Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

  1. 1. June 8 (in a Clear year); June 7 (in a Leap year).

2. The fifth day of the 23rd Week (June 4 –10 in a Clear year/ June 3 – 10 in a Leap year).

3. The 12th day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 July 15).

4. The 159th day of the year (from January 1). In this article, this day will be called Day 159

5. A fifth-season day because it is the fifth day of the 23rd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

1. The fifth day of creation (Genesis 1: 20-23)

2. Isaiah 40-48

3. The 12th book of the Bible (Second Kings)

4. The first 9 books of the New Testament

Day 159 is a fifth-day-of-creation season. On the fifth day of creation, God began to bless creation. He did not pronounce blessings on anything He created before the fifth day. On that day, He made His first flesh and blood creatures in abundance; and blessed them with fruitfulness and multiplication. He made them to move. All flesh and blood creatures are mobile creatures. They need movement to keep the blood flowing and their flesh active. In the fifth season, God intends abundance, life, sensitivity, freedom, movement, blessing, fruitfulness, and multiplication to the characteristic. He desires the same thing in the twelfth season. 

In the same seasons (the fifth and the twelfth), the enemy fights with scarcity, curses, bondage, death, barrenness, and decimation. Predators and prey also came into existence on the fifth day of creation. It is a season, creatures that prey on weaker creatures also move about. The 12th book of the Bible, Second Kings, attests to this; so also the 12th chapters of the Bible. Why would the 12th president of the United States die, barely 16 months in office, in a season of deliverance from deaths? Nigeria’s 10th National Leader, Sani Abacha, died in office on this day in 1998. The fifth (12th) day is a day to declare “I shall not want” and “I shall not fear” and “I shall not die”.

Day 159 is Isaiah 40-48 season. The fifth nine chapters of the 23rd book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 23rd week. These nine reveal that a fifth season like Day 159 is a season of prayer, hope, comfort, change, and blessing.

From the 40th to the 45th chapters of Isaiah, God spoke comfort and hope to His people. He spoke of the restoration of Israel and about Cyrus – His instrument of restoration. Isaiah 43:1-6 says, “But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west; I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth”.

From the fifth-section chapters of Isaiah (40-48), we learn that going through Day 159 is also like going from the book of Matthew (the 40th book the Bible) and landing in the book of Galatians – the 48th book of the Bible.

On this fifth-season day, declare that only God’s will for the fifth season shall manifest in your life. Call upon God to turn your crisis and cries into comfort and consolation; and your battles to victories.

Day 159 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 23rd 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. Have a happy 159th day!

General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s 10th National Leader, died on this day in 1998.

June 7: The Mystery of the 158th Day

Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

  1. 1. June 7 (in a Clear year); June 6 (in a Leap year).

2. The fourth day of the 23rd Week (June 4 –10 in a Clear year/ June 3 – 10 in a Leap year).

3. The 11th day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 July 15).

4. The 158th day of the year (from January 1). In this article, this day will be called Day 158

5. A fourth-season day because it is the fourth day of the 23rd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

1. The fourth day of creation (Genesis 1: 14-19)

2. Isaiah 31-39

3. The 11th book of the Bible (First Kings)

4. The last 9 books of the Old Testament

Day 158 is a fourth day of creation season. It is fourth-season day in the 23rd week.  It’s the bridge-day in the week. It’s a cross-over-day. On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries to keep the darkness of the season in check. The fourth season is a season of helpful revelations and insights. If received, they help; if rejected, the result is pain. Decisions and actions, in the fourth season, shape the path of the future. Think of Israel in the fourth book, and the fourth seven books of the Bible; Jesus in the fourth chapters of Matthew and Luke; Rehoboam, the fourth king of United Israel. Think of Mexico in the season of the eleventh President of the United States, John Polk. The Mexican-American War took place in the fourth seven years of Mexico’s independence. Mexico gained independence on September 27, 1821. The war with America began May 13, 1846 – the middle of her fourth 7 years’ in the 25th year of her independence. Mexico went to war with the United States for rejecting the annexation of Texas and then lost more than they wanted to keep. John Polk was a wise fourth season leader. The Mexican leader in this season, Santas Anna, did not understand the mystery of Mexico’s fourth seventh years; and so could not manage it well. 

The fourth day is the bridge in the week. It stands between the first three days of battle and the last three days of blessings. It is the bridge to the ‘other side’. In the fourth chapter of Mark, Jesus said to His disciples, “”Let us cross over to the other side”. The other side they were going was in the fifth chapter. The fourth is the bridge you must cross from 1-2-3 to get to 5-6-7. May the Lord help you to make a good crossing today.

