Day 54: The Mystery of February 23

Welcome to the 54th day of the year! Day 54 is the fifth day of the eighth week; and also the fifth day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 54 is a fifth-season day. The Bible patterns for understanding the 54th day are 1) the fifth day of creation narrative; 2) the 54th book of the Bible; 3) the 54th chapters of the Bible; 4) the fifth of the seven sections of Ruth (Ruth 3:1-18), the 8th book of the Bible.

Day 54 is a fifth-day-of-creation day in the 8th week. The fifth day of creation was the beginning of the New Testament side of creation. On the fifth day of creation, God made the sea creatures and birds of the air. He called them living creatures. They are not life sustaining creatures like the vegetation; but ‘living’ creatures. They do not ‘give’ life; they ‘live’ life! They are flesh-and-blood creatures. Besides having the power to grow and reproduce, they  also have senses of touch, audition, sight, smell, and taste. They have brains; and therefore capable of reasoning to some degree. Day 54 is a day of life. Be safe and take a stand against things that destroy life. God also blessed His creatures, for the first time, on the fifth day of creation. He made them in abundance and blessed them with fruitfulness and multiplication. They are creatures of diverse colors. Day 54 is a day of blessings instead of curses; a day of abundance instead of scarcity; a day of multiplication instead of destruction or decimation. The fifth day creatures are creatures of voice and balance. The birds fly with their wings; and the fish swim with their fins and tails. Day 54 is a day of moderation, balance, truth, justice, and equity. 

Day 54 is a Ruth 3:1-18 day in the 8th week. The fifth section of the eighth book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 8th week of the year. In this fifth section of the eighth book of the Bible, Naomi gave Ruth directions that would eventually lead her to find settlement in her own home and family. She taught her how to connect to Boaz on a deeper level. The counsel worked for her. The 54th season is a season to prosper through counsel.

Day 54 is a book-of-First-Timothy day in the year. First Timothy, the 54th book of the Bible, is about victory through receiving and obeying counsel and instructions. In this book, Paul gave commands and instructions to Timothy for the work of the ministry in his hands; just as Naomi gave Ruth instructions concerning Boaz. Paul was releasing Timothy, as son, to go and oversee a church; as Naomi was planning settlement for Ruth, her daughter. Paul gave instructions to Timothy about prayer, preaching, administration, Christian living and service, and ministerial ethics. Instructions are vital to success in the 54th season.

Day 54 is a 54th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 54th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 54th season (a fifth season) is a time of strength and victory through God’s power.  It is a season of reliance on God’s strength and wisdom. God is the secret of victory in the 54th season. Psalm 54 focuses on victory through prayer. Psalm 54:1-7 says, “Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength. [2] Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. [3] For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah [4] Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. [5] He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. [6] I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good. [7] For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies”. Isaiah 54 is about victory through action-faith in God’s word and promises. The entire chapter is about trusting God, stepping out in faith, and counting on God’s faithfulness to keep His promises. God is a deliverer in the 54th season. Today, as you pray to God, you must also receive His in strand follow it.

Within the first four months of 1954, there were three widely reported plane crashes. The first was the January 10 BOAC 781 flight crash that killed all 35 people on board. The third was the April 8 South African Airways flight 201 crash that killed the 21 people on board. The second was the Ernest Hemingsway plane crashes that he survived mysteriously. The American writer and his wife survived two plane crashes within 48 hours (January 23-24) in Uganda, East Africa. “He and Mary were incorrectly reported dead in several newspapers around the world. Hemingway had the pleasure of reading his obituary days later, very much alive, in a cafe in Venice”. God is gracious!

Day 54 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the eighth week. Every week has both an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week expresses the Old Testament – the 39 books of the Bible. The last three days of the week express the New Testament – each day expressing 9 books of the New Testament. Day 54 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 8th week of the year. In this section of the Bible, ancient promises and prophecies are fulfilled, God puts on humanity, hidden truths are revealed, a way is made for the lowly and undeserving, and rules are redefined and given new spiritual and deeper meaning. This s new beginning in the 8th week. This is a day of salvation, deliverance, and redemption. The Savior, Deliverer, and Redeemer has come; and the Work is finished. Let us enter into the New Testament side of the week by faith and enjoy the finished work.

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. Today, look up! Salvation is here because the Deliverer is here. Have a happy 54th day!

Day 53: The Mystery of February 22

Welcome to the 53rd day of the year! Day 53 is the fourth day of the eighth week; and also the fourth day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 53 is a 4th-season day. The Bible patterns for understanding the 53rd day are 1) the fourth day of creation narrative; 2) the 53rd book of the Bible; 3) the 53rd chapters of the Bible; 4) the fourth of the seven sections of Ruth (Ruth 2:11-22), the 8th book of the Bible.

Day 53 is a fourth-day-of-creation day. On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries (sun, moon, and stars) and placed them in the firmament of the heavens. He made them to give light to the earth, to be for seasons, to divide darkness from light, and to rule the night and the day. The luminaries are light-givers and light-containers. Why did God have to create lights on the fourth day after He had said “Let there be light” on the first day of creation? Darkness fights back in the fourth season. The ‘fourths’ of the Bible bear witness to this. Day 53 is a day to hold out light against the invasion of darkness. It is a season to be guided by the lights – the word of God, the Spirit of God, and Wise Counsel – against deception and attacks of darkness. It is a season to expose and fight foolishness and mental darkness. The fourth day of creation was also the birthday of heat. Discomforts and pain are part of the features of the fourth season.

Day 53 is book-of-Second-Thessalonians day. The 53rd book of the Bible, Second Thessalonians, is about God’s response to those who believe and those who do not believe. 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4,8-10 says, “We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, [4] so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, [8] in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, [10] when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.”

2 Thessalonians 2:9-13 says, “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, [10] and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, [12] that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [13] But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 says, “Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, [2] and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith”. Unreasonable and wicked men appear in fourth (53rd) seasons. Guard your heart against unreasonable actions today. Paul rebuked idle believers, who stopped working, to wait for the coming of the Lord. They had zeal but had become unsound in their thinking. 

Day 53 is a Ruth 2:11-22 day. Ruth 2:11-22 is the fourth part of the seven-section narrative of the four-chapter book. This fourth section of the 8th book of the Bible is applicable to the fourth day of the eighth week. In this section of the book, Ruth returned from Boaz and reported, to Naomi, everything that happened at work. Her mother in-law, Naomi, counseled Ruth to stay by the maidens (not the young men). That counsel saved her from making a costly mistake. Day 53 is a day to be guided by light.

