The Mystery of the 60th Birthday or Anniversary

The 60th birthday or anniversary is the end of the 60th year and the beginning of the 61st year. The first birthday or anniversary means the first year is already spent and gone. So, if you’ve marked and crossed the 60th birthday or anniversary, you should now focus on the that’s ahead of you – the 61st year. The 61st year is the twelve-month season following the 60th year, 60th birthday, or 60th anniversary. The 61st year is the fifth year in the ninth 7 years (57-63). It is also the 12th year in the second 49 years. Year 61 is a fifth season year. The fifth year in every seven years is a fifth-season year. The Bible patterns for understanding the 61st year are 1) the fifth day of creation narrative; 2) the 61st book of the Bible; 3) the 61st chapters of the Bible; 4) the fifth section of the 9th book of the Bible (First Samuel 20-23), and the first nine books of the New Testament. God’s word is lamp to your feet and light to your path (Psalm 119:105). It will show you the way to follow in the 61st year.

Year 61 is a fifth day of creation year in the 9th seven years. On the fifth day, God made the living creatures that fly (birds) and those that swim (fish and other sea creatures). He began to create living creatures in the fifth season because the fifth season is an anti-death season. Flesh and blood creatures, with ability for sensory perception, began to exist on the fifth day. God also began to bless on the fifth day. The fifth day is a day of abundant life and blessing. It is a season to wrestle against things that limit life and blessings. It is a season to war against forces that prey on life and its blessings. Year 61 is a year to fly above the waters or swim beneath the waters. The fifth day of creation was the beginning of the ‘New Testament’ side in creation. As a fifth day of creation year, the 61st year is a year of coming into full expression of life; and a year of overcoming hindrances to full expression of life.

Year 61 is a First Samuel 20-23 year in the 9th seven years. The book of First Samuel is the 9th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the ninth 7 years of life. The first 19 chapters of the book is applicable to the first 4 years in the ninth 7 years (57-63). The remaining 12 chapters applies to the remaining three years in the 9th seven-year season. The fifth section of the ninth book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth year of the ninth 7 years. This fifth section of First Samuel, reveals that the 61st season is a season of conflict between the old (fleshly) and the new (spiritual) forces; and a season of deliverance and preservation from death. This is the beginning of the separation of David from Saul. It is time for David to escape and save his life from Saul. It is time to give up sentiments and pull off from the ‘power’ that is after your life because of what you represent. David began to hide and separate from Saul in this section. With the cooperation of Jonathan, in the 20th chapter, David absented from a feast where Saul had planned to kill him. Saul lost the opportunity to kill David in that chapter. In the 21st chapter, David moved to the land of the Philistines and offered to serve the king of Gath. He narrowly escaped detection by feigning madness. In the 22nd chapter, David’s 400 men came to him. In the same chapter, Saul massacred the priests of God but Abiathar escaped and defected to David. In the 23rd chapter, David saved Keilah from the Philistines but left to wilderness of Ziph because of the danger of betrayal. Jonathan met him here and strengthened him. The Ziphites betrayed David to Saul but rumors Philistines invading Israel distracted Saul from going after David. Year 61 is a year to enjoy life and blessings through loyalty to God. Th enemy comes to kill and destroy but God preserves through spiritual sensitivity and faith. This is not a season to seek exposure. It is a season to seek a hiding place from trouble and destruction. It is a season to run from things that seek to destroy your life and destiny. God is our Shelter and Hiding Place in the 61st season. His Wisdom is our Refuge.

Year 61 is a book of Second Peter Year. Second Peter is the 61st book of the Bible; and shows that the 61st season is for giving and receiving “all things that pertain to life and godliness”.  It is a season of “exceeding great and precious promises by which we become partakers of the divine nature”.  It is a season to watch out against deceivers who loudly make empty promises. It is a season to watch out against scoffers who make light of God’s promises. It is a season of steadfastly standing on God’s word and advancing from one level of strength to another. It is a season of the dominion of righteousness. It is a season of judgment, overthrows, and rebuilding ruins. It is a season to express life to grow and advance through knowledge. This is a season of growth and advancement. It is a season to step forward to a higher ground in all areas. It is a season of taking the decisive steps that would shape the future.

