Day 213: The Mystery of August 1

0

Welcome to a new day!

Let us begin with the FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY: These will help you to view the day from its different angles.

Today Is

  1. 1. August 1 (in a Clear year) but July 31 (in a Leap year).

2. The third day of the 31st Week (July 30 – August 5 in a Clear year/ July 29 – August 4 in a Leap year).

3. The 17th day in the fifth 7 Weeks of the year. (July 16 – September 2 in a clear year/ July 15 – September 1 in a leap year).

4. The 213th day of the year (from January 1). In this article, this day will be called Day 213.

5. it is a third-season day because it is the third day of the 31st week of the year.


BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

The Bible patterns for understanding this 213th day are

1. The third day of creation narrative.(Genesis 1: 9-13)

2. The 17th book of the Bible (Esther)

3. The 17th chapters of the books of the Bible.

4. The third 10 books of the Old Testament (Ecclesiastes – Amos).

Day 213 is a third day of creation narrative. On the third day of creation, God overthrew the waters, delivered the dry ground to be a platform for all things and to bring forth life and sustenance in vegetation. God’s battle against the waters ended on this day. The tyranny of the waters over the sold ground also ended on that day. From that day, the hidden solid ground was no longer hidden. God lifts the head of the oppressed in the 3rd season. Day 213 is for the overthrow of tyrants and killers. It is a day of new life. It is a day of victory over death.

Day 213 is a book of Esther day. The book of Esther is the 17th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 17th day in the fifth 49 days of the year. In the book of of Esther, three people were overthrown. The first was Vashti – the king’s wife who disobeyed him. She was deposed as queen and Esther was found, among many virgins, to take her place. The second persons were Bigthan and Teresh who sought to assassinate the king. Mordecai learnt of the plot, reported it to Esther who then alerted the king. They were executed. The third was Haman, the King’s deputy who plotted the exterminate Jews in the kingdom because Mordecai did not bow to him. Esther threw light on Haman’s plot. The king commanded he be hanged on the gallows he made for Mordecai. His position and possession was given to Mordecai. His plot against the Jews  was overturned. In the book of Esther, Persians went down that Jews may be exalted. Day 213 is a season of overthrow, deliverance, and manifestation of potential. 

Day 213 is a 17th chapters of the Bible Day in the fifth 49 days of the year. The 17th chapters of the Bible reveal that Day 213 is a day of triumph over death, scarcity and dryness. The first account of raising the dead in the Bible is in the 17th chapter of First Kings. Miraculous provisions are recorded in Exodus 17, First Kings 17, and Matthew 17. There are accounts of supernatural triumphs and turnarounds in Numbers 17, First Samuel 17, Second Samuel 17, Luke 17 and John 17.

Day 213 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the 31st 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. Day 213 is the day before the end of the Old Testament side of the week; and has its guiding light in the third ten books of the Bible. The third 10 books is the home of the major prophets – Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Hosea – the pre-captivity and captivity prophets. They were prophetic voices in Israel’s dark days. The third is the season of the last battle. How you fare itoday 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 31st week. This is a day of unveiling. It is a day of answers to prayers. Today, pray for the overthrow of dysfunctional systems in the nations and in the church. Pray that God will make a way for the manifestation of hidden platforms and producers. Pray also that the forgotten functional people and things be remembered, recognized, and restored. Today, remember that when God delivers and manifests, it is for service and production. Do not consume His mercy on your lust. Happy 213th day!.

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason. Your arrival on the third day of the 31st week is an announcement concerning your identity and purpose. You came on a game-changing day because you are a game-changer. You were born to overturn sentences of death. You were born for the preservation of life. You were born to work against terminators of life. You were born to shut the gate of death and open the gate of life. You were born in a season when dead things come back to life. Your secret will be to stay connected to the One Who raises the dead – that is God. You should be a believer in miracles. You should be a person of prayer, fasting, and faith. You were born to make or see the impossible possible. You were born to believe for the change of the impossible.

ON THIS DAY IN 2023, Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was indicted over efforts to overturn 2020 presidential election and block transfer of power.