Day 53 is a 53rd-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 53rd chapters of the Bible reveal that the 53rd season is a test season. The focus of the test is faith. Can you believe what you cannot see, feel, or reason out? The fool, lacking faith and understanding, says there is no God. It is a season when men are tested for wisdom or foolishness. 

Psalm 53:1-6 says, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good. [2] God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. [3] Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one. [4] Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God? [5] There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them. [6] Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad“.

Isaiah 53 also shows that the 53rd season is a time when men struggle with faith:

Isaiah 53:1-3 says, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? [2] For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. [3] He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him”.

The Soviet totalitarian dictator died suddenly of cerebral hemorrhage on March 5, in the 53rd year of the 20th century. He was a kind of “the man of sin spoken of in the 53rd book of the Bible.

Day 53 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 8th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The fourth day of the week is the day closing the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the last nine books of the Old Testament. Today is the bridge-day leading to the New Testament side of the week. The books of ‘the minor prophets’ are part of the last 9 books of the O.T. They are about judgment and promises of restoration. Today is a day of the dominion of the Voice of God in the nations. Let His Voice dominate in your life.

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. Today, trust the Lord for a sound mind in every decision you make. Happy 53rd day!

Day 52: The Mystery of February 21

Welcome to the 52nd day of the year! Day 52 is the third day of the eighth week; and also the third day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 52 is a second season day. This is the first major ’52nd’ season in the year. The other major ’52nd’ is the 52nd week. Each year consists of 52 weeks. There are also seven 52 days in every year. The first 52 days of the year is one-seventh of the year. The 52nd day of the year is the end of the first 7th part of the year. The number 52 represents a full cycle. Nehemiah built the walls in 52 days and book of Jeremiah ends at the 52nd chapter. The Bible patterns for understanding the 52nd day are 1) the third day of creation narrative; 2) the 52nd book of the Bible; 3) the 52nd chapters of the Bible; 4) the third of the seven sections of Ruth (Ruth 2:1-10), the 8th book of the Bible.

Day 52 is a third day of creation day in the 8th week. God moved the waters that was over the earth and set boundaries around it. God commanded the dry ground to show up; and subsequently, bring forth seed-yielding grasses and fruit-yielding trees. On the third day, God overthrew the waters, established the dry ground as solid platform, and released the life-sustaining vegetation. Day 52, therefore, is a day of overthrows in which dysfunctional people, systems, and structures are laid aside; it is a day of establishing new platforms of good; and a day of bringing forth new life. The third day is a game-changing day.

Day 52 is a book of First Thessalonians day in the year. The book of First Thessalonians is the 52nd book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 52nd day of the year. Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians was addressed to a church that had the least chance of survival. Persecution drove Paul and his team out of Thessalonica before they could do substantial work there; yet the church survived – amid great affliction. Even the Bereans were more noble than the Thessalonians (Acts 17:11) yet the Thessalonian church came up stronger than the Berean church. The purpose of this epistle was to encourage the young church and establish her in the truth. The third season is for the emergence of things and people that have the slimmest chance. The Thessalonian church became a platform for spreading the gospel to other regions. Like the vegetation of the third day, she bore fruit and yielded seed. Of this church, Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 1:8: “For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything” Day 52 is for the emergence of people and things that have the slimmest chance.

Day 52 is a Ruth 2:1-10 day in the 8th week. The third section of eighth book of the Bible is applicable to the third day in the eighth week of the year. This is the passage where Ruth met Boaz. She came into the field of Boaz as ‘a beggar’ seeking permission to pick up what the reapers had left behind. On that day, the owner of the farm entered the farm and saw Ruth. Boaz had no idea that Ruth was the woman that would bring him into the line and genealogy of the Messiah. The 52nd day is for the emergence, or manifestation, of new vessels and their game-changing stories. Day 52 is a turning-point day.

The 52nd season is the doom’s day for the proud. It is a season of breakthrough for the Word and all who lean on it. This may involve the uprooting of the wicked. As the Lord moved the waters out of the way on the third day of creation, so, he uproots the wicked in the 52nd season. Psalm 52 bears witness to this. Psalm 52:1-7 says, “Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually. [2] Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. [3] You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah [4] You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue. [5] God shall likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah [6] The righteous also shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying, [7] “Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.” The Psalmist also spoke of being like the green olive tree in the house of God forever and ever. This Psalm is about overthrow and establishment. The 52nd book of the Bible, First Thessalonians, says it is a righteous thing for God to recompense evil to those who persecute you. In Jeremiah 52, the word of the Lord concerning king Zedekiah, which came through Jeremiah, is fulfilled. Jeremiah 52 is about the disaster and misfortune that befell Jerusalem and King Zedekiah. The word of the Lord, and those who stand on it, are vindicated in the 52nd season. May disaster and misfortune be far from you today.

God reigns in the 52nd season. In this season, He fights for His own against those who oppress them. Isaiah 52 confirms this. Isaiah 52:1-6 says, “Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean Shall no longer come to you. [2] Shake yourself from the dust, arise; Sit down, O Jerusalem! Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion! [3] For thus says the LORD: “You have sold yourselves for nothing, And you shall be redeemed without money.” [4] For thus says the Lord GOD: “My people went down at first Into Egypt to dwell there; Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. [5] Now therefore, what have I here,” says the LORD, “That My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them Make them wail,” says the LORD, “And My name is blasphemed continually every day. [6] Therefore My people shall know My name; Therefore they shall know in that day That I am He who speaks: ‘Behold, it is I.'”

1952 was a turning point year in the 20th century. Dwight Eisenhower was elected 34th President of the United States. Republicans regained control of White House and both houses of Congress after 20 years of being the minority and opposition. The same year, Princess Elizabeth ascended the British throne and was coronated Queen Elizabeth II upon the death of her father, King George VI. She rose up because her father went down.

Day 52 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the 8th week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The third day of the week is the third day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the third 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the third 10 books of the Bible, God sent His prophets to speak to the people. They confronted the people, warned them against judgment, comforted the faithful, and brought judgment on the arrogant. The third day is for the overthrow of the rebellious and establishment of the humble and just. How you fare in this season depends on your attitude and response to the word of God. This is a day of prophetic confrontation and judgment.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. This is the third day of the week. God is unveiling the hidden and obscure. He is restoring the displaced; and delivering the oppressed. God is compassionate and merciful. He does not disregard the lowly and humble. 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, cry out to God; and hope for ‘a positive twist in the story’. Happy 52nd day!

On this day in 2021, a Nigerian military aircraft crashed near Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport; killing all seven people aboard.

Welcome to the 51st day of the year! Day 51 is the second day of the eighth week; and also the second day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 51 is a second season day. 

