Day 75: The Mystery of March 16

Welcome to the 75th day of the year! Day 75 is the fifth day of the eleventh week; and also the 26th day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 75 is a fifth-season day. It is March 16 in a clear year and March 15 in a leap year. Bible keys to understanding and interpreting the 75th day are the 5th day creation-narrative, the 75th psalm, and the fifth three chapters (13-15) of First Kings.

A. Day 75 is a fifth day of creation day in the eleventh week. God created sea creatures and birds of the air on the fifth day. That was the beginning of moving flesh-blood creatures. The birds fly with wings and the fish swim with fins. Balance is a key word for the fifth season; and points to justice and fairness. The fifth season is when men are weighed in a balance. As a fifth-season day, the 75th day is a day of measurement and evaluation and judgment.

B. Day 75 is a First Kings 14-16 day in the eleventh week. The three chapters in the fifth section of the eleventh book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the eleventh week. In these three chapters, God confronted and judged the house of Jeroboam. In the thirteenth chapter, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel to prophesy against the altar in Bethel. Jeroboam reacted against him but was punished until the prophet prayed for him. The prophet was also judged for disobeying the word of the Lord. A lion killed him. Both Jeroboam and his youngest son died in the fourteenth chapter. There is no difference between Jeroboam and the man of God from Judah. Both of them walked away from the word of the Lord. After the death of Jeroboam, one of his sons, Nadab, became king. Baasha murdered him and took his place. From these three chapters, we learn that the 75th day is judgment day. If you you received the word of the Lord, do not walk away from it – for any reason. God is Judge in the 75th season.

Day 75 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the eleventh week. It is a Matthew to Galatians season in the eleventh week. Every seven-day week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days is the Old Testament side; while the remaining three days is the New Testament side. Going through the first 4 days is like going through the 39 books of the Old Testament. Going through the remaining 3 days is like going through the 27 books of the New Testament – each day expressing nine books of the New Testament. As the first day on the New Testament side of the week, Day 75 has it guiding light in the first 9 books of the New Testament. The ministry of Jesus is revealed in the first nine books of the New Testament. This is the day of salvation, deliverance, and redemption in the eleventh week. The Lord is sending out salvation and deliverance today for those in captivity.

Day 75 is a Book of Ezekiel day in the second 49 days. Day 75 is the 26th day in the second 49 days; and has its guiding light in the 26th book and chapters of the Bible. Ezekiel was a prophet of hope to those in captivity. The prophet received visions of an army rising from the valley of dry bones, and of the restoration of Judah, Jerusalem, and the temple. Day 75 is a day of hope. The Lord is near!

C. Day 75 is a Psalm 75 day in the year. There are three things to learn from Psalm 75 about the 75th season: 

1. The 75th season is a season of thanksgiving for the wondrous world of God. Psalm 75:1 says, “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near”.

2. The 75th season is decision-making and judgment time. In the seventy-fifth season God reveals Himself as the Supreme Judge of the universe.  The 75th season is “the proper time to judge uprightly”. Psalm 75:2 says, “When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly”.

3. The 75th season is a time to start over. It is dissolution time; a time to set new pillars and lay new foundation. Psalm 75:3 says, “The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly. Selah” Abraham was 75 years old when the Judge of the universe told him to move from the land of his nativity to another land. Genesis 12:1-4 says, “Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. [2] I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. [3] I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” [4] So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran”. Jacob and his family were 75 people when they moved from Canaan to Egypt. Acts 7:11-15 says, “Now a famine and great trouble came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no sustenance. [12] But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. [13] And the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to the Pharaoh. [14] Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people. [15] So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers”.

4. The 75th season is for putting down one and raising another. It is for abasing the boastful and exalting the humble. Psalm 75:4-10 says, “I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn. [5] Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.'” [6] For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. [7] But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another. [8] For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, And the wine is red; It is fully mixed, and He pours it out; Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth Drain and drink down. [9] But I will declare forever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. [10] “All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.” In the 75th year of Abraham, God was bringing down the country of the Amorites and raising a new nation.

On July 9, five days into the 75th year of the United States (July 5, 1850-July 4, 1851), the twelfth president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, died; after being in office for only 16 months. He was succeeded by the Vice President. Millard Fillmore; who upon assuming office as the 13th President, sacked Zackary Taylor’s cabinet and pursued new policies. In 1782, the 75th year of the United Kingdom, she was engaged in the American War of Independence. On March 27, 1782, Charles Watson Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, was appointed Prime Minister for a second term; and pushed for the acknowledgment of the American independence. The same year, the British parliament voted to end war on American soil; though the war continued in Europe and India. That was the end of the first British Empire. Britain was losing strength; America was rising up. The then British Prime Minister died July 1, 1782; just after three months into his second term as Prime Minister. In the 75th year of Lebanon (November 23, 2017-November 22, 2018), the Prime Minister announced his resignation on November 4, 2017; but rescinded it on December 5. On this day in 2021, 8 people were killed in a mass shooting at a Massage Parlor in Atlanta Georgia.

Watch out for nations that would soon be in their 75th year. Modern Israel would be 75 in 2023. Syria would be 75 years in 2021. Chinese Communist Party would be 75 years in 2024. The North Korean Kim Il Sung dynasty would be 75 years in 2023. The 75th season is a bad season for the boastful, the proud, and the arrogant. Get off their camp.

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 75th day!

Day 74: The Mystery of March 15

By

Welcome to the 74th day of the year! The 74th day is the fourth day of the eleventh week. The eleventh week is the fourth week of the second 49 days. The 74th day is the 25th of the second 49 days. The 74th is a core (double) fourth season. A core fourth season is a time of intense pressure from the kingdom of darkness. It is a season of temptations and trials. It corresponds to the ‘ides of March’ in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Day 74 is March 15 in a clear year; and March 14 in a leap year. The Bible-keys to understanding Day 74 are the fourth day of creation narrative, the 74th psalm, and the fourth three chapters of First Kings- the eleventh book of the Bible.

