May 20, 2020

Welcome to the 129th day of the year! Day 129 is the third day of the nineteenth week. It is the third day of the fifth week in the third 49 days. It is the 31st day in the third 49 days of the year. The key Bible patterns for understanding Day 128 are the third day of creation narratives, Psalm 129, the third 21 chapters (43-63) of the nineteenth book of the Bible, the 31st book and chapters of the Bible.

Day 129 is a third day of creation day in the 19th week. On the third day of creation, God separated the waters and the dry ground; and set the dry ground apart for fruitfulness and productivity. The third season is a season of deliverance through separation and promotion. Day 129 is a day of deliverances. It is so because the enemy intends it to be a day of destructions.

Day 129 is Ecclesiastes – Amos day in the 19th week. Every week is like a mandatory journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days constitute the OT side expressing the 39 books of the OT. The last three days is the New Testament side expressing the 27 books of the NT. The third day of the week has guiding light in the third ten books of the OT and the Bible. The third ten books of the Bible include the prophetic books – Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, and Amos. This indicates that Day 129 is a day to listen to God, receive His word, and declare the Sam.

Day 129 is a Psalm 45-66 day in the 19th week. The third 21 chapters of the nineteenth book of the Bible is applicable to the third day of the nineteenth week of the year. The theme of this section of Psalms is deliverance. There are many ‘deliver me’ prayers in this section of the book. There are also testimonies of deliverance and declarations of assurance of deliverance; and the destruction of destroyers.

Day 129 is a book of Obadiah day in the third 49 days of the year. Obadiah is the 31st book of the Bible. The 31st book and chapters of the Bible are applicable to the 31st day in the third 49 days of the year. The thirty-first book of the Bible is Obadiah; and in the book, God promised the house of Jacob deliverance and to make them possess their possessions. The 31st book and chapters of the Bible indicate that the 31st season is an endpoint. Jacob’s 20-year sojourn with Laban ended Genesis 31. Israel killed Balaam in a war of vengeance against Midianites in Numbers 31. Moses handed over to Joshua in Deuteronomy 31. King Saul and his three sons died in battle in First Samuel 31. Job’s speech ended at the last verse of Job 31. The book of wisdom, Proverbs, ends at the 31st chapter; and that 31st chapter ends at the 31st verse. God initiated the New Covenant at the 31st verse of Jeremiah 31. The longest months end on the 31st day. The 31st season is for ending afflictions and troubles. It is for changing the narrative.

In Genesis 31, Jacob ran from the house by the word of the Lord to end his afflictions in the house of Laban. When Jacob left the house of Laban with his family and livestock, Laban went after him but the Lord would not let Laban harm him. Genesis 31:22-24 says, “And Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled. [23] Then he took his brethren with him and pursued him for seven days’ journey, and he overtook him in the mountains of Gilead. [24] But God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, “Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.” Laban sought occasion to accuse Jacob of stealing his gods. He searched Jacob and his family but found nothing – although the stolen idols were with Rachel but Jacob did not know. Genesis 31:36-40 says, “Then Jacob was angry and rebuked Laban, and Jacob answered and said to Laban: “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued me? [37] Although you have searched all my things, what part of your household things have you found? Set it here before my brethren and your brethren, that they may judge between us both! [38] These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock. [39] That which was torn by beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it. You required it from my hand, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. [40] There I was! In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes”. In Genesis 31:41-42 he said, “Thus I have been in your house twenty years; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times. [42] Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”

Day 129 is a Psalm 129 day. Psalm 129:1-3 says, “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,” Let Israel now say- [2] “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me. [3] The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.”

Psalm 129:4 says, “The LORD is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked”

Psalm 129:5-8 says, “Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back. [6] Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up, [7] With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms. [8] Neither let those who pass by them say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD!”

Lord, deliver me, today, from destructions; and separate me from my afflictions. Let my enemies be disgraced and humiliated. Let this be the beginning of a new day of peace for me.

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 129th day.

Welcome to the 128th day of the year! Day 128 is the second day of the nineteenth week. It is also the 30th day of the third 49 days. It is also the second day of the fifth week in the third 49 days. Day 128 is a second-season day. The key Bible patterns for understanding the 128th day are the second day of creation narrative, Psalm 128, and the second 21 chapters (22-42) of the nineteenth book of the Bible.

