The 19th Seven Years

Welcome to the 19th seven years.. This is for nations going through the years 127-133. The 19th seven years begins after the 126th year of the nation. Those who attained statehood or nationhood in 1895 would enter their 19th seven years from 2021.

Every seven-year season or prophetic week has its unique contribution to the century. The nineteenth seven years is a fifth-season seven years. It is the fifth seven years in the second century. It belongs to the third 49 years. As a fifth season era, the nineteenth seven years is a season of fruitfulness – physically, materially, and spiritually.  It is part of a broad third season of overthrows, deliverances, manifestation, and productivity. The Bible keys to understanding the 19th prophetic week are the fifth day of creation narrative, the nineteenth book and chapters of the Bible, the fifth four chapters of the third book of the Bible, Leviticus. 

The nineteenth week is a fifth day of creation prophetic week. It was on the fifth day that God made living creatures and filled the waters with abundance of sea creatures. He made the birds of the air on the same day. The fifth day was the beginning of movement on earth. It was the beginning of flesh and blood, voice-sounds, and also the beginning of blessings. God did not bless His creatures until the fifth day. On that day, He blessed the swimming and flying creatures with fruitfulness and multiplication. The fifth day also marked the beginning of the sound-producing creatures. As a fifth season week, the 19th prophetic week is a season of warring, and triumphing over, things that war against the release and expression of life – dryness, poverty, disease, death, barrenness, and wickedness.

The 19th prophetic week is a 19th-chapters-of-the-Bible season. The 19th chapters of the Bible reveal the following about the 19th prophetic week. 

1. It is a season of loose morality leading to anger and destruction against vileness. The season requires purity and separation from pollution. In Genesis 19, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah after separating Lot’s family from the land. In Judges 19, vile men raped a woman to death. Revelation 19 opens with praise to for the destruction of the evil city by fire. In this season, God calls men to separate themselves to Him. In the 19th chapters of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, God called Israel to separate from pollution and be holy to Him. In Second Chronicles 19, God rebuked Jehoshaphat for aligning with the house of Ahab. 

2. It is a season when  the wicked and evil men seek to destroy their righteous enemies. The evil one wants to see men dead in this season; especially the righteous. For this reason, God makes a preservation plan for His people. In Deuteronomy 19, He commanded Moses to provide cities of refuge in Canaan for those escaping from the avenger of blood. In First Samuel 19, David escaped being killed by Saul. In First Kings 19, Elijah ran from Jezebel. In Second Kings 19, Sennacherib went up against Judah to destroy it. God intervened and slew 185, 000 of his troops. He withdrew in shame. Enemies multiply in the 19th season. In the book of Psalms, the word ‘enemy’ is used in 26 verses; the word ‘enemies’ is used in 78 verses; and the word ‘wicked’ is used in 104 verses. That is the reason we should be prayerful in this season; but not be afraid. Do not give in to self-pity in this season. In Job 19, Job lamented his loneliness in distress. He feels like no one, not even God or his friends, is on his side. He stressed his faith in his Redeemer (Job 19:25). Your convictions may make you stand alone in the nineteenth season. This is a season to find company in God. Elijah was alone in First Kings 19. 

3. The 19th season is a season of triumphs in battle. The victories of this season come from divine vindication as a result of trusting Him. In 19, six tribes received their inheritance in the Promised Land. In Second Samuel 19, David wins the war with Absalom and is restored to his kingdom. In First Chronicles 19, David defeated the Amorites and the Syrians. In Acts 19, Paul’s ministry at Ephesus triumphed over idols and Idol worshippers. In Revelation 19, the King of kings defeated and captured the beast and the false prophet in the last battle. God overthrows His enemies in the 19th season. In Isaiah 19, the prophet makes proclamation against Egypt. In Jeremiah 19, God announced judgment against Judah. Ezekiel 19 is the Prophet’s lamentation for the degradation of Israel because of her sins.

4. The 19th season is a time to focus on the spiritual side of things. In Matthew 19, Jesus taught about marriage, divorce, and celibacy. He gave counsel to the Rich Young Ruler – to sell everything he has and distribute to the poor. The man went away sorrowful – though he had come to Jesus to enquire about eternal life. Materialism is a problem in the nineteenth season. In Luke 19, a rich man, Zacchaeus, sought to see Jesus and was found. Jesus told the parable of the minas. Jesus wept over Jerusalem, and cleansed the temple. The nineteenth is a season of intense hunger for the spiritual. It is a season of reckoning, and of change. John 19 is about the crucifixion, death, and burial of Jesus. The 19th is a season of self-denial. Jesus chose this path of spirituality for the sake of salvation for humanity. The nineteenth season is not a season to gratify flesh. It is a time to deny self for the benefit of self and others.