This is the first major ’51st’ in the year. The other major ’51st’ is the 51st week. The illustrative Bible patterns for understanding the 51st day are 1) the second day of creation narrative; 2) the 51st book of the Bible; 3) the 51st chapters of the Bible; 4) the second of the seven sections of Ruth (Ruth 1:14-22), the 8th book of the Bible.

Day 51 is a second-day-of-creation day in the 8th week. On the second day of creation, God made the firmament to divide the waters. He did not make the firmament for itself. He made the firmament to help other creatures in need of space to manifest. The firmament was an answer to the prayers of creatures yet unknown; the prayers of creatures not yet made. This is a day of answers to prayers. Day 51 is a day to make or find a way where there is no way.

Day 51 is a book-of-Colossians day in the year. Colossians is the 51st book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 51st day of the year.. In this book, God displayed His mercy towards us in Christ. This book also challenges us to fix our eyes on things above and not on things beneath. In this book, Christ is our Life. He is the All-Sufficient, All-In-One-Answer to our prayers. The 51st book of the Bible is about the Preeminence of Jesus Christ. Day 51 is the day of the Lordship of our Triumphant Christ.

Day 51 is a Ruth 1:14-22 day in the eighth week. The second section of the 8th book of the Bible is applicable to the second day of the 8th week of the year. In this second section of the eighth book, God showed mercy to His people and gave them food again. Famine ended. Naomi decided to return to her come country. Her daughters in-law said they would go with her. She discouraged them. Orpah returned to her people but Ruth hung on to her mother in-law and returned to Judah with her. Two are better than one. God gave help to Israel and Ruth volunteered to help her mother in-law in this chapter. May the Lord send you help in this week and whenever else you need it. Day 51 is a day of departure from the place of pain to the place of promise. It is a book of Exodus day in a book of Ruth week.

Day 51 is a 51st-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 51st  chapters of the Bible reveal that the 51st day is a day of God’s merciful intervention. It is a season to receive help from God – spiritually or materially. Psalm 51 is a cry to God for mercy. Sin is a great hindrance and barrier; but the mercy of God is like the firmament. It makes a way, forcefully, where there is no way. Isaiah 51 is a call to focus on God, His power, and triumphs; and give Him attention. He promised help in this chapter and reassuringly calms our hearts from the fear of man and troubles. The 51st season is when God lifts burdens from His people and puts them on their oppressors. This is a day to face challenges with confidence in God. Jeremiah 51 reveals that the 51st season is a season of vengeance against the arrogant and proud oppressor. In this chapter, the prophet spoke of the utter destruction of Babylon. He wrote the judgments against Babylon and sent someone to throw it into Euphrates; as a sign of how Babylon will sink. In the 51st season, prophetic words and actions are keys to results.

Day 51 is a First Kings – Proverbs day in the 8th week. The second ten books of the Bible is applicable to the second day of the 8th week. The second 10 books are from First Kings (the 11th book) to Proverbs (the 20th book). The ten books are about the kings that came after David. They are about the struggles of Israel before and after captivity. The lasts three books in this section show the Preeminence of God and His ways. Day 51 is the second day in the Old Testament part of the 8th week. Today, make God king in your life and He will cause you to rule in life.

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. Happy 51st day!

Day 50: The Mystery of February 19

Welcome to the 50th, and first jubilee, day of the year! Day 50 is the first day of the eighth week of the year. This is the first major ’50th’ in the year. The other major ’50th’ is the 50th week. The Bible patterns for understanding the 50th day are 1) the first day of creation narrative; 2) the 50th book of the Bible; 3) the 50th chapters of the Bible; 4) the first chapter of Ruth, the 8th book of the Bible.

Day 50 is a first day of creation day in the 8th week. God created light to subdue darkness on the first day of creation. He also separated the light from the darkness; called the light day and the darkness night. Darkness frustrates, confuses, and deceives. It is difficult to do right when darkness prevails. The light of the first day came from the word. Day 50 is a time to seek direction from God’s word. Psalm 119:105 says “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path”. Psalms 119:130 says, “The entrance of your word brings light; and gives understanding to the simple”.

Day 50 is a book of Philippians day. Paul’s epistle to the Philippians is the 50th book of the Bible. This book is about rejoicing in the Lord always. Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice”. The 50th season is rejoicing time. In God’s eternal plan, the fiftieth is the season of Jubilee. It is a season of liberty. It is a season for everyone to return to his possession. Whatever God calls a thing is usually the opposite of its appearance or ‘natural’ circumstances. It is what God calls a thing that pulls it out of the natural realm into the will of God – the realm of eternal identity and purpose. We are to name our seasons according to God’s revelation – to make them what they should be. That means we are to do warfare against appearance, feeling, reason, and circumstance, by the revealed word. 

Leviticus 25:8-13 says, “And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. [9] Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. [10] And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. [11] That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. [12] For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field. [13] ‘In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession”.

Day 50 is a 50th-chapters-of-the-Bible day in the year. In Genesis 50, instead of jubilation and joy, there was mourning in the house of Israel. Jacob, the father of the Israelites was buried, and mourned for, in this chapter. The death of Joseph is also recorded in Genesis 50. Joseph died and was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt. “Embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt” in a season of Jubilee, liberty, and returning to own possession. Jacob returned to his possession in death. The liberty Israelites had in this chapter was for the burial of their patriarch. Day 50 is also a season of fearful divine visitation. Joseph told Israel God would visit them in Genesis 50. Psalm 50 says the Lord shall come. So, in the fiftieth season, expect Divine visitation. Isaiah 50 tells us why the Lord may not come. Jeremiah 50 shows what happens when God comes: the enemy is overthrown and God’s Elect is restored. It is the intervention of God in a fiftieth season that makes it a season of Jubilee, liberty, and returning to possession. Otherwise, it is a season mourning, oppression, and taking whatever comes. In the 50th book of the Bible, Epaphroditus was sick and close to dying but God delivered him. Today, may the Lord keep you in joy and gladness; and take sorrow and morning away from you.

Day 50 is a Ruth 1:1-13 day in the 8th week. This first section of the eighth book of the Bible is applicable to the first day of the eighth week of the year. In this passage, Elimelech and his wife and two sons moved to Moab from Bethlehem-Judah because of the famine in the land of Israel. Elimelech died in the land of Moab; leaving Naomi and their two sons – Mahlon and Chilion. The sons got married to girls from the land of Moab – Orpah and Ruth. The young men also died; leaving their mother and their wives. Pray against the spirit of death in the fiftieth day. Pray against great falls. It is a day of jubilee but the enemy wants it to be a day of mourning.