Year 61 is a 61st chapters of the Bible year. The 61st chapters of the Bible (Psalm 61 and Isaiah 61) indicate that the 61st season is a season of good tidings and good works. It is a season to give and receive what is lacking or missing. It is a season to cause change and make a difference. It is a season of renewal and restoration. It is a season of joy for the works of the Lord. It is a season to end pains, lift  burdens, terminate yokes, and cause groaning to cease. It is a season when the Lord sends His anointed ones to give and minister needed help. Go forth because He has anointed and sent you; and be willing to receive those He has anointed and sent to you.

Psalm 61 is the cry of one overwhelmed with trouble. Psalm 61:1-4 says, “Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah”. This is the year of the Shelter. It just seems that it is because of the cry of Psalm 61 that the ministry of Isaiah 61 is released. Isaiah 61 seems like an answer to the Prayer in Psalm 61:1-2; and the rest of the psalm (verses 3-8) is a testimonial of God’s intervention. Isaiah 61 captures this properly: Isaiah 61:1-3 says, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; [2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, [3] To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”

Year 61 is a Book of Second Kings year in the Second 49 years. Second Kings is the 12th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 12th year in the second 49 years. The 12th book of the Bible opens with Elisha’s ministry of prophetic intervention. He brought joy to the afflicted and needy. The sick were healed, the barren conceived, the hungry were fed, the dead raised to life, and the helpless were helped. Year 61 is a year of life-saving and life-changing interventions. God sends helpers and saviors in the 61st year. God also brings down the proud in the 12th season. God judged the house of Ahab in the 12th book of the Bible. The book ended with the fall of the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel. The power of Egypt was broken in Exodus 12. Herod came to an end in Acts 12. The 61st year is for saving the needy and for breaking the the backbone of proud and arrogant oppositions.

Year 61 is a Matthew – Galatians year in the 9th seven years. Every seven-year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four years in every seven-year season is the Old Testament side. The last three years is the New Testament side. Year 61 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the ninth 7 years; and has its guiding light in the first nine books of the New Testament. The first 9 books of the New Testament are the narratives and interpretations of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Year 61 is a Jesus-year. It is Emmanuel-year. It is a year of good news. It is a year of overthrowing and overturning evil reports. It is a year of miraculous interventions. It is a year of fulfillment of dreams and prophecies. It is a year of mercy, grace, and liberty. Whatever the first nine books f the New Testament mean to the Bible is what the 61st year means to the one going through the ninth seven years of life. Happy 61st year! 

PRAYER: Thank you, Father, for this season of warfare and reconstruction and renewal. As you have anointed me and sent me, use me to make a difference in someone’s life this year. Thank you, also, for those you have anointed and sent to help me and to rebuild things in my life. I receive them with joy. This is a year of good news! In the name of Jesus Christ, I stand against the adversary who is on a mission to obstruct and hinder Your purposes in this season. Let his efforts be of no effect; and let his works be destroyed. Amen!

The Mystery of the 60th Year

So you have marked and crossed the 59th year? Congratulations! Welcome to the 60th year! The 60th year is the 12-month season following the 59th year, birthday, or anniversary. Year 60 is the fourth year in the ninth seven years (57-63); and the eleventh year in the second 49 years. Year 60 is a fourth-season year. It is the middle of the season of the 9th seven years. The 60th year is a bridge year. It is the bridge between the first three years and last three years of the ninth 7 years. What can we learn from the Bible concerning the 60th year following the 59th Anniversary?

The Bible patterns for understanding the 60th year are 1) the fourth day of creation narrative; 2) the 60th book of the Bible; 3) the 60th chapters of the Bible; 4) the fourth four chapters (13-16) of the 9th book of the Bible, and the eleventh book and chapters of the Bible.

Year 60 is a fourth day of creation year. On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries; the greater light to rule the day; and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. He made the luminaries to be for lights, to divide the day from the night, to rule over day and night, and to be for signs and for seasons. Year 60 is for the dominion of light against darkness. God made luminaries on the fought day because of the tendency for darkness to overtake men in the fourth seasons of life. Year 60 is year to stand guard against confusion, disorderliness, or disorganization. It is a season to guard against mental darkness, deception, and foolish stumbling. Year 60 is a year to triumph through light.

