Welcome to the 282nd day of the year! Day 282 is the second day of the 41st week; the second day of the sixth week in the sixth 49 days; the 37th day in the sixth 49 days.

This is a second season day. It is October 9 in a clear year and October 8 in a leap year.

The Bible patterns for understanding the 282nd day are 

The second day of creation narrative

The second book and chapters of the Bible

The 37th book and chapters of the Bible

The second 2 chapters of the 41st book of the Bible.

Day 282 is a second day of creation day in the 41st week. God destroyed the monopoly of the waters on the second day of creation by creating the firmament for space. God gives help in second seasons to battle and thwart oppressive monopolies. The second book and chapters of the Bible bear witness that God sends help, saves lives, delivers from oppression. and makes a way where there is none, in second seasons. Prayers, prophetic decrees, human connections are God’s tools for charting ways in the second season. Day 282 is a day to receive help and make a way where there is no way.

Day 282 is a Mark 4-6 day in the 41st week. The second 3 chapters of the 41st book is applicable to the second day of the 41st week. In Mark 4, Jesus told the parable of the sower. He also told other seed-parables to show the mystery of the growth of the kingdom. While at sea going to the country of the Gadarenes, Jesus and His team encountered a life-threatening storm. Jesus rebuked the storm and the sea became calm. His disciples were amazed. In Mark 5, Jesus delivered a man from demon-possession; healed a woman suffering from hemorrhage, and raised a little girl from death. He made a way where there was none. In Mark 6, Jesus was despised in Nazareth because of His background; but He still performed miracles. He fed 5000 people with very little provisions, He walked on the sea; and many people were healed by just touching Him. When Herod heard of Jesus and the mighty works He did, he concluded that John the Baptist had risen from he dead. The story of the gruesome murder of John is recorded here. In this chapter also Jesus sent His disciples, two by two, to go and preach the gospel. Day 283 is a day of great miraculous interventions; and a day to defy and break controlling powers.

Day 282 is a Book of Haggai day in the sixth 49 days of the year. The 37th book of the Bible is applicable to the 37th day in the sixth 49 days. In the book of Haggai, God’s suffered because they abandoned the rebuilding of the House of God – the House of Prayer from where mountains are moved. They abandoned the building because of a prohibiting royal decree. It seemed they could not do anything because of the king’s decree; until God began to speak to them through Haggai the prophet. The prophet called them back to work. The people returned to the work, prospered and never stopped until the house was completed. The ministries of Haggai and Zechariah became the monopoly-breaker that thwarted the king’s decree to make way for the temple to be completed. The prophetic word is a monopoly-breaker. Prayer is not to be neglected in a 37th season like Day 282. Prayer changed things for king Hezekiah in Isaiah 37. In Isaiah 37, Sennacherib rose against Hezekiah and Judah. The king cried to God and Isaiah assured him by the word of the Lord that Sennacherib would not prosper with his plans. 

In a 37th season like Day 282, God thwarts the plans of the wicked to help those who trust in Him. In Genesis 37, Joseph’s brothers conspired against him; to terminate his journey to destiny. God intervened and change their plans. They sold him into slavery instead. This is a day to call upon the one who makes a way where there is no way. This is a day to seek God’s help and prophetic intervention. The enemy seeks to slay the godly in this season but with intervention,he will not succeed.

Day 282 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 41st week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The second day of the week is the second day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the second 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the second 10 books of the Bible, God wanted the kings of Israel to trust Him and lead the nation in the same direction. Beginning with Solomon, the kings of Israel began to patronize Idols. Idol worship became official in the northern kingdom following the split. Judah followed. Prophets rose in this season to call the nation back to God. Eventually, the two kingdoms went into captivity – the north fell to Assyria; and the south to the Babylonians. The Jews did return from captivity after 70 years. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) show that God is the Way-Maker; and that loss of faith in God is prelude to the loss of all things in the second season; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph in the second season by the power and wisdom of God no matter what happens.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy against evil controlling powers and overthrow them by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him! Today, lift your voice against conspiracies and oppressive monopolies. Lift your voice against forces that have risen to stop you. Happy 282nd day! 

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born on this day for a good reason. It’s about who you are and the work you came to do on earth. Ecclesiastes 3 reveals there is a time to be born. Whatever the circumstances of birth may be, people are born in their time. You couldn’t have come into the world on a better day. This is your day! Light was born to overthrow darkness. You were born on this day to tackle problems associated with this day. This is a day of finding a way where there’s no way. This is a day of war against monopolies and space-blockers. You were born for that battle. You were born for intervention to make a way where there is none. How you do this work depends on your occupation or preoccupation. The kingdom of darkness will labour to move you out of your ordination by making you a victim or agent of oppression. The key to your success or victory is to align with God, who is the Saviour-General and Way- maker. You must learn to help others by leaning on the power and wisdom of God. Otherwise, you will just be another struggler. Today give thanks to God for your life and pray for grace to help and deliver people from the power of evil monopolies. Happy birthday!

Day 281: The Mystery of October 8

Welcome to the 281st day of the year! Day 281 is the first day of the 41st week of the year; the first day of the sixth week in the sixth 49 days; the 36th day in the sixth 49 days of the year.  Day 281 is October 8 in a clear year and October 7 in a leap year. 

The Bible patterns for understanding the 281st day are 

The first day of creation narrative

The first book and chapters of the Bible

The 36th book and chapters of the Bible

The first 3 chapters of the 41st book of the Bible.

Day 281 is a first day of creation day in the 41st week of the year. On the first day of creation, God released light against prevailing darkness by the Word of His mouth; “and there was light”. He divided the light from the darkness. He called the light day; and called the darkness night. On the first day of creation, God manifested as Light; because God is Light and there is no darkness in Him. As a first-season day, this is a day of war between light against darkness – in which light triumphs. Light reveals reality but Darkness hides reality. Day 281 is for reenacting the first day of creation.  On this earth today, light will triumph over darkness; and it will happen speedily; because God also created time (evening-and-morning-day-and-night sequence) on the first day. Today, stand on the watch and decree that light overtakes darkness; then, get in the arena and take a stand against darkness. Day 281 is a day of light overcoming darkness. The opposite must not happen. 

Day 281 is a Mark 1-3 day in the 41st week. The first 3 chapters of the 41st book of the Bible are applicable to the first day of the 41st week. The opening verse of Mark 1 says the book is about “the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ”. In the first chapter of the 41st book, Jesus is revealed. John spoke about Him. The Voice from Heaven declared Him to be the son of God; the miraculous works He did testified He is the son of God. Those He healed spoke about Him. His authoritative teaching and words distinguished Him among teachers. Even the demons acknowledged Him. There was so much light around Him that He could not be hidden. Even when He escaped to deserted places, “they came to Him from every direction”. On the other hand, the Light shining through Him fought darkness and delivered many from the frustrating power of spiritual darkness. Where there is light, the truth cannot be hidden; and people cannot be bound and restrained by darkness. 