Day 50 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 8th week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The first day of the week is the beginning of the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the first 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the first 10 books of the Bible, God revealed Himself as Creator and Caretaker. He chose those who aligned with His purpose for blessings; and reserved judgment for those who disregard Him. The first 10 books began with the creation and fall of the man in the image and likeness of God; and ended with the emergence of the man after God’s heart sitting on the throne of God’s choice nation. David was absolutely loyal to God. He gave himself for whatever God wanted. This is a day of aligning with God and becoming a man (woman) after His heart.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the collapse and end of expressions and manifestations of darkness in your life and world. Decree that expressions of light will triumph in this first day of the week. Today, make a quality decision to receive the word of the Lord and act on it without fear or doubts. Make a quality decision to walk in unconditional love. This is a day of sacrificial (tough) love. Today, take time to hear from God. Do not act without His direction. Follow what He says or shows. Today, seek the Lord against disasters in the week as you come into alignment. Call upon Him for mercy.! Rejoice in the Lord today. Happy 50th day!

Day 49: The Mystery of February 18

Welcome to the 49th day of the year! Day 49 is the 7th and last day of the seventh week of the year. This is the first major ’49th’ in the year. The other major ’49th’ is the 49th week. The Bible patterns for understanding the 49th day are 1) the seventh day of creation narrative; 2) the 49th book of the Bible; 3) the 49th chapters of the Bible; 4) the seventh three chapters (19-21) of Judges, the seventh book of the Bible.

Day 49 is a seventh day of creation day in the seventh week of the year.. On the seventh day, God did not create anything; and there is no mention of ‘evening and morning’ becoming the seventh day. The seventh day is a day of rest set apart from other days. It is not a day of work. God blessed and sanctified the seventh day because He rested in it. Day 49 is a day of rest. The rest of this season is not just a do-nothing rest; but the kind of rest that comes from standing on God’s word, and the finished work, to do things. It is a season of deliverance from unrest and translation into rest. It is a season of accomplishing things by grace through faith. Day 49 is a day to enter into rest by trusting the Strength of God; and leaning on Him.

Day 49 is a Judges 19-21 day in the seventh week. The seventh three chapters of the seventh book of the Bible is applicable to the seventh day of the seventh week of the year. In Judges 19, a Levite lost his wife to gang rape. In chapter 20, war broke out between Benjamin and all Israel because of the woman that was raped to death. Benjamin was almost wiped out of Israel. In Judges 21, all Israel gathered to find a way out of losing a whole tribe from Israel. They found a way of getting wives from Israel for the surviving men of Benjamin. This seventh section is about saving Benjamin. Today, may the Lord deliver you from destruction; and from any evil plan to end your life. Day 49 is a day of redemption.

Day 49 is a book of Ephesians day. Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians is the 49th book of the Bible. This book magnifies the grace of God in Christ Jesus towards our redemption. The book shows that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessings in the heavenly places, that we are accepted in the Beloved, and that we had been chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. In God’s calendar, this is a day of redemption and ransom from death and the grave. In the evil calendar, it is a season to kill and destroy – a season to die. This 49th book says we are saved by grace through faith and not by works. All we have from God is at Christ’s expense. Day 49 is a day of salvation through grace. On 49th day of 2020, former President of the United States, Donald Trump commuted the sentence of former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevick, who was sentenced to serve 14 years on corruption and bribery charges. By the seme token, he and granted clemency to ten others including ‘junk bond king’ Michael Milken; and ex-NYPD Commissioner, Barnard Kerik.

Day 49 is a 49th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 49th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 49th season is a season to be saved, or save others, from death. Psalm 49 is about powerlessness of the rich, wealthy, and mighty, in death.  The 15th verse says, “But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave….”. The death of Jacob is recorded in Genesis 49; and he died at the age of 147 (49×3). He died in a season of redemption from death. But before he died, he released the blessings of Abraham and Isaac upon his sons. He admitted them into blessings they did not labor for. In Isaiah 49, Israel boasts in God as her Redeemer; and the Lord speaks reassuringly to her of restoration to her Land. Jeremiah 49 is about the destruction and desolation of Ammon, Edum, and Elam – for the good of Israel.

Day 48 is a Hebrews – Revelation day in the 7th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week also has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The seventh day of the week is the third and last day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the third nine books of the New Testament. Today is a day of the last battle and ultimate triumph in the week. The third 9 books of the N.T are books of correction, recovery, and restoration. DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, raise a cry against wickedness; trust in the Lord, hope in Him, and take refuge in His grace and mercy. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. This is a day of “IT IS DONE”. Today, you will have pleasure by seeking the pleasure of God. Today, make it priority to honor God. Obey Him. If you missed it anywhere, repent and return to God. This is a day to go back to Bethel. On this 49th day of the year, stand tall on your redemption in Christ. Instead of bringing life to an end, may the Lord speak to you and give you visions concerning the coming years of your life. To be in the 49th season is to be in honor; but you must know it; otherwise, you would be like a beast that perishes (according to Psalm 49). The 49th season is not for locking the future; but for unlocking the future. Happy 49th day!

Day 48: The Mystery of February 17

Welcome to the 48th day of the year! Day 48 is the 6th day of the seventh week of the year. This is the first major ’48th’ in the year. The other major ’48th’ is the 48th week. The Bible patterns for understanding the 48th day are 1) the sixth day of creation narrative; 2) the 48th book of the Bible; 3) the 48th chapters of the Bible; 4) the sixth three chapters (16-18) of Judges, the seventh book of the Bible.

Day 48 is a sixth day of creation day in the seventh week On the sixth day of creation, God created man and land animals. On the sixth day, He made the lord of creation. The greatest came last. God made man in His image and after His likeness, from dust, to have dominion over the other moving creatures. In blessing man with fruitfulness and multiplication, He also stipulated man’s work of ruling, subduing, and replenishing the earth. He also revealed the food-provisions He had made for man and other living creatures. The 48th season is a season of grace. In the 48th season, men receive more good than they deserve. May the Lord show you great favor and grace today. Today, deal graciously and generously with others.