The Mystery of July 31 The Mystery of August 2

The 10th Seven Years of Nations

0

Welcome to the season of the 10th seven years. This is also called the 10th prophetic week. The tenth prophetic week is the third seven years in the second 49 years The major Bible patterns for understanding the 10th seven years are 1) the third-day-of-creation narrative; 2) the third book of the Bible; 3) the third six chapters of Exodus; 4) the tenth book of the Bible; 5) the tenth chapters of the Bible. Here are five things about the tenth week from the patterns:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PRAYERS FOR THE 10TH SEVEN YEARS OF NATIONS

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

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

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

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

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

The Mystery of the 63rd Birthday (Anniversary)

0

So, you have completed and marked the 63rd year? Congratulations and welcome to the 64th year. The 64th year is the 12-month season following the 63rd birthday or Anniversary. The 64th year is the first year and beginning of the tenth 7 years or the 10th prophetic week. A prophetic week is a seven-year season. Year 64 is also the 15th year in the second 49 years (50-98).

There are six Biblical patterns for understanding the 64th year:

1) the first day of creation narrative;

2) the 64th book of the Bible;

3) the 64th chapters of the Bible;

4) the first four chapters of Second Samuel (the 10th book of the Bible),

5) the first 10 books of the Bible, and

6) the 15th book of the Bible (Ezra)..

  1. Year 64 is a first day of creation year in the tenth prophet’ic week. God created light on the first to dispel darkness. So, without the intervention of Light, Day 64 is a day of darkness. God is Light and there is no darkness in Him. It is the presence and intervention of God that makes Year 64 a day of Light. This year, may the light shining through you overthrow and triumph over the dominating darkness. As God separated the light from the darkness on the first day of creation, may He separate you, this year, from the crowd you shouldn’t be part of.

2. Year 64 is a Second Samuel 1-4 year in the 10th seven years. The first four chapters of the tenth book of the Bible is applicable to the first year of the tenth prophet’ic week. This section of the book is full of evil news and mourning. News of the death of Saul and Jonathan came to David in the first chapter of the book. David mourned on that day. He executed the Amalekite that brought him the sad news, and Saul’s crown; because the man confessed he helped Saul die. In the second chapter, Abner killed Asahel, Joab’s brother. In the third chapter, Joab killed Abner as he brought elders of Israel to make covenant with David; and the son of Jesse was thrown into mourning again. In the fourth chapter, Ishbosheth, Saul’s successor was murdered by his servants. Saul’s dynasty ended when he died. Although it was David’s turn to rule, he would not have killed Ishbosheth. Those who murdered and beheaded Ishbosheth thought to do David a favor and also obtain favor from him. David executed them for their wickedness and mourned Ishbosheth. The stories in the opening chapters of Second Samuel were stories that brought grief to David. Good things were happening for him but it was mixed with so much pain. May the Lord keep sorrowing and mourning far from you this year! Evil news will not pollute your joy this year! Trust God to help you to be sensitive to discern and detect the hidden agenda in the hearts of people this year.

3. Year 64 is a book of Third John year. Third John is the 64th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 64th year. John wrote this epistle to “Beloved Gaius”. This book breathes out three things: the first is CONCERN. 3 John 1:2 says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”. The second is COMMENDATION. 3 John 1:5 says, “Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers”. Demetrius is also commended in verse 12. The third is CONDEMNATION. John condemned the proud and pompous attitude of Diotrephes towards the brethren (verses 9-11). In the 64th book of the Bible, John prays the great ‘Prosperity Prayer’; commends the liberality of Gaius, and lashes out against Dotrephes “who loves to have the preeminence” among the brethren. The 64th book of the Bible reveals that the 64th year is a year of remembrance of good works and evil works. God remembers those who have done well and those who have not done well.

4a. Year 64 is a Psalm 64 year. Psalm 64 reveals that the 64th season is for crying out to God. The 10th seven years is a season when pressure mounts against the righteous with intense force. This compels the righteous to cry out to God. So, the 64th year is for crying out to God against wickedness and securing His intervention. Psalm 64 bears witness to that. Psalm 64:1-10 says, “Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. [2] Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, [3] Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows-bitter words, [4] That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear. [5] They encourage themselves in an evil matter; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, “Who will see them?” [6] They devise iniquities: “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. [7] But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded. [8] So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away. [9] All men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing. [10] The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.