The nineteenth prophetic week is a Leviticus 17-20 season. The fifth four chapters of the third book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth seven years in third 49 years. This fifth section of Leviticus is about the sanctity of blood, laws of sexual morality, moral and ceremonial laws, and penalties for breaking the law. It is interesting that this fifth section discusses the sanctity of blood because flesh and blood came into existence on the fifth day.  Men tend to become lawless in nineteenth seasons. The 19th prophetic week is for guarding the flesh and holding it in check. It is a season to protect flesh and blood; and eschew sexual morality. The nineteenth chapters of Genesis and judges make references to homosexuality. There is a rampant growth of wickedness and aggression in this season too. Saul wanted to kill David in the 19th chapter of First Samuel; and Jezebel wanted to kill Elijah in the nineteenth chapter of First Kings. The nineteenth chapter of John is about the crucifixion of Jesus. God began to give laws to Israel in the nineteenth chapter of Exodus. Other nineteenth chapters, like Genesis and Revelation, reveal that the nineteenth season is a time to punish law-breakers.

The 19th prophetic week is the beginning of the New Testament side of the the third seven weeks. It is a Matthew – Galatians season. Every 49-year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first 28 years constitute the Old Testament side of the season. The last 21 years belong to the New Testament side of the season. The fifth 7 years (in every 49 years) is the beginning of the New Testament side; and expresses the first nine books of the New Testament. Those nine books are about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church. They are books of the gracious intervention of God through Jesus Christ. They are books of salvation, deliverance, and restoration. To be on the New Testament side of a season means salvation has come. It means promises and prophecies are going to be fulfilled. It means grace and mercy will speak for people.

This 19th seven years is a book of Psalms season. Psalms is the nineteenth book of the Bible. From the book of Psalms, we learn that the nineteenth season is a season of meditations, prayers, songs, confessions and declarations of confidence in God, expressions of gratitude, praises, and worship to God, and acknowledgements of the greatness and awesomeness of God. It is a season of intense spiritual warfare. The three major ‘P’ words of this season are pressures, prayers, and praises. The nineteenth season is a season of triumphs, victories, interventions, revivals, deliverances, and testimonies. It is a season to tap into, and experience the sufficiency of God for all needs and desires. It is a season to be preoccupied with God – regardless of circumstances. It is also a season of punitive reactions to man’s rebellion. This is the season of the Word!

The nineteenth seven psalms (127-133) are also applicable to the  nineteenth seven years; because days 127-133 belong to the 19th week of the year.

Welcome to the 100th Year

Welcome to the 100th year! The 100th year is the second year of the fifteenth seven years. It is also the second year in the third 49 years. It is a second season year. The Bible keys for understanding the 100th year are the second day of creation narrative, the 100th psalm, and the second two chapters of the fifteenth book, Ezra, the second book of the Bible, and the second ten books of the Bible.

The 100th year is a second day of creation year. On the second day of creation, God made the firmament to thwart the monopoly of the waters and make room for other things to exist. This is a year of triumph over monopolies. It is a season when God makes a way where there is no way. The 100th year is for making a way where there is no way. Sarah gave birth to Isaac when Abraham was 100 years. That was when he celebrated their triumph over barrenness.

The 100th year is a Psalm 100 year. The five-verse Psalm 100 gives us a six-point wisdom, or prophetic direction, for the season.

Psalm 100:1-4 says,

1. Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! 

2. Serve the LORD with gladness; 

3. Come before His presence with singing. 

4. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 

5. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. 

6. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

God is our Helper in the second season. He must become our focus, as well, in this season – not just for prayers but especially for praises. Psalm 100 shows that the key to open doors in the 100th year is praising God.

The 100th year is an Ezra 3-4 year. The second two chapters of the 15th book of the Bible is applicable to the second year of the 15th seven years. In the third chapter, they built the altar. In the fourth chapter, opposition began to mount against the work until it stopped by a royal decree. This is a season to battle resistance and opposition. God is a Way-Maker in the second season because way-blockers manifest in the same season. In the 100th year of the United States, anti-Chinese sentiments broke our in America. There were also anti-African American sentiments.

The 100th year is First Kings – Proverbs year in the 15th seven years. The second ten books of the Bible is applicable to the second year of the 15th seven years. In the first four of the second ten books, Israel prospered greatly and then, began to decline, divided, and went into captivity. The last six books of the second ten books are Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalns, and Proverbs. They are testimonies of God making a way for His people where there was no way. Whereas the Psalms show that trusting God and praying makes a way, the book of Proverbs shows that Wisdom is the way where there is no way. May the 100th year bring unbelievable open doors to people going through it. Happy 100th year!

Welcome to the 115th Year

Welcome to the 115th year! The 115th year is a core third-season year. It is the third year in the third seven years of the third 49 years. It is Year 17 in the third 49 years. The Bible keys to understanding Year 115 are the third day of creation narrative, Psalm 115, the 17th book of the Bible; especially the third two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible, and the third ten books of the Bible.

Year 115 is a third day of creation year. On the third day of creation, God settled the water-dry-ground conflict by setting boundaries for the waters and causing the dry ground to appear. He also brought forth vegetation from dry ground by His word. ‘The third’ is the season of the last battle against the waters of oppression and wickedness. The third is also the season of the great conflict between platforms; it is the season when Heaven decides and chooses between platforms on earth. On the third day of creation, it was between the dry ground and the waters; in Genesis 3, it was between Adam and the Serpent; in Exodus 3, it was about Moses and Pharaoh; in First Samuel 3, it was about Samuel and Eli; in Esther 3, it was between Mordecai and Haman, on the third day of Queen Esther’s fast, it was for either Esther or the Persian Law; in Jonah 3, it was between the runaway prophet and the fish; in Matthew 3 (and also Luke 3), it was a choice between Jesus and John the Baptist; on the the third day following the crucifixion, it was about Jesus and the grave. This 115th year is the third year in the third seven years of the third 49 years. Who gets the WIN in your country this year? I pray it’s your country and the people. The aliens will not say concerning your country, as in Psalm 115:2, “Where is their God?” Year 115 is the game-changing year in the 17th seven years and in the third 49 years.