Day 74 is fourth day of creation day in the 11th week. On the fourth day, God made the luminaries to give light to the earth, to divide the day from the night, to rule the day and the night, and to be for signs and seasons. They were to shining lights, ruling lights, dividing lights, and guiding lights. In a fourth season, God gives light to rule over darkness; and keep it from having sway. By implication, darkness would seek to extend its boundaries in the fourth season. Darkness confuses, deceives, and makes men stumble. Darkness covers evil workers and helps them operate. The tempter, adversary, and oppressor, considers the fourth season conducive duty time; because it is an operational season for darkness. Think of what the day and the night looked like before God created the luminaries. Light (guiding light) is the answer in every fourth season. Day 74 is a day when light is needed, from God’s word, the Holy Spirit, and wise counsel, to bring deliverance from darkness and those it helps. 

Day 74 is a First Kings 11-13 day in the 11th week! The fourth-section chapters (11-13) of the eleventh book of the Bible is applicable to the fourth day of the eleventh week. These three chapters of First Kings areaaq the trouble chapters for Israel in the book. In the eleventh chapter of the eleventh book, God expressed His displeasure with Solomon and raised adversaries against him. Solomon’s death is also recorded in this chapter. In the twelfth chapter, the kingdom divided under the fourth king. Whereas two tribes remained loyal to the House of David under Rehoboam, ten tribes went with Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who legalized idol worship in Israel and “made Israel to sin”. In the 13th chapter, the man of God from Judah is deceived by an old prophet in Bethel. He disobeyed God and died for it. Day 74 is a day of trials and temptations. Do not toy with the word of God, with revelations from authentic channels, or with wise counsel. 

Day 74 is a Psalm 74 day. The 74th psalm is applicable to the 74th day of the year. In Psalm 74, the psalmist is overwhelmed with pressure. Three times he asks God ‘why?’

Psalm 74:1-11: “O God, why have You cast us off forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture? [2] Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old, The tribe of Your inheritance, which You have redeemed- This Mount Zion where You have dwelt. [3] Lift up Your feet to the perpetual desolations. The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary. [4] Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place; They set up their banners for signs. [5] They seem like men who lift up Axes among the thick trees. [6] And now they break down its carved work, all at once, With axes and hammers. [7] They have set fire to Your sanctuary; They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground. [8] They said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them altogether.” They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land. [9] We do not see our signs; There is no longer any prophet; Nor is there any among us who knows how long. [10] O God, how long will the adversary reproach? Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever? [11] Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? Take it out of Your bosom and destroy them”.

When the enemy appears in the fourth season, it always looks like God has forsaken His people and withdrawn from them. Psalm 74 is the lamentation of those who had forsaken God; but remembered Him in their season of distress.

Psalm 74:9: “We do not see our signs; There is no longer any prophet; Nor is there any among us who knows how long”.

B. The Psalmist remembers the days of God’s goodness.

Psalm 74:12-17: “For God is my King from of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth. [13] You divided the sea by Your strength; You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters. [14] You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. [15] You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up mighty rivers. [16] The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have prepared the light and the sun. [17] You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter”.

C. The psalmist cries out to God for intervention.

Psalm 74:18-23: “Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, And that a foolish people has blasphemed Your name. [19] Oh, do not deliver the life of Your turtledove to the wild beast! Do not forget the life of Your poor forever. [20] Have respect to the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty. [21] Oh, do not let the oppressed return ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise Your name. [22] Arise, O God, plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish man reproaches You daily. [23] Do not forget the voice of Your enemies; The tumult of those who rise up against You increases continually”.

Day 74 is a Book of Lamentations day in the Second 49 days of the year. The 25th book of the Bible is called Lamentations. The Bible reveals that the enemy wants every 25th season to be a time of lamentation. Esau lost his birthright in Genesis 25. In Numbers 25, Israel lost 24 thousand souls to plagues because of idolatry and immorality at Peor. The foolish virgins missed the bridegroom in Matthew 25. In the 25th book of the Bible,Jeremiah lamented the fall and captivity of Judah and the destruction of Jerusalem. The United States lost her 12th President about the 25th year of her second 49 years. She lost her 25th president, William McKinley, through assassination. In 1945, the second year of America’s 25th seven years, she lost her 32nd President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1985, the 25th year of Nigeria, the unsuspecting Buhari regime was toppled by Ibrahim Babangida. It was a 25th season phenomenon. Life is better and safer with light. People stumble without light in their 25th seasons. Today, let your decisions and actions be guided by the Word and Spirit of God. Today, may discretion keep you from tears of failure. 

Day 74 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 11th 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 remaining three days belong to the New Testament side. Day 74 is the fourth and last day in the Old Testament side of the 11th week. The Old Testament side of the 11th week ends today! Day 74 has its guiding-light in the fourth section (the last nine books) of the Old Testament. The last 9 books of the Old Testament are mainly books of failure and correction. Think of Jonah, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, and Malachi. Day 74 is the bridge to the New Testament side of the eleventh week. Pray to cross the bridge successfully. You will not cry today! Happy 74th day!

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 good day.

March 15, 2008, Beechcraft 1900D plane marked 5N-JAH, belonging to Wing Aviation crashed in Cross River State, Nigeria. The wreckage was not found until six months after. All three crewmembers died.

Day 73: The Mystery of March 14

By

Welcome to the 73rd day of the year! Day 73 is the third day of the eleventh week. The 73rd is the third of the eleventh seven. Day 73 is also the 24th day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 74 is March 14 in a clear year and March 13 in a leap year. The keys to understanding this day are the third day creation narrative, the 73rd psalm, and the third three chapters of First Kings.

Day 73 is a third day of creation day in the eleventh week. On the third day of creation, God gathered the waters under heaven together in one place. The waters under heaven hindered the manifestation of the dry ground and the bringing forth of vegetation. As a third season day, The third day is the season of sustainers and saviors. Day 73 is a day of seeing beneath the surface. It is for the manifestation of things lying under. It is for the revelation of stable platforms and sustainers. 