4b. Year 64 is Isaiah 64 year. Isaiah 64:1-4 reveals that God works for those who trust Him in the 64th season. It says, “Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence- [2] As fire burns brushwood, As fire causes water to boil- To make Your name known to Your adversaries, That the nations may tremble at Your presence! [3] When You did awesome things for which we did not look, You came down, The mountains shook at Your presence. [4] For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him”

5. Year 64 is a book of Ezra year. The 64th year is the 15th year in the second 49 years of life. It is the beginning of the third seven years in the second ,49 years (50-98). The year has its guiding light in the fifteenth book of the Bible. (Ezra). It also has guiding light in the fifteenth chapters of the Bible. The book of Ezra begins with proclamation of Cyrus, king of Persia, to free the Jews to go and rebuild the temple at Jerusalem. This a season when the word Lord comes to remembrance. God stirred the heart of King Cyrus to make the proclamation in the book of Ezra so that the word of God through Jeremiah might be fulfilled. In First Samuel, 15, Samuel sent Saul to go and destroy Amalek so that the word of God through Joshua (in Exodus 17) may be fulfilled. God comes to fulfill His word in the 15th year. So, the 64th year is a year of great hope. In this year, the Lord will want to clear, from the way, every obstruction to the fulfillment of His word in your life.

6. Year 64 is Genesis – Second Samuel year in 10th prophetic week. Going through any seven days, seven weeks, or seven years is like taking a journey through the Bible. The first four years of any seven-year season is the Old Testament side of that prophetic week. The last three years of the prophetic week is the New Testament side of the seven-year season. This first year of the 10th prophetic week has its pattern and guiding light in the first 10 books of the Bible. In those books, God views people and nations according to how they align with Light or darkness. In those books, men who align with God are separated from the rest for favor– in family or nation. They are books of separation, distinction, and difference. Today, may the Lord pick you out and separate you from the crowd.

This year, pray that the Lord would scatter and terrify the wicked by His presence. Take a determined stand against darkness. Pray that you will not be the carrier, subject, or receiver, of evil news; and that mourning will be far from you. Happy 64th year!

Day 212: The Mystery of July 31

0

Welcome to the 212th day of the year! Day 212 is the second day of the 31st week, the second day of the third week in the fifth 49 days of the year, and the 16th day in the fifth 49 days. Day 212 is July 31 in a clear year; and July 30 in a leap year. The Bible patterns for understanding the 212th day are the second day of creation narrative, the sixteenth book of the Bible and the sixteenth chapters of the Bible. 

Day 212 is a second day of creation day in the 9th week. On the second day of creation, God made the firmament to divide the waters that covered and filled all space; and create space between the waters for a space-less world. The second season is for making a way where there is no way; and this often happens through through prayers, prophetic decrees, faith, and wisdom. Day 212 is a day to introduce space-makers and space-givers.

Since the 212th day is part of the 31st week, the 31st chapter of Psalms can be applied to this second day. Psalm 31 is a prayer to God for deliverance from enemies. 1. “…Deliver me in Your righteousness”. 2. “Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me”  3. “… Lead me and guide me”.  4. “Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me…” 5. Psalm 31:9-13 says, “Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body! [10] For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away. [11] I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me. [12] I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel. [13] For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life”. 6. “Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me. [16] Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake. [17] Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous”. 7. “Blessed be the LORD, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city! [22] For I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You. [23] Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person. [24] Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD”. The psalmist found a way out of His predicament by prayer. He called upon God and was heard. Today, bring your hopeless situations before God and seek His intervention. 

Day 212 is a book of Nehemiah day. Nehemiah is the 16th book of the Bible; and is applicable to this 16th day in the fifth 49 days of the year. In the 16th book of the Bible, Nehemiah received a vision to go and rebuild the ruined walls of Jerusalem. He did not have the freedom, manpower, or resources to do that. God made a way. The king gave him leave and also supported him materially. He faced serious opposition but God gave him victory and the work was completed in 52 days. Nehemiah, with Ezra, also led the people to make a fresh commitment to God. The book of Nehemiah teaches that Day 212 is a day to trust God to make a way where there is no way. It is a day of overcoming resistance and opposition in doing the will of God. 

Day 212 is a 16th Chapters of the Bible day. In Exodus 16, God began to feed the children the of Israel with Manna in the wilderness. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were imprisoned for casting out a demon from a slave girl. God made a way for them to come out of prison. They won souls there too. Day 212 is a day to triumph over opposition and resistance. In Mark 16, Jesus rose from the dead and came out of a sealed without human assistance. He commissioned His followers to go and preach the gospel to every with miraculous signs following. 

