books of the Bible are about returning to what should be. May the ninth prophetic week bring change, recovery, and restoration to you.

REVIEW OF 9TH SEASON THINGS

Here are four broad ‘Bible-things’ about the ninth season:

A. It is a week of help to the helpless. In the ninth season, the hopeless rejoice (The Gibeonites in Joshua 9; Saul in First Samuel 9; Mephiboshet in Second Samuel 9; The Queen of Sheba in First Kings 9; Jehu in Second Kings 9; The Jews in Esther 9; The sick and afflicted in Matthew 9, Luke 9, and Mark 9; The Man born blind in John 9; Aeneas and Dorcas in Acts 9). Believe God, tin his season,  for surprising visitations in the area of need.

B. It is a week of recoveries. In the ninth season, lost things are recovered. In the 9th book of the Bible, the Philistines returned the Ark they captured. In the ninth chapter of that book, the lost donkeys belonging to Saul’s father were found. In the 30th chapter of that book, David pursued his enemies and recovered all he lost to them. In Acts 9, God recovered a lost soul in Saul of Tardus. Saul recovered his sight; Aeneas recovered his health; and Dorcas recovered her life In this prophetic week, may you celebrate the recovery of things you lost.

C. It is a week of reversing the plans of the wicked. This season, what the wicked had planned for others will return to the head of the wicked. The ninth season is when evil returns to those who plan it for others. In this season, the opposite of what the wicked thinks happens. It is a season when God treads down the enemies of his people. In Judges 9, Abimelech perished for stretching his hands against his father’s house, killing the sons of his father, and making himself king. In the 9th book of the Bible, the Philistines hurt themselves for seizing the ark of covenant; Goliath perished for standing up against the armies of the living God; and king Saul, who wanted to see David dead, died. In Second Kings 9, God raised Jehu against the house of Ahab. In Esther 9, the battle turned against those who had prepared to destroy the Jews. The Jews overpowered their enemies. In Acts 9, Saul of Tarsus encountered Jesus Christ on the way to Damascus; and his evil plan was aborted. This is a season of the Boomerang – to give to the wicked and evil people a taste of what they intend to give to others. This week, the Lord will arrest the raging of the wicked in your favor; but you must position yourself properly, under God, to receive this blessing.

D. It is a week of intense pressure to weaken and break the backbone of the enemy. The plagues that came down on Egypt in Exodus 7-12 brought Pharaoh and his people to their knees. The plagues of tumor on the Philistines and the destruction of the image of their god compelled them to return the Ark to Israel. This season, the Lord will put intense pressure on the enemy to give up on your case. Amen!

Saul of Tarsus was on a mission to destroy in Acts 9 before Jesus Christ stopped him. The Jews in were to be annihilated in Esther 9 before the opposite occurred. Jehu was anointed for the House of Ahab in Second Kings 9. The tormenting locusts from the bottomless pit were released in Revelation 9. The Bible reveals that the ‘9th’ is the strikers target. Both Heaven and hell strike in the ninth season. Nigeria’s 9th national leader was in office for 84 days before being ousted. The 9th US President served only 31 days before his death. Even 9/11 wasn’t just something that could have happened any other month of the year. The 9th prophetic week, Heaven will strike against those who want to strike you. May the Lord grant you recoveries instead of losses.

PRAYERS FOR THE 9TH WEEK

1. O Lord, reverse the plans of the wicked. Let the killers and abductors be arrested and their plans frustrated. Let the tide turn against killers and destroyers by a supernatural twist. In the 9th book of the Bible, the killer-Goliath was killed, King Saul could not kill David. In Esther 9, the plans of the Persians against the Jews backfired. In Acts 9, the spirit of death working through Paul and diseases we’re arrested. O Lord, let the enemy come under intense pressure; and let his backbone be broken. Let the prey be freed from the predator.

2. O Lord, make a way for what is lost be recovered, in this season. Let there be a recovery of lost things. In the 9th chapter of the 9th book of the Bible, Saul sought for the lost donkeys of his father. In the 30th chapter of the same First Samuel, David and his men recovered their abducted families.

3. O Lord, let there be a change of guard in this season of my life. Let there a shift in power-holding in my life. In Second Kings 9, Jehu was anointed to overthrow the House of Ahab.

4. Let there be opening of eyes for me in this prophetic week. Let the seer-anointing come upon me to see hidden things and things I have never seen before. In the ninth chapter of the ninth book of the Bible, Samuel was a Seer. In the ninth chapter of John, a man born blind man was healed. In the ninth chapter of Acts, Saul of Tarsus was healed from blindness.

The 12th Seven Years of Your Life

The 12th seven years begins after the 77th year, birthday, or anniversary. If you have marked the 77th year, completing the 11th seven years, then, you are welcome to the 12th seven years (78-84)! The 12th seven years is the fifth seven years in the second 49 years (50-98). The Bible key for understanding the twelfth prophetic or 12th seven years is the fifth day of creation, the 12th book of the Bible, the 12th chapters of the Bible, Exodus 25-30 (fifth 6 chapters of the second book of the Bible), and the first 9 books of the New Testament.