Day 158 is an eleventh season day. It is the eleventh day in the fourth 7 weeks of the year. The eleventh book and chapters of the Bible reveal that the eleventh season is a critical season. It is the bridge to the future. Languages multiplied and the world divided in Genesis 11. Israel split into two kingdoms in the eleventh book of the Bible. Idol worship also became official in Israel from the eleventh book. This led to the rising of confrontational prophets. Paul became a recognized minister in the early church from the eleventh chapter of Acts. Day 158 is the bridge to the future. Franklin D. Roosevelt became the 32nd President in the 158th year of the United States. He was the first and only US President to be elected for a fourth term. His presidency was light in a season of economic darkness in the United States. He led the nation through WW2 till his death in 1945.

Day 158 is Isaiah 31- 39 season. The fourth section of the 23rd book of the Bible is applicable to the fourth day of the 23rd week. This is a season when darkness seeks to take over people’s lives through confusion, deception, foolishness, rebellion, and disasters. Isaiah 31-39 is a reenact of the fourth day of creation. These nine chapters focus more on Israel trusting God instead being deceived by blind prophets to lean on ‘stronger nations’. It derides the folly of not trusting in God for strength, counsel, and direction. 

Isaiah 31:1-3 says, “Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the LORD! Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster, And will not call back His words, But will arise against the house of evildoers, And against the help of those who work iniquity. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, Both he who helps will fall, And he who is helped will fall down; They all will perish together.

This section ends with the threat of Sennacherib to overrun Judah by a campaign to first destabilize their faith and confidence in God. He was an agent of Darkness seeking to overtake Hezekiah and all Judah. The story of the deliverance from war and death, and the fall of Sennacherib, is recorded in this section of the 23rd book of the Bible.

The last three chapters (37-39) are about Hezekiah. In the 37th chapter, Hezekiah consulted the prophet and he prayed to God concerning the threats of Sennacherib the Assyrian Predator. God heard hear his prayer and spoke to him through Isaiah the prophet. Isaiah 37:33-35 says, “Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow there, Nor come before it with shield, Nor build a siege mound against it. By the way that he came, By the same shall he return; And he shall not come into this city,’ Says the LORD. For I will defend this city, to save it For My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.'” In the 38th chapter, Hezekiah was sick unto death. The prophet told him he would die; but he prayed fervently to God and received mercy. Isaiah 38:2-6 says, “Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, and said, “Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying, “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.”‘ The 39th chapter is about the visit of the servants of the king of Babylonians to rejoice with Hezekiah for his recovery from sickness. He was not very sensitive at this point and opened his house to another Predator – the king of Babylon. Isaiah 39:5-7 says, “Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of hosts: [6] ‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have accumulated until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ says the LORD. [7] ‘And they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you, whom you will beget; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'” Isaiah was not comfortable with what Hezekiah did but the king did not understand or bother. In the fourth season, it is important to know your friends and enemies. Hezekiah was not discerning.

Today, the Lord will help you against the efforts of darkness to drive you into hurtful errors through deception and confusion.

Day 158 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 23rd 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.

Happy 158th day.

June 6: The Mystery of the 157th Day

Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

  1. 1. June 6 (in a Clear year); June 5 (in a Leap year).

2. The third day of the 23rd Week (June 4 –10 in a Clear year/ June 3 – 10 in a Leap year).

3. The 10th day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 July 15). It is a game-changing day in the fourth seven weeks.

4. The 157th day of the year (from January 1). In this article, this day will be called Day 157

5. A third-season day because it is the third day of the 23rd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

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

2. Isaiah 21-30

3. The 10th book of the Bible (Second Samuel)

4. The third 10 books of the Bible

Day 157 is a third day of creation season. The mystery of the third season governs the tenth. On the third day of creation, God showcased the dry ground and made it a solid platform for vegetation, animals, man, and their affairs. He released the earth from under the waters. Before this time, the waters limited the earth and hindered its manifestation. It is a season of revealing new platforms and establishing them. God subdued and conquered the waters over the earth before He manifested the earth. Today, may the Lord help you and blow off the hindering lid over your life. 

Day 157 is a tenth-season day. It is a pattern in the Bible that limitations are dismantled in the tenth season. That’s when the lid is blown off. God gave David platform in the tenth book of the Bible. He became the platform-king of Israel. God dismantled the lid and limitation over Gentiles through Peter’s encounter in Acts 10. Joshua fought the enemies of Israel by transcending the sun-moon limitations of night and day. In the tenth chapters of Matthew and Luke, Jesus sent his disciples to on a mission to practice what they had learned. 

The tenth President of the United States, John Tyler, became president after serving 31 days as tenth US Vice President. He succeeded William Henry Harrison, the 9th US President, who died of pneumonia after 31 days in office. The presidency of John Tyler also opened the tenth seven years of the United States. The lid goes off in the tenth season. Tyler was destined to be president when he did. He became president eight days into his 52nd year. The 52nd year is a third-season year. President Harrison died within the tenth seven years of His life. The tenth season is for unleashing new strength and new potential. It’s for releasing those who have been under. In Genesis 10, Noah’s sons took over the stage. Exodus 10 was the end of Moses’ negations with Pharaoh.  Exodus 10:29 says, “So Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will never see your face again.”