Year 60 is a First Samuel 13-16 year. As the fourth year of the ninth 7 years, the 60th year expresses First Samuel 13-16 (the fourth four chapters of the ninth book of the Bible). Those four chapters were chapters of failure in the life of king Saul. He got into trouble for disregarding the instructions of Samuel. Samuel was the light to guide him through the season; but Saul disregarded the prophet. In the 13th chapter, he overstepped his bounds to offer sacrifice instead of waiting for Samuel. That was the beginning of his downfall. In chapter 14, he issued an unreasonable decree requiring soldiers to fight on empty stomach. Penalty for violation was death. His son Jonathan almost got killed for tasting honey. In the 15th chapter, he disobeyed God’s commandment to destroy Amalek. That was the last straw that broke the Camel’s back. God rejected him as king. In the 16th chapter, David was anointed king in his father’s house; as one that would do the will of God. An evil spirit of depression came upon Saul and David was found to play music, as palace musician, to soothe Saul’s soul. Year 60 is a time to heed wise counsel, follow instructions, and obey commands. It is a season to be guided by light. It is a season to focus on the word – the light. This year, may the Lord guide you away from foolish and costly decisions. May the Lord deliver you from failing like king Saul. Year 60 is like a book-of-Numbers Year in a book-of-First-Samuel Season; because it is the fourth year of the ninth 7 years. Numbers is the fourth book of the Bible and First Samuel is the ninth book of the Bible. Year 60 is the ‘wilderness year’ of the ninth 7 years.

Year 60 is a First Samuel 16-19 year in the 9th seven years. The fourth section of the ninth book of the Bible is applicable to the fourth year of the ninth 7 years. This fourth section of First Samuel, reveals that the 60th season is a season of conflict between fleshly and spiritual forces; a season of preservation from death; and season of freedom from limitations. In the seventeenth chapter, David clashed with, and killed, the Philistine giant that terrorized the army of Israel. David was the instrument of deliverance in this section. Jonathan and David became friends after he killed Goliath. In the 18th chapter, overcome by jealousy as the women praised David, Saul sought to kill David. The chase after David continued in the 19th and 20th chapters. Jonathan, David’s wife, and Samuel, helped David escape death in this section. Above all, David was preserved by His relationship with God. Year 61 is a year of choosing life against death and blessings against curses. David chose the right way but Saul chose to go the wrong way. Year 61 is a year to enjoy life and blessings through loyalty to God. Th enemy comes to kill and destroy but God preserves through spiritual sensitivity and faith.

Year 60 is Book of First Kings Year in the Second 49 years. Year 60 is the eleventh year in the second 49 year; and has its guiding light in the eleventh book and eleventh chapters of the Bible. The eleventh book and eleventh chapters of the Bible indicate that Year 60 is a season of unprecedented exploits, trials, and sometimes failure. In the eleventh book of the Bible, Israel became great under the ruler ship of Solomon. In the 11th book of the Bible, Israel also began to go down through the errors of Solomon and Jeroboam the son of Nebat. Israel divided into two kingdoms in this season because of the arrogance of Rehoboam. In Genesis 11, men attempted building the Tower of Babel but everything ended in confusion. In Second Samuel 11, David made the Bathsheba-mistake. In the 11th chapter of the 11th book of the Bible, Solomon came down under a prophetic axe. The ministry of Elijah began in the 11th book of the Bible. In John 11, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.

Year 60 is a book-of-First-Peter Year. The 60th book of the Bible, First Peter, is applicable to the sixtieth year. The opening verses of this book says God has begotten us again to a LIVING HOPE according to His abundant mercy and through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The 60th book of the Bible gives hope and comfort amid suffering. Pray that the pains of the season will not distract you from the promised gains. 