The first chapter of Mark made no room for the genealogy or birth of Jesus Christ. It devoted only 13 verses to the forerunner ministry of John and the baptism and temptations of Jesus. The 41st book of the Bible is about many things happening at the same time. It is ‘good news in a hurry’. The word ‘immediately’ is used in 11 verses in the first two chapters of the book. There are 8 accounts of healing and physical restoration in the first 3 chapters; and in two of those accounts, He healed many. Mark 1:32-34 says, “At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. [33] And the whole city was gathered together at the door. [34] Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him”. Mark 3:9-11 says, “So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him. [10] For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him. [11] And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, “You are the Son of God.”

Day 281 is a book of Zephaniah season in the sixth 49 days of the year. Zephaniah is the 36th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 36th day in the sixth 49 days of the year. The book of Zephaniah is God’s declaration of war against Darkness. God is Light and Zephaniah is about the day of the Lord; or the Day of Light. In this book, God declares war against darkness in men and on the earth. 

Zephaniah 1:14-18 says, “The great day of the LORD is near; It is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the LORD is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out. [15] That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, [16] A day of trumpet and alarm Against the fortified cities And against the high towers. [17] “I will bring distress upon men, And they shall walk like blind men, Because they have sinned against the LORD; Their blood shall be poured out like dust, And their flesh like refuse.” [18] Neither their silver nor their gold Shall be able to deliver them In the day of the LORD’s wrath; But the whole land shall be devoured By the fire of His jealousy, For He will make speedy riddance of all those who dwell in the land”. 

God says in Zephaniah 2:8-13, “I have heard the reproach of Moab, And the insults of the people of Ammon, With which they have reproached My people, And made arrogant threats against their borders. [9] Therefore, as I live,” Says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “Surely Moab shall be like Sodom, And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah- Overrun with weeds and saltpits, And a perpetual desolation. The residue of My people shall plunder them, And the remnant of My people shall possess them.” [10] This they shall have for their pride, Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats Against the people of the LORD of hosts. [11] The LORD will be awesome to them, For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth; People shall worship Him, Each one from his place, Indeed all the shores of the nations. [12] “You Ethiopians also, You shall be slain by My sword.” [13] And He will stretch out His hand against the north, Destroy Assyria, And make Nineveh a desolation, As dry as the wilderness”. 

Zephaniah 3:8 says, “Therefore wait for Me,” says the LORD, “Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations To My assembly of kingdoms, To pour on them My indignation, All My fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured With the fire of My jealousy”.

This is a day to seek God through prayer and repentance.

Zephaniah 2:1-3 says,  “Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O undesirable nation, [2] Before the decree is issued, Or the day passes like chaff, Before the LORD’s fierce anger comes upon you, Before the day of the LORD’s anger comes upon you! [3] Seek the LORD, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden In the day of the LORD’s anger”.

Although God vowed to destroy in the book of Zephaniah, He ended the book with promises of restoration. Zephaniah 3:14-20 says, “Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! [15] The LORD has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more. [16] In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. [17] The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” [18] “I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly, Who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden. [19] Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame, And gather those who were driven out; I will appoint them for praise and fame In every land where they were put to shame. [20] At that time I will bring you back, Even at the time I gather you; For I will give you fame and praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I return your captives before your eyes,” Says the LORD”.

Day 281 is also a 36th chapters of the Bible day in the sixth 49 days of the year. The 36th chapters reveal that the 36th day is a day of both darkness and light; problems and solutions. Genesis 36 is given to Esau the father of Edomites – the enemies of Israel. In Exodus 36, God called Bezaleel and his company and kind to undertake the work of the tabernacle. In Numbers 36, Moses solved the problem that could arise from the daughters of Zelophehad marrying outside the tribe of Manasseh. Jerusalem and Judah fell to Babylon in Second Chronicles 36; but the chapter ended with the Proclamation of Cyrus allowing the Jews to return and rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem. In Job 36, Elihu proclaims the majesty of God – the Majesty of Light. Psalm 36 opens with the works of the wicked, moved on to the mercies of God, and ends with “Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. [12] There the workers of iniquity have fallen; They have been cast down and are not able to rise”. In Isaiah 36, the king of Assyria threatened Judah and king Hezekiah. That was darkness rising over Judah. In Jeremiah 36, king Jehoiakim burnt Jeremiah’s scroll after hearing the contents of the scroll read to him. Jeremiah rewrote the words of the scroll. The king wanted to turn off the light from God’s word; but Jeremiah brought back the light. The king brought curses upon himself and his family by his arrogance. On this 281st day, darkness may rise; but light will prevail.

Day 281 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 41st 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 first day of the week is the beginning of the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the first 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the first 10 books of the Bible, God revealed Himself as Creator and Caretaker. He chose those who aligned with His purpose for blessings; and reserved judgment for those who disregard Him. The first 10 books began with the creation and fall of the man in the image and likeness of God; and ended with the emergence of the man after God’s heart sitting on the throne of God’s choice nation. David was absolutely loyal to God. He gave himself for whatever God wanted. This is a day of aligning with God and becoming a man (woman) after His heart.

DECREE AND DECLARE : God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the collapse and end of expressions and manifestations of darkness in your  life and world. Decree that expressions of light will triumph in this first day of the week. Today, make a quality decision to receive the word of the Lord and act on it without fear or doubts. Make a quality decision to walk in unconditional love. This is a day of sacrificial (tough) love. Today, take time to hear from God. Do not act without His direction. Follow what He says or shows. Today, seek the Lord against disasters in the week as you come into alignment. Call upon Him for mercy. Today, take sides with the Light against darkness. Do not collaborate with darkness or stand in the way of light. Happy 281st day!

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born on this day for a reason. The day you were born says a lot about who you are and why you are here. You were born on this day because the day ordered and cried for you. You were chosen for this day because you are one of God’s solutions to problems associated with this day. This is a day when darkness seeks to overtake men. This is a day when the Light of God’s presence is needed to drive away the darkness from wickedness. You came into the world on this day because you are an agent of Light. You are a warrior of righteousness. The kingdom of darkness will want you to be her victim or agent. The evil one will want to turn off or neutralize your light and positive influence.. That way, you will not be a threat to the evil kingdom and will not fulfill your mission on earth. The secret of power in your life is to align yourself with God – the Light and refuse to partner or cooperate with darkness. His Presence is the Answer to darkness. Today, give thanks to God for your life and renew your commitment to Him. Happy birthday!