Day 157 is Isaiah 21-30 season. The third ten chapters of the 23rd book of the Bible are applicable to the third day of the 23rd week of the year. These ten chapters express God’s work on the third day of creation. This is the season to dismantle ‘the covering’ and exalt ‘the hidden’ platforms. In Isaiah 19-27, the prophet made proclamations against Egypt, Ethiopia, Babylon, Tyre, and against Shebna and official in Judah. God said, Eliakim would rise to take the place of Shebna. God’s word concerning Shebna and Eliakim demonstrates God’s action in third seasons like the 157th. Isaiah 22:15-25 says, “Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: “Go, proceed to this steward, To Shebna, who is over the house, and say: What have you here, and whom have you here, That you have hewn a sepulcher here, As he who hews himself a sepulcher on high, Who carves a tomb for himself in a rock? Indeed, the LORD will throw you away violently, O mighty man, And will surely seize you. He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball Into a large country; There you shall die, and there your glorious chariots Shall be the shame of your master’s house. So I will drive you out of your office, And from your position he will pull you down. Then it shall be in that day, That I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah; I will clothe him with your robe And strengthen him with your belt; I will commit your responsibility into his hand. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem And to the house of Judah. The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open, and no one shall shut; And he shall shut, and no one shall open. I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place, And he will become a glorious throne to his father’s house. They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the posterity, all vessels of small quantity, from the cups to all the pitchers. In that day,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘the peg that is fastened in the secure place will be removed and be cut down and fall, and the burden that was on it will be cut off; for the LORD has spoken.'”

The 24th chapter is about the devastating judgment of the earth. Isaiah 24:21-23 says, 

“It shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth the kings of the earth. They will be gathered together, As prisoners are gathered in the pit, And will be shut up in the prison; After many days they will be punished. Then the moon will be disgraced And the sun ashamed; For the LORD of hosts will reign On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem And before His elders, gloriously”.

The 25th chapter is prophetic praise to God for his judgments. Isaiah 25:6-8 says, “And in this mountain The LORD of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees. And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken”. The 26th chapter is a song of salvation. The 27th chapter is a proclamation against ‘the Leviathan’ of the season and for the restoration of Israel.

This is a day of overthrow on one hand; and a day of establishment on the other hand. May the Lord overthrow your adversary and establish you, your dreams and desires today.

Day 157 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the 23rd week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The third day of the week is the third day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the third 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the third 10 books of the Bible, God sent His prophets to speak to the people. They confronted the people, warned them against judgment, comforted the faithful, and brought judgment on the arrogant. The third day is for the overthrow of the rebellious and establishment of the humble and just. How you fare in this season depends on your attitude and response to the word of God. This is a day of prophetic confrontation and judgment.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. This is a day of manifestation. Do not be afraid to take a stand for the Lord. It is a season to come out of hiding and obscurity. It is a day to overthrow oppression and the oppressor. It is a day to establish the humble. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, be ready to hear His voice and respond by faith. Expect breakthrough. Be willing to sacrifice. Walk by faith! This is a day of breakthrough and pushing through barriers in the week. This is a day of unveiling. It is a day of answers to prayers. Today, pray for the overthrow of dysfunctional systems in the nations and in the church. Pray that God will make a way for the manifestation of hidden platforms and producers. Pray also that the forgotten functional people and things be remembered, recognized, and restored. Today, remember that when God delivers and manifests, it is for service and production. Do not consume His mercy on your lust. On this third day of the week, the oppressor will go down and the humble shall be delivered. Happy third day of the week! Happy Day 157!

On this day in 2021, Prophet TB Joshua died.

Day 156: The Mystery of June 5

By
Nkem Okemiri

Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

  1. 1. June 5 (in a Clear year); June 4 (in a Leap year).

2. The second day of the 23rd Week (June 4 –10 in a Clear year/ June 3 – 10 in a Leap year).

3. The 9th day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 July 15).

4. The 156th day of the year (from January 1). In this article, this day will be called Day 156

5. A second-season day because it is the second day of the 23rd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

1. The second day of creation (Genesis 1: 6-8)

2. Isaiah 11-20

3. The 9th book of the Bible (First Samuel)

4. The second 10 books of the Bible.

Day 156 is a second day of creation season. God made the firmament on the second day of creation. The creation and existence of the firmament made room and space for other things to exist. The second season is a day of great help. God gives help in second seasons like the 156th day. In this season, He makes way where there is none.

Day 156 is a 9th season day. It is the 9th day in the fourth 7 weeks of the year. The ninth season (the second of the second seven) is also a day of great help. It is a season of deliverance from oppression, destruction, and death (for the godly). The Jews in Persia received great help in Esther 9. Saul received help in First Samuel 9. The ninth book of the Bible is full of testimonies of divine assistance. In Acts 9, the Church, Aenas, and Dorcas received help. There are testimonies of deliverances in the ninth chapters of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The evil one seeks to kill and destroy in the ninth season. The ninth President of the United States died in office after about one month of his inauguration. This is a day of recovery – not a day of losses.