Day 73 is a First Kings 8-10 day in the 11th week. The third-section-chapters of the 11th book of the Bible is applicable to the third day of the eleventh week. In the eighth chapter, Solomon brought in the Ark into the temple. He addressed the people and prayed to dedicate the House of God. He also blessed and made feasts for Israel. In the ninth chapter, God responded to Solomon’s prayer, promised blessings if Solomon remained loyal to Him; but judgment if Solomon turned away from Him. Both Solomon and God poured out what was in their hearts in the eighth and ninth chapters. Other achievements of Solomon are also recorded in the ninth chapter. The continuance of Israel, in the land, depended on what they did with this sanctuary. The temple was the habitation of God among the people. It was the Center of Israel’s life. The nation was to be sustained from the sanctuary. The tenth chapter is about the state visit of the Queen of Sheba and the wealth and affluence of Solomon. This chapter is the peak of Solomon’s glory.

Day 73 is a Psalm 73 day. In Psalm 73, the psalmist, though acknowledging God’s goodness to Israel, was sad and feeling depressed when he saw and thought about the prosperity of the wicked. He was envious of the boastful. He was caught in ‘I and they’ comparisons until he went to the sanctuary. That was where received light. Day 73 is a day of the house of God. Psalm 73:2-12 says, “But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped. [3] For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. [4] For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm. [5] They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men. [6] Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment. [7] Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish. [8] They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily. [9] They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth. [10] Therefore his people return here, And waters of a full cup are drained by them. [11] And they say, “How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?” [12] Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches”. The psalmist almost concluded it was vain to be righteous. Psalm 73:13-16 says, “Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence. [14] For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning. [15] If I had said, “I will speak thus,” Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children. [16] When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me”. His perspective of things changed when he went to the sanctuary; and had ‘revelation’. He understood the end of the wicked, his own foolishness, and the wisdom of God. Then, his faith in God revived. All of that happened in the sanctuary. Psalm 73:17-28 says, “Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end. [18] Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. [19] Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. [20] As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image. [21] Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind. [22] I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. [23] Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. [24] You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. [25] Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. [26] My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. [27] For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry. [28] But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works”. Day 73 is the day of the sanctuary. It is a third season day. The third book of Bible is Leviticus; and is about the priesthood, the sanctuary (tabernacle), and the sacrifices – the ground and platforms sustaining Israel’s walk with God. The 73rd season is a season of uncovering secrets and understanding hidden things in the sanctuary. Men are prone to deception in this season because of the appearance of things. This could become a season of asking questions from comparisons between the godly and ungodly. Wickedness and evil may seem to triumph in this season but it is only for a while. The godly may seem to have more troubles than the ungodly in this season but it is also only for a while. In this season, the ungodly, thinking everything is working for him, may mock the godly and tempt him to forget God and godliness. This is also a slippery day for the wicked. It is a day when the godly cease to wonder about the prosperity of the ungodly. It is a day to see the desolation of the wicked.

Day 73 is a book of Jeremiah day in the second 49 days of the year. As the 24th day in the second 49 days, Day 73 has its guiding light in the 24th book of the Bible, Jeremiah. The 24th book of the Bible is about overthrows. God called Jeremiah, as a prophet to the nations, “To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.” Day 73 is a day of throwing down dysfunctional people and systems; and establishing new ones. Day 73 is also a 24th chapters of the Bible day.

Day 73 is Ecclesiastes – Amos day in the 11th week. Going through each seven-day week is like taking a journey through the Bible. The first four days of the week is the Old Testament side of the week. The remaining three belongs to the New Testament side of the week. Day 73 is the third day in the Old Testament side of the week; and has its guiding light in the third ten books of the Bible. The books of the major prophets belong to this section of the Bible. They are books of war and overthrow. They are books unveiling new and hidden people and platforms. Day 73 is a day of overthrow and revelation.

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. Today, do not be distracted by the wicked. Never allow their prosperity worry you. Do not take the appearance of things for reality. Go to God in the Sanctuary. Turn to the Word of God. Trust God and seek His view of things. The 73rd season is a time of life-changing revelations. It is a season of liberating encounter with God. The wicked are also overthrown, suddenly, in 73rd seasons. You are the sanctuary – the Habitation of God! Those who come to you will have light and understanding. Happy 73rd day! 

On this day in 2002, Police DIG John Haruna died in a plane crash with three others in a Police Helicopter. Ten years later on this day in 2012, a JTF helicopter crashed and killed all on board including four senior police officers.

Day 72: The Mystery of March 13

By

Welcome the 72nd day of the year! Day 72 is the second day of the eleventh week; and the 23rd day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 72 is March 13 in a clear year and March 12 in a leap year. The second day of creation narrative, the 23rd book and chapters of the Bible, the second three chapters of First Kings, and the 72nd psalm, are the Bible keys for understanding and decoding Day 72. 

Day 72 is a second day-of-creation day in the 11th week. As the second day of the 11th week, it has its guiding light in the second day of creation narrative. God created the firmament on the second day of creation to dismantle and displace the water-bloc hindering space. Day 72 is a day to dismantle space-blockers and make room for people and things. Space-blockers are dismantled through prayers and prophetic blessings, declarations, and actions. Prayers and prophetic utterances make a way where there is no way.

Day 72 is a First Kings 5-7 day in the eleventh week. First Kings is the eleventh book of the Bible; and is guiding light for the eleventh week and other eleventh seasons. The second section of three chapters, following the first four, are applicable to the second day of the 11th week. In this second section of three chapters (5-7), Solomon began to build the house of God and completed it. The house of God is a house of prayer for all nations. The temple was a meeting place between God, who answers prayers, and men with needs. Day 72 is a day to give attention to the connection between God and men. It is a House of Prayer day. Prayer is a spiritual firmament that makes a way where there is no way. It pushes through obstacles to give space, and make room, for things that are not but should be.

Day 72 is a Psalm 72 day. The 72nd  psalm (a second-season psalm) is the king’s prayer to God for the king’s son. This psalm reveals that the 72nd season is a season of intercession. It is a time to stand in the gap for others. It is a season to receive help to be a help. It is a house-of-prayer day. In this psalm, David prayed and prophesied before the Lord concerning Solomon his son.

Psalm 72 opens with, “Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s Son”; and ends with “Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! [19] And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen. [20] The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended”

HELPERS NEED HELP TO HELP OTHERS

The king needs help from God to be a help to people.