Day 212 is First Kings – Proverbs Day in the 31st 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 king’s 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 kingdom 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; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph 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 and overthrow evil controlling powers 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. Happy 212th day!

BORN ON THIS DAY? There is a reason you came into this world on this day. You are a Nehemiah. You were born to rebuild what was broken down. You are a Restorer of ruined. You were born to fight for the dignity of man. You were born to war against oppression and reproach. For you, the secret of strength is in establishment a living vital connection with heaven. You were made to be backed by heaven for protection, provision, and production. Your strength is in prayer and strong connection to the Heavenly Way-Maker.

The 62nd Birthday/Anniversary and the 63rd Year

0

Congratulations and your 62nd birthday or anniversary and welcome to the 63rd year. The 62nd birthday is the end of the 62nd year and the beginning of the 63rd year. The 63rd year is the 12-month season following the 62nd birthday or anniversary.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE 63RD YEAR

Year 63 is the seventh and last year of the 9th seven years (57-63) or 9th prophetic week. It is also the fourteenth year in the second 49 years. It is the year of the redeemed when Heaven goes to war on behalf of the anointed.

The Bible patterns for understanding the 63rd year are

1) the seventh day of creation narrative;

2) the 63rd book of the Bible;

3) the 63rd chapters of the Bible;

4) the seventh section, or last seven chapters (25-31) of First Samuel – the 9th book of the Bible.

5. The 14th book and 14th chapters of the Bible.

Year 63 is a seventh-day-of-creation year in the 9th prophetic week. The 63rd year is a sabbath-year and has a pattern in the narrative of the 7th day of creation. It is a year of results. It is a set-apart (sanctified) year. It is a blessed year. It is a year of rest. God did not create anything on the seventh day. He rested on that day; and so, blessed and sanctified the seventh day. It was a no-work, and no-worries, day. God did not rest because of tiredness; but because He had made all things ready. Nothing was left undone. The seventh season is when it ends. From the seventh day of creation we learn that Year 63 is a time to believe and declare that the battle is over. The rest of the seventh season is a rest of faith. It is a rest we enter into by believing God’s word that it is done. The seventh season is for release from struggles. This year, you must enter into the rest of God. You must rest in the grace of the finished work. Live in the consciousness that all is done and that the prayers are answered. This year is for standing on the Word of God and seeing it manifest.

Year 63 is a First-Samuel 28-31 year in the 9th seven years. The last 4 chapters of the 9th book of the Bible is applicable to the last year of the 9th prophetic week. In this seventh section of First Samuel, David no longer needed to fight for himself. In the 28th chapter, Saul went to consult the witch at Endor and there received his death sentence. He went to a witch instead of turning to God in repentance. Can you imagine the contradiction of looking for (the spirit of) Samuel in the house of a witch? In the 29th chapter, David went to fight for Achish in a battle against Israel. The lords of the Philistines recognized him and objected. The king discharged him and he returned to his base at Ziklag. He did not have to go to war where he would be expected to fight Saul and all Israel. In the 30th chapter, Amalekites raided Ziklag where David and his men lived; burnt their camp and took away their wives and children, David and his men pursued and recovered all. In the 31st chapter, Saul and his sons died in the battle against the Philistines. This season must have been very tough for David. He lived hypocritically among Philistines until the death of Saul. Living a double life is not God’s intention for the season. God delivered him from double dealing. This year, may the Lord deliver you from battles you shouldn’t fight. May the Lord bring down your adversaries by Himself. This is a year to stand still and see the salvation of God.

Year 63 is a book-of-Second-John year. Second John is the 63rd book of the Bible; and is addressed to “the Elect Lady”. The 63rd book of the Bible is applicable to the 63rd year. This book is about walking in the ‘truth’, keeping ‘commandments’, and holding to the ‘doctrine’. The seventh season is not a time to do your pleasure but a time to do God’s pleasure. It is a season of devotion to God. The 63rd season is a time to watch out against error and deception.