Day 280: The Mystery of October 7

By

Welcome to the 280th day of the year! Day 280 is the seventh and last day of the 40th week; the seventh day of the fifth week in the sixth 49 days; and the 35th day in the sixth 49 days. Day 280 is October 7 in a clear year and October 6 in a leap year. 

Completing this day means you have completed 40 weeks in this year. You have arrived! Whatever needs to happen for the other things to happen (in the year) has happened. Wait and watch for the good news! The rest of the year is for entering into the purpose of the year’s journey.

The Bible patterns for understanding the 280th day are 

The 7th day of creation narrative

The 7th book and chapters of the Bible

The 35th book and chapters of the Bible

The 7th four chapters (25-28) of the 40th book of the Bible.

Day 280 is a seventh day of creation day. On the seventh day of creation, God ended his work and rested; not for fatigue but for recess. That means He deliberately and intentionally put a stop to His work. He said to Himself and His work, “It is over”. The seventh day is a blessed holy day of rest; rest from work and rest from suffering. This is a season to say ‘Stop’ to work and suffering. God decrees physical, mental, and emotional rest in the seventh season because that is the season the enemy fires men with unrest or restlessness. In this season, we want to push on, and charge, into unfinished works of the past season; and have anxiety for the next season. It is a season to go into rest – thrusting the present and the past and the future into God’s hands; and also trusting Him to take care. Jesus relieved people of their sufferings on the Sabbath (the seventh day). God commanded Israel to cease from work on the Sabbath, to release slaves and debtors,  and let fields lie fallow in the seventh year. The seventh is a season to go into rest through faith. 

God also blessed the seventh day and made it holy (separate from other days). No other day of creation is so blessed or set apart. This is the only day God did no work but just rested. This is the only day God blessed. This is the only day God sanctified (made holy). He even guided those who assigned chapter numbers to Bible narratives to separate the seventh day narrative from the Genesis 1 narrative. There is also no mention of morning or evening in this narrative. God set this day apart for Himself. It is His own day. It is a day to celebrate God. It is the day He ended His work. It is the day God rested from His work. It is the day God blessed and sanctified for Himself. The reason God set this day apart is because the enemy wants to make the seventh season a season of abominable and sacrilegious acts. Abominations happening in a seventh season can turn the seventh season into a season of divine judgments; as in the seventh book of the Bible, Judges. The seventh book and chapters of the Bible reveal that situations requiring both judgment and intervention arise in the season.

Day 280 is a book-of-Habakkuk day in the sixth 49 days. Habakkuk is the 35th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 35th day in the sixth 49 days of the year. The book of Habakkuk is a Prophet’s complaint to God about the wrong things happening in the land; and God’s answer to him about using a wicked and hostile nation to judge the wickedness in the land. That answer bothered the prophet and led him to protest further. He wondered why God could justifiably use an ungodly nation to punish His own people. 

In the 35th season, you may see enough abomination to vex your soul and make you complain or cry out to God. It is a season to purge abominations. In Genesis 35, Jacob told his family to rid themselves of foreign gods. In the same Genesis 35, Reuben slept with his father’s concubine and defiled his bed. In the season of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against state-sponsored prayer and Bible reading in public schools. At the beginning of the 35th seven years of the United States, under the Obama administration, the U.S Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in the United States. The 35th season is a time to overthrow abominations. It is a time to cry out to God against abominations.

Day 280 is a blessed day. Let the day throw out and sink every accursed thing. It is a holy day; let the day reject unholiness. It is a day of rest. Let the day bring an end to unrest.

Day 280 is a Matthew 25-28 day in the 40th week. The 7th four chapters of the 40th book of the Bible are applicable to the 7th day of the 40th week of the year. In Matthew 25, Jesus told three parables – the foolish and wise virgins, the talents, and the judgment of the nations. They are parables about judgment in relation to what we do with time, resources, and people. They are parables about ‘the end’. Matthew 26 tells us about the last interactions of Jesus before His crucifixion – the plot to kill him, the anointing at Bethany, the betrayal, the last supper, the arrest, first trial, and Peter’s denial. Matthew 27 is about the trial of Jesus before Pilate, His crucifixion, and His burial. Matthew 28 is about the resurrection of Jesus and the Great Commission. The seventh 4 chapters of the 40th book reveal things that can happen on the seventh day of the 40th week. It is a day of examination and evaluation concerning the use of time, resources, and attitude to people in distress. It is a day of unrest because of injustice and sacrilege. It is also a day of vindication for the righteous. 

Day 280 is a Hebrews – Revelation day in the 40th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week also 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 seventh day of the week is the third and last day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the third nine books of the New Testament. Today is a day of the last battle and ultimate triumph in the 40th week. The third 9 books of the N.T are books of correction, recovery, and restoration. 

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, raise a cry against wickedness; trust in the Lord, hope in Him, and take refuge in His grace and mercy. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. This is a day of “IT IS DONE”. Today, you will have pleasure by seeking the pleasure of God. Today, make it priority to honor God. Obey Him. If you missed it anywhere, repent and return to God. This is a day to go back to Bethel. Have a happy 280th day!

Today, stay focused on doing God’s will. Do not fear the wrath of men. Do not judge things by how they appear. Make it a day of intervention. Help those who need help.

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born on this day for a reason. You were born to fill a vacuum and vacancy associated with this day. You were born on this day to be part of God’s answer to problems that are part of this day. As light is needed in a season of darkness, you were born on the day you are needed in the world. Day 280 is a day of intervention when saviors are needed. Narratives in the seventh book and chapters of the Bible are stories of trouble and intervention or lack of intervention. Jesus intervened in the lives of distressed people on the seventh day of the week (Sabbath). You were born to deliver people from troubles. You were born to bring people into rest. Though you were born to save people from their troubles, the evil one will want to overwhelm you with troubles or make you an agent or channel of troubles. The kingdom of darkness will do everything to keep you far away from entering into the purpose of your existence. Do not give in to that. Seek God earnestly for troubles in your life. They are distractions. Refuse to be used of the evil one to feed troubles into the lives of people. Today, give thanks to God for your life.and determine to honor Him by pursuing His pleasure in all things. Let His love and compassion for men fill your heart. Happy birthday!

Day 279: the Mystery of October 6

By
Nkem Okemiri

Day 279 is the sixth day of the 40th week; the sixth day of the fifth week in the sixth 49 days of the year; the 34th day in the sixth 49 days. Day 279 is October 6 in a clear year and October 5 in a leap year. This is the sixth day of tenth month.