Day 156 is Isaiah 11-20 season. The second ten chapters of the 23rd book of the Bible is applicable to the second day of the 23rd week of the year. The 156th season is for beating down the proud and arrogant oppressor. In the second 10 chapters of Isaiah, God decreed woes on the proud and oppressive kingdoms and kings: Assyria, Babylon, Philistia, Moab and Egypt.

The 11th chapter is about the emergence of the “rod from the stem of Jesse”. He is ‘the firmament’ dividing the dominating waters in the season. Isaiah 11:1-9 says, “There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist. “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea”.

The 12th chapter is a celebration of God’s salvation. Isaiah 12:1-6 says, “And in that day you will say: “O LORD, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.'” Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation. And in that day you will say: “Praise the LORD, call upon His name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted. Sing to the LORD, For He has done excellent things; This is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!”

The 13th and 14th chapters are about the fall of Babylon. In the 15th and 16th chapters, Isaiah prophesied against Moab. The 17th chapter is about Syria; and the 18th chapter about Ethiopia. The 19th and 20th chapter chapters are about Egypt. God judges oppressive monopolies in Second seasons.

Today, may the Lord grant you testimonies of deliverances, breakthroughs, and restoration. 

Day 156 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 23rd week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The second day of the week is the second day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the second 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the second 10 books of the Bible, God wanted the kings of Israel to trust Him and lead the nation in the same direction. Beginning with Solomon, the kings of Israel began to patronize Idols. Idol worship became official in the northern kingdom following the split. Judah followed. Prophets rose in this season to call the nation back to God. Eventually, the two kingdoms went into captivity – the north fell to Assyria; and the south to the Babylonians. The Jews did return from captivity after 70 years. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) show that loss of faith in God is prelude to the loss of all things in the second season; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph in the second season by the power and wisdom of God no matter what happens.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. This is a day of Help from Above. This is a day of making and finding a way where there is none. This is a day of war to weaken and break the strength of evil powers. This is a day of recovering losses. 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 156th day!

Day 155: The Mystery of June 4

Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

  1. 1. June 4 (in a Clear year); June 3 (in a Leap year).

2. The first day of the 23rd Week (June 4 –10 in a Clear year/ June 3 – 10 in a Leap year).

3. The 8th day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 July 15). It is a new beginning in the fourth seven weeks.

4. The 155th day of the year (from January 1). In this article, this day will be called Day 155

5. A first-season day because it is the first day of the 23rd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

1. The first day of creation (Genesis 1: 1-5)

2. Isaiah 1-10

3. The 8th book of the Bible (Ruth)

4. The first 10 books of the Bible.

Day 155 is a first day of creation season. It is a first-season day. On the first day of creation, God released light out of darkness against darkness. He also divided the light from the darkness. He called the light day; and the darkness, He called night. God is Light and there is no darkness in Him. He is associated with day and light; but the adversary is associated with night and darkness. Light manifests through knowledge, truth, and godliness. God’s word is light and how we relate with it in the first season matters a lot. Day 155 is a day of conflict between light and darkness. It is a day of war between day and night; but light and day will triumph over darkness and night. In a season like this, God raises war against people and purposes that contradict His nature of light. He fights darkness in His people and around them. Today, may light rise against darkness in your life and circumstances.

Day 155 is an 8th day season. It is th 8th day in the fourth 49 days of the year. It expresses the 8th book and 8th chapters of the Bible. The eighth season is a new beginning and is for bouncing back. It is for relocation and return. The eight season is for relocation and recovery from disasters. Ruth is the 8th book of the Bible. Naomi relocated to Moab with her husband and sons,  and returned to the land with her daughter in law. In Genesis 8, Noah and his family came out of the ark after the flood had ceased. In Second King 8, the Shunemite woman and her family were hidden and delivered from famine. In Acts 8, the church began to spread and recover from the disaster of Saul’s death. As an 8th day, Day 155, is a new beginning of recovery and restoration. In the eighth season, God leads His people to turn disasters into stepping stones for a new beginning. In the eighth season, he makes disasters work for us and for His glory. In the eighth season, He makes pains to become gains; and ruins to become rain.