Day 128 is a second day of creation day in the 19th week. God created the firmament on the second day; to make way where there is no way; and to give breathing space. It would seem that the firmament was an answer to inaudible prayers of things waiting to exist. God heard their inaudible desperate cries for intervention. God gives help to those who fear Him or call upon Him in the second season. The fear of God is the key to blessings in the second season. Calling upon God and walking in His ways are keys that open doors in the second season.

Day 128 is a Psalm 23-44 day in the 19th week. The second 22 chapters of the 19th book are applicable to second day of the 19th week This section of Psalms is full of prayers and confident declarations of faith. “The Lord is my Shepherd “; “The Lord is my Light and Salvation”; “O taste and see that the Lord is good”. In this section of the book of Psalms, the Lord is shown to be a Good and Trusted Helper. Day 128 is a day of blessings and benefits for those who fear and love God. The enemy would want it to be a time to harm those who fear the Lord. He wants it to be day of curses coming on God’s people by leading them away from the fear of God.

Day 128 is First kings – Proverbs day in the 19th week. Every week is a journey through the Bible. The first four days is the Old Testament part. The last three days is the New Testament side. The second day of the week expresses the second ten books of the Bible. In those ten books, Israel went through the test of loyalty to God. Israel prospered, declined spiritually, divided, went into captivity, and returned. The last three poetic books depict Israel’s experiences in songs, proverbs, and parallel narratives like Job’s. Loyalty to God and dependence on His wisdom and power are the keys to success in a second season like Day 128.

Day 128 is a book of Amos day in the third 49 days of the year. The book of Amos is the 30th book of Bible; and is applicable to the 30th day in the third 49 days. Amos is often called a prophet of doom because he spoke of God’s judgment against oppressive leaders in Israel and other nations. God reacts against oppression in the second season – especially when there is an outcry against oppression.

Day 128 is a Psalm 128 day. Psalm 128:1, 4 says, “Blessed is every one who FEARS THE LORD, Who WALKS IN HIS WAYS. [4] Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who FEARS THE LORD”.

THE BLESSINGS OF THOSE WHO FEAR GOD AND WALK IN HIS WAYS

1. You will eat the fruit of your labors

2. You shall be happy

3. It shall be well with you

Psalm 128:2 says, “When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you”

4. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house. Fruitfulness is a blessing of the second season. A man is blessed when his wife is fruitful and productive. A wife is a second season helper. The story of Eve’s creation is recorded in Genesis 2. A woman’s blessing is to be a blessing to her husband. When a wife gives children to her husband, she also becomes a mother. When the wife of a man who fears God is not productive in the second season, the man should appeal to God. Jacob had great blessings of reproduction in Genesis 30. Even Rachel, his wife, was healed of barrenness and Joseph was born. Jacob had seven sons and one daughter in Genesis 30. Even his livestock multiplied greatly. Day 128 is a 30th season day; because it is the 30th day in the third 49 days of the year.

Psalm 128:3 says, “Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table”

SECOND SEASON BLESSINGS AND PRAYERS FOR THE MAN WHO FEARS GOD AND WALKS IN HIS WAYS

Psalm 128:5-6 says, “The LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children’s children. peace be upon Israel!”

Today, all doors of fruitfulness and productivity are opened to you – in family life, in business, in physical strength, and in spirituality. Speak and pray the Psalm 128 blessings over people and over yourself.

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 128th day!

The Mystery of the Twelfth Month

Welcome to the 12th month of the year. The 12th month is the 31-day season following the 11th month. In the popular calendar, this is the month of December. In the Hebrew calendar, the 12th month is the 30-day month of Adar that runs between February and March. The Hebrew months that fall into the 12th month of tDecember are Kislev (the 9th month) and Tevet (the 10th month). Nations, states, organizations, families, and individuals are to count their 12th months from the day of their birth. All 12th months have common characteristics. Biblical patterns for understanding the 12th month are the fifth day of creation narrative, the 12th book and 12th chapters of the Bible, and Bible passages mentioning the 12th month.