The Bible patterns for understanding the 279th day are 

The 6th day of creation narrative

The 6th book and chapters of the Bible

The 34th book and chapters of the Bible

The 6th four chapters (21-24) of the 40th book of the Bible.

Day 279 is a sixth day of creation day. It is a sixth-season day. What does that imply? It is the day of God’s elect. God made man in His image on the sixth day of creation – after He had created the land animals. He made man to rule and have dominion. He made man the heir of creation. This is the day to remember that you are made in the image of God to represent Him on earth. You are to rule and dominate in His name. You are to things His way. Day 279 is a day of conflict between the Image of God and the beasts and creeping things of the earth. It is a day to subdue, have dominion, and rule in the name of the Lord.

The sixth chapter of Matthew, the 40th book of the Bible, points us to our Father; and shows how we should live as God’s children – as His offspring bearing His image. The  word ‘Father’ is used in 57 verses in the entire book of Matthew; but it is used 12 times in the sixth chapter alone. God seeks His image in men in the sixth season. As your Father, you must do all things to please Him. He sees what we do in the secret but rewards openly. He must be the focus of all piety. We must pray to Him and repose confidence in Him to care for us and meet our needs. We must seek the advancement of His kingdom on earth rather than be preoccupied with our needs. He meets our needs as we pursue His pleasure.

Day 279 is a Matthew 21-24 day in the 40th week. The 6th four chapters of the 40th book are applicable to the sixth day of the 40th week of the year. In Matthew 21, Jesus entered Jesus entered Jerusalem like a king but riding on a donkey. Here, He cleansed the temple, cursed the fruitless fig tree, told the parable of the two sons, and of the wicked vine-dressers. In the Matthew 22, Jesus told the parable of the wedding guests; and answered questions about paying taxes to Caesar, resurrection, and about the First Commandment. He answered their questions but they couldn’t answer His own. In Matthew 23, Jesus denounced the Scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy and superficiality. In Matthew 24, Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem; and answered questions about His Second Coming and about the end of the age. Day 279 is a day of evaluation and judgment. It is a day of triumph for the righteous and a day of woes for the wicked.

Day 279 is a book-of-Nahum day in the sixth 49 days of the year. Nahum is the 34th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 34th day in sixth 49 days of the year. Nahum prophesied judgment against Nineveh. The 34th season is a season of divine reactions against wickedness and against people that are out of alignment with His nature, ways, and purposes. This is because the flesh reaches the peak of its manifestation in the 34th season. In 1934 (April-May), there was a significant dust storms in the United States. It was a prophetic alarm concerning the rising of an oppressive man of dust. On August 2, 1934, Adolph Hitler became Leader and Chancellor of Germany following the death of President Hindenburg. He had great influence on Benito Mussolini, the Fascist Leader of Italy. In the 34th seven years of the United States, the Obama administration saw the violent ends of both Osama bin Laden and Muammar Ghaddafi. The 34th President of the United States was Dwight Eisenhower; and he positioned his administration towards containment of the spread of communism in the world. Day 279 is a day to war against wickedness.

Day 279 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 40th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The sixth day of the week is the second day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the second nine books of the New Testament. Today is a day to triumph in warfare through instructions. The second 9 books of the N.T are mentoring books. The pastoral epistles of Paul are in this section. This section of the Bible is for “the preparation of the man of God”.

DECREE AND DECLARE God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. Today, show that your primary allegiance is to the God of Israel. You are made in the image and likeness of God. This is a day to commemorate and relive the creation of man in the image and likeness of God. Today, make your way back to the Lord. Even if you are not a backslider, you can still get closer to the goal of expressing the Lord – as His image and likeness. Today, stand out for God as His representative and look into your life, and look around, for things and areas that need to be conformed to God’s standards. Today, pray that the kingdom comes, by the word of God, to establish God’s will in your life, family, church, community, nation; and in the nations of the world. Today, on this sixth day of the 40th week, have a happy and tremendously fruitful day! Today, stand at the gate of time against the wicked and wickedness. Let there be an emergence of agents of God who will stand against the wicked and wickedness. Happy 279th day! 

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born on this day for a reason. You came into the world with an identity and a purpose and those are related to the day you were born. You were born to fill a vacuum as part of God’s solution to problems associated with the day you were born. You were born for God because this is a day of visitation against wickedness and rebellion. You were born to love righteousness and hate wickedness. You were born to express the love and wisdom and power of God. The kingdom of darkness will labour to afflict you with wickedness or to make you an agent of wickedness. The commitment of the evil one is to see that you do not fulfill the purpose for which you are on earth. Do not give in to that. Get addicted to the word of God. Live by it unreservedly. You are destined to prosper through strict adherence to divine instructions. Today, give thanks to God for your life and commit to expressing Him in your life. Happy birthday!

Day 278: The Mystery of October 5

By

Welcome to the 278th day of the year! Day 278 is the fifth day of the 40th week; the fifth day of the fifth week in the sixth 49 days; the 33rd day in the sixth 49 days. This is a core fifth-season day. Day 278 is October 5 in a clear year and October 4 in a leap year. 

The Bible patterns for understanding the 278th day are 

The fifth day of creation narrative

The fifth book and fifth chapters of the Bible

The 33rd book and chapters of the Bible

The fifth four chapters (17-20) of the 40th book of the Bible.

Day 278 is a fifth day of creation day in the 40th week. On the fifth day of creation, God began to make living (moving) creatures. He made sea creatures and the birds of the air. Flesh and blood, movement, voice sounds, sensory perception, and blessings, began on that day. The creatures of the fifth day are creatures of balance. The birds have wings and the seas creatures have fins. The fifth season is for the full expression of life; and in this season, the evil one seeks to hinder the full expression of life through lack, bondage, disease, death, and barrenness; but God intervenes with healing, deliverance, and provisions. Day 278 is a day to insist that God’s intention for the fifth season will be established. 

Day 278 is a Matthew 17-20 day in the 40th week. The fifth four chapters of the 40th book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 40th week. In Mathew 17, Jesus was transfigured before His three inner disciples and received the Father’s affirming Voice from heaven. In the same chapter, Peter fetched silver coins from the mouth a fish for taxes – as Jesus directed. There, also, He cast out a foul spirit of epilepsy from a boy. This was the beginning of a new day in the ministry of Jesus. In chapter 18, Jesus taught conflict resolution and forgiveness. In chapter 19, He dealt with divorce, remarriage, and self-denial. In Matthew 20, Jesus spoke of grace, servant-leadership as the kingdom-ideal. In this chapter, He healed two blind men. The fifth season is a season of looking beneath the surface. It is a season of redefining and interpreting things spiritually – from God’s perspective. Day 278 is a day to put self behind others. It is a day of cut-off the flesh; because ‘the flesh’ is a hindrance to God’s purposes in the fifth season.