Year 60 is a 60th-chapters-of-the-Bible year. The 60th chapters of Psalm and Isaiah reveal that the 60th season is a season of hope, promises, and assurances from God – amid trials.  In this sixtieth year, take your eyes off the darkness of the season and put them on the Lord and His promises. In the middle of the prayers in Psalm 60, we read this: “God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth. [7] Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. [8] Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.” The 22-verse 60th chapter of Isaiah has about 60 mouth-watering, promises that give hope to the believer. The passage is full of good things God said SHALL happen; and things He said He WILL do. The 60th year is a year of great divine promises. It is a year of great expectations; but the enemy wants it to be a year of great disasters.

Day 117: The Mystery of April 27

Day 117 is the fifth day of the seventeenth week. It is also the 19th day in the third 49 days – the fifth day of the third week in the third 49 days of the year. Day 117 is a fifth-season day. It is April 27 in a clear year; and April 26 in a leap year. The Bible keys to understanding the 117th day of the year are the fifth day of creation day narrative, Psalm 117, and the 8th chapter of the 17th book of the Bible. 

Day 117 is fifth day of creation day in the 17th week. On the fifth day of creation, God created seas creatures and birds of the air. It was a day of new beginnings – flesh and blood, free movement, voice sounds, blessings, and other things. God blessed blessed creation for the first time on the fifth day. The fifth season is a season of divine generosity. Day 117 is a day of smiles for the humble that trust in God.

Day 117 is a book of Psalms day in the third seven weeks of the year. It is the 19th day in the third 49 days of the year. Psalms is the 19th book of the Bible; and is so much about praising God. The 19th is a season of triumphing in battles and offering praises to God.

Day 117 is particularly a Psalm 117 day. This psalm is a call to praise God. It calls Gentiles and all peoples to praise God. It is a call from the psalmist to gentile nations to praise God. It is also prophetic of Gentiles praising God someday. It is a call to Gentiles to step up in faith, give up their idols and turn to the God of Israel. It is a call to Gentiles to join Israel and praise the God of Jacob. Day 117 is a day of new things. It is a season when things that had not been in existence come into existence. It is a day of ‘first time’ happenings. It is a day of freedom and dismantling boundaries. Psalm 117 is the shortest psalm and chapter of the Bible. It has only two verses. This two-verse psalm is the same group with the longest psalm and chapter of the Bible – the 176-verse Psalm 119. W

Psalm 117:1 says, “Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!”. 

The psalmist gives two reasons for praising God: His merciful kindness that is great towards us and His truth that endures forever. 

Psalm 117:2 says, “For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!”

Every century has seven divisions of 14 years each. This fifth-season psalm could be applied to the fifth fourteen years of the seventeenth century (1657-1670). Among other things, this was the season of the printing of the first Native American Bible. “John Eliot translated the Bible from an unwritten American Indian language into a written alphabet that the Algonquian Indians could read and understand. He was the only missionary to make a new alphabet from an unwritten language for purposes of teaching scriptures, in over a thousand years since Ulfilas constructed the Gothic alphabet”. Following about fourteen years of work, the Algonquin Bible was printed in 1663. The production of the Eliot Bible was victory for the native people. So, the psalm declares “Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples! For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!”

Today, let us praise God for these two: His great merciful kindness towards us and His truth that endures forever. 

Day 117 is an Esther-chapter-8 day in the 17th week. The 8th chapter (fifth section) of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the seventeenth week of the year. In the eighth chapter of the 17th book, the handed over the house of Haman to Queen Esther. Esther also introduced Mordecai to the king. The king also authorized Esther and Mordecai to issue a new decree in his name empowering the Jews to defend themselves and Persians who may want to harm them. Every story has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The Old Testament side is the side of troubles, struggles, and hopelessness. The New Testament side is the side of salvation and hope. The eighth chapter of the 17th book of the Bible is the beginning of the New Testament side of the book of Esther. The Jews in the land were elevated to the status of Persians. Oppression came to an end. This Day 117 is for a change of narrative. It is a day to go from obscurity to limelight, from sickness to health, from scarcity to plenty, from oppression to freedom, and from weakness to power.