Day 48 is a Judges 16-18 day in the seventh week. The sixth three chapters of the seventh book of the Bible is applicable to the sixth day of the seventh week of the year. In the sixth three chapters of Judges, things went wrong for Samson, Micah, and the people of Laish. The sixth season season is a season to conquer or be conquered. Be careful! This is a day of invasions, attacks, and arrests. In Judges 16, Samson got out of alignment with God, shaved his hair to please Delilah, and lost his connection to God’s power. The Philistines overpowered him, arrested him, and humiliated him. Although Samson scored some victory points here, in answer to desperate prayer, he died with many Philistines in this chapter. In Judges 17, Micah, his mother, and a Levite are involved in religious syncretism. They called on the name of the Lord and also had carved images. Micah lost everything to the Danites. In Judges 18, the people of Laish lost their land to the Danites. In the 48th season, rebellion against God is the gateway to losses. May the Lord keep you from losses today.

Day 48 is a book of Galatians day in the first 49 days of the year. Galatians is the 48th book of the Bible. The 48th book of the Bible is about the election of grace. The book promotes justification by faith as against justification by the works of the law. The writer of the epistle, Paul, was God’s Elect by grace. God’s grace upon him was bestowed sovereignly. In this book, Paul exalts Christ and the finished work. In this book, he fronts for grace and Justification by Faith; against righteousness by the works of the Law. The 48th season is a season of grace. The book also makes a strong case for human responsibility – “whatever a man sows, he shall also reap”. Grace and responsibility go together. Although God shows grace in the 48th season, He also holds man accountable for his choices. The 48th book of the Bible was written to save the Galatians from losing their faith.

Day 48 is a 48th-chapters-of-the-Bible day in the first 49 days of the year. The 48th is a season of God and His Elect. In Genesis 48, Jacob chose to bless Joseph’s children as his own children. He gave Ephraim the place of firstborn though he was second-born. He blessed Ephraim and Manasseh and gave them inheritance as his own sons; though they were grandchildren. This is the election of Grace. The 48th season is also the season of the Kingdom and Habitation of God on earth. The 48th chapters of Psalm and Ezekiel are about the City of God. Psalm 48 is about Mount Zion, the city of our God. Ezekiel is about the city named ‘The Lord is there’; and the division of the land to the 13 tribes. Ezekiel is the only Bible book that ended at the 48th chapter. The beginning and end of the book is about the presence of God on earth. The 48th season is for allotment of portions. The 48th is the season of God’s people. Israel returned to her homeland in 1948. The 48s of the Bible, excepting Jeremiah 48, are about God’s people and their portions of inheritance. The 48th is the season of the inheritance of God’s people. The season of inheritance for God’s people is the season of desolations in the world. When Israel inherited Canaan, it was by dispossessing the Amorites of their land. The losses of Moab, in Jeremiah 48, would mean gain for God’s people.Grace sings very loudly in the 48th season. In Genesis 48, Jacob blessed the two sons of Joseph; and raised them to equal status with their uncles. He also gave the younger son, Ephraim, the place and blessing of firstborn. Joseph’s gentle protest did not change anything. In the 48th book of the Bible, Paul speaks of the divine origin of his apostleship. The Lord brought him to the level of the apostles who had walked the streets of Galilee with Jesus. In 1948, Israel’returned to her homeland to become a nation; after about 2000 years of displacement. On this 48th day, expect the Extravagant and Super Grace of our Sovereign God to work on your behalf, prosper you, and protect you.

Day 48 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 7th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The sixth day of the week is the second day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the second nine books of the New Testament. Today is a day to triumph in warfare through instructions. The second 9 books of the N.T are mentoring books. The pastoral epistles of Paul are in this section. This section of the Bible is for “the preparation of the man of God”.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. Today, show that your primary allegiance is to the God of Israel. You are made in the image and likeness of God. This is a day to commemorate and relive the creation of man in the image and likeness of God. Today, make your way back to the Lord. Even if you are not a backslider, you can still get closer to the goal of expressing the Lord – as His image and likeness. Today, stand out for God as His representative and look into your life, and look around, for things and areas that need to be conformed to God’s standards. Today, pray that the kingdom comes, by the word of God, to establish God’s will in your life, family, church, community, nation; and in the nations of the world. Happy 48th day!

On this day in 2021, armed men raided a school in Kagara, Niger State, Nigeria, and abducted 42 people: 27 students, 3 staff members, and 12 family members of staff.

Day 47: The Mystery of February 16

Welcome to the 47th day of the year! Day 47 is the 5th day of the seventh week of the year. This is the first major ’47th’ in the year. The other major ’47th’ is the 47th week. The Bible patterns for understanding the 47th day are 1) the fifth day of creation narrative; 2) the 47th book of the Bible; 3) the 47th chapters of the Bible; 4) the fifth three chapters (13-15) of Judges, the seventh book of the Bible.

Day 47 is a fifth day of creation day. On the fifth day of creation, God made sea creatures from water and birds of the air from the earth. He made fins and tails for the fish of the sea; and wings for the birds of the air – for balance. The balance represents moderation, justice, equity, and logical thinking. It is also represents a balanced life in the Spirit and the Word and spirit and flesh. He made these creatures in abundance and, for the first time, blessed His creation with fruitfulness and multiplication. Day 47 is a day of abundance, fruitfulness, and multiplication. It is a day of life. It should be a season of loyalty to God for the abundance of all things.

Day 47 is a Judges 13-15 day in the seventh week. The fifth 3 chapters of the seventh book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the seventh week of the year. This section of Judges covers the conception and birth of Samson, his love for Philistine women, and his exploits against the Philistines. He was filled with the Spirit from the womb. He was clothed with the power of God. Although the root of Samson’s power was spiritual (he was a Nazirite), he lived in the flesh. The fifth three chapters of Judges shows it is mediocre to live in the flesh in a fifth season; and especially in a 47th season. This is a day to release power through a spiritual walk with God. The Spirit of God moved strongly through Samson though he walked in the walked so much in the flesh.

Day 47 is a book of Second Corinthians day. Second Corinthians is the 47th book of the Bible and emphasizes the spiritual above the physical or fleshly, the eternal above the temporal, the invisible above the visible, and the heavenly above the earthly. In this book, Paul argues from the unseen to the seen. “We walk by faith and not by sight”. We look at the unseen; and not at the seen”. If our earthly house is destroyed, we have a building in heaven”. The 47th book of the Bible is about viewing all things from a spiritual perspective; and from this book we learn that the 47th season is a time to focus more on the spiritual side of things.

Day 47 is a 47th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 47th season is a season of great favor, answers to prayers, and liberty.