A, The 12th month is a fifth day of creation season. This is so because the 12th is the fifth in the second-seven. The 12th month is a fifth-season month. God began the creation of living-moving creatures on the fifth day. He made sea creatures and birds of the air on that day. He made them to express life to the full. They could move; and were also equipped with senses to perceive their environments, and with organs to reproduce their kinds, and make voice sounds, Since God made those creatures to express life to the full, the adversary wants to hinder full expression of life. He fights creation with barrenness, destruction, and death. Instead of enjoying God’s blessings, He wants creation to groan with curses. As new things began on the fifth day of creation, the 12th month is a month of positive.

B. The 12th month is a Book of Second Kings season. The book of Second Kings is the 12th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 12th month of the year. The prophets, Elijah and Elisha dominated half of this book both to kill and to save lives by the word of the Lord and in the name of the Lord. The 12th month is a season of shifting from Elijah to Elisha. It is a month of shifting from destruction to deliverance. The ministry of Elisha was one of help and succour to the needy and distressed. May the Lord send you a helper like Elijah and may He , also, use you to help you to help people around you as He used Elisha in the 12th book of the Bible.The 12th month is both a month of destruction and a month of intervention. It is a month of mercy and a month of judgment. Elijah departed the earth by a chariot of fire in this book and without dying. Elisha performed several miracles of intervention. This book breathes with the power of God. In this book, Jehu was anointed king to execute God’s word against the house of Ahab. The house of Ahab came to an end in this book. This books ends with captivity of the two kingdoms of Israel. The 12th month is an end-time for the wicked and rebellious.

C. The 12th month is a 12th-Chapters of the Bible season. The 12th chapters of the Bible indicate that the 12th season is a season of judgment. In Genesis 12, “the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife”. In Exodus, God killed the firstborn of Egyptians in the Passover. In Numbers 12, God plagued Miriam for speaking against Moses. In 2nd Samuel 12, Nathan pronounced judgment on David for the sin against Uriah and David’s son through Bathsheba died. Daniel 12 is about the judgment of the end-time. In Acts 12, Herod was eaten by worms and died.

THE 12TH’ IS DEPARTURE POINT

The 12th book and chapters of the Bible reveal that ‘the 12th’ is departure point.

1. In Genesis 12, Abraham moved from his native land to the land of promise.

2. In Exodus 12, the Passover occurred and Israel moved from Egypt.

3. In First Samuel 12, Samuel gave his farewell speech to Israel and retired.

4. In First Kings 12, Israel became a divided Kingdom as ten tribes separated from the House of David.

5. In Second Kings, the 12th book of the Bible, Elijah departed the earth by a chariot of fire; and Elisha stepped in with a kind of ministry unheard-of in the land. Change came to Israel and there was also a departure from the dominion of the House of Ahab.

6. In Acts 12, Peter exited Herod’s prison; and that is the last active mention of Herod in the New Testament. Herod died in Acts 12.

7. In Revelation 12, the man-child was taken up to heaven.

LESSONS FROM ISRAEL

Jacob did not have another son after the 12th.

Jesus did not add another inner disciple after the 12th.

THE APPLICATION OF THE 12TH TO SHITS IN NIGERIA

1. On April 2, 1972, in the 12th year of our independence, Nigeria changed to left-hand-drive. Nine months later, we changed currency from Pound and Pence to Naira and Kobo.

2. Nigeria moved from military rule to democracy when the 12th national leader, Olusegun Obasanjo, emerged.

3. On the 12th day of the 12th month of 1991 (the year beginning the 12th seven years of the amalgamation of Nigeria), Nigeria’s Capital moved effectively from Lagos to Abuja.

4. The 2023 general elections be Nigeria’s 12th national election (from 1959). It marked a departure in many ways.

LESSONS FROM THE CLOCK AND CALENDAR

1. The clock teaches that the change from morning to afternoon, and from night to morning happens at 12 o’ clock.

2. The yearly calendar teaches the same thing: The year changes after the 31st day of the 12th month. Change happens at the convergence of ‘the 12th’ and ‘the 31st’.

D. The 12th month is a season expressing the Book of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and First and Second Thessalonians. The 12th month is a season expressing the Book of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and First and Second Thessalonians. The 12 month comprises the 48th week (2 days), the 49th week, the 50th week, the 51st week, the 52nd week, and the last day of the year. The 48th week is a Book of Galatians week. The 49th week is a book of Ephesians week. The 50th week is a book of Philippians week. The 51st week is a book of Colossians week. The 52nd week is a book of First Thessalonians week. Going through the 12th month is like journeying from Galatians to Second Thessalonians. December is a month of peace and war.