In the fifth chapter of the fortieth book of the Bible, Jesus, following the Beatitudes, calls His disciples to go deeper and higher than the Scribes and Pharisees, in their walk with God. In Matthew 5:20, Jesus said, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven”. The fifth season is a time to take a deeper look at things. It is a time to go beyond and under the ‘outer coverings’. 

In the fifth chapter of the 40th book, the blessings are not material things but the virtues and values; the salt and light are people; sin begins with thought and intentions; the oppressor is the weaker one; we are to see men and deal with them as God does. The fifth season is a time to see yourself as God sees you; not as you appear to yourself or to men. 

In Genesis 40, though Joseph was in prison as a slave, he saw himself as God’s agent and representative in Egypt. He knew the people around him could access God through him. On this 278th day of the year, endeavor to look at all people and things with the eyes of God.

Day 278 is a book-of-Micah day in the sixth 49 days. Micah is the 33rd book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 33rd day in the sixth seven weeks (or sixth 49 days) of the year. It is a day to pursue righteousness and justice rather than empty religion. It is a season to quit superficiality and get deep with God. The fifth season is a time to go deep and high. God created fish to swim deep and birds to fly on the fifth day. He made them to have wings and fins of equity and balance.

Today is a Matthew – Galatians day in the week. It is a day of the compassionate intervention of God. Every week is like a journey through the Bible having an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong 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 express the 27 books of the New Testament. The fifth day of the week is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the first nine books of the New Testament. The first 9 books of the NT are about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church. The books are about the love and grace of God granting salvation and justification to humanity by faith. This is a day to enter experientially into the New Testament side of the week. It is a day of answers to prayers, fulfillment of prophecies, and delivery of promises. The New Testament side is the spiritual and deeper side. The New Testament side is the side of manifestation. The old has passed away; and the new has begun. Dreams for the week are expected to come to pass and promises should be fulfilled. Expect deliverance and divine intervention.

DECREE AND DECLARE: At creation, God spoke His will into each day. He made us in His image and likeness; and expects us to release His will into each day.  Decree this day that the flesh will not overtake the spirit in your life, family,, organizations, and nation. Decree a change in the week and declare that today is the beginning of the New Testament side of the 33rd week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God with us) takes over. As a New Testament type day, decree that the love of God will overtake human error and failure. Today, submit to the spirit against the flesh. Walk in the spirit and make no room for the flesh. The fifth season is a season of giving spiritual interpretations to earthly manifestations. Today, make it your watchword to walk in the spirit and obey God’s Word. Walking in the spirit is the key to gaining all. Birds (representing the spirit) fly above and eat from the land, the sea, and the air. Today, cry out to God against oppression and for the pains in your life. Speak out also. Trust Him to intervene in your affairs and in the affairs of people around you. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Today, put yourself on the side of blessing by choosing obedience instead of curses by choosing disobedience. Today, see yourself, everyone else, and everything else, as God does. It’s what He says or thinks that counts in the fifth season. Happy 278th day.

BORN ON THIS DAY? God saw to it that you manifested on earth on this day. You were born in this season for a reason. Although you came into this world as a little baby, you were born on this day to be part of the Creator’s solution to problems associated with this day. Light is for the time of darkness. Heater is for the time of cold. You and the other people born on this day were chosen for this day because the world needs you on this day. It would seem there was a cry from this day to bring you in. You were born in this season because the season placed order and cried out for you. This is a day of freedom and full expression of life when the kingdom of darkness seeks to limit full expression of life through lack, scarcity, barrenness, disease, disasters and death. You were born to resist forces that work against the full expression of life. How you do this will depend on your field of endeavour. Since you are set against the enemies of abundant life, the kingdom of darkness will want to keep you from enjoying life to the full. Do not given to that. True life is in Christ Jesus. Today, give thanks to God for your life and press into the life and freedom that is in Christ. Happy birthday!

Day 277: The Mystery of October 4

Welcome to the 277th day of the year. Day 277 is the fourth day of the 40th week. It is the fourth day of the fifth week in the sixth 49 days; and the 32nd day in the sixth 49 days. Day 277 is October 4 in a clear year and October 3 in a leap year. 

The Bible patterns for understanding the 277th day are 

The fourth day of creation narrative

The fourth book and chapters of the Bible

The 32nd book and chapters of the Bible

The fourth four chapters (13-16) of the 40th book of the Bible.

Day 277 is a fourth day of creation day in the 40th week of the year. God made luminaries (sun, moon, and stars) on the fourth day of creation to do four things: give light, divide the darkness from the light, rule over day and night, and regulate seasons. Day 277 is a day to invoke light against the darkness that brings confusion, deception, fear, and stumbling. As a fourth season day, the 277th day is a season when you must dominate darkness with light; to keep darkness from having sway. Light gives direction and brings clarity and warmth. This is a day of war against confusion and disorganisation. It is a day to fight for order. This is the bridge-day in the week and you to navigate carefully.

Day 277 is a book-of-Jonah-day in the sixth 49 days of the year. As a book-of-Jonah day, it is a season to guard against mental darkness and deception. God had commanded Jonah to go and proclaim His judgment against the land to the people; so that the darkness of divine judgment will not overtake them. Jonah was deceived to think he could run away from the presence of God. Instead of going to Nineveh as God commanded him, he boarded a ship to Tarshish in rebellion. He chose alignment with death and destruction. He ran into a needless trouble. As a book-of-Jonah-day in the sixth 49 days, Day 277 is a season to watch against shooting yourself in the foot. It is a season to turn from rebellion against the word of God. It is a season to ensure alignment with the light of divine counsel. Jonah eventually went to Nineveh and preached to the people. His message gave light to the people and delivered them from darkness. He got angry that God did not destroy the people. Jonah’s book is placed 32nd in the Bible because it shows how out-of-alignnent Jonah was with the 32nd season. This is a day to intercede for sinners before God as Moses did in Exodus 32 not a day to desire judgment.

Day 277 is a Matthew 13-16 day in the 40th week. The fourth four chapters of the 40th book of the Bible are applicable to the fourth day of the 40th week. This section of he book opened with seven parables that the disciples needed light from Jesus to understand. Day 277 is a day of answers to tough things and questions. It is a day of releasing light (knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and good works) to counter the works of darkness. The story of the imprisonment and death of John the Baptist is recorded in this section of the book of Matthew.. In this section, also, it is recorded twice that Jesus fed multitudes with very little provisions. In Matthew 16, Peter got it right about the identity of Jesus but got it wrong in the matter of His death. The enemy waits to confuse and deceive in this season. Jesus was not deceived by Peter’s stand. He knew Peter was under the influence of Satan.