Year 63 is a Psalm 63 year. It is a year to cling to the Lord, pursue fellowship with Him, and be wrapped up in His love. The 63rd season is the Lord’s sabbath and is about Him, His power, glory, loving kindness, name, wings, and right hand. It is a season to desire and seek the manifestation of the saving power and majesty of God. Psalm 63:1-2 says, “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. [2] So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory”. Psalm 63:9-10 says, “But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. [10] They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals”. This declaration of the psalmist agrees with what happened to Saul in First Samuel 31. 

Year 63 is an Isaiah 63 year. In Isaiah 63, the Lord is Redeemer, Avenger, and Savior. Year 63 is for celebrating the loving kindness of the Lord expressed in His salvation and deliverance. Isaiah 63 is a revelation that the battle had been fought and won. Isaiah 63:3-6 says, “I have trodden the winepress alone, And from the peoples no one was with Me. For I have trodden them in My anger, And trampled them in My fury; Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, And I have stained all My robes. [4] For the day of vengeance is in My heart, And the year of My redeemed has come. [5] I looked, but there was no one to help, And I wondered That there was no one to uphold; Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me; And My own fury, it sustained Me. [6] I have trodden down the peoples in My anger, Made them drunk in My fury, And brought down their strength to the earth.” This 63rd year, the Lord will tread down your adversaries in His anger.

Year 63 is a Book of Second Chronicles year. The 63rd year is the 14th year in the Second 49 years of of life. This season has its guiding light in the 14th book of the Bible (2 Chronicles) and in the 14th chapters of the Bible. The 63rd year is a season of Intervention. The enemy comes all out to devour and swallow in this season but God always shows Himself a great deliverer in this season (Genesis 14; Exodus 14; Judges 14; 1 Samuel 14; 2 Chronicles 14; John 14; Acts 14); It was in the 14th year of the reign of Hezekiah that both Sennacherib and death came after him but God intervened in both cases (Isaiah 36-38). Although Judah went to captivity in the 14th book of the Bible, the book closed with the proclamation of Cyrus to free the captives. This 63rd is a year of divine intervention. Pray for it and expect it.

Year 63 is Hebrews – Revelation year in the 9th seven years. Every seven-year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The last three years of the seven-year season belongs to the New Testament side of the prophetic week. It is the ‘good news’ part of the 7-year season. The last year of the prophetic week has its guiding light in the last nine books of the Bible (or the last 9 books of the New Testament. They are books of recovery and restoration. Year 63 is a year of recovery and restoration. May this year be a year of fulfillment for you. 

Year 63 is a 14th chapters of the Bible year (in the Second 49 years). As the 14th year in the Second 49 years, Year 63 has its guiding light in the 14th chapters of the Bible. The14th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 14th season is the Lord’s season of intervention and vengeance. Abraham rescued Lot in Genesis 14. God drowned Pharaoh’s army in the Red Sea in Exodus 14. Samson began to subdue the Philistines in Judges 14. Jonathan and his armor-bearer defeated Philistines in First Samuel 14. God lengthened Hezekiah’s life and destroyed Sennacherib in the 14th year of Hezekiah’s reign. Year 63 is a year of intervention and vengeance. Look up!

In this year of faith-rest, pour out your heart to God in worship and celebration of His goodness. He is the One that fights your battles. He has fought and won the battles of the 9th prophetic week! The deliverance of God’s elect is costly on the enemies of the Lord. On one hand, the 63rd year is a year of light and gladness (for the redeemed); but on the other hand, it is a year of sorrow and grief (for the adversaries of the Lord). May this last year of the 9th prophetic week end for you as the 9th book of the Bible ended for David; as the 9th chapter of the 9th book ended for Saul; as the 9th chapter of Esther ended for the Jews; as the 9th chapter of Daniel ended for the prophet; as the ninth chapter of Acts ended for the Believers at Damascus, for Brother Aeneas, and for Sister Dorcas.

Happy 63rd year!

Day 62: The Mystery of March 3

0

Welcome to the 62nd day of the year. Day 62 is the sixth day of the ninth week; and the 13th day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 62 is March 3 in a clear year and March 2 in a leap year. It is the third day of the third month. The Bible patterns for understanding the 62nd day are 1) the sixth day of creation narrative; 2) the 62nd book of the Bible; 3) the 62nd chapters of the Bible; 4) the sixth four chapters (21-24) of First Samuel, the 9th book of the Bible.