On this day in 1992, Betty Boothroyd became the first woman to be elected Speaker of the British House of Commons in its 700-year history. On this day in 1994, South Africa held her first democratic general election in which black citizens could vote. The old constitution gave way to the new ‘Interim Constitution’.Heaven is rewriting stories today.

Day 117 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 17th week. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week is the Old Testament side. The last three days is the New Testament side. Day 117 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the 17th week; and has its guiding light in the first nine books of the New Testament. The first 9 books of the New Testament (the 5th division of the Bible) ts about the gospel of Jesus Christ and the interpretation of the finished work. Day 117 is a day of good news. It is a day of freedom. It is a day of victory.

Day 117 is a book of Psalms Day in the third 49 days of the year. The 19th book of the Bible is applicable to the 19th day in the third 49 days. The 19th book of the Bible is book interventions and testimonies. The psalmist believed in the power and sufficiency of God. He trusted in God and confessed his faith in Him. He prayed to Him, sang praises and gave thanks to Him. God was all in all to the psalmist. This is a day to give thanks to God the Doer of all things. This is a day to be preoccupied with Him.

Today, may the Lord favor you as He favored Esther in the fifth chapter of the seventeenth book; and as He favored Psalm 117 by making it part of the great 17th seven psalms.

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 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 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. Have a happy 117th day!

Day 116: The Mystery of April 26

Welcome to the 116th day of the year. Day 116 is the fourth day of the seventeenth week. It is also the eighteenth day in the third 49 days of the year. It is a fourth-season day. It is April 26 in a clear year; and April 25 in a leap year. The Bible keys for understanding the 116th day are the fourth day of creation narrative, the 116th psalm, and the fourth chapter of the fourth chapter of the 17th book of the Bible.

Day 116 is a fourth day of creation day in the 17th week. God made luminaries (the sun, moon, and stars) on the fourth day of creation. Darkness fights back in the fourth season but the luminaries of are designed to put the operations of darkness in check. Hell is let loose in fourth seasons but God’s people (the luminaries of the world) must learn to contain and dominate hell in this season. Day 116 is the middle of the 17th week. It is the bridge connecting the first three days to the last three days.

Day 116 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 17th week. This is the day ending the Old Testament side of the 17th week. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week is the Old Testament side. The last three days is the New Testament side. The last nine books of the Old Testament (the fourth division of the Bible) is applicable to the fourth day of the 17th week.

Day 116 is an Esther-chapter-seven day in the 17th week. The fourth prophetic section of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the fourth day of the seventeenth week of the year. The fourth section is the seventh chapter; and that was Haman’s dooms day chapter. On the second day of Esther’s banquet for the king and Haman, Esther opened up and reported Haman’s wickedness against the Jews to the king. The king rose from the banquet in fury. Haman knew he was in trouble and went the Queen to plead for his life. The king returned and saw Haman around his wife and felt insulted. While he was in anger, servants reported to him that Haman had erected a gallows for Mordecai. That was the end for Haman. He was hanged on the gallows he constructed for Mordecai. That was the end of the old order in the kingdom. That was the end of the Old Testament side of the book of Esther. The prevailing forces of the 17th week is ending today.

Day 116 is a book-of-Job day in the third 49 days of the year. It is the eighteenth day (fourth day of the third week) in the third seven weeks (49 days) of the year. Preservation is a critical need in the eighteenth season. Darkness came all out against Job in the 18th book of the Bible. God delivered him. Psalm 18 is another testimonial of preservation in the eighteenth season. God does not want His own destroyed in the 18th season. He wants them preserved. We must not surrender to problems in the eighteenth season; we should call upon God instead. The 18th book and 18th chapters of the Bible indicate that Day 116 is a day of deliverance from trouble.

Day 116 is a Psalm 116 day. This is a psalm of victory over darkness and death. It is a testimonial of preservation. 

A. I LOVE GOD BECAUSE HE ANSWERED MY PRAYER: Psalm 116:1-2 says, “I love the LORD, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. [2] Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live”. The love of God towards us is the reason we love Him. We love Him because He first loved us. His love for us is so pure and true. He deserves that we love; but we are so undeserving of His love – if love is ever to be deserved.