Day 155 is an Isaiah 1-10 season. The first ten chapters of the 23rd book of the Bible are applicable to the first day of the 23rd week. They are the ‘first-day’ chapters of the ‘Isaiah-week’. These ten chapters re-enact the first day of creation and the first book of the Bible. As God dealt with darkness on the first day of creation, and dealt with rebellion in the first book of the Bible, that is how He reacts against the rebellion of His people in these chapters. God does not tolerate rebellion in a first season like the 155th. In this section of Isaiah, He expects loyalty and cooperation from His people in first seasons especially. God expressed His displeasure with Judah in the days of Uzziah and Ahaz. King Uzziah became proud and died in His pride. That was the reason Isaiah had a vision of God after the death of Uzziah. He saw that God was king over Uzziah. King Ahaz served idols. The first season is a time to honor God and His word. It matters to God how we relate with Him in this season. In this section of Isaiah, God’s people did not honor Him duly. God is First and the first is God’s. Isaiah 2:11-21 says, “The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, And the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up- And it shall be brought low- Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, And upon all the oaks of Bashan; Upon all the high mountains, And upon all the hills that are lifted up; Upon every high tower, And upon every fortified wall; Upon all the ships of Tarshish, And upon all the beautiful sloops. The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; The LORD alone will be exalted in that day, But the idols He shall utterly abolish. They shall go into the holes of the rocks, And into the caves of the earth, From the terror of the LORD And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily. In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver And his idols of gold, Which they made, each for himself to worship, To the moles and bats, To go into the clefts of the rocks, And into the crags of the rugged rocks, From the terror of the LORD And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily”.

In this section, also, Isaiah spoke of a virgin giving birth. The virgin conception was a sign given to king Ahaz assuring him of divine intervention. That was the rising of the Light of the world. Isaiah 9:2 says, “The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined”. 

The first season always ends with judgment and election – as God judged darkness and elected light on the first day of creation. Isaiah 10 is about the judgment of Assyria and the restoration of the elect-people, Israel. 

Day 155 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 23rd 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. Today, may God find, in you, a man or 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.! Today, may light shine out of darkness for you. Happy 155th day!

Day 154: The Mystery of June 3

Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

  1. 1. June 3 (Clear year); June 2 (Leap year).

2. The 7th day of the 22nd Week (May 28 – June 3 in a Clear year/ May 27 – June 2 in a Leap year)

3. The 7th day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 July 15).

4. The 154th day of the year (from January 1). In this article, this day will be called Day 154

5. A seventh-season day because it is the 7th day of the 22nd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

1. The 7th day of creation (Genesis 2: 1-3)

2. Songs of Solomon 8

3. The 7th book of the Bible (Judges)

4. The third and last 9 books of the New Testament.

Day 154 is a seventh day of creation in the 22nd week. The seventh day is marked for rest, honoring God, and freedom from toil. It is a blessed day. Of the seven days of creation, the seventh day is the only one God blessed. There was no work to bless on this day; so, God blessed the day itself. As a seventh-day season, Day 154 is a blessed day. It is a day that makes things work for people. What happens when a day is blessed? When a person, family, a marriage, a field, or a project, is blessed, things go well for the blessed. When a day is blessed, things go well on that day; and people enjoy the day. A blessed day brings forth good things for people. A blessed day has an atmosphere of blessings. Even if you are not blessed, the blessing on the day could rob off on you. In the days of Jesus’ ministry on earth, He gave healings and deliverances to many people on the seventh (Sabbath) day. The reason God blessed the seventh day is because the evil one intends it to be a day of curses and struggles. You don’t have to have what the enemy intended; when you can have what God intends for the day. May this seventh-season day yield good for you and all yours.

Day 154 is a Song of Songs chapter 8 season. The seventh and last section of the 22nd book of the Bible is applicable to the seventh and last day of the 22nd week. In this section (after the first line of the ninth verse), the Beloved ceased speaking; except in 8:13 where he called the Shulamite “You who dwell in the gardens“; and desired to hear her voice. Dwelling in the garden is a reference or an allusion to enjoying the finished work. The garden had been planted; and now, she dwells in it. This reminds us how God planted a garden East of Eden and put man there. Genesis 2:8 says, “The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed”. Day 154 is a season to dwell in the garden God had planted; to enjoy the finished work. 

Day 154 is not a season of laboring but a season of receiving fruits from labors. Song of Songs 8:11-12 says, “Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon; He leased the vineyard to keepers; Everyone was to bring for its fruit A thousand silver coins. My own vineyard is before me. You, O Solomon, may have a thousand, And those who tend its fruit two hundred”. This is the season for the Lord to receive His due and pleasure from His people. There is no discussion of work in this section of the book; it’s all talk about family, home, and love. The Shulamite speaks about his brother and mother; and the brothers speak about their little sister and marriage. It’s all reflection, imagination, wishes, and dreams. Day 154 is not for projects but for people; it is not for fields but for fellowship and families; it is not for lands but for love. I pray your Day 154 is a truly blessed day.

Day 154 is a seventh book of the Bible day in the 22nd week. It is a unique seventh-day season. It is the end of an end-point. Day 154 is the seventh day in the 22nd week. Both the seventh and the 22nd are Hebrew end-points. There are so many issues in the 7th book of the Bible; but the ook is named JUDGES because the issue of intervention stands out in the book. Day a154 is a day of intervention. It is also a 7th chapters of the Bible day. Many seventh chapters of the Bible breathe intervention. Noah’s Ark saved lives in the 7th chapter of Genesis. Elisha intervened in Second Kings 7. Jesus intervened in the seventh chapters of Mark and Luke. This is a day of intervention.