Day 62 is a sixth day of creation day in the 9th week. God made land animals on the sixth day. However, He also made man in His image and after His likeness on the sixth day. The made ‘the living creature’ in the image and likeness of the Living Creator. He made man to dominate and bear rule on earth. He made man to be the agent of God on earth. Alignment with God and cooperation with Him is what He expects in the sixth season. Day 62 is a day to pursue the realization of the full and original intention of the Creator. It is a season to express God and bring all things under the rulership and dominion of God. Day 62 is a kingdom of God day. It is a season of conflict between the forces of godliness and the forces of ungodliness.

Day 62 is a First Samuel 24-27 day in the 9th week. In this sixth section chapters of First Samuel, the search for David’s life, and the intensity of Saul’s hatred for him, had so increased that David could no longer stay in Israel. In the 24th chapter, David spared Saul’s life when He could have killed him. That was the height of godliness in David’s life. In the 25th chapter Abigail saved him from killing Nabal; an Israelite. Samuel died in this chapter. Nabal died of himself in this chapter also. David married Abigail the wife of Nabal and Ahinoam of Jezreel. Saul had given his daughter, Michal, David’s wife to someone else. In the 26th chapter, David spared Saul’s life at the wilderness of Ziph. That was the second time he was saved from shedding blood. In the 27th chapter, he returned to Achish seeking asylum. He was given a place at Ziklag to live with his men and their families. There, he was killing Philistines but pretended to be working for their king. First Samuel 24-27 reveals that succeeding in the 62nd season is a matter of receiving and following divine guidance. David was surrounded by death; but seeking God and listening to His voice preserved him. 

Day 62 is a book-of-First-John day. The 62nd book of the Bible, First John, is about the recovery of the life and nature of God in God’s children. It is about manifesting the life, Light, and love of God. The only way to prove we have fellowship with God is to walk in the light. The way to prove we are alive in God is to love the brethren. The reason it is necessary to manifest the life, light, and love, nature of God in the 62nd season is because of the tendency of the people of the world to manifest the death, darkness, and hate, nature of the evil one in the same season.

Day 62 is a 62nd-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 62nd chapters of the Bible reveal that the 62nd season is for pressing and holding on to God till the counsel of God is established, recovered, and restored. It is a season of action to receive the will of God. It is a season of recovery and restoration. In the 62nd season, we have a sure vital part to play in taking delivery of God’s plan for our lives. Though God may have given us the city, we must play an active role in possessing it. Psalm 62 is about waiting for the delivery of an expectation from God. It shows the 62nd day is a season to expect and pursue the fulfillment of God’s promises. Psalm 62:1,5 says, “Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. [5] My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him”. This sounds like what David would pray as he hid in caves, from Saul, to save his life. He trusted in the One Who initiated his anointing to bring him to the throne. He rejected the cheap way of killing Saul. Isaiah 62 is about the quest for the restoration of Zion and Jerusalem. Isaiah 62:1,6-7 says, “For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns. [6] I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, [7] And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth”.

Day 62 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the ninth week. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. Day 62 is the second day in the New Testament side of the 9th week. The second nine books of the New Testament are applicable to the second on this New Testament side of the week. The second 9 books of the New Testament are books of instruction amid spiritual warfare from insubordination, heresies, and persecutions. Day 62 is a day of intense spiritual conflict; but God guarantees victory as we follow His Wisdom. Today is a day to triumph in warfare through instructions. The second 9 books of the N.T are mentoring books. The pastoral epistles of Paul are in this section. This section of the Bible is for “the preparation of the man of God”.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. Today, show that your primary allegiance is to the God of Israel. You are made in the image and likeness of God. This is a day to commemorate and relive the creation of man in the image and likeness of God. Today, make your way back to the Lord. Even if you are not a backslider, you can still get closer to the goal of expressing the Lord – as His image and likeness. Today, stand out for God as His representative and look into your life, and look around, for things and areas that need to be conformed to God’s standards. Today, pray that the kingdom comes, by the word of God, to establish God’s will in your life, family, church, community, nation; and in the nations of the world. Today, get ready to subdue the enemy through godliness. Give attention to His Word and be guided by Him – not your fears. Happy 62nd day!