Year 115 is a Psalm 115 year. This is a psalm of conflict between worshippers of God and worshippers of idols. It is about “us and them”; “our God” and “their idols”. In this psalm, the psalmist calls on God to rise on behalf of His people – so that the Gentiles (idol worshippers) will not mock the people of God.

LORD, GIVE GLORY TO YOUR NAME: Psalm 115:1-2 says, “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth. [2] Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?” The Lord must win the battle of the third season. It is for His glory – not ours.

OUR GOD AND THEIR IDOLS: Idols are nothing to be compared with our God. Whereas men are the handwork of God, idols are the work of men’s imagination and hands. They are lifeless and powerless. Those who make idols and trust in them are as powerless as their idols. Psalm 115:3-8 says, “But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. [4] Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. [5] They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; [6] They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell; [7] They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat. [8] Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them”.

TRUST IN THE LORD: God is the help and shield of all men – even those who do not know Him. If we trust in Him, He would withdraw His help and shield from our enemies. It we disregard God, He helps our enemies against us. Psalm 115:9-11 says, “O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield. [10] O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield. [11] You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield”.

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S BLESSING AND PRAYER: The psalmist knows, from the past, that the Lord will bless His people in the present time. Psalm 115:12-15 says, “The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless US; He will bless the house of ISRAEL; He will bless the house of AARON. [13] He will bless THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD, Both small and great. [14] May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children. [15] May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth”.

ASSERTIONS AND ASSURANCE OF SAFETY AND VICTORY: The earth is the abode of man. To die is to leave the earth; and the dead cannot praise God. If we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore, it means we must live on. Psalms 115: 16-17 says, “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; But the earth He has GIVEN to the children of men. [17] The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence. [18] But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!” If we must praise God, then God must keep us alive. Year 115 should be a year of spiritual protest against the spirit of death seeking to overtake the nation.

Year 115 is an Esther 5-6 year in the 17th seven years. The third two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the third year of the seventeenth 7 years. In the fifth chapter of Esther, the Jewish queen obtained favor from the Persian king. The Law of the land was set aside and Esther was admitted before the king without invitation. What should have resulted in a death sentence, opened the heart of the king to her. Year 115 is a year of favor. It is a year for things that should not be to be. It is a year when those who should die are turned to life. It is a year when those who have the least chance are given the largest room. It is a year when the norm is suspended in favor of the least deserving. This is a year to celebrate the everlasting truth of the Lord; and His great merciful kindness towards us. Haman attended Esther’s party with the king – not knowing that things had changed. He was even misadvised to make a gallows for Mordecai. In the sixth chapter of Esther, Haman began to go down as the king honored Mordecai according to Haman’s unwitting recommendation. He suffered the shame of his life on that day. Esther 6:13 says, “When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.” This is promotion year for hidden and forgotten people in the nation. It is a year of honor for those who trust in God; and a year of shame and humiliation for the proud and wicked.

Year 115 is a Book of Esther Year in the third 49 years. The 17th book of the Bible is applicable to the 17th year in the third 49 years. The book of Esther (the 17th in the Bible) is about how God overruled circumstances and exalted hated Jews in the Persian kingdom. Three major things happened in the book to shape the story of the book. The first was the deposition of Queen Vashti for her disobedience to the king. This made way for Esther to become Queen. The second was the failed plot of Bigthan and Teresh to execute the king. This entered Mordecai’s name in the kings book of records. The third was the clash between Haman and Mordecai that led to Haman’s plot to exterminate Jews in the kingdom. This rest of the book is about how the Jews escaped death. The 115th year is a year of manifestation, promotion, and establishment for those who fear God. It is a year of overthrow for the wicked.

Year 115 is death’s year of visitation when it’s cruel hands are tied and weakened. It is a year for God to arise against the plans of the wicked to kill and destroy. It is a year to overthrow agents of death. This year, the Lord will preserve your life and beat down the adversaries of your nation. Happy 115th year!

Welcome to the 114th Year

Welcome to Year 114! The 114th year is a second season year. It is the second day of the 17th seven years. It is also the sixteenth year in the third 49 years. The basic Bible keys to understanding the 114th year are the second day of creation narrative, Psalm 114, and the second two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible. 

Year 114 is a second day of creation year in the 17th seven years. On the second day of creation, God made a way where there is no way; when He made the firmament to divide the bloc of waters. There was no space for anything else to exist before that day. The 114th year is when nations must find a way for you where there is no way.

Year 114 is a Psalm 114 year. This psalm draws attention to the potency and power of God’s presence; demonstrated in the parting of waters for Israel to cross and in the provision of water from dry rock.