The 12th seven years is a fifth day of creation season. On the fifth day, God filled the empty waters with abundance of living (moving) creatures; and created the birds to fly over the earth. The fifth day of creation was unique for the following reasons: it is – 1. The beginning of movement on the earth – birds and sea creatures.2. The beginning of flesh and blood in God’s creation.3. The beginning of verbal communication – chirping and singing birds.4. The beginning of seeing and sensing and breathing.5. The beginning of blessings. God blessed His creation with fruitfulness and multiplication for the first time.6. The beginning of life in the waters. 7. The beginning of prey-predator relationships. That is the reason for oppression in fifth seasons.8. The beginning of think-ability in creation. 9. The beginning of mating (sex) and egg production.10. The beginning of creatures of balance – swimming with fins and flying with wings. From the account of the fifth day of creation, we learn that the fifth season is a season of life, movement, freedom, equity, abundance, blessings, sensibility, visions and revelations, and of reaching depths and heights.

This 12th seven years is a season of radical new beginnings. It is a season of departure from the norm and the conventional.The 12th seven years is a book-of-Second-Kings season. The book of Second Kings is the twelfth book of the Bible and is applicable to all 12th seasons. This is the only book of the Bible that ends in the 25th chapter. It is a story of revival and relapse. Elijah’s ministry experienced a revival and he ended up leaving the earth without dying. The first time a man left the earth without dying was in the fifth chapter of Genesis. That man was Enoch. The fifth season is flight-time. In the 12th book of the Bible, Elisha’s ministry of power and intervention began in this book. The 12th season is a season of adversities in which God, in His mercy, intervenes to bring help to men. The 12th season is a season of crying out God for salvation, healing, sustenance, and restoration. Elisha was the answer in the 12th book of the Bible. God used Elisha to move people into new levels by delivering them from afflictions, distresses, destruction, and death. The ministry of Elisha culminated in the anointing of Jehu for destruction of the house of Ahab.

The twelfth season is a season of revival. There were reformations of religion in the 12th book of the Bible; but the book sadly ended with the fall and captivity of Judah and Jerusalem. The fifth season is an up-down season if God is disregarded; but if God is honored, it is a down-up season. May this 12th seven years be a season of powerful spiritual movements; a week of demonstrations and manifestations of God’s power; a week of great deliverance, and salvation; a week of inexplicable triumphs over death.

The 12th seven years is a twelfth-chapters-of-the-Bible season. The twelfth chapters of the Bible reveal that the 12th season is a season of departures and a new beginning. It is also a season of escapes from death and distress. In Genesis 12, Abraham departed his country and family; and also escaped the scourge of famine in the new land. In Exodus 12, the Passover happened; and the firstborn of Israelites escaped death on the night of Passover. In First Samuel 12, Samuel gave His farewell address before Israel and departed active service as Judge after he had presented Saul to Israel. In First Kings 12, ten tribes seceded from the United Kingdom of Israel. In John 12, the Jews planned to kill Lazarus and Jesus, after Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead, but they could not. In Acts 12, Peter escaped death at the hands of Herod – after Herod had beheaded James. Herod died mysteriously in this chapter. In Revelation 12, the Man-child, whom the dragon wanted to devour, was caught up to heaven and escaped death. Death comes in the 12th season, but God also grants escape from death in the same season. Proverbs 12:28 says, “In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death”. Zachary Taylor, the anti-slavery, anti-secession, 12th president of the United States, died after 16 months in office; and after 5 days of illness. ‘Bleeding Kansas’, a series of violent civil confrontations arising from ideological debates about the legality of slavery in proposed Kansas State, happened in the 12th seven years of the United States. The ‘unsinkable’ Titanic sank in 1912; on April 14-15. Over 1500 people (many of whom were famous) died in the disaster. Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, was delivered from death and imprisonment to become the 12th leader of Nigerian government. There were several deaths in that season including the death of the First Lady. The spirit of death is very active in the twelfth season; but so also the spirit of life and preservation. The 12th season is ordained for deliverance and departures. It is a time to move up to the next level. The 12th season favors freedom and liberty. In the 12th seven years of the United States (1853-1860), the anti-slavery Republican Party was formed; paving way for Abraham Lincoln and his Emancipation Proclamation.

The 12th seven years is an Exodus 25-30 season in the second 49 years of life. Within these chapters, Israel gave free-will offerings for the tabernacle. God gave instructions concerning the construction of the tabernacle, the altars, and the garments of the priests. Aaron and his sons were consecrated. What is the reason for the focus on the construction of the tabernacle in the fifth six chapters of Exodus? The Tabernacle was intended to be the Habitation of God among men. From the Tabernacle, men can receive answers from God. The 12th season is a season of great needs that compel men to seek help from God. The 12th is also a season of offerings and sacrifices. This is a season to demonstrate loyalty through devotion, offerings, and sacrifices. The twelfth book of the Bible has several accounts of generosity. In John 12, Mary broke the alabaster and lavishly anointed Jesus with the oil. It was a costly offering. In Acts 12, Paul and Barnabas were in Jerusalem with gifts and offerings from the church at Antioch. Romans 12:1 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service”. First Corinthians 12 is about the gifts of the Holy Spirit to believers and the church. The twelfth seven years is a season of offerings and sacrifices. It’s a season to offer yourself to God as a living sacrifice. It is a season to lay down the material for a spiritual cause.