In Genesis 47, Joseph’s family received favor from Pharaoh to dwell in the land of their choice in Egypt. Joesph also took care of them. They lacked nothing. The story was different for Egyptians. Genesis 47 also reveals that the 47th is a season of scarcity, hardship, and servitude, for those who lack proper spiritual covering. Money failed in Egypt until Egyptians sold themselves and their lands to Pharaoh for food. It was Joseph’s opportunity to make Pharaoh rich. In this chapter, however, Joseph did not acquire the land of the priests for Pharaoh; because the 47th season favors the spiritual and the spiritually minded. God intends the 47th season to be a season of life and strength; but it can become a season of weakness and death. Jacob discusses his burial with Joseph. Only Joseph is in a position to take responsibility for Jacob’s burial. Psalm 47 is a psalm of praises to God. Since the 47th season is for the realization of desires and answers to prayers, it then is a season singing praises to God. Isaiah 47 is about judgment against Babylon. Jeremiah 47 is about judgment against Philistia. The 47th season is for the humiliation of the proud and arrogant. It is a season of divine reaction against wickedness and carnality.

Ezekiel 47 reveals that the 47th season is a season of good news. It’s healing season. The chapter is about the healing stream flowing out of the the sanctuary. The 47th season is a season of dryness in which God gives water. In Ezekiel 47, the word ‘water’ (or waters) is used about 13 times. The word ‘river’ (or seas) appears about ten times. The 47th season is a season of scarcity in which God gives abundance. It is a season of dryness when God releases refreshing healing water. It is a season of a spiritual flow that impacts both the spiritual and material. In 1947, Heaven released amazing life-giving ministries that significantly impacted our world. Some of those ministries flowed through vessels like Kathryn Kuhlman, Oral Roberts, Billy Graham, and Tommy & Daisy Osborn.

Day 47 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 7th week. It is a day of the compassionate intervention of God. Every week is like a journey through the Bible having an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and expresses the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The fifth day of the week is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the first nine books of the New Testament. The first 9 books of the NT are about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church. The books are about the love and grace of God granting salvation and justification to humanity by faith. This is a day to enter experientially into the New Testament side of the week. It is a day of answers to prayers, fulfillment of prophecies, and delivery of promises. The New Testament side is the spiritual and deeper side. The New Testament side is the side of manifestation. The old has passed away; and the new has begun. Dreams for the week are expected to come to pass and promises should be fulfilled. Expect deliverance and divine intervention.

DECREE AND DECLARE: At creation, God spoke His will into each day. He made us in His image and likeness; and expects us to release His will into each day. Decree this day that the flesh will not overtake the spirit in your life, family,, organization, and nation. Decree a change in the week and declare that today is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God is with us) takes over. As a New Testament type day, decree that the love of God will overtake human error and failure. Today, submit to the spirit against the flesh. Walk in the spirit and make no room for the flesh. The fifth season is a season of giving spiritual interpretations to earthly manifestations. Today, make it your watchword to walk in the spirit and obey God’s Word. Walking in the spirit is the key to gaining all. Birds (representing the spirit) fly above and eat from the land, the sea, and the air. Today, cry out to God against oppression and for the pains in your life. Speak out also. Trust Him to intervene in your affairs and in the affairs of people around you. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Today, put yourself on the side of blessing by choosing obedience instead of curses by choosing disobedience. Today, give thanks to the Lord for the provisions He had made before the problems arrived. Look beyond the problems and see the opportunities. Make the roadblock your steppingstone. Happy 47th day!

“TURN ON THE LIGHT, AMERICA…!“ – A Revelation of America’s 36th Seven Years

By
Nkem Okemiri

I am not an American but I love America as if I was born there. I have only been to the US a couple of times; but I have deep interest in studying America’s history; and I follow events and developments in the country as if I have a special calling to be a watchmen on her wall. Part of what fascinates me about the history of the US is how the seasons of the nation fit into patterns revealed in the Bible. Whenever I read or study the history of America, I find myself thinking, “this is just like what is written in the book of….” My heart blesses all who are battling in prayer and intercession for the soul of America. Do not give up. As always, the Light will triumph over darkness. 

As someone watching from the sidelines, I want to share an understanding the Lord gave me about praying over the United States in this season. There is a lot I do not know about the United States; and I do not think there is anything the Lord has shown me concerning the US that He has not already shown someone or some people in the US. I feel a burden to share this; and I am committing what I believe the Lord has shown or taught me to all of you watchmen and intercessors who are experiencing this season of the US from the inside for confirmation. Let me begin with my motivation for writing this:

I was praying recently, and I heard a voice in my spirit say, “Turn on the light, America, darkness is coming”. It was like overhearing a conversation between Someone and America.  The voice didn’t say, “Go and tell America that darkness is coming”. I believe I overheard what the Lord was saying to America. I paused to understand what I heard; and perhaps to hear more. As I reflected, the Spirit of God began to guide me into the truth concerning what my spirit caught. He threw light on America’s past and current prophetic seasons to help me see what He said. What I saw and felt made me a little uncomfortable; but the good side of it is that His voice implied Americans have all it would take to handle what is coming – just turning on the light. It doesn’t matter how thick the darkness is, light will prevail; especially if the light is strong and bright. Let me share the light God gave me concerning America’s seasons:

MOVING FROM DEUTERONOMY TO JOSHUA

Since July 1972, the United States has been in her fifth 49 years – counting from 1776 – the year of independence. In this prophetic season, the nation has seen blessings but also seeming curses. The fifth prophetic seasons of nations, or her leaders, is like living in the book of Deuteronomy – the book of blessings and curses. The fifth 7 Presidents of the United States were Warren Harding (29th), Calvin Coolidge (30th), Herbert Hoover (31st), Franklin D. Roosevelt (32nd), Harry S. Truman (33rd), Dwight D. Eisenhower (34th), and John F. Kennedy (35th). Three of those Presidents died in office- the 29th, the 32nd, and the 35th. That doesn’t sound like a blessing. The fifth season (5th year, 5th seven years, fifth 49 years, or fifth 343 years) of any nation can be a turbulent season if it is not jealousy guarded.

The United States is going through the last year in the fifth seven years of her fifth 49 years.  By July 5, 2021, the United States would have completed her fifth 49 years; or her 35th seven years since independence. Then she would be stepping into the sixth 49 years; beginning with the 36th seven years of her nationhood. The Lord told me that transition to the sixth 49 years is like moving from the book of Deuteronomy into the book of Joshua. Don’t forget the death that was in-between. He also said it is like moving from the fifth seven books of the Bible (Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, and Habakkuk) into the sixth seven books of the Bible (Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Matthew, Mark, and Luke) – each book representing seven years from 1972 when the fifth 49 years began; to 2070 when the sixth 49 years will end. It means the New Testament of the US is still ahead. There is a great battle to fight but the Promised Land is worth fighting for. There are hurdles and mountains to cross but the redemption of the United States is the prize. 