B. I WAS SURROUNDED BY DEATH BUT GOD DELIVERED ME: The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow. [4] Then I called upon the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!” [5] Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful. [6] The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. [7] Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. [8] For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling. [9] I will walk before the LORD In the land of the living. [10] I believed, therefore I spoke, “I am greatly afflicted.” [11] I said in my haste, “All men are liars.” 

C. THE MERCY OF GOD LAYS ON ME THE BURDEN OF GRATITUDE:

[12] What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? 

1. [13] I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD. 

2. [14] I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people. [15] Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints. [16] O LORD, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds. 

3. [17] I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD. 

4. [18] I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people, [19] In the courts of the LORD’s house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

Day 116 is a day of praying and receiving answers to prayers and supplications. It is a day to cry out for interventions and deliverances. It is a day of thanksgiving to God for all the benefits we enjoy and expect. Do not fear; go to God with your desires and requests.

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 116th day.

Day 115: The Mystery of April 25

By
Nkem Okemiri

Welcome to the 115th day of the year! Day 115 is a core third-season day. It is the third day of the third week in the third 49 days of the year. It is Day 17 in the third 49 days of year. It is April 25 in a clear year; and April 24 in a leap year. The Bible keys to understanding Day 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.

Day 115 is a third day of creation day. 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. Today (Day 115) is the third day of the third week in the third 49 days. Who gets the WIN today? I pray it’s you! The Gentiles will not say concerning, as in Psalm 115:2, “Where is their God?” Day 115 is the game-changing day in the 17th week and in the third 49 days of the year.

Day 115 is a Psalm 115 day. 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. Day 115 is a day of protest against the spirit of death that seeks to stop God’s people from praising God.

Day 115 is an Esther 5-6 day in the 17th week. The third two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the third day of the seventeenth week of the year. 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. Day 115 is a day of favor. It is a day for things that should not be to be. It is a day when those who should die are turned to life. It is a day when those who have the least chance are given the largest room. It is a day when the norm is suspended in favor of the least deserving. This is a day 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 day for hidden and forgotten people. It is a day of honor for those who trust in God; and a day of shame and humiliation for the proud and wicked.

Day 115 is death’s day of visitation when it’s cruel hands are tied and weakened. It is a day for God to arise against the plans of the wicked to kill and destroy. It is a day to overthrow death and agents of death. Today, the Lord will preserve you and beat down your adversary.

Day 115 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the 17th week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The third day of the week is the third day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the third 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the third 10 books of the Bible, God sent His prophets to speak to the people. They confronted the people, warned them against judgment, comforted the faithful, and brought judgment on the arrogant. The third day is for the overthrow of the rebellious and establishment of the humble and just. How you fare in this season depends on your attitude and response to the word of God. This is a day of prophetic confrontation and judgment.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. This is a day of manifestation. Do not be afraid to take a stand for the Lord. It is a season to come out of hiding and obscurity. It is a day to overthrow oppression and the oppressor. It is a day to establish the humble. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, be ready to hear His voice and respond by faith. Expect breakthrough. Be willing to sacrifice. Walk by faith! This is a day of breakthrough and pushing through barriers in the week. This is a day of unveiling. It is a day of answers to prayers. Today, pray for the overthrow of dysfunctional systems in the nations and in the church. Pray that God will make a way for the manifestation of hidden platforms and producers. Pray also that the forgotten functional people and things be remembered, recognized, and restored. Today, remember that when God delivers and manifests, it is for service and production. Do not consume His mercy on your lust. On this third day of the week, the oppressor will go down and the humble shall be delivered. Happy third day of the week!

Happy 115th day!

Day 114: The Mystery of April 24

By
Nkem Okemiri

Welcome to Day 114! Day 114 is a second season day. It is the second day of the seventeenth week of the year. It is also the sixteenth day in the third 49 days. It is April 24 in a clear year; and April 23 in a leap year. Bible keys to understanding Day 114 are the second day of creation narrative, Psalm 114, and the second chapter of the seventeenth book of the Bible. 

Day 114 is a second day of creation day in the 17th week. 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. On this 114th day of the year, God will make a way for you where there is no way.