Day 154 is a Hebrews – Revelation day in the 22nd 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. T 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. May this seventh day of the week be a season of recovery 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 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”. It is a day to enter into rest through faith. 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. Have a happy 154th day!

Day 153: The Mystery of June 2

Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

  1. 1. June 2 (Clear year); June 1 (Leap year).

2. The sixth day of the 22nd Week (May 28 – June 3 in a Clear year/ May 27 – June 2 in a Leap year)

3. The sixth day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 – July 15).

4. The 153rd day of the year (from January 1). In this article, this day will be called Day 153.

5. A sixth-season day because it is the 6th day of the 22nd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

1. The 6th day of creation (Genesis 1: 24-31)

2. Songs of Solomon 7

3. The 6th book of the Bible (Joshua)

4. The second 9 books of the New Testament.

Day 153 is a sixth day of creation season. It’s a day to reenact what God did on the sixth day of creation. On the sixth day of creation, God made man in His image and after His likeness. In the sixth season, God seeks His image and likeness in men. In Genesis 22, Abraham manifested his God-likeness when he gave up his only son as sacrifice to God. That act of devotion illustrates what is recorded about God in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”.

On the sixth day, also, God blessed man with fruitfulness and dominion. Genesis 1:28 says, “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” In Genesis 22:17, God blessed Abraham saying, “…blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies”. 

The same chapter also records fruitfulness in Abraham’s extended family. Genesis 22:20-24 says, “Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: [21] Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, [22] Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” [23] And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. [24] His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah”.

The key to triumph in the sixth season is guidance. God guided man to his food on the sixth day of creation. Genesis 1:29 says, “And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food”. God provides in the sixth season. In Genesis 22, He provided a lamb for sacrifice and led Abraham to see it.

It is interesting that, in John 21, Jesus helped seven of his disciples, led by Peter, to catch 153 fish. The Holy Spirit thought it important to tell us the number of fish they caught. It is not just about the fish but also about the significance of the number 153. When the 153rd fish entered their net, it was a loud but unheard statement of victory and dominion. The 153rd is the sixth of the 22nd seven. It stands for ‘dominion’ and “victory”. This 153rd day is a day to walk in dominion. It is the capping point of the labors of the 22nd week. This sixth day of the 22nd week will end with triumph for you. 

Day 153 is a Song of Songs chapter 7 season.. After the ninth verse of the seventh chapter, the Beloved did not speak again in this book (except in 8:13). He had finished his work and would enter into rest in the remaining part of the 7th and 8th chapters of the book. God made His last and most valuable creatures on the sixth day. Of the things God created, He only made man in His image. For the disciples in John 21, they drew the net only after the 153rd fish must have entered. We no longer read about them and fishing. They entered into rest from fishing. The 153rd is the end of toil. In this season, may the Lord help you to do the work that would give you rest from struggles. May the best be your portion; and may you be the best (among rivals) on this day.

Day 153 is a book of Joshua day. It is also a sixth-chapters of the Bible day. Day 153 is the sixth day of the 22nd week and te sixth day of the fourth 49 days of the year. It is God’s day of war with the ungodly. In the sixth book of the Bible, God reacted against the ungodliness of the Amorites and gave their land to Israel. God passed a sentence of judgment against ungodly humanity in Genesis 6. Elisha prevailed against Syrian soldiers in Second Kings 6. The wicked rose against Daniel in Daniel 6 but failed. Ephesians 6 teaches us to put on the whole armor of God against unseen forces of evil. This is day of intense battle against agents of ungodliness. Ephesians 6:11-17 says, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. [13] Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, [15] and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”.

Day 153 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 22nd week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. This sixth day of the week is the second day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the second nine books of the New Testament. Today is a day to triumph in warfare through instructions. The second 9 books of the N.T are mentoring books. The pastoral epistles of Paul are in this section. This section of the Bible is for “the preparation of the man of God”.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. Today, show that your primary allegiance is to the God of Israel. You are made in the image and likeness of God. This is a day to commemorate and relive the creation of man in the image and likeness of God. Today, make your way back to the Lord. Even if you are not a backslider, you can still get closer to the goal of expressing the Lord – as His image and likeness. Today, stand out for God as His representative and look into your life, and look around, for things and areas that need to be conformed to God’s standards. Today, pray that the kingdom comes, by the word of God, to establish God’s will in your life, family, church, community, nation; and in the nations of the world. Happy 153rd day!

Day 152: The Mystery of June 1

Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

  1. 1. June 1 (Clear year); May 31 (Leap year).