FROM LINCOLN TO JOHNSON; AND FROM KENNEDY TO JOHNSON

The Lord said the immediate crossing to the 36th seven years (by July 4, 2021) is like moving from Habakkuk to Zephaniah. America has been in the book of Habakkuk since July 2014. Read Habakkuk to understand the season that’s about to end in the US. The United States would be crossing over, prophetically, to the book of Zephaniah by July 2021. Without the help of God, a seven-year book-of-Zephaniah season is a tough season to be in. The book of Zephaniah speaks about the dark and gloomy Day of the Lord. The only way to escape the negative side of the 36th season is to depart from the things Zephaniah spoke against. The Lord also said moving from the 35th seven years to the 36th seven years is like moving from the battle season of Lincoln to the turbulent seasons Johnson and Grant in the 19th century; and like moving from Kennedy to Johnson in the 20th century. What does that mean? Abraham Lincoln was President in the 35th seven years – counting from 1620. The president was assassinated and that season ended. Andrew Johnson and Ulysses Grant were presidents in the 36th seven years from 1620. Andrew Johnson’s season was tumultuous and he became the first US President to be impeached. J. F Kennedy was the 35th President and Lyndon Johnson was the 36th President. The assassination of the President ended the season of the 35th President. COVID-19 deaths is ending America’s 35th seven years. There is a ‘seasons factor’ to everything that happens under heaven. The Holy Spirit is indicating that living in the 36th seven years of the US could be like living in the days of the 36th President when both Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assassinated. Think of Vietnam War too.

THE DEATH BETWEEN THE 35TH AND THE 36TH

The Bible has a numbering pattern that helps us to understand our dated and numbered seasons. The Bible shows that, in the 35th season, the kingdom of darkness partners with the spirit of death to make the 35th season a season of death and dying. The devil knows this and goes out to terminate lives in 35th season. Many of God’s people do not understand this.

The 35th is an endpoint that opens the door to a new season. 

In Genesis 35, Jacob lost three people – Isaac his father, Rachael his wife, and Deborah, his mother’s nurse.

In First Chronicles 35, King Josiah died from battle injury following his sweeping reforms in Judah.

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 – the year closing the 35th seven years of America from 1620. 

John F. Kennedy, the 35th President was assassinated in 1963; and Lyndon Johnson became the 36th president.

September 2, 1935, on the last day of the 35th week of the year, Labor Day Hurricane – the strongest hurricane ever to strike the United States – made a landfall in the Upper Florida Keys and killed 423 people. On September 8, in the 36th week of the year, Carl Weiss shot and fatally wounded ‘The Kingfish’, Huey Long, U.S. Senator from Louisiana at the Louisiana Capitol Building in Baton Rouge. 

King George VI died February 1952, the year ending the 35th seven years of the United Kingdom from 1707. His daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, succeeded him.

Think of this: in 2020, the year before the end of the 35th seven years of the United States. COVID-19 claimed over 215, 000 lives in the United States. This is besides people lost to shootings, brutality, violent protests, and other health issues.

WHAT IS GOD’S WILL FOR THE SEASON?

The closing verses of Isaiah 35 and Jeremiah 35 reveal how God wants the 35th season to end. Isaiah 35:10 says, “And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away”. Jeremiah 35:18-19 says, “And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts and done according to all that he commanded you, [19] therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before Me forever.” 

The 35th seven years is the season ending the fifth 49 years. It is a sabbath season of rest and was never intended to be a season of unrest. It is violating the values and principles of the Sabbath-season that makes it a season of unrest. The deaths that occur in the 35th season are not predestined deaths. They are avoidable deaths; but so much depends on sensitivity to the season; and on which side of the season we’re living in. They are also a spiritual statement announcing the end of an era of wandering; a time to put off the old and put on the new. The Spirit of the Lord is indicating that an era has ended, and is ending, in the United States. America is stepping into a new day – into a new prophetic week.

THE 36TH BOOK AND CHAPTERS OF THE BIBLE

The 36th seven years of the United States is a 36th-chapters-of-the-Bible season. The 36th chapters reveal that a 36th prophetic week is a season of serious conflict between light and darkness; ad between problems and solutions. The 36th chapter of Genesis is given to Esau the father of Edomites – the enemies of Israel. In Exodus 36, God called Bezaleel and his company to undertake the work of the tabernacle. What does the tabernacle have to with 36th season? It is the war room of the season – from where battles are won. In Numbers 36, Moses solved the problem that could arise from the daughters of Zelophehad marrying outside the tribe of Manasseh. The 36th season is a time to ensure your heritage does not fall to another.  Jerusalem and Judah fell to Babylon in Second Chronicles 36; but the chapter ended with the Proclamation of Cyrus allowing the Jews to return and rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem. 

In Job 36, Elihu proclaims the majesty of God – the Majesty of Light. Psalm 36 opens with the works of the wicked, moved on to the mercies of God, and ends with “Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. [12] There the workers of iniquity have fallen; They have been cast down and are not able to rise”. In Isaiah 36, the king of Assyria threatened Judah and king Hezekiah. That was darkness rising over Judah. In Jeremiah 36, king Jehoiakim burnt Jeremiah’s scroll (the light of Judah) after hearing the contents of the scroll read to him. Jeremiah rewrote the words of the scroll. The king wanted to turn off the light from God’s word; but Jeremiah brought back the light. The king brought curses upon himself and his family by his arrogance. Darkness may rise in the 36th season but light will prevail. I believe that is the reason the Spirit of God said, “Turn on the light, America; darkness is coming”. You cannot stop a season of darkness from coming; but you can make the darkness powerless with light.

THE NATURE OF THE NEW DAY AND WHAT GOD EXPECTS FROM US

The word of God is lamp and light. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path”. That means the Word of God can help us to see where we are and where we are going. 

1. America’s sixth 49 years is a season of intense spiritual warfare. The sixth book and chapters of the Bible bear witness that the sixth season is a season of war. The 20th century was a sixth season century. It was the sixth in the third 7 centuries of Our Lord. Two world wars happened in this century; and WW2 began in the sixth 7 years of the century. The War of 1812 happened within the sixth 7 years of the United States. The battle of America’s sixth 49 years is not about Republicans and Democrats. It is not a fight between the Whites and the Blacks. It is a war between light and darkness. It is about possessing the Land God promised His people. This is a season to conquer or be conquered. The Amorites in the land won’t let go. To win the battle, the church in America must be prepared and equipped with the warfare principles in the sixth book and chapters of the Bible. Unity is key! In the sixth book of the Bible, Israel was united in the battle for the Promised Land. The tribes are not mentioned until the land was taken and mapped out for distribution. Americans must unite in the battle for the land. Divisiveness at this point is extremely costly. 