Day 114 is a Psalm 114 day. 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. On this 114th day of the year, let Psalm 114 be your testimony – that obstacles fled before you too.

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. Father, I pray, today, that the waters give way before me and all your people – in the name of Jesus.

Day 114 is Esther-3-4 day in the 17th week. The second two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the second day of the seventeenth week of the year. 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. Day 114 is a day to battle evil monopolies through the power of God. It is a day to find or make a way where there’s no way. Day 114 is for those who believe and know that power belongs to God; and not to any man or spirit. 

Day 114 is a Book of Nehemiah Day in the third 49 days of the year. The sixteenth book of the Bible is applicable to the 16th day in the third 49 days. 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. This 16th day in the third 49 days 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.

Day 114 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 17th 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 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. May the Lord lead you to find a way where there is no way today. Happy 114th day!

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason.

Day 113: The Mystery of April 23

By
Nkem Okemiri

Welcome to the 113th day of the year! Day 113 is the first day of the seventeenth week. It is the fifteenth day of the third 49 days. Day 113 is a first-season day. It is April 23 in a clear year and April 22 in a leap year. The Bible keys to understanding Day 113 are the first day of creation narrative, Psalm 113, and the first chapter of the seventeenth book of the Bible.

Day 113 is a first day of creation day. On the first day of creation, God brought Light into existence. The Light of the first day 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”. Day 113 is a day to focus on God – His name and person, His nature, His Word and His works.

Day 113 is a Psalm 113 day. 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 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. Day 113 is a day to reflect on the loftiness, lowliness, and loveliness of God.

Day 113 is an Esther 1-2 day in the 17th week. The first 2 chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the first day of the seventeenth week of the year. 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 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. Day 113 is a day of miraculous interventions that humbles the might and lofty. It is a day to turn dry rocks into fountains of water for God’s people. It is a day to dismantle and clear obstacles. You are unstoppable today. Expect a miracle. The Lord will do for you as He did for Israel coming out of Egyptian bondage; and as He did for Esther coming out of obscurity in Persia. The choice of Esther as the new Queen 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. Day 113 is a day to showcase the magnanimity of God. It’s a day to enjoy God.

Day 113 is a book of Ezra day in the third 49 days of the year. The 15th book of the Bible is applicable to the 15th day 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. Day 113 is a turning point in the third 49 days of the year. It is a day to return to rebuild the ruins.

Day 113 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 17th week. This is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The 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. Be available for God today.

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.! Happy 113th day.

Day 112: The Mystery of April 22

Welcome to Day 112! Day 112 is the seventh and last day of the sixteenth week. It is the fourteenth day in the third 49 days. It is a seventh season day. Day 112 is April 22 in a clear year; and April 21 in a leap year.

Day 112 is a seventh day of creation day. On the seventh day of creation, God ended, and rested from, all His work. He did not create anything on that day. God also sanctified and blessed the seventh day. It is the only blessed day. The enemy intends it to be a day of unrest, unholiness, disasters, and curses. It is a day of results and rewards. Day 112 is a blessed day and a day of blessings for the upright. For the wicked and unjust, it is a cursed season.

Day 112 is a Psalm 112 day. This psalm is about the seven-point recompense of the man who fears God and delights in His word.

Psalm 112:1-10

[1] Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in His commandments. 

1. [2] His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 

2. [3] Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. 

3. [4] Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 

4. [5] A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 

5. [6] Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 

6. [7] He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. [8] His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 

7. [9] He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor [10] The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Day 111 is the sixth day of the sixteenth week. It is Day 13 in the third 49 days. It is a sixth-season day. Day 111 is April 21 in a clear year; and April 20 in a leap year. The Bible-pattern keys for understanding Day 111 are the sixth day of creation narrative, Psalm 111, the 13th book of the Bible, and the sixth 2 chapters of the sixteenth book of the Bible.

Day 111 is a sixth day of creation day. The sixth day of creation was the crowning day of creation or of the works of God. The sixth season is a season of Divine exploits. It is the season of the dominion of God. That is when He subdues, rules, and replenishes. In the sixth season, He exerts His Power as the Owner of heaven and earth.. Consequently, it is a season of prayer and praise to God for His works. It is also a season of fearing the Lord by doing His words. If we praise God but do not fear His name, our devotion to God is incomplete. 