TWELVE THINGS THAT WOULD ACCOMPANY DIVINE WISDOM FOR THE KING

1. He will judge Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with justice (v2). 

2. The mountains will bring peace to the people, And the little hills, by righteousness (v3). 

3. He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor (v4). 

4. He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like showers that water the earth (v6). 

5. In His days the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, Until the moon is no more (v7). 

6. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth (v8). 

7. Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, And His enemies will lick the dust (v9). 

8. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles Will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba Will offer gifts. Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; All nations shall serve Him (vs10-11). 

9. For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper. [13] He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy. [14] He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight (vs12-14). 

10. And He shall live; And the gold of Sheba will be given to Him; Prayer also will be made for Him continually, And daily He shall be praised (v15). 

11. There will be an abundance of grain in the earth, On the top of the mountains; Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon; And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth (v16). 

12. His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed (v17).

In the eleventh book of the Bible, Solomon became very great because he received help from God in answer to the prayer made for him in Psalm 72.

Day 72 is a book of Isaiah day in the second 49 days of the year. Isaiah is the 23rd book of the Bible; and is guiding light for the 23rd day in the second 49 days of the year. Isaiah was a prophet, prayer warrior, and fore-teller. He was of great assistance to king Hezekiah when Sennacherib the king of Syria came against Judah. He prophesied against proud and arrogant kings and their nations. He prophesied the virgin conception, the rising of Cyrus king of Persia, and the making of a new heaven and a new earth, and the blissful kingdom of God. In the 23rd book of the Bible, God magnifies His name and person. Day 72 is day to see God in His loftiness and self-existence. It is a day to make a way where there’s none; and shape the future through prayer and prophetic declarations or decrees.

Day 72 is First Kings – Proverbs day in the 11th week. Going through any week is like going through the Bible. The first four days of the week is the Old Testament side of the week. The remaining three days of the week is the New Testament side of the week. Day 72 is the second day in the Old Testament side of the 11th week; and has its guiding light in the second ten books of the Bible (First Kings, Second Kings, First Chronicles, Second Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, and Proverbs). Israel began to struggle for survival in the second 10 books of the Bible because she did not put her God first. From her glorious place in the days of Solomon, she sank into captivity but found mercy with God. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) exalt the person of God, His word, and His wisdom. Day 72 is a day to exalt God above all. Put God first and make no room for any idol in your 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, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy against evil controlling powers and overthrow them by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him! Today, open my eyes, Lord God, to see You in Your majesty exalted above mountains. Help me Lord; that I may be helpful to others. Let me prosper, today, by reason of help from above. Happy 72nd day!

Day 71: The Mystery of March 12

By

Welcome to the 71st day of the year. Day 71 is the first day of the eleventh week; and the 22nd day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 71 is March 12 in a clear year; and March 11 in a leap year. The Bible patterns for understanding the 71st day are the first day of creation, the 71st psalm, the book of Song of Songs, and the first three chapters of the eleventh book of the Bible – First Kings.

1. Day 71 is a first day of creation day in the 11th week. On the first day of creation, God triumphed over darkness with light. He also divided the light from the darkness and named them day and night respectively. From the narrative of the first day of creation, we understand that Day 71 is a day of conflict between light and darkness, good and evil, love and hate. We also know from the narrative that Day 71 is a day of the triumph of light. Today, put God first and honor Him through obedience to His word..

2. Day 71 is a book of Song of Songs day in the second 49 days. Song of Songs is the 22nd book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 22nd day in the second seven weeks of the year. This book is a love-song of two lovers. In this book love and loyalty is tested. The 22nd book of the Bible reveals that the 71st is a day of testing love and loyalty.

3. Day 71 is a First Kings 1-4 day in the eleventh week. The book of First Kings is the 11th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the eleventh week of the year. As the first day of the eleventh week, Day 71 expresses the first 4 chapters of the eleventh book of the Bible. In the first chapter, David fulfilled his promise to Bathsheba and made Solomon king. Adonijah had gone ahead to make himself king without the consent of his father or the company of his father’s advisers. The second chapter is about David’s counsel to Solomon, the death of David, Solomon’s exercise of wisdom to secure the throne by executing and weeding off the wrong people around. In the third chapter, Solomon gave offerings to God, had an encounter with God, and received wisdom from God. Solomon gave his famous judgment about the two harlots dragging a living baby. Wisdom is Light!  In the 4th chapter is about Solomon’s administration and prosperity.

Day 71 is a Psalm 71 day. The 71st psalm reveals that the 71st season is a time to call on God for deliverance. It is a time to pray and not give up. The psalmist prays repetitiously “Deliver me…Cause me to escape…Incline your ear to me and save me…Be my strong refuge…Deliver me…Do not cast me off…Do not forsake me…Do not be far from me…Make haste to help me…Do not forsake me”. He seeks deliverance from “the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man” (Psalm 71:4). He seeks deliverance because “my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.” (Psalm 71:10-11). The 71st is a time to trust God and repose confidence in Him. Psalm 71:5-6 says, “For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth. [6] By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You”. The 71st season is a time to look back and also look forward with hope. Psalm 71:17-24 says, “O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. [18] Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. [19] Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? [20] You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. [21] You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side. [22] Also with the lute I will praise You- And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel. [23] My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed. [24] My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; For they are confounded, For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt”.

Wickedness rises at the beginning of the eleventh season. Coronavirus epidemic struck China in the 71st year of The People’s Republic of China and worsened to a global pandemic.

Day 71 is a Genesis – Second Samuel season. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days is the Old Testament side and has guiding light in the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days is the New Testament side; and have guiding light in the 27 books of the New Testament. Day 71 is the beginning of the Old Testament side of the week; and has guiding light in the first ten books of the Bible. The first ten books of the Bible is about finding God’s anointed. From the creation of Adam in Genesis, God began the search for a man until He found David (the man after His heart) whose kingship manifested in the tenth book of the Bible. Day 71 is for the pursuit of God’s pleasure. It is a day to demonstrate loyalty to 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 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! On this 71st day, pray, trust God, and find refuge in Him. Without the help of God, the 71st season is a deadly season. The wicked and ambitious had to be cleared out of the way for Solomon to sit on the throne. May the Lord clear you, and also clear the way for you, to take over what belongs to you today. Happy 71st day!