In the 40th week, people are tempted to hurt themselves through unbelief and rejection of God’s word or God’s plan for their lives. Rejection of divine counsel in the 40th season leads to misery and frustration. In the fourth chapter of the 40th book, Jesus was tempted, thrice, to rebel against Divine Counsel for His life and ministry. Satan hoped to deceive Him to doubt God’s revelation and declaration of His sonship by trying to prove it. He wanted Him to do something to prove He is the Son of God instead of just believing the Voice and Word that came to Him. He overcame the tempter through the light from the written word of God. He Himself is the Light of the world. Day 277 is a day to be sensitive in the spirit and watch against the tempter. Aaron was not sensitive in Exodus 32.

Day 277 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 40th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The fourth day of the week is the day closing the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the last nine books of the Old Testament. Today is the bridge-day leading to the New Testament side of the 40th week. What you do with this day determines whether you will, experientially, step into the New Testament side of the week or not. The books of ‘the minor prophets’ are part of the last 9 books of the O.T. They are about judgment and promises of restoration. Today is a day of the dominion of the Voice of God in the nations. Let His Voice also dominate in your life. Cross this bridge of Day 277 carefully.

DECREE AND DECLARE : God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, raise your voice against wickedness and oppression wherever it is found. Prophesy! Prophesy!! Prophesy!!! Today, also pray to be more sensitive in the spirit; to pick up necessary signals that would help you triumph over the enemy and keep darkness away. Today, pray to be delivered from falling into temptation. Pray to be preoccupied with the person of God; and to be focused on His mandate and His revealed purpose for your life. Be careful to weigh every decision in light of God’s purpose for your life; and God’s purpose for the time. Today, proclaim an end to woes and declare the dawn of a new day. Happy 277th day!

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason. God chose you, with others who were also born on this day, for this day. You are part of God’s solution to problems associated with this day. God wants this day be a day of order, clarity and the dominion of light. He wants you to be part of His army that will stand against confusion, deception, disorganization and disorder. The challenge is that the kingdom of darkness will want you to be deceived and live in confusion. The evil one will want to overrun your life with (mental) darkness. The evil one will want you to be a victim of what you came to destroy. The evil one wants to became an agent of the forces you came to fight. What is the way out? Stick the word of God and to the ways of God. Never do things your own natural way. Become a disciple of the Wisdom of God. Fill your life with light from God’s Word. Today, give thanks to God for your life and turn your heart towards divine wisdom. Happy birthday!

Day 223: The Mystery of August 11

Welcome to the 223rd day of the year! Day 223 is the sixth day of the 32nd week; the sixth day of the fourth week in the fifth 49 days; the 27th day in the fifth 49 days. Day 223 is a sixth season day. It is August 11 in a Clear Year and August 10 in a Leap Year. The Bible patterns for understanding Day 223 are

The sixth day of creation narrative

The sixth book and chapters of the Bible

The 27th book of the Bible

The sixth portion of the Jonah story in the 32nd book of the Bible.

Day 223 is a sixth day of creation day. On the sixth day of creation, God made land animals. On the same day, He made man (and woman) in His image and likeness. He authorized man to rule the earth and have dominion over the other creatures of the fifth and sixth days. He revealed to man the provision He had made for food in vegetation. It is a day to demonstrate allegiance to the Lord through commitment to His Word. The sixth season is when the servant of the Lord stands out. God made man in His image on the sixth day of creation. In the sixth season, God seeks His image on earth and intends the earth to be a representative platform for good. It is a season of conflict and battle to establish God’s will on earth; and in the lives of individuals. It is a season to subdue and rule anything that is not in alignment with God’s purposes. It is a season to beat down forces that rise up to rebel against the knowledge and wisdom of God. Day 223 is a day to express God. It is a season to live that God may be seen. It is a season for a man to reveal God on earth.

Day 223 is a Jonah 4:1-5 day. The sixth section of the 32nd book of the Bible is applicable to the sixth day of the 32nd week. Jonah 4:1-5 says, “But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry. [2] So he prayed to the LORD, and said, “Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm. [3] Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!” [4] Then the LORD said, “Is it right for you to be angry?” [5] So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city”.

In this section of the book, Jonah behaved unlike a man made in the image and likeness. He was displeased that Nineveh responded to the Voice of God and came into alignment with God. He was angry when God was happy and rejoicing. He wanted to die because Nineveh turned to God. He only wanted to see Nineveh destroyed. The sixth season is a time to express the Creator’s thoughts.

Day 223 is a book of Daniel day in the fifth 49 days of the year. The 27th book of the Bible, Daniel, is applicable to the 27th day of the fifth 49 days of the year! The book of Daniel can be divided into two broad parts: the first is unveiling of the God of the Hebrews to Babylonians and Medo-Persians. This section also unveils the Hebrew young men and their faith in God. They stood for their God, served the kings, solved problems for the kings, guided them, and also suffered for their faith in God.  In the book of Daniel, the God of Israel demonstrated His power to protect, preserve, and prosper those who trust in Him. He showed Himself as the Giver of Knowledge and wisdom, the Author of Dreams and mysteries; and Revealer of secrets, the One who exalts the humble and abases the proud, and the Great Preserver Who ca save from every situation. The second broad section of the book of Daniel (7-12) cover the revelations of Daniel concerning Israel, the nations, and the Kingdom of God. The book of Daniel shows the God is Sovereign and will win at the end. Day 223 is the day of the sovereignty of God. This is that day in which God fights for those who trust in Him against those who disregard Him.

Day 223 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 32nd week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The sixth day of the week is the second day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the second nine books of the New Testament. Day 223 is a day to thrive through instructions. The second 9 books of the N.T are mentoring books. The pastoral epistles of Paul are in this section. This section of the Bible is for “the preparation of the man of God”.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. Today, show that your primary allegiance is to the God of Israel. You are made in the image and likeness of God. This is a day to commemorate and relive the creation of man in the image and likeness of God. Today, make your way back to the Lord. Even if you’re not a backslider, you can still get closer to the Lord. Today, stand out for God as His representative and look into your life, and look around, for things and areas that need to be conformed to God’s standards. Happy 223rd day! 

Today, pray that the kingdom comes, by the word of God, to establish God’s will in your life, family, church, community, nation; and in the nations of the world. Today, on this sixth day of the 32nd week, do not set yourself against God as Israel did in Exodus 32, as Sennacherib did in Second Chronicles 32, or as Jonah did when he ran from God in the 32nd book of the Bible. This is a day of full alignment with God. Happy 223rd day.