2. The fifth day of the 22nd Week (May 28 – June 3 in a Clear year/ May 27 – June 2 in a Leap year)

3. The fifth day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 July 15).

4. The 152nd day of the year (from January 1). In this post, this day will be called Day 152.

5. A fifth-season day because it is the fifth day of the 22nd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

1. The fifth day of creation (Genesis 1: 20-23)

2. Songs of Solomon 6

3. The fifth book of the Bible (Deuteronomy)

4. The first 9 books of the New Testament.

1. Day 152 is a fifth day of creation season in the 22nd week. God made sea creatures and birds of the air. Flesh-creatures entered the earth on the fifth day. He called them ‘living creatures’. They were sensitive and perceptive creatures. They were not only living creatures; they were also moving creatures. There were made free to move about in their domains. So, the fifth day, is a day of life, freedom, and movement. Fifth seasons are seasons of revival. On the fifth day, God also blessed the creatures with fruitfulness and multiplication. God did not bless creation until the fifth day. The fifth season is a season of blessings, fruitfulness, and multiplication. The fifth day of the 22nd week is a day of life, freedom, movement, blessings, fruitfulness, and multiplication. In the 22nd chapter of Genesis, Abraham was not only tested; he was also blessed. Isaac also moved from death to life.

Genesis 22:15-18 says, “Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, [16] and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son- [17] blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. [18] In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

2. Day 152 is a Song of Songs chapter 6 season in the 22nd week. The sixth chapter of the 22nd book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 22nd week of the year. In the fifth chapter, the Shulamite sought for her beloved but could not find him. In the sixth chapter, the search continued. The maidens even volunteered to help. Eventually, they met. She met the one she was looking for. Her beloved praised her perfection and excellence. None of the other women in the palace (60 queens and 80 concubines) compared with her. She was “beautiful as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, and awesome like an army with banners”. The fifth season is when ‘the seeker’ meets ‘the sought after’. That is when the needy meets the Savior; and the problem meets the answer. Note that it is the Beloved that found the Shulamite and called her to return. The good news is that the One we were looking for has found us. The Savior has found the needy. The Beloved had gone to feed his flock. The fifth season is a season of sustenance. Day 152 is a day when the Lord demonstrates that He cares for His own. It is a day of feeding the flock!

3. Day 152 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the 22nd week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible; and has both the Old Testament side and the New Testament side. The first four days of the week is the Old Testament side. The remaining three days (beginning with the fifth day) is the New Testament side. The fifth day expresses the first nine books of the New Testament (Matthew – Galatians). In these nine books, we meet the One who loves and admires us beyond the expression of words. He calls us back from struggles into rest.

4. Day 152 is a fifth-chapters-of-the-Bible day in the 22nd week. The fifth chapters of the Bible reveal that the fifth season is a season of blessings, fruitfulness, healing, provisions, deliverance, and restoration of life. This is a day of change and turn-around. This is a day of good news. Today, on this fifth day of the 22nd week, you will hear the voice of blessings. Be preoccupied with the Lord today because He is incomparable.

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

Happy 152nd day!

Day 151: The Mystery of May 31

Welcome to a new day!

FIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DAY

Today Is

1. May 31(Clear year); May 30 (Leap year).

2. The fourth day of the 22nd Week (May 28 – June 3 in a Clear year/ May 27 – June 2 in a Leap year)

3. The fourth day in fourth 7 Weeks of the year. (May 28 July 15).

4. The 151st day of the year (from January 1). In this post, this day will be called Day 151.

5. A fourth-season day because it is the fourth day of the 22nd week of the year.

FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY

There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:

1. The fourth day of creation (Genesis 1: 14-19)

2. Songs of Solomon 5

3. The fourth book of the Bible (Numbers)

5. The last 9 books of the Old Testament.

1. Day 151 is a fourth day of creation season. On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries to hold darkness back – even in the time of darkness. It was like a reinforcement of what He did on the first day of creation. The fourth season is temptation and testing season. The fourth day is examination day. Jesus’ temptations are recorded in the fourth chapters of Matthew and Luke.  Israel was tested in the wilderness in the fourth book of the Bible, Numbers. I think Abraham must have lifted his hands to slay Isaac on the fourth day of his journey – when they arrived Moriah, the mount of testing. Why do I think so? Genesis 22: 4 says it was on the third day that Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place of sacrifice AFAR OFF. That was not the day of the sacrifice. Probably they arrived on the fourth day. If Jesus spent three days and thee nights in the belly of the earth as He said he would in Matthew 12:40, and rose on the first day of the week as Matthew 28:1-7 implies, He must have given His up His life for us on the fourth day of the week. 

2. Day 151 is a book of Numbers day in the 22nd week. It is also a fourth chapters of the Bible day. The fourth book and chapters of the Bible reveal that this is a season of pressures and tests. It is a crossing-over day in the week.

3. Day 151 is Obadiah- Malachi day in the 22nd week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible; and has both an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days is the Old Testament side; and the remaining three days is the New Testament side. The fourth day of the week is the last day on the Old Testament side and expresses the last nine books of the Old Testament. Those nine books are books of judgment.