THE MYSTERY OF THE DOMINION AND SANCTUARY 

Psalm 114:1-6 says, “When Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language, [2] Judah became His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion”.[3] The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back. [4] The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. [5] What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back? [6] O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs? 

Nothing can stand in the way of the presence of God. The presence of God manifests in His sanctuary (where He is worshipped) and in His dominion (where He is served and obeyed).  When Israel left Egypt, they left the land as the sanctuary and dominion of God. The Lord lived in them and ruled in them. They worshipped Him and served Him. Mercy flowed from the sanctuary and authority flows from the dominion. The result was that the sea saw them and fled, Jordan turned back, the mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs. Nations passing through the 114th year should press for Psalm 114 kind of testimony – that obstacles also fled before the nation.

The presence of the Lord makes the earth tremble and commands all forces to bow. Psalm 114:7-8 says, “Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob, [8] Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters”.

If we go with the presence of God (as His Sanctuary and Dominion) in the second season, nothing can stand in our way. All forces bow to the presence of God. Year 114 is a season to invite the presence of God to touch challenges we face.

Year 114 is Esther 3-4 year in the 17th seven years. The second two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the second year of the seventeenth seven years. In the third chapter of Esther, Mordecai’s conflict with Haman began. Haman was promoted above all the king’s servants. The king also gave a command that all should bow to him. Mordecai refused to bow to him because of his faith. Haman was enraged and sought to destroy Mordecai and all Jews in the Persian kingdom. He got the king to sign and issue a decree that all Jews in all the Persian provinces would be killed on the thirteenth day of twelfth month. In the fourth chapter of the book of Esther, Mordecai began a one man protest against the Haman’s plot and the king’s decree. Esther 4:1-3 says, “When Mordecai learned all that had happened, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city. He cried out with a loud and bitter cry. [2] He went as far as the front of the king’s gate, for no one might enter the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth. [3] And in every province where the king’s command and decree arrived, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes”. Esther was troubled by Mordecai’s actions but did not understand what was happening until Mordecai ‘awakened her’ to the situation. He wanted her to go to the king and intervene; but it would be at the risk of her life to go to the king uninvited. She chose to fast with her maids for three days and three nights before going to the king; and wanted Mordecai and the Jews in Shushan to fast for her as well. The fasting was to prepare Esther to go before the king; and it didn’t matter to her if that would end her life. Year 114 is a season to battle evil monopolies through the power of God. It is a season to find or make a way where there’s no way. Year 114 is for those who believe and know that power belongs to God; and not to any man or spirit. Governments that are oppressive in this season May face revolutions. Such governments (or powerful people in the nation) should aim at easing pain for the people.

Year 114 is a Book of Nehemiah year in the third 49 years. The sixteenth book of the Bible is applicable to the 16th year in the third 49 years. In the 16th book of the Bible, Nehemiah was moved by the ruined condition of Jerusalem and prayed to God until he received a vision to go and rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. He could not do that without the king’s permission and release; because he was the cupbearer of the king. God made a way where there was no way. The king learnt of the burden of his heart and gave needed permission and support to carry out what was on his heart. He was made the governor of Judah. Amid tense opposition from the adversaries of Judah, Nehemiah mobilized the people to rise and build the wall. The wall was completed in 52 days through the help of God; and to the shame of their adversaries. Nehemiah made arrangements for people to settle in Jerusalem so that proper worship can be carried on in the temple and city. Ezra the scribe was on hand to teach the Law in Israel. Nehemiah and Ezra led the restoration of true worship and separation in Judah. The 16th year in the third 49 years is a season of prayers. It is a season to bring the power of God to bear on tough earthly conditions- through prayer and worship. 

May the Lord lead your nation to find a way where there is no way. Happy 114th year!

Welcome to the 113th Year

Welcome to the 113th year! Year 113 is the first year of the seventeenth seven years. It is also the fifteenth year in the third 49 years. Year 113 is a first-season year. The Bible keys to understanding year 113 are the first day of creation narrative, Psalm 113, the fifteenth book of the Bible (Ezra), and the first two chapters of Esther – the seventeenth book of the Bible.

Year 113 is a first year of creation day in the 17th seven years. On the first day of creation, God brought Light into existence. The Light of the first day changed the situation but did not totally displace darkness. It reduced the dominion and prevalence of darkness. God also separated light from darkness. God is Light. He is the Light of the first season. In the first season, God is the focus. He is the Creator and Beginning of all beginnings. “The first is the Lord’s; because the Lord is First”. Year 113 is a season to focus on God and the pursuit of His pleasure. It is a season to honor Him by following His principles of establishment. In Year 113, a nation will go up or down depending on how she aligns with divine principles. Every nation going through Year 113 should express and not darkness.

Year 113 is a Psalm 113 year. This psalm draws every attention to God.  This psalm has three main sections. The first three verses call us to praise the name of the Lord. The second part, the next three verses, point us to the humility of God. The last three verses address the goodness of God in raising those of low degree.

A. PRAISE TO GOD’S NAME: Psalm 113:1-3 says “Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of a the LORD! [2] Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore! [3] From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD’s name is to be praised. 

B. THE LOFTINESS AND HUMILITY OF GOD: Psalm 113:4-6 says “The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. [5] Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high, [6] Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?”