The 9th Seven Years of Life

0

Welcome to the season of the ninth 7 years (57-63). The ninth 7 years is also called the 9th prophetic week. It begins after the 56th anniversary or birthday; and ends with the 63rd anniversary or birthday. Every seven year season is a prophetic week. The 9th seven years is the second prophetic week in the second 49 years of life (50-98) It is a core second-season. We can gain understanding about the 9th prophetic week from the second day of creation narrative, the ninth book and ninth chapters of the Bible, the 9th seven books of the Bible, and the second six chapters of Exodus (7-12). I pray that a full package of the good things of the ninth season will be your portion this prophetic week. What is revealed here about the ninth week is equally applicable to people, families, organizations, and nations, going through the ninth seven years (57-63).

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

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

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

The 9th seven years is a ninth chapters of the Bible season. The ninth chapters of the Bible reveal that the ninth season is:

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

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

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

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

REVIEW OF 9TH SEASON THINGS

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

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

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

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

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

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

PRAYERS FOR THE 9TH WEEK

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

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

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

4. Let there be opening of eyes for me in this prophetic week. Let the seer-anointing come upon me to see hidden things and things I have never seen before. In the ninth chapter of the ninth book of the Bible, Samuel was a Seer. But Eli’s eyes were dim. In the ninth chapter of John, a man born blind man was healed. In the 9th chapter of Matthew, two blind men received their sight. In the ninth chapter of Acts, Saul of Tarsus was healed from blindness.

Day 211: The Mystery of July 30

0

Welcome to the 211th day of the year! Day 211 is the first day of the 31st week! This is the first day of the third week in the fifth 49 days; and the fifteenth day in the fifth 49th day. Day 211 is July 30 in a clear year; and July 29 in a leap year. The basic Bible patterns for understanding the 211th day are

The first day of creation; The 15th book and 15th chapters of the Bible; and The 31st book of the Bible, Obadiah.

Day 211 is a first day of creation day in the 31st week. It is a first-season day. On the first day of creation, God did not only create light to displace darkness, He also separated (divided) the light from the darkness. A first-day season, like Day 211, is a season of conflict with darkness in which Light (God’s word) triumphs. It is a season of ending the rule of darkness. It is a day of joy. It is a day of good news. It is a day of divine intervention to end evil and discomfort.

Day 211 is a book of a book-of-Ezra day in the Firth 49 days. Ezra is the fifteenth book of the Bible; and reveals the following things about the fifteenth: 

1. It is a season of the word of the Lord. Cyrus responds properly to the word of the Lord to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and to release any captives who desire to return to Jerusalem. It is not just a season of the word but a season of the written word. (Ezra 1: 1). Notice that the proclamation of Cyrus was written. If the proclamation was not written, the opposition would have succeeded in frustrating the rebuilding of the temple. (Ezra 6:1-12). Our strength is the written word. That is why persecution and heresies cannot stop the church. 

2. It is the season of prophets and teachers of the word. Any season in which the word of the Lord is prominent is a great season for prophets. Prophets who have the word of the Lord are a great need in the season of the fifteenth. In rebuilding the temple, the prophets of God featured prominently. (Ezra 5: 1, 2). (Ezra 6:14). Prophets of restoration are needed in the season of ‘the fifteenth’ (Ezra 7:1, 3-6, 8-10).

3. It is a season of restoration: for the people, the temple, and the worship of Jehovah. It is in the fifteenth that ruins are restored. It is a new beginning.

4. It is a season of gladness and offering praises to God. (Ezra 3:10, 11 ; 6:19, 22).

5. It is a season of the emergence of new leadership. Ezra and the others mentioned in this book had not been popular until this decree of Cyrus. The fifteenth book of the Bible is named after ‘Ezra’ whose name means ‘help’. ‘Help’ – divine help is what you find in the book of Ezra.

6. It is a season of looking away from man and trusting God completely. In Genesis 15, Abraham believed the loftiest promise ever made to a man and it was counted to him for righteousness. Zerubbabel and his companions rejected the help of men in the rebuilding of the house of God.(Ezra 4:1-3). Ezra trusted God more than the king’s army: (Ezra 8: 21-23).

7. It is a season of offerings to God: Both Persians and Jews offered greatly for the rebuilding of the temple. (Ezra 8:35). There was no lack of resources for the project.