4. Day 151 is a Song of Songs chapter 5 day in the 22nd week. The fifth chapter of the 22nd book of the Bible is applicable to the fourth day of the 22nd week of the year. This chapter reveals three things about the fourth season: 

a). It is a season of strengthening relationships. Song of Songs 5:1 says, “I have come to my garden, my sister, my spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends! Drink, yes, drink deeply, O beloved ones!”

b). It is a season to guard against unnecessary excuses and spiritual insensitivity. The Shulamite suffered because she was not sensitive to respond promptly. When she got up to open the door, her beloved was gone. She had to go out to the streets to look for her beloved. The watchmen struck her, wounded her, and seized her veil. Song of Songs 5:2-8 says, “I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, “Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.” [3] I have taken off my robe; How can I put it on again? I have washed my feet; How can I defile them? [4] My beloved put his hand By the latch of the door, And my heart yearned for him. [5] I arose to open for my beloved, And my hands dripped with myrrh, My fingers with liquid myrrh, On the handles of the lock. [6] I opened for my beloved, But my beloved had turned away and was gone. My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. [7] The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls Took my veil away from me. [8] I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him I am lovesick!” Spiritual insensitivity in a fifth season is costly. The creatures of the fifth day are highly sensitive and perceptive.

c). It is a season to run after the Lord. We are the Lord’s Shulamite and He is our Beloved. The daughters of Jerusalem did not understand the Shumalite’s hunger and thirst for her beloved when she requested their assistance. They asked her in verse 9, “What is your beloved More than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved More than another beloved, That you so charge us?“ She gave them a piece of her mind about her beloved. Song of Songs 5:10-16 says, “My beloved is white and ruddy, Chief among ten thousand. His head is like the finest gold; His locks are wavy, And black as a raven. His eyes are like doves By the rivers of waters, Washed with milk, And fitly set. His cheeks are like a bed of spices, Banks of scented herbs. His lips are lilies, Dripping liquid myrrh. His hands are rods of gold Set with beryl. His body is carved ivory Inlaid with sapphires. His legs are pillars of marble Set on bases of fine gold. His countenance is like Lebanon, Excellent as the cedars. His mouth is most sweet, Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, And this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!”

She spoke of ten things concerning her beloved; but on eight parts of his body:

  1. His head (lordship)

2. His locks (holiness)

3. His eyes (omniscience and omnipresence)

4. His cheeks (patience, long-standing, understanding)

5. His lips (love)

6. His hands (works) 

7. His body (completeness)

8. His legs (stability, faithfulness)

9. His countenance (beauty and perfection)

10. His mouth (words)

‘Eight’ is the number of eternity (from the beginning to a new beginning). ‘Ten’ is the number of earthly power and dominion. Her beloved was a king. The number of God’s kingdom on earth is ‘twelve’. 

Today, be alert and sensitive. You will not fall off the bridge today in the name of Jesus. Stand on the word without wavering. God’s word is light. Walk in it’s light! Be what He desires.

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 151st day!

Welcome to the 20th day of the year! Day 20 is the sixth day of the third week. Day 20 is a sixth season day. The Bible keys for understanding the 19th day are 1) the narrative of the sixth day of creation, 2) the 20th book of the Bible, 3) the 20th chapters of the Bible, and 4) the sixth four chapters of Leviticus.

Day 20 is a sixth day of creation day. On the sixth day of creation, God made two kinds of terrestrial creatures. The First was the animals that move or creep on the earth. The other one was the man He made in His image and likeness. He made man to rule over the animals – cattle, beast of the earth, and creeping things. God prepared the food of man and animals before they were made. All things were ready before man came in. He is the last but the greatest. The sixth day is a day of grace. On the sixth day, man received Great Riches At Creator’s Expense.

Day 20 is a book of Joshua day in the third week. In the sixth book of the Bible, Israel inherited hands, lands and crops, without labor – houses they did not build and fruit-trees they did not plant. They subdued the enemies of God and took over their lands. They subdued and inherited the lands through divine instruction. Day 20 is a season to go to war for what is yours from God. It is a season of battles.

Day 20 is a Leviticus 21-24 day. The sixth four chapters of the third book of the Bible are applicable to the sixth day of the third week of the year. The 21st chapter is about Regulations and Code of conduct for priests. The 22nd chapter is about Regulations concerning the Holy offerings; with acceptable and unacceptable offerings. The 23rd chapter is about the Feasts of the Lord. The 24th is about the care of the tabernacle lamps and about penalty for blasphemy.

Day 20 is a book of Proverbs day in the year and in the first 49 days of the year. Proverbs is the 20th book of the Bible; and is God’s wisdom for life. The Book of Proverbs reveals that the sixth season is a season success of through divine wisdom. Day 20 is a season to be directed by divine wisdom and principles.

Day 20 is a 20th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 20th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 20th season to be guided by principles; a season of battles and conflicts; and season to watch against the falsehood, deception, and the spirit of death. It is a season to win through wisdom and discernment.

Day 20 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the third week of the year. 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. Have a happy and tremendously fruitful 20th day!