The 12th seven years is a Psalm 78-84 season – a psalm for each year. These seven psalms are a desperate plea for intervention and deliverance. The 78th psalm, a 72-verse psalm, reveals how gracious God was to unfaithful Israel through her journeys. Psalm 79 is a cry to deliver and preserve those appointed to die. Psalm 80 says three times, “Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!” Psalm 81 expresses God’s pain for the stubbornness of His people. Psalm 81:13-14 says, “Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! [14] I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries”. Psalm 82 expresses God’s heart for justice in the land. Psalm 82:3-4 says, “Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked”. Psalm 83 is a desperate cry to frustrate conspiracies against Israel. Psalm 84 is about the blessedness of dwelling in the House of God – the house of prayer. The 12th seven years is a season to handle with prayers.

The 12th seven years is a Matthew – Galatians season in the second 49 years. It is the beginning of the New Testament side of the second 49 years. It is a season of wonders and miracles in the second 49 years. Every 49 year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first 28 year (in every 49 years) is the Old Testament side of the season. The remaining 21 years is the New Testament side. The 12th seven years is the beginning of the New Testament side of the second 49 years; and has its guiding light in the first 9 books of the New Testament. These books tell the story of Jesus and the Church. The 12th seven years is a new beginning. It is a ‘Jesus season’. It is a season of divine interventions. As the New Testament began with the Gospel, that is how the Lord wants to fill the 12th seven years with good news and miracles.In these 12th seven years, may the Lord move you and all yours out of disempowering limitations; and move you into empowering freedom and liberty! Welcome to the prophet season of good news: freedom regained; the barren conceive; the hungry fed; the poor made rich; the bound loosed; the sick healed, and the dead revived. Let evil news be far away from you in this season. Happy 12th seven years!

The 11th Seven Years of Life

So, you have marked 70? Welcome to the season of the eleventh seven years (71-77). This is also called the 11th prophetic week. Every seven year season is a prophetic week. The 11 seven years is the fourth seven-year season in the second 49 years of life (50-98).

The 11 prophetic week is a fourth-season prophetic week. The Bible-keys for understanding the eleventh seven years are the fourth day of creation, the fourth six chapters of Exodus (the book of the Bible foreshadowing the second 49 days), the eleventh book of the Bible, and the eleventh chapters of the Bible, and the last nine books of the Old Testament.

The 11th seven years is a fourth-day-of-creation season in the Second 49 years. Why is it so? Since it is the fourth seven years within the second 49 years (50-98), it is a fourth season; and has its primary decoder is the fourth day of creation narrative. God made luminaries on the fourth day of creation “… to DIVIDE the day from the night; and let them be for SIGNS AND SEASONS, and for days and years; [15] and let them be for LIGHTS in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; He made the luminaries to “give light on the earth, [18] and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness”. The luminaries were made to keep the earth lightened, organized, and running smoothly. The world would be chaotic without the luminaries. Why did God create lights on the fourth day; after He had said “Let there be light” on the first day? The prophetic reason is that the fourth season is a fight-back season for darkness and disorder. The adversary comes in the fourth season to rubbish or destroy achievements and accomplishments. He comes to recover lost grounds. The fourth book and chapters of the Bible reveal that the tempter and adversary comes in the fourth season. The eleventh seven years is a fourth-season. It is a fight-back season for darkness; but the guiding-lights God provides by His word, His Spirit, and wise counsel, are the answers required in the season. It is a season to rise and touch the heavens as the luminaries are set in the firmament of heaven; but it is also a season to be watchful because of lurking devils.

The 11th seven years is a book-of-First-Kings season. The book of First Kings is the eleventh book of the Bible; and is guiding light for 11th seasons. In this book, Solomon prospered through addiction to God; but later failed through addiction to martial things. He began by seeking God and God’s wisdom; but ended by seeking to please his idolatrous wives and concubines. By wisdom, Solomon administered Israel to greatness. Israel became a center of excellence and a tourist attraction. However, Solomon was not wary of the presence of the tempter. He was king in a fight back season for darkness. His heart misled him to marry many foreign women; and thereby opened up Israel to idol worship. He was a man of great wisdom; a great brain; a great mind; but he was overcome by spiritual darkness because he did not use the light from God’s word. Through Solomon, idolatry invaded the land of Israel; and the nation never fully recovered from that scourge. The eleventh season is duty-season for deceiving spirits; and that should make us very watchful. The kingdom divided in two in the season following Solomon’s reign. Ten tribes deserted the house of David, came to be known as ‘Israel’, Samaria, or the northern kingdom, and were sold out to idol worship. The remaining two tribes, loyal to the house of David, came to be known as Judah or the southern kingdom. The eleventh season is a time to watch against disunity and division. The kingdom of darkness fights with division and splits in this season. In the eleventh season, you must watch against splits within families, organizations, or even nations. It is difficult (not impossible) to maintain unity in eleventh seasons. It happened in the eleventh century with the Great Schism that split the church into East and West. It happened in Genesis 11 at the construction site of the Tower of Babel. It happened in the eleventh book of the Bible. Unity is the strength of eleventh; and so, disruption of unity is the target of the adversary in the season. To respond to the decadence in the eleventh book of the Bible, especially in the northern kingdom, God raised prophets to confront the erring kings and their people. The prophets were God’s luminaries for the season. Ahijah the Shilonite was the first of the prophets. He confronted Solomon; raised Jeroboam and and also brought him down. Elijah was one of them. He confronted Israel, with great demonstrations of spiritual power, in the days of Ahab and Jezebel. Ahab, deceived by his false prophets, died in battle in the last chapter of this book. The 22-chapter book of First Kings is spread through the seven years as follows: 71st year (1 Kings 1-4); 72nd year (1 Kings 5-7); 73rd year (1 Kings 8-10); 74th year (1 Kings 11-13); 75th year (1 Kings 14-16); 76th year (1 Kings 17-19; 77th year (1 Kings 20-22). The eleventh season is a season of great blessing and great testing. It is a season of blessing that can be marred through spiritual blindness and insensitivity. In this season, the kingdom of darkness fights back with deception leading to materialism, moral decadence, seeking alternatives to faith in God, splits, wickedness, and economic hardship. In the same season, God gives helpful light through the law, wise counsel, and prophetic ministry. Be careful to take advantage of Heaven’s luminaries in this season of the 11th seven years.