C. THE GOODNESS OF GOD: Psalm 113:7-9 says “He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap, [8] That He may seat him with princes- With the princes of His people. [9] He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!”

In the first season, especially, all credit goes to God. Year 113 is a season to reflect on the loftiness, lowliness, and loveliness of God; and draw or adjust policies to fit divine principles and pleasure.

Year 113 is an Esther 1-2 year in the 17th seven years. The first two chapter of the seventeenth book of the Bible are applicable to the first year in the seventeenth 7 years. In the first chapter of Esther, king Ahasuerus made a feast for all his officers and servants in the 127 Persian provinces in the third year of his reign – “when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty for many days, one hundred and eighty days in all”. In this chapter, there was a display of the king’s greatness, wealth, and generosity. The closing seven-day feast ended with dishonor. The Queen disobeyed the king publicly. A decree was made to depose and replace her. In the second chapter of the book, God made a way for Esther and Mordecai in a foreign land. Esther was selected, from among many virgins, to be the queen – replacing Vashti. Everything that should have stood, or counted, against her, gave way. The emergence of Esther, against odds, was like the miraculous deliverance of Israel from Egypt. The death of Esther’s parents could not stop her. The crowd of virgins competing with her could not stop her. Her Jewish origin could not stop her. Those who plotted to kill her husband did not succeed. They were exposed and executed. Year 113 is a season of miraculous interventions that humbles the might and lofty. It is a day to turn dry rocks into fountains of water for properly aligned nations. It is a year to dismantle and clear obstacles. The choice of Esther as new queen of Persia shows that God “raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him with princes- with the princes of His people. (Who) grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children”; according to Psalm 113:7-9. Esther and Mordecai saved the life of the king. Nations going through year 113 must express divine light and give no room to rebels of darkness. If the nation is in rebellion against the Creator, the nation can expect a punitive visitation of the Almighty. This is a year to showcase and enjoy the magnanimity of Heaven.

Year 113 is a book of Ezra year in the third 49 years. The 15th book of the Bible is applicable to the 15th year of the third 49 days. In the 15th book of the Bible, king Cyrus freed the Jews from captivity and opened the door for Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple at Jerusalem. Year 113 is a gracious turning point in the third 49 years of existence. It is a season of release to return and rebuild the ruins. In this season, Heaven gives blessings of restoration.

Year 113 is a Genesis – Second Samuel season in the 17th seven years. The first ten books of the Bible are applicable to the first day of the week. Going through every seven-year season is like going through the Bible. The first four years is the Old Testament side of the seven years. The last three days of the seven-year season is the New Testament side of the season. In the first ten books of the Bible, God searched for a man. He searched from Adam to David. He found David. Year 113 is a recruiting year for Heaven. It’s a season when a nation can be recruited to serve a unique purpose in the divine agenda. It is a season of replacements. May your nation be available for God’s use this year. Happy 113th year!

Welcome to the 17th Seven Years

Welcome to the 17th seven years (years 113 – 119). The 17th seven years is the third seven-year season in the third 49 years. It is a core third-season. The Bible patterns for understanding the 17th seven years are the third day of creation narrative, the third four chapters of third book of the Bible (Leviticus), the seventeenth book and 17th chapters of the Bible, and the third ten books of the Bible.

The 17th seven years is a core third day of creation season in the third 49 years. On the third day of creation, God gave boundaries to the waters, displayed the dry ground, and released vegetation from the dry ground. On the third day, God removed the barrier (water) between heaven (firmament) and earth (dry ground). The third season is a game-changing season. On the third day of creation, dry ground took over from the waters and became the new platform for good. Dry ground brought forth new life. The seventeenth is a change-over season. It is for the overthrow of dysfunctional systems and the manifestation of hidden platforms.

The 17th seven years is a 17th-chapters-of-the-Bible season. 

The 17th seven years, as the 17th book and 17th chapters of the Bible indicate, is a season of mega victories for those who trust in God; and of mega failures for the proud arrogant who despise God. In the 17th seven years, freshness surges from dry and dead places; and good things come from unexpected places.

In Genesis 17, God appeared to Abram at 99, made a covenant with him, changed his name to Abraham, changed Sarai to Sarah, and struck the circumcision-deal with him. The dry couple became fresh and fruitful – parents of multitudes, nations, and kings.

In Exodus 17, Moses struck a dry rock by the word of the Lord, and water poured out for Israel. In the same chapter, Israel defeated Amalek; and recorded her first victory in armed warfare.

In Numbers 17, Aaron’s dry rod budded, blossomed and produced ripe almond fruits overnight to distinguish and vindicate God’s priest. The Rod was given room in the revered Ark of Covenant.

In Joshua 17, the five daughters of Zelophehad received inheritance in the name of their father who had no son.

In First Samuel 17, David brought down Goliath with his unconventional sling and stone.

In Second Samuel 17, David’s friend and ally joined Absalom and helped to overthrow the wicked counsel of Ahitophel in answer to David’s prayer. Ahitophel committed suicide consequently.

In First Kings 17, Elijah the Tishbite came on the scene. He invoked drought over Israel because of Ahab and Jezebel. Ravens brought him food at Brook Cherith. He prophesied a continuous supernatural supply of food to a widow’s empty store. He also raised the widow’s son from the dead. That was the first time a dead person was raised to life in the Bible.