America must listen to God to win the battles of her sixth 49 years. It was by listening to, and following, divine instructions that Joshua and Israel overthrew the Canaanites. From the crossing of the Jordan to the last battle against the Canaanites, Joshua followed instructions. The only time they (through Achan) disregarded the word of God, they lost the battle with Ai. The sixth book and chapters of the Bible reveal that receiving and adhering to instructions is the way to prosper in a sixth season. If America does not listen to God in this season, she cannot stand even before the least of her enemies. You need to read the sixth book of the Bible to understand this. The reason God made man in His image on the sixth day of creation and gave him dominion is because the one who will win the battle in the sixth season must be in alignment with God – operating with His Spirit, wisdom, and power,

2. The leadership of the nation and church in America must transit from the Moses style to the Joshua-type leadership. Moses was a Do it for the People leader. He prayed for the people, fasted for them, provided food and water for them, met with God for them, and also heard fromGod for the them. Joshua was a DIY leader. He gave the people instructions from God; and the people did whatever needed to be done. A lot more can be said about this. The days of Manna falling in America are over! This is not about Trump or any other leader. The season has changed. He that has an ear, let him hear what what the Spirit of God is saying. This is the time to fight for, and possess, the land the Founding Fathers saw ahead. Better days are ahead; but America must understand the times to know what to do.

3. God’s people must walk by faith and never be intimidated by the giant nature of the problems facing America. God’s promise to Joshua is His promise to the remnant Church in America: “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. [6] Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. [7] Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. [8] This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. [9] Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

The battles of the sixth season are fought and won by faith. America needs FAITH now! By faith, the giants will fall before her.

4. Call a ‘Return to Bethel’ solemn assembly to mark the end of the 35th seven years; and make it a time for America to return to the God of her foundation. This is a Bethel season in the United States. Let America end the 35th seven years with a Return to Bethel, the House of God, the place of first encounter with God. As I write this, I hear the Spirit of God saying, “I have changed your name from ‘Jacob’ to ‘Israel’”.

5. Let the Church in America begin the ‘first season’ of the sixth 49 years (or 36th seven years) – from July 5, 2021 – with prayer and worship; to seek God’s favor and receive instructions for the new season. Proclaim it in all your states that darkness WILL NOT dominate America’s 36th seven years.

6. Pray that the darkness and gloominess spoken of in the 36th book of the Bible will not overtake the nation in her 36th seven years (July 2021 – July 2028).

7. Give attention to production and preservation of food. Americans are very generous with food. The sixth book and sixth chapters of the Bible reveal that food is important in the sixth season. God spoke about food on the sixth day of creation. In the sixth book of the Bible, God took Israel to fight for the land flowing with milk and honey and said they should not destroy fruit trees. Almost every sixth chapter of the Bible (from Genesis to Revelation) has something to say about food – especially the scarcity of it. The enemy will work hard to throw America into a massive economic depression; but I pray her bans and storehouses would not be dry and empty in this season. I pray she will not lack favorable rain in this season. I pray she is delivered from hurricanes, tornadoes, and destructive fires. I am not talking about something that must happen next year or the year after. The Lord is beaming on some years within the next 49 years. Time is a gate and should be guarded. What more can I say?

America has been a blessing. I bless her in the name of the Lord. May those who favor her just cause triumph. “Turn on the light, America….” Do it in the November 2020 Presidential elections. “Turn on the light…darkness is coming! God Bless America!!!

Australia National Solemn Assembly – a timely initiative

The indigenous people of Australia is mobilizing Australians (indigenous and non – indigenous) to cry out to God this weekend (September 26-27, 2020, 9am – 9pm each day) for the healing of their land. The indigenous leader of this initiative, Pastor Peter Walker, said he’s had this dream for nine years. The National Council of Churches and National Day of Prayer and Fasting Movement are collaborating with the indigenous people to make this happen. The founders of USA Watch and Global Watch, Fred and Susan Rowe, are also mobilizing watchmen and intercessors from other countries to join the Australians in this prayer for the healing of Australia.

What is so special about this initiative, and why do I think it is a timely response? Australia gained independence from Britain in 1901. This year, 2020, is the beginning of her 18th seven years. So, what’s the big deal? God controls history and the Bible reveals that what had been is what will be. The 18th book and chapters of the Bible give the clue to seasons numbered 18 – whether it is the 18th century, 18th Forty-nine years,18th seven years, 18th year, or 18th week. 

All 18th seasons have guiding light in the 18th book and chapters of the Bible. The spirit of destruction and death is very active in this season; and those who are ignorant and insensitive may become victims in this season. Job is the 18th book of the Bible. Think of the troubles that befell God’s servant in that book. In the 18th chapter of Genesis, the Lord was on His way to destroy Sodom. Abraham’s intercession delayed the move and saved Lot and his family. In Second Chronicles 18, lying spirits deceived Ahab to go to war and die there. 

How does this play out in the history of nations? Very strongly! The 18th century was a century of disasters, revolutions, and deaths. It was a season of ‘dreadful visitation’. In the 18th seven years of the United States, four major things happened: the American-Spanish War (1898), Vice President Garret Hobart died in office (1899), America – Philippine War (1899), and assassination of the 25th President, William McKinley (1901). In 1918, the 18th year of the 20th century, the world was plagued with a flu pandemic that claimed millions of lives.

In the 18th seven years of the United Kingdom, a three-month heat wave and drought hit the country from June 1 to August 31, 1826;  April 10, 1827, Lord Liverpool resigned as Prime Minister because of ill – health. George Canning succeeded him but died in office after 119 days of being appointed. He was the shortest serving UK Prime Minister. June 26 1830, King George IV died at the age of 68 following his 10-year reign. On 17 August, 1831, Paddle Steamer, Rothsay Castle got wrecked with a loss of 93 lives. On the last three days of October 1831, Queens Square Riots broke out in Bristol. About 100 houses were burnt down; and hundreds of people were injured. Between 1831 – 1832 a Cholera pandemic killed about 3000. July 16, 1832 (The Bad Day) – 31 fishing crafts were lost in a storm leaving 105 crew dead. The 18th seven years ended with good news. On 18 April 1833, there was a 300-man delegation to the Prime Minister demanding the abolition of slavery in the empire. The Abolition Act was signed August 28. The 18th ends with joy – as in the 18th book of the Bible.

Australia’s 18th seven years opened with record-breaking bushfires that started in the later part of 2019. Prayers are needed for Australia so that her 18th seven years would not be a disaster-ridden season.