The 11th seven years is a season of tests. Every season has its thing; and every purpose under heaven has its season. This is a seasons of tests – testing for wisdom, testing for gratitude, and testing for devotion and loyalty. In the eleventh book of the Bible, God gave Solomon a blank cheque to see what he would fill in. He told him to ask whatever he wanted. He asked for Wisdom and passed the test. He was tested for loyalty to God with prosperity and he failed the test. Rehoboam, Jeroboam, Ahab and Jezebel were tested with power. They all failed the test. The faith of the widow of Zarephat was tested. She passed. Elijah also passed the tests of loyalty and commitment to God. Elisha passed the test of faith in God. He forsook everything and followed Elijah. The result of passing a test is blessing or promotion. In the eleventh season, you must not fall into the temptation of doing everything you have the power to do. Give honor to God because He is the Giver of all things; and He is watching you. The Bible reveals that men are not as wise as they ought to be in eleventh seasons. That is the reason the great and mighty fall in eleventh seasons. Do not take what is not yours in the eleventh season; so that what is yours will not be taken from you. The 11th book and 11th chapters of the Bible give this warning. Those who take what is not theirs, always have what is theirs taken from them. Stay humble Recognize and respect the rights of God and men.

The 11th seven years (71-77) is an eleventh-chapters-of-the-Bible season. There are seasons when the wise are not so wise; and the strong are not so strong. The eleventh chapters of the Bible reveal that in the eleventh season, men advance greatly but suffer through mental darkness. The strong king, David, had moral failure in Second Samuel 11. The wise king, Solomon, failed in the eleventh chapter of the eleventh book of the Bible. He sought and received wisdom from God but honored idol worshippers. The powerful prophet, Elijah, ran from Jezebel in the eleventh book of the Bible. The great John the Baptistt, was in prison in Matthew 11. Ghadaffi, the former strong man of Libya, and the former Al-Qaeda chief terrorist, Osama bin Laden, were both killed in 2011. The eleventh seven years is the season of the master-stroke. It is for experiencing either the divine master-stroke or satanic master-stroke. Without spiritual light, the eleventh season is a season of gross darkness and great deception. The Tower of Babel was started and abandoned in Genesis 11. The master-stroke plague against Pharaoh and Egypt was introduced in Exodus 11. Joshua’s victories against the Canaanite kings and nations is recorded in Joshua 11. The chapter ends with “Then the land rested from war”. In First Samuel 11, the heart of Nahash, king of Ammon, was lifted to his own hurt and defeat. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead in John 11. Hebrews 11 is Faith’s master-stroke chapter. God’s two witnesses appeared in Revelation 11; and in the chapter also, it is announced that the kingdoms of this earth have become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. The eleventh season is the season of ‘the last straw that breaks the camel’s back’ – for good or for bad’. This is the season when people May experiences both breakthrough and breaking point. It is the season of the best and the worst, the greatest and the least, the highest and the lowest, the first and the last. The eleventh season is a season of unprecedented exploits in material and spirit realms. It is also, often, a season of great decline. May the season be, for you, a season of reaching great heights and not falling.

THE ELEVENTH SEASON AND VULNERABILITY: The Bible reveals that human flesh is so vulnerable, and human arrogance reaches the peak, in the eleventh season. Consider the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, the failure of David in Second Samuel 11, the failures of Solomon, Rehoboam, Jeroboam, the young prophet, and the fall of kings – down to Ahab – in the eleventh book of the Bible, the weariness of John the Baptist in Matthew 11, the 11th century Great Schism in the Church that has lasted 1000 years, or the the fall of Bin Laden and Gaddafi in 2011. Though the fleshly man is weak in the eleventh season, those who know their God are strong to do exploits in the same season. Daniel 11:32 says, “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits”. The Spirit came on seventy elders in Numbers 11. Jephthah defeated his enemies in Judges 11, Saul defeated the Ammonites in First Samuel 11, Elijah the Tishbite rose and did exploits in the 11th book of the Bible. The first incidence of raising someone from the dead is recorded in the 11th book of the Bible. Jesus cleansed the temple and cursed the fruitless fig tree in Mark 11, taught importunity in Prayer in Luke 11, and raised Lazarus from the dead in John 11. Agabus prophesied in Acts 11, exploits of faith are recorded in Hebrews 11, John’s vision of the two dynamic witness is recorded in Revelation 11. The eleventh season is a time to pray great prayers and be heard. Solomon and Elijah prayed in the eleventh book of the Bible and were heard. Jesus wept and prayed in John 11 and was heard. May the 11th seven years be, for you, a season of strength and exploits.