The captivity of Israel (the Northern kingdom) is recorded in Second Kings 17. They fell to the Assyrians for disregarding God.

In First Chronicles 17, God made an everlasting covenant with David concerning the throne of Israel.

In Second Chronicles 17, Jehoshaphat became king of Judah and started teaching and calling Israel back to God.

In the 17th book of the Bible, Esther won a contest to become Queen of Persia. She changed the course of things in the nation. In this book, Mordecai and the Jews won a major victory against their enemies; a victory that laid the foundation for the Purim festival.

Jeremiah 17 says the one who trusts in God is blessed and shall see good; but the one who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm is cursed.

In Matthew 17, Jesus was transfigured before His disciples, cast out a stubborn demon, and directed Peter to fetch tax money from the mouth of a fish.

In Luke 17, ten lepers received their healing and cleansing from Jesus; but only one returned to give thanks.

In John 17, Jesus prayed His longest High Priestly prayer recorded in the Bible.

In Acts 17, Paul and his associates were said to have “turned the world upside down”.

The 17th seven years is a season of major battles and outstanding testimonies for those who trust in God.

The 17th seven years is a Leviticus 9-12 season in the third 49 years. The third four chapters of the third book of the Bible are applicable to the third seven years in the third 49 years. Aaron’s priestly ministry began formally in the ninth chapter. His two sons, Nadab and Abihu died in chapter 10 chapter for offering strange fire. The eleventh chapter is about foods forbidden and unclean animals. The twelfth chapter is about the ritual following child-birth. This section is about manifestation for service, overthrows, and bringing forth. This is a week of rendering acceptable service before God and to men. Those who would not do what is expected stand the risk of being overthrown and displaced.

The 17th seven years is a book of Esther season. Esther is the 17th book of the Bible. In the book of Esther, there were overthrows and replacements. Vashti was removed. Esther was crowned. Bigthan and Teresh were killed for plotting against the king. Haman was promoted, clashed with Mordecai, and decided to destroy the Jews. Everything turned against him. Mordecai and Esther and the king became the new platforms for good – after the dysfunctional platforms which the king trusted were removed. This is a week of backlashes against the wicked. Those who dig pits to harm others will fall into the pits they had dug. This week is for the manifestation of those who can be trusted to deliver desired results through service.

The seventeenth season is the season of the Great Search. In the seventeenth book of the Bible, Esther and Mordecai became the platform for the king’s operations – replacing Vashti, Bigthan and Teresh, and Haman. In the seventeenth century, the Indian American soil became the new world and new platform for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. John Bunyan wrote his classic Pilgrim’s Progress in this century too. Andrew Johnson (the self-educated tailor) was the seventeenth US President and successor of Abraham Lincoln. He was undesired and became the first president to be impeached by Congress. He still ended his term in office but as mere (powerless) figure head. He was like Vashti in the book of Esther. The seventeenth seven years of the US was opened and closed by Cleveland Grover, the 22nd and 24th President. He was the first and only US  President to serve two non-consecutive terms. He lost power to Benjamin Harrison , the 23rd President in between, but bounced back to power. The seventeenth season is a bounce-back season. Mordecai and the Jews bounced back in the book of Esther. In the 17th book of the Bible, the Jews escaped death. In the third seven years of the 117th 49 years of Israel’s history (5684-5733; i.e 1923-1972), the holocaust occurred and about 6 million Jews lost their lives. The season belonged to the seventeenth 343 years (5488 – 5831) of Jewish history. Pray against mass killing in the 17th seven years.

The 17th seven years (113-119) is a Psalm 113-119 season. Psalms 113-119 are the 17th seven psalms. Psalm 113 shows that God is to be praised, in this season, for His loftiness, His humility, and for His gracious intervention in the lives of the poor and the barren. Psalm 114 reveals that, in this season, forces tremble; and obstacles flee, at the presence of God. It reveals also that God does unusual things in this season – turning (converting, translating, transfiguring) a rock into a pool of water; and a flint into a fountain of waters. Psalm 115 shows this is the season of the Lord’s sovereignty; when idols (and those who serve them) are mocked; and the Living God is magnified, as Help and Shield, in those who serve Him. In this season, God stops death because “the dead do not praise God”. Psalm 116 reveals that this is a season of great answers to prayers. It is a season of testimonies of deliverance from death – in answer to prayers. It is not a season of tears or mourning. It is a season to experience how much God treasures the life of His own (not their death). Psalm 117 has only two verses. It is the shortest chapter of the Bible. It reveals that this is a season to praise God for His merciful kindness towards us and for His truth that endures forever. Psalm 118 reveals seven things about this season: 1). It is a season to give thanks to God for His goodness and for His enduring mercies. 2). It is season to trust in God instead of looking to princes. 3. It is a season of intense conflict in which we triumph through the name of the Lord. 4). It is a season of rejoicing and celebrating “the right hand” of the Lord. 5. It is a season to say NO to death. “I shall not die; but live and declare the works of the Lord”. 6). It is a season to bounce back. “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone”. 7. It is a season of marvelous works, joy, and celebration. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter of the Bible. It has 176 verses and is about confidence in the sufficiency of the word of God. This chapter reveals that the 17th week is a season to completely trust in the word of God and be preoccupied with it. 