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in a season for a reason. You were designed to arrive the world of men on this day because of your identity and purpose. You came in your time.

Day 222: The Mystery of August 10

Welcome to the 222nd day of the Year! Day 222 is the fifth day of the 32nd week; the fifth day of the fourth week in the fifth 49 days; the 26th day in the fifth 49 days of the year. It is August 10 in a Clear Year and August 9 in a Leap Year. Day 222 is a fifth season day. It is a ‘first time’ day in the week. 

The Bible patterns for understanding Day 222 are

The fifth day of creation narrative.

The 26th book and chapters of the Bible

The fifth section of the 32nd book of the Bible

Day 222 is a fifth day of creation day in the 32nd week. Sea creatures and birds of the air did not exist till the fifth day of crestion. God began the creation of flesh and blood on the fifth day; and also did not bless creation until the fifth day. It was the beginning of movement, blessings, flesh and blood creatures, voice sounds, and sensory perception. The fifth (or 26th) day is for living by the Word and the Spirit. This does not mean there are days we do not need to live by the Word and the Spirit. We need clothes all the time; but there are seasons we need more clothing than usual. The key to prospering in the fifth season is to be driven by the Word and the Spirit. It is a season to be driven by God through His Word and His Spirit. 

Job 32 was a new beginning in the book of Job. Job and his three friends stopped speaking and a new Voice, Elihu, emerged. In Job 32, Elihu spoke to Job by the inspiration of the Almighty. Job 32:6-9 says, “So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said: “I am young in years, and you are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And dared not declare my opinion to you. [7] I said, ‘Age should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’ [8] But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding. [9] Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand justice”.

This is a Job 32 day in the 32nd week. It is a day of New beginnings. Elihu was the Voice preceding change in the book. He was the forerunner for God in the book. Job 32 is like the beginning of the New Testament side of Jobs story when the old voices ceased and a new Voice began to speak and covered six chapters (32-37).

Day 222 is a Jonah 3:5-10 say in the 32nd week.The fifth section of the 32nd book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 32nd week. In the 32nd book of the Bible, Jonah eventually went to Nineveh by the Word of the Lord and by the Spirit of the Lord. The people responded positively to the Word of God.

Jonah 3:5-10 says, “So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. [6] Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. [7] And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. [8] But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. [9] Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish? [10] Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.”

When he boarded the ship to Tarshish, it was not by the Word of the Lord. After the fish vomited him, he learnt to move by the word of the Lord. When Jonah spoke to the people, they turned to God with fasting. Their fasting and repentance was a response to the Word and Spirit of God. Day 222 is a day to tune in to the frequency of the Spirit.

Day 222 is a Book of Ezekiel day in the fifth 49 days. Ezekiel is the 26th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 26th day in the fifth 59 days of the year. The 26th chapters of the Bible are also applicable to this day. The 26th book and chapters of the Bible indicate that Day 222 is a day to walk in the spirit. It is a day to listen to God and obey His Voice. Ezekiel only acted by the Word of God and by His Spirit. Isaac prospered in Genesis 26 by listening God.

Day 222 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 32nd week. It is a day of the compassionate intervention of God. Every week is like a journey through the Bible having an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong 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 express the 27 books of the New Testament. The fifth day of the week is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the first nine books of the New Testament. The first 9 books of the NT are about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church. The books are about the love and grace of God granting salvation and justification to humanity by faith. This is a day to enter experientially into the New Testament side of the week. It is a day of answers to prayers, fulfillment of prophecies, and delivery of promises. The New Testament side is the spiritual and deeper side. The New Testament side is the side of manifestation. The old has passed away; and the new has begun. Dreams for the week are expected to come to pass and promises should be fulfilled. Expect deliverance and divine intervention.

DECREE AND DECLARE: At creation, God spoke His will into each day. He made us in His image and likeness; and expects us to release His will into each day.  Decree this day that the flesh will not overtake the spirit in your life, family, organization, and nation. Decree a change in the week and declare that today is the beginning of the New Testament side of the 32nd week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God is with us) takes over. As a New Testament type day, decree that the love of God will overtake human error and failure. Today, submit to the spirit against the flesh. Walk in the spirit and make no room for the flesh. The fifth season is a season of giving spiritual interpretations to earthly manifestations. Today, make it your watchword to walk in the spirit and obey God’s Word. Walking in the spirit is the key to gaining all. Birds (representing the spirit) fly above and eat from the land, the sea, and the air. Today, cry out to God against oppression and for the pains in your life. Speak out also. Trust Him to intervene in your affairs. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Happy 222nd day! 

BORN ON THIS DAY? You arrived in your season for a reason. The day you were born is related to your identity and purpose. To be born on the fifth day of this week means you were born to bring something new to the table. You are like Elihu in the book of Job. You are new voice and you have a new perspective. You are a light-giver with a new light. You were born to help people see the other side of things. You are not a traditionalist and shouldn’t be. You were born to think differently. You were born to give a deeper (spiritual) interpretation to things. If you pay attention to building up your spirit above your flesh, you will do well. You will be like Ezekiel in the 26th book of the Bible. This does mean you should harm your flesh to build your spirit. It means you should let your spirit have ascendancy over your flesh in the decisions and choices you make. Today, give thanks to God for your life and celebrate the grace that made you different to make a difference in life. Happy birthday!

Welcome to the 221st day of the year. Day 221 is the fourth day of the 32nd week; the fourth day of the fourth week in the fifth 49 days; the 25th day in the fifth 49 days of the year. Day 221 is a core fourth-season day. It is the fourth day of the fourth week. It is August 9 in a Clear Year and August 8 in a Leap Year. 

The Bible patterns for understanding Day 221 are:

The fourth day of creation narrative

The fourth section of the 32nd book of the Bible

The 25th book and chapters of the Bible.

Day 221 is a fourth day of creation day in the 32nd week. On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries to hold darkness in check. The reason is that a fourth season is a fight-back season for darkness. The fourth book and chapters of the Bible reveal that the fourth season is a season of trials and tests. This is the bridge (testing) day of the bridge (testing) week in the fifth 49 days. A fourth season is a very critical season. As part of the 32nd week, the 32nd chapter of First Chronicles may throw some light into the nature of the day. 