The 11th seven years (71-77) is an Exodus 19-24 season in the second 49 years. The second book of the Bible is the prophetic guiding-light for the second 49 years. The fourth seven years (71-77) within the second 49 years (50-98) has it guiding light in the fourth six chapters of the second book of the Bible. Within those six chapters, Israel received the Law at Sinai. The law was the light (luminary) given to Israel to guide her in a world of darkness. In the book of Exodus, God made room for His people and demonstrated His power and love towards them. The first 18 chapters of Exodus communicates the love of God to Israel. From the 19th chapter, God began to demand commitment from His people. In the 20th chapter, God gave the Ten Commandments. In the 21st chapter, there are commandments about servants, violence, and animal control. The 22nd to the 24th chapters are still laws covering different subjects. Exodus 19-24 are about recognizing and respecting the rights of God and the rights of men.

The 11th seven years is for recognizing the rights of God and the rights of men. Men are tempted, in this season, to disregard the rights of others and overstep boundaries. Men are tempted, in the eleventh season, to take what does not belong them. They succumb through darkness. That is the reason God gives luminaries in this season. The eleventh seven years is a season of guiding-lights. The Law was light to Israel. Proverbs 6:23 says, “For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life”. The key to success in the eleventh season is unreserved commitment to God’s principles. It is a season of ‘God First’. Those who do not give God first place in the eleventh season suffer great losses. God’s word must be your only Light in the 11th seven year. Listen to God’s word, genuine and sound prophetic people, and wise people.

The 11th seven years is Obadiah – Malachi season in the second 49 years. Every 49-year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first 28 years is the Old Testament side of the 49-year season. The remaining 21 years is the New Testament side of the 49-year season. The 11th seven years is the fourth and last week in the Old Testament side of the 49-year season; and has its guiding light in the last nine books of the Old Testament. The eleventh seven years is the bridge-season leading to the New Testament side of the second 49 years. It is the bridge-season connecting the Old Testament side and the New Testament side of the 49-year season. The last 9 books of the Old Testament (Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi) are lights for the season. They are books of tests and trials. They are books of failure, correction, and recovery. May these seven years be, for you, a season of triumphs and recoveries.

THE 11TH SEVEN YEARS OF THE UNITED STATES (1846 – 1853): Three major things happened in the US in the eleventh seven years: 1) the Mexican-American war (1846-1848). 2) Three Presidents served in this season: the 11th James K. Polk whose presidency extended US territory through the Mexican-American war, the war hero and 12th President, Zachary Taylor, who died on the 5th day of the 17th month of his presidency; and the 13th President, Millard Fillmore. 3) The Compromise of 1850 that brought California into the Union and delayed Southern secession for a decade. The 11th season is a season of compromise.

In the season of the eleventh seven years, you will not give in to the flesh or stumble. It is your season of exploits by the Spirit of God. Sensitize your heart and mind, with God’s word, and be on your guard against the tempter and his schemes. This season, nobody will take what belongs to you; and you will not overstep your own bounds. This season, you will not lose unity and harmony to quarrels, disputes, and division. Happy eleventh Seven Years!

The 10th Seven Years of Life (Age 64-70)

Welcome to the season of the 10th seven years of life. This season begins on the 63rd birthday and ends the day before the 70th birthday. The 63rd birthday is the beginning of the 64th year. The 10th seven years is also called the 10th prophetic week. The tenth prophetic week is the third seven years in the second 49 years and ends with the 21st year in the second 49 years. It begins with the 15th year in the second 49 years The major Bible patterns for understanding the 10th seven years are

1) the third-day-of-creation narrative;

2) the third book of the Bible;

3) the third six chapters of Exodus;

4) the tenth book of the Bible;

5) the tenth chapters of the Bible.

Here are five things about the tenth week from the patterns:

1. The 10th Seven Years of a person is a third-day-of-creation season in the Second 49 years of that person. On the third day of creation, God overthrew the waters under heaven, gathered it in one place; and caused the dry ground (earth) to manifest as a new platform for good. On the third day, God also commanded the dry ground to bring forth vegetation. As a prophetic third season, the 10th seven years is a season of overthrows, a season of manifesting new platforms; a season of bringing forth sustenance by releasing what is in you. As God fought His last battle against the waters (for the manifestation of the earth) on the third day of creation, that is how He fights in the 10th seven years for those who trust Him. This is the season of the last battle for your manifestation.

2. The 10th Seven Years of a person is a book-of-Leviticus season in the second 49 years of the person. Leviticus is the third book of the Bible. This book is about the priesthood, the offerings, sacrifices, the tabernacle, the feasts, and laws that sustained Israel’s relationship with God. The priests and Levites were descendants of the third son of Jacob, Levi, and were responsible for standing in the gap between a Israel and God. They had no other business in Israel. The tenth seven years is a season of advocacy and standing in the gap in your world. This is the time to raise your voice, in truth, for the weak and oppressed. As a book of Leviticus season, the tenth seven years is for ‘priestly’ intercession. It is for standing in the gap to ensure peace and justice; and to keep destruction away. Without priestly advocacy intervention, the tenth prophetic week is a season of overthrows. As you give yourself to prayer and advocacy in this season, God will take over the battles of the season.