8. The fifteenth is a season of divine support. The 15th Hebrew alphabet, SAMECH means ‘to support’. God supports the weak and oppressed in ‘the fifteenth’. The Persian kings supported, greatly, the work of the Lord as shown in this fifteenth book of the Bible. (Ezra 8:36).

9. It is a season of repentance from sin. There can be no true restoration until the people of God begin to mourn for sin and separate themselves from iniquity. We cannot be at ease, smiling, when things are not right among God’s people. Ezra did not gloss over sin: (Ezra 9:1-5, 15).

10. It is a season of separating from the world and fully returning to the Lord. Repentance should be active. It makes no sense to confess sin and still remain in it. (Ezra 10:1-6). Confessing sin and forsaking it must go together. 

Day 211 is a 15th chapters the Bible day. The 15th chapters of the Bible reveal that the fifth season is a new beginning. The 15th chapter was the beginning of the promise of children to Abraham. In the fifteenth chapter of Luke, the prodigal son had a new beginning. In Acts 15 the Christian Council was held in Jerusalem and ended formal admission of Gentiles into the Church. This is of recovering what was lost (Luke 15) and of rebuilding ruins.

This 15th day in the fifth 49days is part of the 31st week; so, God’s agenda for the day also corresponds to His agenda for the 31st week. The 31st book of the Bible is about making a positive new beginning. In Genesis 31, Jacob and Laban’s sons (his brothers in-law) clashed. Genesis 31:1-3 says, “Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has acquired all this wealth.” [2] And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and indeed it was not favorable toward him as before. [3] Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your family, and I will be with you.”

There are conflicts that happen and you know your time in a place is up. That was what happened to Jacob. He had been with Laban for twenty years and now had eleven sons and a daughter from four women; and also rich in livestock. He had overtaken his master in wealth. Like the covering of the night, Laban did not know when Jacob escaped to return with his family and all he had. In the same way, Jacob did not know it was Rachel who stole Laban’s household idols. Although Laban called the name of the Lord, he was an idol worshipper; and Rachel was going to bring idols into the house of Jacob. She did not understand the ideological differences between the house of Laban and the house of Jacob. Separation from Laban was not just not just the end of ‘servitude’; it was also the end of the mixture between light and darkness. The fifteenth season is for separation from mixtures. The 31st season is for separation from unholy mixtures. It is a season to be single-eyed and whole-hearted. The 31st book of the Bible has only one chapter. You must not be divided in this day and week.  

Day 211 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 31st 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. This is a day of aligning with God and becoming a man (woman) after His heart.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the collapse and end of expressions and manifestations of darkness in your  life and world. Decree that expressions of light will triumph in this first day of the 31st 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. Although the 15th season is a time of pressures, your movements and actions in it must be guided. Do not be impulse. Let the Lord guide you. Today, be determined to separate yourself from mixtures. Pray for others who need to be separated from mixtures too.  Separate from people who are not happy with you but only what to use you. Separate from people whose ideological position you do not share. Happy 211th day!

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason. You were born on a day when lost things are recovered. You are a recovery of what was lost in your family, community, world or generation. You were born to return things to their original stage. You are a seeker of the lost – people or things. Your strength is in light from the Word of God. You are designed to see by the revelation of truth. Pray for illumination from God so can open the eyes of others. You have an Ezra anointing that needs to be activated and refreshed (Ezra 7:10).

The Mystery of the 60th Birthday or Anniversary

0

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

0

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.

Year 60 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 9th even years. Every seven-year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four years of the seven year season is the first Old Testament side and the last three years is the New Testament side. The last 9 books of the Old Testament is applicable to the fourth and last year in the Old Testament side of the week. The last nine books of the Old Testament constitute the bridge linking the Old Testament and the New Testament. The 60th year is the end of the Old Testament side of the ninth seven years. It is the end of a phase of life.

This 60th year, decree that there be light-givers to keep darkness from holding sway in your life and circumstances. It is your season to shine and give light to those in darkness. This year, be on your guard against depression, deception, and making foolish utterances, and unreasonable decisions. Seek counsel; and be guided by light from God’s word, revelation, and wise and godly people. Do not despise the voice of wisdom and counsel. Speak the word of God instead of your fears and feelings. Do not fear; you’re not the first to go through the 60th year; and the Bible says many good things about the 60th. Happy 60th year!