It is interesting how the Holy Spirit arranged to have the shortest psalm (117) and the longest psalm (119) in the same group of the 17th seven psalms. It is to make a loud statement that, in the 17th season, God raises the lowliest to sit in the same place with the loftiest. This is a season to exalt the humble and humble the proud. In this season of intervention and dominion, intercession and decrees, mercy and truth, put your trust in God and call upon Him. The plans of the wicked to kill and destroy will be suspended and reversed. The killer will die; and the destroyer will be destroyed. This is season of great deliverances. This is a season of great escape from death.

The 17th seven years is Ecclesiastes – Amos season in the third 49 years. The third ten books of the Bible is applicable to the third seven years in the third 49 years. In these books, God spoke to Israel and other nations through prophetic voices. The seventeenth seven years is a season to heed the voice of Divine Counsel and Direction. Those who listen to divine counsel prosper. Those who disregard divine counsel fail. 

This 17th seven years, give thanks and sing praises to God. Pray with great confidence and focus on Him. Expect divine intervention. Expect victory. Prepare to celebrate. Happy 17th seven years!

Welcome to the 92nd Year

Welcome to Year 92! Year 92 is the twelve-month season following the 91st year, birthday, or anniversary. The 92nd year is the first year in the 14th seven years or 14th prophetic week. It is the first year in the seven year-season ending the second 49 years. It is Year 43 in the second 49 years. The 92nd year is a first-season year. The Bible keys for understanding Year 92 are the first day  of creation narrative, Psalm 92, the first six chapters of Second Chronicles (the 14th book of the Bible), and the first ten books of the Bible.

Year 92 is a first day of creation year in the 14th seven years. The 92nd year is a first season  year. On the first day of creation, spoke lighr into existence to deal with the prevailing darkness. Light is an expression of God. God is First and the first is God’s. God made made light to confront and overthrow darkness. Year 92 is a year of war against darkness. It is a year to separate darkness and light or day and night. This is the first year of what should be a ‘consecrated’ seven years. It belongs specially to God. God is first and the first belongs to Him. Choose light above darkness. Give the first place to Light in this year. God is Light and there is no darkness in Him. God’s word is also light.

Year 92 is a Second Chronicles 1-6 year. The first five chapters of the fourteenth book of the Bible is applicable to the first year in the 14th seven years. In the first chapter, Solomon is made king of Israel and receives wisdom to administer the nation. This is a year of wisdom. The remaining five chapters are about the building the temple of God -up till when the ark was brought into the temple. God is first; and the first belongs to Him. The first six chapters of the 14th book of the Bible puts God’s interest first. This is a year to put God first. You are God’s temple; and in this year, you must prepare and usher God into His habitation.

Year 92 is Genesis – 2 Samuel year in the 14th seven years. Going through every seven-year season or prophetic week is like going through the 66 books or seven blocs of the Bible. Every seven-year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four years of the prophetic week is the Old Testament side. The remaining three days of the prophetic week is the New Testament side. The first year in every seven years or prophetic week has its pattern and guiding light in the first ten books of the Bible. This bloc of Bible books covers from the creation of Adam to the reign of David; from the man made in the image and likeness of God to the man after God’s heart. The first year in the seven year season, like Year 92, is the time to present oneself as the man or woman God is looking for in the prophetic week. God is looking for a man and a woman He would use this seven year season. Be that person. Offer yourself to Him by honoring His Word and devoting yourself to His will. Pay attention to His word – not to your fears or interests.

Year 92 is a Book of John year in the second 49 years. The book of John is the 43rd book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 43rd year in the second 49 years of life. The book of John is about the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. In the book of John, Jesus is the Light of the world. He is the Word; and He is the Light. He did all things with the Word. Year 92 is the year of the Word. It is a year of conflict between light and darkness; but I t is a year of the triumph of light. Do not give in to darkness. Usher in the Light of God’s presence by His word. Light must win in the 92nd year.

Year 92 is a Psalm 92 year. Psalm 92 draws attention to God; and calls us to thank God for all He’s been to us; and for all He’s done for us. Psalm 92:1-8 says, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; [2] To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night, [3] On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound. [4] For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands. [5] O LORD, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep. [6] A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this. [7] When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever. [8] But You, LORD, are on high forevermore.”

In the first season, God displaces things and people that are out of alignment with His person and character; and, instead, favors things and people that represent His mind and thoughts. Psalm 92:9-15 says, “For behold, Your enemies, O LORD, For behold, Your enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. [10] But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. [11] My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies; My ears hear my desire on the wicked Who rise up against me. [12] The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. [13] Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. [14] They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, [15] To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him”. The righteous should triumph in every way in the 92nd year. The promises in Psalm 92 is for the righteous in the 92nd year. This is not a season of death; it is a season of flourishing.

The fourteenth seven years, being a seventh season, is a prophetic week of recompense. The recompense begins in the first year of the prophetic week; as we honor God with thanksgiving.