3. The 10th Seven Years of a person is an Exodus 13-18 season in the Second 49 years of that person. Exodus is the second book of the Bible and is applicable to the second 49 days of the year. This third section of Exodus (the third six chapters) is applicable to the third seven years in the second 49 year season. In Exodus 13, Israel began their journey through the wilderness; and everything in this section of Exodus relates to the wilderness. Here, God laid claim to the firstborn of all that Israel has – man or animal. In Exodus 14, God divided the Red Sea, and made way for Israel to cross over on dry ground, but swallowed up the Egyptians chasing the Israelites. In Exodus 15, Moses and Miriam led Israel to sing to God. In that chapter, also, God delivered Israel from thirst and dehydration. In Exodus 16, He gave Israel bread from heaven (Manna). In Exodus 17, God gave Israel water from a dry rock as Moses struck the rock by the leading of God. In this chapter, also, Israel fought and defeated Amalek. In Exodus 18, God gave Moses wisdom for the work through Jethro, his father-in-law. The third six chapters of Exodus records Israel’s wilderness experiences in the book of Exodus. Those six chapters show that tenth even years is a season of deliverances, triumphs, and sustenance. The tenth seven years is a season of offerings and worship to the Lord. It is also a season of accountability and mentoring guidance; such as happened between Moses and Jethro. In this prophetic week, the Lord will overthrow your enemies and deliver you from trouble and danger. He will provide for you. He will fight your battles and lead you to victory.

4. The 10th Seven Years of a person is a book-of-Second-Samuel season in that person’s life. Second Samuel is the 10th book of the Bible; and is also applicable to the 10th seven years. In this book, the house of Saul finally went down and David became king of all Israel. In this book, David and his mighty men subdued the Philistines and the surrounding enemy nations. He established Jerusalem as the city of God and brought the ark to Jerusalem. In the ninth seven years, we fight battles of survival; but in the tenth 7 years, we fight battles of establishment and dominion. The enemy disappears in the tenth season. In this book, David was king, priest, and prophet. He also received prophetic guidance from Nathan and Gad. David had a moral failure in this book; but God had mercy on him; and restored him to his throne. The book of Second Samuel reveals that the tenth prophetic week is a season of breakthrough, establishment, triumphs, and laying strong spiritual foundation for the future. The tenth seven years is a season pressures that makes prayer a life-line. The tenth book of the Bible is full of accounts of death, murder, and assassination. There were reports of death in each of the first four chapters. The tenth season is an anti-death season but swallows those who violate the season’s rule of life. If you spread the 24-chapter book through the seven-year season, each year of the seven years would express three chapters; but the remaining three chapters of the book will go to first three years as follows: year 1 (2 Samuel 1-4); Yea 2 (2 Samuel 5-8); Year 3 (2 Samuel 9-12); Year 4 (2 Samuel 13-15); Year 5 (2 Samuel 16-18); Year 6 (2 Samuel 19-21); Year 7 (2 Samuel 22-24). This 10th prophetic week, may the Lord keep you far from evil news and mourning.

5. The 10th Seven Years of a person is a tenth-chapters-of-the-Bible season in the person’s life. Every purpose under heaven has its season; and every season has its purpose. The tenth chapters of the Bible reveal two major things about the tenth season: (1) It is a season of battles, conflicts, and overthrows. It is a season of power clashes, victories and overthrows. Noah was the tenth from Adam; and in his days, God battled rebellious inhabitants of the earth with the most deadly flood in human history. The genealogy of the sons of Noah is listed in Genesis 10. They formed the new earth of Noah’s day. In Exodus 10, God fought Egypt with locusts and darkness. The tenth plague was God’s finisher in the conflict with Pharaoh and Egypt. In Leviticus 10, the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu perished for offering profane fire. In Joshua 10, God fought for Israel against the five kings of the Canaanites with the forces of nature.  In Judges 10, Israel was greatly distressed because of their enemies. Tola and Jair were Judges in this chapter. The trouble in this chapter paved way for the emergence of Jephthah. In Second Samuel 10, David fought the Ammonites and the Syrians. The troubles of David began when kings went to war and he sat back in his palace. The tenth season is not a time of ease. In Daniel 10, Michael fought the resisting Prince of Persia so Gabriel can deliver answers to Daniel’s prayers. In Acts 10, God gave Peter new light against the understanding he had always had. Grace overthrew Law. First Corinthians 10 talks about those who came out of Egypt but were overthrown in the wilderness. In Second Corinthians 10, Paul reminds us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through. The tenth season is battle-season! It is a season of intense spiritual warfare. This is applicable to the tenth seven years (2) The season is for the establishment and realization of dreams and expectations. It is a season of delivering answers to prayers. In Exodus 10, Egypt had darkness, but there was light in Goshen. It was the end of dialogue and negotiation between Moses and Pharaoh. In Joshua 10, the servant of God, Joshua, withstood darkness from overtaking him by commanding the sun and the moon to stand still. They obeyed him. In the tenth chapter of First Samuel, Saul was anointed king of Israel and prophesied publicly. Samuel also told him his father’s donkeys had been found. David became king in 10th book of the Bible. In Esther 10, Mordecai sat beside the King of Persia and ruled with Him. In Daniel 10, Michael fought against, and overpowered, the prince of Persia that withstood Gabriel and the revelation (understanding) he was bringing to Daniel. Zechariah 10 says if we ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain, He would send us lightning, showers of rain, and food in the fields. In the tenth chapters of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, prayers were answered through the ministries of Jesus and his disciples. In Acts 10, Cornelius prayed four days; to receive to angelic visitation; and, also, the word and revelation that came to his household and friends from Peter. Cornelius’ prayers were answered and he and his family were filled with the Spirit as Peter preached. The tenth seven years is a season of realizing dreams. 3. The tenth prophetic week is a season of “no more delay”. The angel of Revelation 10 declared there shall be no more delays. In Joshua 10, Joshua prayed for an extended day instead of delayed victory. He didn’t want the night to push the battle to another day. In Acts 10, things happened in quick succession. There was no delay. God told him to go with those who came to see him “doubting nothing”. Peter said, “I came as soon as I was sent for”; “and while Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on those who heard the word”. Delay is dangerous in the tenth season. It was delay that killed the ‘counsel of Ahitophel’ in the 10th book of the Bible. Ahitophel did not want delay in attacking David’s camp; but Hushai introduced the element of delay to undermine Ahitophel. Amass died because of delay in the 10th book of the Bible (chapter 20). When the 9th president of the United States, William Harrison, died after one month in office, there was no constitutional succession plan. The Vice President, John Tyler, did not wait for any new law to be passed. He assumed presidency. No delay!