Day 70: The Mystery of March 11

By
Nkem Okemiri

Welcome to the 70th day of the year! Day 70 is the seventh and last day of the tenth week – the week of answers to prayers. It is also the 21st day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 70 is March 11 in a clear year; and March 10 in a leap year. The Bible keys for understanding and interpreting the 70th day are the seventh day of creation story, the 70th psalm, the 21st book of the Bible (Ecclesiastes), and the last three chapters of Second Samuel; the 10th book of the Bible.

1. Day 70 is a seventh day of creation day. God did not create anything on the seventh day. He rested on that day. Then, He blessed and hallowed the seventh day because He rested on it. Day 70 is therefore a day of rest from unrest. It is a day of “it is done!”. This is a day of entering into rest by faith; by believing “it is done”. On this 70th day, the distressed will come into rest as when Jesus healed on the Sabbath; as when Naaman washed in Jordan the seventh time and was healed; as when Israel marched around Jericho the seventh time on the seventh day and the wall fell down flat.

2. Day 70 is a Psalm 70 day. Psalm 70 is a cry to God for deliverance. As part of the tenth week, it is a season of crying out to God for intervention. The 70th season is a time of desperate cry for help. The 70th psalm bears witness to this. Psalm 70:1-5 says, “Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O LORD! [2] Let them be ashamed and confounded Who seek my life; Let them be turned back and confused Who desire my hurt. [3] Let them be turned back because of their shame, Who say, “Aha, aha!” [4] Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified!” [5] But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay. Three times in this five-verse chapter, the psalmist calls to God to “make haste”.  That shows how desperate men are for answers in the 70th season. However, the seventh season is not a season of haste but a season of rest. It is a season of rest; not haste. God seems to go slowly, or delay, in the seventh season. Israel marched around Jericho seven times on the seventh day! In the book of Revelation, there is an interlude before the opening of the seventh seal and before the sounding of the seventh trumpet. In Daniel’s vision of 70 weeks, there is a break between the 69th week and the 70th week. In the creation story of Genesis 1, the two-verse account of the seventh day is recorded in the second chapter. The tenth week is a season of ‘no delay’; and the 70th Psalm captures it in the last phrase of the last verse – “do not delay”. Sometimes, the best counsel to give to a person in a seventh season is “be patient”. Things may seem to drag but God’s help is going to come through anyway. The seventh season is the season of His pleasure. It is not desperation that moves God in a seventh season; it is faith that rests and waits on Him. In the seventh season, you don’t tell God what you want Him to do; He tells you what He wants to do. Most of the people Jesus healed on the Sabbath did not ask for healing. He just stepped into their situation.

3. Day 70 is a 21st book and 21st chapters of the Bible day in the second 48 days. As the 21st day in the second 49 days of the year, Day 70 expresses the 21st book of the Bible. in the book of Ecclesiastes, the author ‘arrived’. He had position, power, possession, pleasure, and knowledge. He had everything man could get. The one thing he seemed to lack was fulfillment. The other thing he did not have was permanence. He came to the conclusion that life without permanence and a center (meaning, purpose, and fulfillment) is vanity. He identified God as the Center of existence; and pleasing Him, the goal of man’s life. The 21st chapters of Bible also reveal that the 21st day is a season conflicts and breakthroughs. May this 70th day of the year be a day of triumphs for you.

4. Day 70 is a Second Samuel 22-24 day. As the seventh day of the tenth week, Day 70 expresses the seventh and last part of the tenth book of the Bible. The 22nd chapter is David’s song to God about his deliverance. In the 23rd chapter, we have a record of David’s last words, and a listing of his mighty men. In the 24th chapter, David conducted an ill-advised census in Israel. Judgment came. Prophet Gad told David what to do. This led to the recovery of the spot where Isaac was to be sacrificed; which a Jebusite, Araunah, was using as threshing floor. “And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel” (2 Samuel 24:25). Day 70 is a day of trouble, deliverance, recovery, and restoration.

Day 70 is a Hebrews – Revelation day in the tenth week. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days is the Old Testament side. Day 70 is the last day on the New Testament side; and has its guiding light in the last nine books of the Bible and the New Testament. Those nine books are books of recovery and restoration. Day 70 is a day of recovery and restoration for the just; but a day of devastation and desolation for the wicked and evil oppressor.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, raise a cry against wickedness; trust in the Lord, hope in Him, and take refuge in His grace and mercy. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. This is a day of “IT IS DONE”. Today, you will have pleasure by seeking the pleasure of God. Today, make it priority to honor God. Obey Him. If you missed it anywhere, repent and return to God. This is a day to go back to Bethel. This 70th day, seek God for answers; seek rest from unrest; seek deliverance, recovery, and restoration. Happy 70th day!

Day 69: The Mystery of March 10

By

Welcome to the 69th day of the year. Day 69 is the sixth day of the tenth week. It is also the twentieth day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 69 is March 10 in a clear year; and March 9 in a leap year. The Bible patterns for understanding the 69th day are in the sixth day of creation narrative, the book of Proverbs, the sixth three chapters of Second Samuel (the tenth book).

1. Day 69 is a sixth day of creation day. On the sixth day of creation God First made land animals; and then man in His image and likeness. Without the image and likeness of God in man, he is just like the animals. The sixth season is the season of the godly man versus the animalistic man. In the sixth season, the wickedness of the wicked reaches a peak that also demands Divine reaction as it happened in Genesis 6 and in the sixth book of the Bible. In the sixth season, God’s plan is to use the godly man to tame the brutal animalistic man. God blesses, empowers, and guides, the godly to rule over the ungodly in the sixth season. On the sixth day, God communicated with man about creation and provisions. Counsel is the key to success in the sixth season. God’s people win in the sixth season through divine wisdom and counsel.

2. Day 69 is a Second Samuel 19-21 day. The three chapters in the sixth section (19-21) of the tenth book of the Bible is applicable to the sixth day of the tenth week. The three chapters are about dominion, sustenance, and warfare. In the 19th chapter, David the ruler returned to Jerusalem. The people rallied to bring back the king. Those who had hurt him also came to receive him. In the 20th chapter, Sheba rebelled against David and started another revolution. He was subdued and killed. In the 21st chapter, David received wisdom to end a three-year famine. Seven sons of Saul were killed to appease the Gibeonites and end the famine. In the 21st chapter also, David’s men subdued the Philistine giants in battle. The sixth season is ‘the end of the journey’ for the wicked. God subdues rebels in the sixth season. Day 69 is for possessing your possessions, subduing the wicked, and enjoying divine provisions.