Day 111 is a Psalm 111 day. This psalm opens with praising God for His works; and ends at the tenth verse with fearing God by keeping His commandments.

Psalm 111:1-9 says, 

[1] Praise the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation. 

[2] The works of the LORD are great, Studied by all who have pleasure in them. 

[3] His work is honorable and glorious, And His righteousness endures forever. 

[4] He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 

[5] He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant. 

[6] He has declared to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations. 

[7] The works of His hands are verity and justice; All His precepts are sure. [8] They stand fast forever and ever, And are done in truth and uprightness. 

[9] He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever: Holy and awesome is His name. 

Psalm 111:10 says, 

[10] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

Day 111 is a Nehemia 11-12 day. The sixth 2 chapters of the sixteenth book of the Bible are applicable to the sixth day of the sixteenth week of the year. The sixth 2 chapters of Nehemiah are about those who will live in Jerusalem. They picked one from every ten to live in Jerusalem and the rest to live in cities of Judah. This section of the book speaks of special ministers – priests, Levites, singers and gate keepers. adversaries of Judah sought to deceive and distract Nehemiah but they did not succeed. The work was completed and dedicated in this chapter. The enemies were depressed and knew that the work was done by God. Day 111 is a day of divine exploits. Today, step out by faith and trust the powerful Hand of God to do what needs to be done; and to do things you can’t do.

Day 111 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 16th 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. This 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. Have a happy and tremendously fruitful 111th day!

Day 110: The Mystery of April 20

Day 110 is the fifth day of the sixteenth week or the twelfth day in the third 49 days. It is a fifth-season day. It is April 20 in a clear year; and April 19 in a leap year. The Bible keys for understanding and interpreting Day 110 are the fifth day of creation narrative, Psalm 110, and the fifth chapter of the sixteenth book of the Bible. 

Day 110 is a fifth day of creation day in the 16th week. On the fifth day of creation, God made the birds of the air and the sea creatures. He made swimming and flying creatures. It is the power of God that sustains flying and swimming creatures to operate the way they do. The fifth book of the Bible, Deuteronomy, is about Israel in a waiting season. In Joshua 5, Israel was in a waiting season when their males were circumcised. This Day 110 is a time to relax and wait on the Lord in expectation of the fulfillment of His promise. The fifth season is the season of the strength of God. It is the season to soar high and go deep in the spirit.

Day 110 is a Psalm 110 day. Psalm 110 reminds us that the fifth season is waiting-preparation-season. The promise in this psalm is divided into two parts: the first is what the Lord will do for His anointed. The second is what the Lord will do to the enemies of His anointed.

GOD’S PROMISE TO HIS ANOINTED

Psalm 110:1-4 says, “The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool. [2] The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! [3] Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your power; In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth. [4] The LORD has sworn And will not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.”

Day 110 is a season of volunteers and Melchizedek-priestly ministry.

GOD’S PLAN AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF HIS ANOINTED

Psalm 110:5-7 says, “The Lord is at Your right hand; 

1. He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. 

2. [6] He shall judge among the nations, 

3. He shall fill the places with dead bodies, 

4. He shall execute the heads of many countries. 

5. [7] He shall drink of the brook by the wayside; Therefore He shall lift up the head.

Psalm 110 reveals that Day 110 is a day of war against the enemies of God.

Day 110 is a Nehemiah 9-10 day in the 16th week. The fifth two chapters of the 16th book of the Bible are applicable to the fifth day of the sixteenth week. In the ninth chapter, Nehemiah and the people spent a quarter of the day giving attention to the law. They confessed their sins and repented before God. In the tenth chapter, the people covenanted to serve the Lord and sealed the covenant.

Day 110 is a day of throwing yourself into the hand of God for rewards. It is not a day of struggling to get for yourself but a day of laboring secretly and quietly and trusting God to reward you openly. Today, rest in the Lord and trust Him to come through for you.

Day 110 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 16th 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 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 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. Happy 110th day!