The 10th Seven Years of a person is Ecclesiastes – Amos season in the Second 49 years of the person. Going through any 49-year season is like taking a journey through the Bible. Going through the first 28 years is like journeying through the 39 books of the Old Testament. Going through the last 21 years is like journeying through the 27 books of the New Testament. The 10th seven years is the third seven years in the Second 49 years; and has its guiding light in the third 10 books of the Bible. The third 10 books are Ecclesiastes. Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, and Amos. The books focus on the overthrow of people and nations that are out of alignment with God’s purposes; and the establishment of people and nations that are in alignment with God’s purposes.

This prophetic week, may the Lord give you the good things of the tenth season; and deliver you from the challenges of the season. May answers to your prayers be delivered to you. Every ‘broken-enemy’ of the ninth seven years that will come after you in the tenth seven years will fall before you! Happy 10th seven years! 

PRAYERS FOR THE 10TH SEVEN YEARS OF A PERSON

1. Deliver me from the defeated enemy of the ninth seven years that will revive and come after me in this tenth prophetic week. Let them all be consumed.

2. Turn the wilderness of this tenth prophetic week into a fruitful field; and give me streams in the desert. Lead me to your hidden provisions for this season.

3. Help me that I may not be distracted by vanities this tenth prophetic week as David was deceived to take Uriah’s wife and number Israel in the tenth book of Israel.

4. Give me victory in the battles of this season. Let the Amalekites and the Philistines, the Syrians, and the Moabites fall before me this season.

5. Give me the wisdom that would carry me through the work of this season; as you gave to Moses through his father in-law.

Welcome to the 276th day of the year. Day 276 is the third day of the 40th week; the third day of the fifth week in the sixth 49 days; and the 31st day in the sixth 49 days. The third day is the turning point in the week. Day 276 is October 3 in a clear year and October 2 in a leap year. 

The Bible patterns for understanding the 276th day are 

The third day of creation narrative

The third book and chapters of the Bible

The 31st book and chapters of the Bible

The third four chapters of the 40th book of the Bible.

Day 276 is a third day of creation day. On the third day of creation, God completed the battle against the waters; contained the waters under heaven; and made dry ground appear and bring forth vegetation. The third day is for the completion of the battle against the waters (oppression). God began the battle against water on the second day. Day 3 is the day of the last battle. The third day is when hidden things are revealed. It is a season of revelations. It is the season for the recruitment of sustaining platforms. Both the earth and vegetation are sustainers. The third book of the Bible, Leviticus, is about the spiritual sustainers of Old Israel. The book is about the Priesthood, the Tabernacle, the Offerings, and Festivals. Those were the four pillars of Israel’s faith. Day 276 is the game-changing day in the 40th week. The third chapters of the Bible show that narratives change course in the third season. The course of events change in the third point. The story of man and the earth changed in Genesis 3. What you do today will determine how the week will go or end.

Day 276 is a Matthew 9-12 day in the 40th week. The third four chapters of the 40th book of the Bible is applicable to the third day of the 40th week of the year. Three major things happened in the third four chapters. Firstly, Jesus continued the miracles of physical restoration that began in the second four chapters; and even took it to another level. He raised the dead in Matthew 9. The third day is an anti-death season. Secondly, He called Matthew the tax collector – who was deemed unworthy – to be His disciple; and also introduced His 12 disciples in this section. He sent them to go and preach and perform miracles. Thirdly, He continued the equipping and preparation of His disciples that began in Matthew 5.

The book of Matthew (the 40th by placement) is a great illustration of a sustaining platform in the 40th week. Jesus is the Sustainer in the Book. He is like both the ground and the vegetation that God created on the third day. The earth-ground gives a place to stand on. He calls people to come to Him as in Matthew 11:28ff. The earth is like the promises of the word of God that uphold us. God’s promises give us hope. Jesus calls men to build their lives on His Word. The vegetation is like the divine principles, instructions, and wisdom, from God’s word that nourishes our lives, when we eat them. Jesus gave healing and deliverance to many in the book of Matthew. He nourished men from the teachings He gave them. “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”. Herbs are for food and medicine. The earth-ground is God’s word that shows us how much He loves us. We cannot run away from God or His love. The vegetation is God’s word that we must choose to live by. Whereas the earth-ground is there for you wherever you go, you have to choose to go to the vegetation before you can be helped by it.