3. Day 69 is a book of Proverbs day. Proverbs is the 20th book of the Bible and is applicable to this 20th day in the second 49 days of the year. Proverbs is a book of divine wisdom and counsel. There is wisdom in the book of Proverbs for the challenges of life. You must act wisely, not foolishly, on this 69th day. You must exhibit righteousness and not wickedness in the sixth season,

4. Day 69 is a Psalm 69 day. In Psalm 69, the oppressed and afflicted raises his voice in prayer to God. He declares his unjust suffering and pleads to God for deliverance and vengeance. The 69th season is a season of intense pressure and spiritual warfare that necessitates crying out to God for help and salvation. The 69th psalm bears witness to this. This also applies to people, organizations, or nations, going through the 69th year. Psalm 69:1-4 says, “Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. [2] I sink in deep mire, Where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters, Where the floods overflow me. [3] I am weary with my crying; My throat is dry; My eyes fail while I wait for my God. [4] Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; They are mighty who would destroy me, Being my enemies wrongfully; Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it. Psalm 69:7-15 says, “Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Shame has covered my face. [8] I have become a stranger to my brothers, And an alien to my mother’s children; [9] Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me. [10] When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, That became my reproach. [11] I also made sackcloth my garment; I became a byword to them. [12] Those who sit in the gate speak against me, And I am the song of the drunkards. [13] But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, in the acceptable time; O God, in the multitude of Your mercy, Hear me in the truth of Your salvation. [14] Deliver me out of the mire, And let me not sink; Let me be delivered from those who hate me, And out of the deep waters. [15] Let not the floodwater overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth on me”. Psalm 69:16-21 says, “Hear me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good; Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies. [17] And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in trouble; Hear me speedily. [18] Draw near to my soul, and redeem it; Deliver me because of my enemies. [19] You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor; My adversaries are all before You. [20] Reproach has broken my heart, And I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none. [21] They also gave me gall for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Psalm 69:22-28 is prayer against the wicked. It says, [22] Let their table become a snare before them, And their well-being a trap. [23] Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see; And make their loins shake continually. [24] Pour out Your indignation upon them, And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them. [25] Let their dwelling place be desolate; Let no one live in their tents. [26] For they persecute the ones You have struck, And talk of the grief of those You have wounded. [27] Add iniquity to their iniquity, And let them not come into Your righteousness. [28] Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And not be written with the righteous”.

Day 69 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 10th week. Every week has a Old Testament side and a New Testament side. Day 69 is the sixth day of the 10th week; and the second day in the New Testament side of the week. The second nine books of the New Testament (the sixth section of the Bible) is applicable to the sixth day of the 10th week. The second 9 books of the New Testament (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon) are books aching and training. They contain diverse instructions for Christian living. The sixth day of the week is the day of man and his God. It is the day of the Creator and His image and likeness. It is a day to prosper by adhering strictly to His commands. Disobedience brings failure in sixth seasons. A sixth season like Day 69 is the season of the Man of God. It is the season of godly standards. It is error to express ungodliness in the 69th season.

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. O Lord, stop the wicked and his plans today!!!

On this day in 2019, Boeing 737 Ethiopian Airline, flying from Addis Ababa to Nairobi, crashed with 157 people (149 passengers and 8 Crew members) on board. There were no survivors. The enemy got away with his plan to kill and destroy. On this day in 2020, the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II was deposed and exiled by the Kano State Government. He was driven from his throne when he ought to be returning stronger to the throne. On this 69th day, pray to be delivered from the thoughts, plans, and traps of the wicked. Pray also that the wicked be overthrown; so that the righteous may have peace. Happy 69th day!

Day 68: The Mystery of March 9

Welcome to the 68th day of the year! The 68th day is the fifth day of the 10th week; and the 19th day in the second 49 days of the year. It is a fifth season day. Day 68 is March 9 in a clear year; and March 8 in a leap year. The Bible-keys for understanding and interpreting the 68th day or season are the fifth day of creation narrative, the 19th book of the Bible, the 68th chapter of Psalm, and the fifth three chapters of Second Samuel.

1. Day 68 is a fifth-day-of-creation day in the tenth week. On the fifth day of creation, God made the sea creatures and the birds of the air. He filled the waters with abundance of life-expressing creatures. The creatures of the fifth day could move (fly or swim), perceive reality by their senses, make sounds, and reproduce their kind. God blessed them with fruitfulness  and multiplication to keep the curses of barrenness and decimation away. Although God intended the fifth day or season to be a time of expressing life to the full, the evil one wants to limit the expression of life in the season through oppression, destructions, disease, destitution, demonic depression, and death. The fifth day of creation was the beginning of predator-prey issues. The larger fish could swallow smaller ones. Birds could prey on fish. The fifth season also is a season of either soaring high in the spirit or swimming in the depths of fleshly living. It is a season to take a stand with God for life, freedom, and blessings. Heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead, and strengthen the poor.

2. Day 68 is a Second Samuel 16-18 day in the tenth week. The three chapters in the fifth section of the tenth book of the Bible (Second Samuel 16-18) are applicable to the fifth day of the tenth week. In the 16th chapter, David’s troubles reached peak-point and began to end. Absalom took over his father’s house and concubines in this chapter. In the 17th chapter, Absalom’s revolution began to lose fire. Hushai, David’s companion infiltrated Absalom’s camp and defeated the wicked counsel of Ahitophel. The wicked counselor committed suicide here and came to an end. David’s friend became Absalom’s chief counselor. In the 18th chapter, Absalom died in battle. May the Lord help you and preserve you from forces and troubles that may rise against you this day. May the Lord help you to work in the spirit and triumph over your enemies. Today, the Lord will overthrow your enemies. Your Ahitophel and your Absalom will go down.