In the 32nd chapter of Second Chronicles, Hezekiah went through a season of tests and trials. In the 31st chapter of the book, he had just carried out sweeping reforms in Judah. Then, in the following chapter he was launched into trials. He passed through four tests:

A. THE TEST OF SENNACHERIB

2 Chronicles 32:1-22: “After these deeds of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered Judah; he encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them over to himself. [2] And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem, [3] he consulted with his leaders and commanders to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him. [4] Thus many people gathered together who stopped all the springs and the brook that ran through the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?” [5] And he strengthened himself, built up all the wall that was broken, raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside; also he repaired the Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance. [6] Then he set military captains over the people, gathered them together to him in the open square of the city gate, and gave them encouragement, saying, [7] “Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him. [8] With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. [9] After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he and all the forces with him laid siege against Lachish), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying, [10] “Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: ‘In what do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem? [11] Does not Hezekiah persuade you to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, “The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria”? [12] Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, “You shall worship before one altar and burn incense on it”? [13] Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their lands out of my hand? [14] Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand? [15] Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?'” [16] Furthermore, his servants spoke against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah. [17] He also wrote letters to revile the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.” [18] Then they called out with a loud voice in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and trouble them, that they might take the city. [19] And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth-the work of men’s hands. [20] Now because of this King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven. [21] Then the LORD sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned shamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there. [22] Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

B. THE TEST OF LIFE AND HEALTH

2 Chronicles 32:24: “In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death, and he prayed to the LORD; and He spoke to him and gave him a sign”

C. THE TEST OF HUMILITY

2 Chronicles 32:25-30: “But Hezekiah did not repay according to the favor shown him, for his heart was lifted up; therefore wrath was looming over him and over Judah and Jerusalem. [26] Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah. [27] Hezekiah had very great riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of desirable items; [28] storehouses for the harvest of grain, wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of livestock, and folds for flocks. [29] Moreover he provided cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much property. [30] This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon, and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

D. THE TEST OF MINDSET

2 Chronicles 32:25: 31: However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart”.

Day 221 is a Jonah chapter 3:1-4 day in the 32nd week. The fourth section of the 32nd book of the Bible is applicable to the fourth day of the 32nd week. In this section of the book, Jonah became the luminary that took the light of God’s word to dark Nineveh. This is a day shining as light to hold darkness in check. You are God’s channel of light today. Shine forth and bring light to those sitting in darkness. 

Day 221 is a Book of Lamentations day in the fifth 49 days of the year. The book of Lamentations is the 25th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 25th day in the fifth 49 days of the year. The 25th book and chapters of the Bible indicate that people are prone to making costly mistakes in the 25th season. This is a day to watch against making foolish decisions – as individuals, families, communities, organizations and nations. This is a day to pray against mental darkness and actions that would lead to lamentations. It is a day to pray and take steps against judgmental disasters.

Day 221 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 32nd week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The fourth day of the week is the day closing the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the last nine books of the Old Testament. Day 221 is the bridge-day leading to the New Testament side of the 31st week. The books of ‘the minor prophets’ are part of the last 9 books of the O.T. They are about judgment and promises of restoration. Day 221 is the day of the dominion of the Voice of God in the nations. 

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, raise your voice against wickedness and oppression wherever it is found. Prophesy! Prophesy!! Prophesy!!! Today, also pray to be more sensitive in the spirit; to pick up necessary signals that would help you triumph over the enemy and keep darkness away. Happy Day 221!

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason. Babies are born everyday but each child comes in his or her season. Your arrival on this day is related to who you are and why you exist. Like the luminaries God made on the fourth day of creation, you are a light-giver, time-keeper and a sign-giver. You were designed to help people know what to do. You were made to be an alarm ad bell ringer. You were born to illuminate the mind of people and draw them out of mental darkness. Confusion, deception and stumbling were not to be part of your life. The tests and temptations you go through are to qualify you for your assignment in life. You cannot be light to anyone if you are overcome by darkness. You cannot help anyone if you are deceived or confused. The secret of relevance, for you, is to live your life in light of the Word of God. To give light you must have light. To enlighten others, you must be enlightened yourself. Seek the Truth from Gods Word to free yourself and others from confusion and deception. Today, give thanks to the Creator of all things for your life and pray for grace to live the life you were ordained to.

Welcome to the 220th day of the Year! Day 220 is the third day of the 32nd week; the third day of the fourth week in the fifth 49 days. It can also be called a 24th season day because it is the 24th day in the fifth 49 days. Day 220 is a third-season day. It is August 8 (the 8th day of the 8th month) in a Clear Year and August 7 in a Leap Year. 

The Bible patterns for understanding the 220th day are:

The third day of creation narrative

The 24th book and chapters of the Bible

Day 220 is a third day of creation day in the 32nd week. On the third day of creation, the waters under the firmament were contained and the dry ground was revealed. In the same way, the dry ground opened for the vegetation in the seeds hidden within the ground to come forth. The third day is when the consequences of actions begin to show up. It is when the direction of the week is set. The third day is when things that are buried under revive and resurrect. The earth was too agenda in God’s Creation Plan but was not unveiled until the third day. This is the day of ‘the unveiling’ in the 32nd week. The third day or third season is for ‘unveiling’ and manifestations. 

Day 220 is a Jonah chapter 2 day in the 32nd week. The third section of the 32nd book of the Bible is applicable to the third day of the 32nd week of he year. This is the third day in a week of tastings in which one must guard against foolishness and shooting oneself in the foot. The third day of any week is the game-changing day. That is when what is hidden is revealed. That is when the new course is determined. The third section of the 32nd book is the second chapter of Jonah. Jonah prayed in the belly of the fish and God commanded the fish to vomit him. His repentance and prayer changed the course of the narrative. Jonah chapter 2 is the game-changing chapter in the book. The decision you make or do not make today determine the direction of the week.

Day 220 is a Book of Jeremiah day in the fifth 49 days of the year. Jeremiah is the 24th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 24th day in the fifth 49 days of the year. He prophesied the overthrow of Judah by the Babylonians and also prophesied the eventual fall of Babylon. This is a day of overthrow as God used Jeremiah to overthrow kingdoms in the 24th book of the Bible. 

Day 220 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the 32nd 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 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.

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 32nd 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. Happy 220th day!.

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason. Your arrival on this day speaks volumes about who you are and why you came. You arrived on a game-changing day in the week because you represent game-change. You represent a new direction. You were born on this day of unveiling because you were a top agenda unveiled. You came to be a platform for good like the earth that was unveiled on the third day of creation. You were made to be a pillar in and from your family. You were born to be a person of great responsibility like the earth that a great carrier. To succeed in your mission you must learn to listen to the Carrier General of the Universe. His Voice is your greatest heritage. You must be ready, always, to hear Him and do His bidding. Do not give your attention to the adversary. Otherwise, you become a gateway to disaster. Today, give thanks to God for your life and pray that He would continually have His way and place in your life. Happy birthday!