In the Gospel according to Matthew, Jesus preached, taught, and healed. Many were drawn to trust Him. God makes way for sustainers in the third season. God reveals, raises, and recruits servant-leaders in the third season. Pray, today, for all misplaced persons to come into their places of purpose and destiny. In Genesis 40, the potential in Joseph began to manifest. The third day is for the manifestation of hidden power and potential.

Day 276 is a book-of-Obadiah day in the sixth 49 days. Obadaiah is the 31st book of the Bible and is applicable to the 31st day in the sixth 49 days of the year. A book-of-Obadiah-day is a day to possess your possessions. It is a day to take your place. The word ‘possess’ or ‘possessions’ is used seven times in this 21-verse book. Day 276 is a day of deliverances and a day of possessing possessions.

Day 276 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the 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 third day of the week is the third day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the third 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the third 10 books of the Bible, God sent His prophets to speak to the people. They confronted the people, warned them against judgment, comforted the faithful, and brought judgment on the arrogant. The third day is for the overthrow of the rebellious and establishment of the humble and just. How you fare in this season depends on your attitude and response to the word of God. This is a day of prophetic confrontation and judgment.

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. This is a day of manifestation. Do not be afraid to take a stand for the Lord. It is a season to come out of hiding and obscurity. It is a day to overthrow oppression and the oppressor. It is a day to establish the humble. 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, be ready to hear His voice and respond by faith. Expect breakthrough. Be willing to sacrifice. Walk by faith! This is a day of breakthrough and pushing through barriers in the week. This is a day of unveiling. It is a day of answers to prayers. Today, pray for the overthrow of dysfunctional systems in the nations and in the church. Pray that God will make a way for the manifestation of hidden platforms and producers. Pray also that the forgotten functional people and things be remembered, recognized, and restored. Today, remember that when God delivers and manifests, it is for service and production. Do not consume His mercy on your lust. On this third day of the week, the oppressor will go down and the humble shall be delivered. Happy 276th day of the year!

The Bible patterns for understanding the 275th day are 

The second day of creation narrative

The second book and chapters of the Bible

The 30th book and chapters of the Bible

The second four chapters of the 40th book of the Bible.

Day 275 is a second day of creation day in the 40th week. As a second season day, this 275th day of the year is for thwarting monopolies. On the second day of creation, God created the firmament to break through the bloc of waters and release space for breathing and all manner of operations. Oppressive monopolies rise in second seasons. Monopoly breakers also rise in second seasons. This is the day of monopoly-breakers. This is the day to deploy monopoly-breaking forces – wisdom, prayer, prophetic utterances and actions, praise, etc.

Day 275 is a Matthew 5-8 day in the 40th week. The second 4 chapters of the 40th book of the Bible are applicable to the second day of the 40th week of the year. In the second chapter of the 40th book, Matthew, In the second four chapters of Matthew, Jesus is released as a firmament and monopoly-breaker against the hindering traditional beliefs and practices of the Jews.  In the fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters, He have the revolutionary Sermon on the Mount meant to re-orientate His followers. In the 8th chapter, He thwarted the monopoly of disease, demons, and death over the lives of people. He cleansed the leper, healed the centurion’s servant, healed Simon’s mother in-law, and mothers. He stilled the raging storm of the sea, delivered two demon-possessed people. In the 8th chapter also, Jesus taught that those who want to follow Him must free themselves from the monopoly of disruptive and distracting emotions and sentiments. Day 275 is a day to break through monopolies in the mind, in the body, and the spirit. This is a day of freedom.

Day 275 is a Book of Amos day in the sixth 49 days of the year. As a 30th season day, this 275th day of the year is a day of war against wickedness. Amos is the 30th book of the Bible. In the book of Amos, God threatens to punish the wicked oppressors. 

Amos 9:1-15 says, “I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said: “Strike the doorposts, that the thresholds may shake, And break them on the heads of them all. I will slay the last of them with the sword. He who flees from them shall not get away, And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered. [2] “Though they dig into hell, From there My hand shall take them; Though they climb up to heaven, From there I will bring them down; [3] And though they hide themselves on top of Carmel, From there I will search and take them; Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea, From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them; [4] Though they go into captivity before their enemies, From there I will command the sword, And it shall slay them. I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.” [5] The Lord GOD of hosts, He who touches the earth and it melts, And all who dwell there mourn; All of it shall swell like the River, And subside like the River of Egypt. [6] He who builds His layers in the sky, And has founded His strata in the earth; Who calls for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the earth- The LORD is His name. [7] “Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to Me, O children of Israel?” says the LORD. “Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, The Philistines from Caphtor, And the Syrians from Kir? [8] “Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth; Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” Says the LORD. [9] “For surely I will command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations, As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground. [10] All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’ [11] “On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old; [12] That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,” Says the LORD who does this thing. [13] “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it. [14] I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. [15] I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them,” Says the LORD your God”.

Day 275 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 40th week. Going through any week is like taking a seven-day journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belongs 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 expresses 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! This is a day of deliverance for the just and a day of punishment for the wicked. Look to God for these. Happy 275th Day!