3. Day 68 is a book-of-Psalm day in the second 49 days; because it is the nineteenth day in the second 49 days of the year; and Psalms is the 19th book of the Bible. The book of Psalms is a book of battles, prayers, triumphs, testimonies, and praises. It is full of cries for mercy, intervention, vindication, deliverance, and preservation. It is also full of declarations of faith in God. The psalmist found sufficiency in God; and was fully dependent on Him. Day 68 is a day to trust completely and confidently in God amid pressures and conflicts.

4. Day 68 is a Psalm 68 day. Psalm 68 reveals that the 68th season is a season of war. It is a season to call the Lord to battle against our foes and enemies. Psalm 68 reveals God as the Lord of battles. This fifth season psalm reveals that God does battle by His presence in the 68th season!

In this psalm of 35 verses, reference is made to God about 81 times. ’81’ (3x3x3x3) is the number of divine fullness on earth. This is a psalm of the fullness of the presence of God on earth.

‘God’ is used 32 times in this chapter. It is used in capital letters in verse 20. “…At the presence of God” is used thrice (verses 2 and 8).

The 68th psalm leaves no room to Man except for crying out to God, singing to Him, praising Him, extolling Him, and being glad and rejoicing in His presence. In the 68th season, He is the Sole-Performer. We are only dependents and beneficiaries of His goodness. Without God, the strongest of men is powerless in the 68th season.

21. God who is more awesome than His holy places.

God reveals Himself through His names and attributes. In the 68th season, He manifests the names and attributes listed above in Psalm 68.

Day 68 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the tenth week. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The Old Testament side is the first four days of the week. The New Testament side is the last three days of the week. The fifth day of the week is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week; and has its guiding light in the first nine books of the New Testament. Day 68 is the day of the Healer, Deliverer, Redeemer, and Savor! Get ready to experience the New Testament in the 10th week. This 68th day of the year, you will experience EMMANUEL – God with us; the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. Hallelujah!

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. In the 68th season, the enemy rises against life, freedom, and resources. Only by the strength of the Almighty can he be subdued. He has failed in your life! May the Lord God go to war for you today. Happy 68th day!

Day 67: The Mystery of March 8

By

Welcome to the 67th day of the year! This is the fourth day of the tenth week; and the eighteenth day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 67 is March 8 in a clear year and March 7 in a leap year. The Bible keys for understanding and interpreting ‘Day 67’ is the fourth day of creation narrative; the 67th chapter of Psalms (no other book of the Bible has a 67th chapter), the 18th book of the Bible, and the fourth three chapters of Second Samuel. We’ll consider those four: 

1. Day 67 is a fourth day of creation day in the tenth week. On the fourth day of creation, God acted against darkness, disorganization, confusion, and deception by creating the luminaries. The sun, moon, and stars were created to be guiding lights. That is the reason God said they would give light and be for signs and seasons. Before the advent of clocks calendars, and compasses, the luminaries guided humanity. The were also made to divide the day from the night; and then rule the day and the night. In the 67th season, God gives light against the operations of darkness. In this season, God wants men to triumph over spiritual powers of darkness by means of the His Word (the sun), prophetic revelations (the moon), and wise counsel (the stars). The fourth season is a fight-back season for darkness. That is the reason you need the lights to keep darkness from having sway. The Bible reveals that the tempter and adversary appears in the fourth season. 

1967 was a fourth-season year; and the Israeli and Nigeria wars happened within the fourth 49 days of the year. In 1967 (June 5-10), Israel fought a six-day war against Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian forces that crushed the militaries of their foes and left them in shameful defeat. The same year, on July 6, the 30-month Nigeria-Biafra war began. On June 8, the fourth day of Israel’s six day war, Israeli fighter jets and warships mistakenly fired at USS Liberty (thinking it was an Egyptian warship); killing 34 and wounding 171. That was a fourth season confusion. You need to look well before you leap on a fourth day.

2. Day 67 is a book of Job day in the second 49 days of the year. The book of Job is the eighteenth book of the Bible; and Day 67 is the eighteenth day in the second 49 days of the year. In the book of Job, Satan was responsible for Job’s calamities. Job did not know; so, he blamed God for his troubles. Job’s friends, also, did not know Satan was responsible; so, they blamed Job; accusing him of secret sins. Darkness (absence of revelation) blinded Job and his friends from seeing the adversary. The 67th season is, and be, a season of confusing trials. 

3. Day 67 is a Second Samuel 13-15 day in the tenth week. This fourth day of the tenth week expresses the fourth section (13-15) of the tenth book of the Bible. In these three chapters, David faced trials and temptations. In the 13th chapter, one of David’s sons, Amnon, raped one of David’s daughters, Tamar (Absalom’s sister). Absalom killed his stepbrother for defiling his sister. He went to exile. In the 14th chapter, he returned. In the 15th chapter, he stole Israel from his father and proclaimed himself king. This was the beginning of trouble in David’s house. Those three chapters of the tenth book of the Bible are chapters of deception. Day 67 is a day of temptation and trials. It is the test day of the tenth week. May the Lord keep you from falling. 

4. Day 67 is a Psalm-67 day. Psalm 67 gives us clue about passing the test of the week. The first thing is to seek the mercy of God against the temptations of the day through PRAYER. Jesus taught His disciples that praying can deliver from temptations (Luke 22:40). Psalm 67:1-2 says “God be merciful to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us, Selah. That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations”. Answers to prayer make it possible for God to be known. Praying ensures triumph in the hour of temptation. Those who trust themselves see shame. The news of happenings in the 67th season go very far. The second thing is a lifestyle of PRAISE. If you keep your heart heart and mind on God, the tempter cannot distract or deceive you. Four times, in this chapter, the psalmist declares his motive, “Let (all) the peoples praise you” Psalm 67:3,5 says, “Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. [5] Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You”. If you magnify God in the season of temptation and trial, the earth would respond favorably to you. It also means that if you belittle God in the hour of temptation, the earth will work against you. Psalm 67:5-7 says, “Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. [6] Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us. [7] God shall bless us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him”. The 67th season is season of mercy, help, and blessing that impacts the peoples, the nations, and the earth; and leaves unforgettable lessons behind for living men. Such kindness of the Lord is unprecedented. The fourth season is a season of great things and great tidings that spread abroad. It is also a season of great trials and tests. 