This year, the righteous will be remembered. Let the righteous flourish like the palm tree. Let the righteous p see and hear his desires on his enemies. This is the year of the triumph of light over darkness. Amen! Happy 92nd year!

Welcome to the 78th Year

Welcome to the 78th year! The 78th is the beginning of the 12th seven (78-84). The 78th day is the first day of the 12th week of the year. It is also the 29th day in the second 49 days of the year; or the beginning of the fifth week of the second 7 weeks of the year. The 78th day is a first season day. The Bible Keys to understanding Day 78 are the first day creation-narrative, the 78th psalm, the 29th book and chapters of the Bible, and the first four chapters of Second Kings – the 12th book of the Bible.

Year 78 is a first day of creation year in the 12th seven years. The first day of creation was a day of light triumphing over darkness. It was the beginning of creation and making a difference. On that day, light broke the power and dominion of darkness. On that day, God separated light from darkness and gave each a name. He called the light day; and the darkness night. That day was also the beginning of time (day and night). Light signifies truth, knowledge, and godliness. Day 78 is day of light overthrowing darkness. Truth will triumph over error. Knowledge will overcome ignorance. Godliness will overthrow ungodliness. The Light of the first day of creation was a manifestation of God; because God isLight and there is no darkness in Him. Begin the first day of the12th week with God and stay in alignment with Him.

Year 78 is a Second Kings 1-4 day. Day 78 is the first day of the twelfth week and expresses the first 4 chapters of the twelfth book of the Bible. In the first chapter, Elijah interrupted the messengers of king Ahaziah whom he had sent to Ekron, the Sidonian idol, to inquire about his health. The king sent soldiers to arrest him. At the command of Elijah, fire consumed 102 of them. In the second chapter, Elisha became Elijah’s successor after the latter had been transported out the world. In the same chapter, he healed the bad water of a community and also cursed 42 children mocking him for his bald head. Two female bears mauled the children. In the third chapter, he helped king Jehoram and king Jehoshaphat defeat the Moabites. In Second Kings 4, there were five miracles: 1. Elisha delivered a widow from a burden of debt that would have taken her two sons away from her. 2. Elisha delivered an aged woman and her husband from barrenness by the word of the Lord. They had a son. 3. Later, the boy fell sick suddenly and died; but Elisha raised him from the dead. 4. Elisha delivered the sons of the prophet from food poison by neutralizing the poison in the food. 5. Elisha fed one hundred men with twenty loaves of barley bread; and had some left over. Year 78 is a season of judgment and miraculous interventions. It is a year of the triumph of light. May the Lord overthrow the wicked and ungodly. May the Lord help the helpless.

Year 78 is the first day of the 5th week in the second 49 days of the year; or the first day of the 12th week of the year. The 5th or 12th season is for equipping a new generation. It is a season of teaching and learning to empower the next generation. It is for passing on the baton. In the fifth book of the Bible, Deuteronomy, Moses reviewed the journey-history of Israel from Egypt and intended to use it to prepare the next generation for the promised land. In that book, also, he passed on the baton to Joshua. In the 12th book of the Bible, Elijah had a school of prophets (the sons of the prophet). Elisha continued the same after he had been trained and empowered by Elijah. In the 12th book of the Bible, Elijah passed on the baton to Elisha. The 12th century was notable for progress in learning. England’s two oldest universities, Oxford and Cambridge, were founded in the 12th century.

Year 78 is a Psalm 78 year. This 72-verse psalm is about transmitting “what our fathers told us to their children”, who will in turn teach their children. It is a review or rehearsal of Israel’s walk or journey with God. Psalm 78:1-8 says, “Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. [2] I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, [3] Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. [4] We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done”. [5] For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; [6] That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, [7] That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments; [8] And may not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Year 78 is a book of Joel year in the second 49 years. Joel is the 29th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 29th day in the second 49 days. The book of Joel is a call to return to God amid disasters. Year 78 is for coming into alignment with God.

Year 78 is a Genesis – Second Samuel year in the 12th seven years. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first 4 days is the Old Testament side. The remaining three days is the New Testament side. Day 78 is the beginning of the Old Testament side of the 12th week; and has guiding light in the first 10 books of the Bible. From the first book of the Bible to the tenth book, God searched for a man. He found that man in David; and made a covenant with him in the seventh chapter of the tenth book of the Bible. Year 78 is a for pursuing and expressing the heart of God. It is for coming into alignment with God.

Happy 78th year!

The 12th Seven Years of Nations

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 day in the second 49 days of the year. 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 day of the week. 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 days of the year. 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 this season. Happy 12th seven years!

The 11th Seven Years of Nations

Nations, like individuals, love to celebrate 70; and when they do, they look back at the journey. But they should also look at the seven years ahead. The season of the eleventh seven years (71-77) of a nation is a critical season. 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 broader second 49 year season. 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 of a nation is a fourth-day-of-creation season in the Second 49 years of the nation. 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 of a bation is a book-of-First-Kings season in the nation. 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 of a nation 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) of a nation is an eleventh-chapters-of-the-Bible season for the nation. 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) of a nation is an Exodus 19-24 season in the second 49 years of the nation. 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 of a nation is Obadiah – Malachi season in the second 49 years of the nation. 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 during her 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!