Day 67 is the last day on the Old Testament side of the tenth 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; and has guiding light in the 39 books of the Old Testament. Day 67 is the end of the Old Testament side of the tenth week; and has its guiding light in the las nine books of the Old Testament. So, Day 67 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 10th week. The book of Jonah belongs here. The book of Haggai also belongs here. This is a season to stay focused on the will of God and keeping distractions away. On this fourth day of the week, I pray the Lord would deliver you from the temptations and trials of the day.

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 67th day!

Day 66: The Mystery of March 7

By

Welcome to the 66th day of the year. Day 66 is the third day of the tenth week. It is the third day of the third week in the second seven weeks of the year. It is a core third-season day. It is also the seventeenth day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 66 is March 7 day in a clear year; and March 6 in a leap year. This day has its pattern in the third day of creation narrative; and in the 66th book and chapters of the Bible.

Day 66 is a third-day-of-creation day. On the third day of creation, God overthrew the waters that stood over the earth; He manifested the dry ground and commanded it to bring forth vegetation. The earth was revealed on the third day and reconnected to the heavens. The third season is a time of dismantling barriers between heaven and earth. It is a time to take away things that inhibit the earth from direct fellowship with heaven. It is also also Satan’s time of seeking to disconnect the earth from fellowshipping with heaven. That is the reason Leviticus is the third book of the Bible. That is also the reason the evil one tempted people to sin against God in the third chapters of the Bible. The voice of God comes in the third season. The third day was the first time God spoke to His creation to take on the responsibility of bringing forth another creation. The third chapters reveal that the voice of God comes to men in the third season. It is God’s recruitment season. The call of Adam, Moses, Samuel, John the Baptist, and Jesus, is recorded in third chapters. The third season is for establishing connection between heaven and earth. Day 66 is a special day of communication between heaven and earth. It also a day of overthrows, a day of new platforms, a day of the voice of God, and a day of sustenance.

Day 66 is a Second Samuel 9-12 day in the tenth week. As Day 66 is the third day of the tenth week, Second Samuel 9-12 is the third four chapters of the tenth book of the Bible. The ninth chapter is about David taking over the sustenance of Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son. In the tenth chapter, the Ammonites misunderstood and mistreated David and Israel. The devil deceived them. The Syrians allied with the Ammonites to fight Israel. David defeated them. In the eleventh chapter, the devil gave David a bad push in his affair with Bathsheba leading to the murder of her husband. In the 12th chapter, Nathan confronted David. He repented and God forgave Him; but the child died. The birth of Solomon is also recorded in the 12th chapter. The chapter closes with David’s capture of Rabbah and other cities of Ammon. Day 66 is a day of receiving a word from the Lord, a day of conquests and triumphs, and a day of generating material sustenance. The devil also speaks loudly in third seasons like Day 66. It is a day of temptation and irrationality. Beware of the tempter. Be watchful.

Day 66 is a book-of-Revelation day. Revelation is the 66th book of the Bible. This book opens with John hearing the voice of Jesus Christ; and being sent to write the word of the Lord to the seven churches of Asia. The word ‘voice’ is used in about 38 verses in this book. The 66th book of the Bible is ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ’. In that book, John had the privilege of seeing the works of God and hearing of the words of the Lord. In this book, God overthrew the old heaven and earth and made a new heaven and earth. In this book, also, John is given a revelation of the kingdoms of this earth becoming the kingdom of our God and of His Christ. The book of Revelation also says a lot about deception. In the entire Bible, the word ‘deceive’ is used in 73 verses. It is used 7 times in the book of Revelation alone. Day 66 is a day to watch against deception. Day 66 is a day of voices. Day 66 is a day of overthrow and renewal. May this day be, for you, a day of “IT IS DONE”. 

Day 66 is a 66th chapters-of-the-Bible day. Psalms and Isaiah are the only books of the Bible that have up to 66 chapters. Psalm 66 reveals that the 66th season is for praising and magnifying the Lord for His triumphs. It is a season of testimonies. It is a season to call out to men to “come and see” and “come and hear” the works of the Lord. Psalm 66 shows that the 66th season is the Lord’s season of exploits. Isaiah 66 shows that the 66th season is a season of the Lord’s vengeance. It is a season of wrath against His enemies; and a season of comfort for the righteous. It is a season of reckoning and closing accounts. It is a season of the revelation of the Lord’s sovereignty and majesty.

The Bible ends with Revelation as the 66th book. The Bible opened with God saying “Let there be”; and ended with God saying “It is done”. The book of Isaiah, the 23rd and first prophetic book of the Bible, ends at the 66th chapter. Isaiah is a book of “Thus says the Lord”. The number 66 represents ‘from the first to the last’; but 66th stands for ‘the last’; the last word, the last battle, or the final triumph. Day 66 is the day of the last battle in the tenth week. It is the day of establishing God’s will in families, communities, and nations through spiritual warfare. This is also applicable to people, organizations, or nations, in their 66th year. In Nigeria, the year 1966 was a year of bloody coup and counter-coup from which the nation is yet to recover. It brought down the great and mighty in the land. This 66th day, may the Lord God keep our lands from bloodshed and sorrowful tears.

Day 66 is a book-of-Esther day in the second 49 days of the year. Esther is the seventeenth book of the Bible; and is applicable to the seventeenth day in the second 49 days of the year. In that book, God overthrew Persian people-platforms and established a Jewish people-platform. On this 66th day, may the Lord’s will be established in your life, family, church, organization, community, and nation. May the dysfunctional be overthrown and replaced.

Day 66 is Ecclesiastes – Amos day in the tenth week of the year. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days belong to the Old Testament side; while the remaining three days belong to the New Testament side. Day 66 is the third day in the Old Testament side of the tenth week; and has its guiding light in the third ten books of the Bible. The Major Prophets are part of the third ten books. They overthrew some kingdoms and established other kingdoms by the word of the Lord. Day 66 is a day of overthrows and establishment.

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. Today, raise your voice in judgment against oppression and the oppressor. Also, prophesy the vindication, deliverance, and establishment of the just. Happy 66th day!