As a Galatians 6 season, the first 2 days of December is a time to reap what is sown. As a book of Ephesians season, December 3 – 9 is a season of grace and responsibility. As a book of Philippians season, December 10-16 is a time to overtake the spirit of sorrow and mourning through joy. As a book of Colossians season, December 17 – 23 is a season of the Lord’s Pre-eminence. As a book of First Thessalonians season, December 24-30 (52nd week) is a season of resurrection of hope. This is the Christmas season. The last day of the year is a book of Second Thessalonians day. It is a day of vengeance.

E. Bible passages that mention ‘the twelfth month

The Bible reveals three things about the twelfth month

1. It is the month of intervention and freedom.

2. It is the month of vengeance

3. It is the month of lamentation for the enemies of God.

1. THE MONTH OF FREEDOM

2 Kings 25:27-30: Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. [28] He spoke kindly to him, and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon. [29] So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life. [30] And as for his provisions, there was a regular ration given him by the king, a portion for each day, all the days of his life.

Jeremiah 52:31-34: Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison. [32] And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon. [33] So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life. [34] And as for his provisions, there was a regular ration given him by the king of Babylon, a portion for each day until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

2. THE MONTH OF VENGEANCE

Esther 3:5-7: When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage, Haman was filled with wrath. [6] But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus-the people of Mordecai. [7] In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

Esther 8:11-13: By these letters the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect their lives-to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women, and to plunder their possessions, [12] on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar. [13] A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

Esther 9:1-5: Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king’s command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them. [2] The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, because fear of them fell upon all people. [3] And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and all those doing the king’s work, helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them. [4] For Mordecai was great in the king’s palace, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for this man Mordecai became increasingly prominent. [5] Thus the Jews defeated all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, with slaughter and destruction, and did what they pleased with those who hated them.

3. MONTH OF LAMENTATION FOR GOD’S ENEMIES

Ezekiel 32:1-8: And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: ‘You are like a young lion among the nations, And you are like a monster in the seas, Bursting forth in your rivers, Troubling the waters with your feet, And fouling their rivers. [3] ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “I will therefore spread My net over you with a company of many people, And they will draw you up in My net. [4] Then I will leave you on the land; I will cast you out on the open fields, And cause to settle on you all the birds of the heavens. And with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth. [5] I will lay your flesh on the mountains, And fill the valleys with your carcass. [6] “I will also water the land with the flow of your blood, Even to the mountains; And the riverbeds will be full of you. [7] When I put out your light, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, And the moon shall not give her light. [8] All the bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you, And bring darkness upon your land,” Says the Lord GOD.

Welcome to the eleventh month of the year. The eleventh month is the 30-day season following the tenth month. In the Gregorian calendar, this is the month of November. In the Hebrew calendar, the eleventh month is the 30-day month of Shivat (Shebat) that runs between January and February. The Hebrew months that meet in the month of November are the 8th and 9th month (Cheshvan and Chislev). The 8th month (Heshvan or Cheshvan) begins in October and ends in November. The 9th month (Kislev or Chislev) begins November and ends December. The month of November comprises the second half of the 8th Hebrew month and the first half of the 9th Hebrew month. So, certain things the Bible reveals about the 8th and 9th Hebrew months are also applicable to the eleventh month in the Gregorian calendar.

Nations, states, organizations, families, and individuals are to count their eleventh months from the day of their birth. All eleventh months have common characteristics. Biblical patterns for understanding the eleventh month are the fourth day of creation narrative, the 11th book and chapters of the Bible, and Bible passages mentioning the 11th month.

This is your month of breaking new grounds and stepping into new realms. This month, the Lord will want you to cross familiar borders and venture into new territories. This is a month of stretching and expanding in the will of God. Make the move as the Holy Spirit leads and guides!

A, The eleventh month is a fourth day of creation season. This is so because the 11th is the fourth in the second-seven. God made the luminaries on the fourth day of creation. The fourth in every seven seasons is a fourth day of creation season. The eleventh month is the month of lights and illumination. It is a month to walk in wisdom, discretion, and discernment. It is a month of wealth. It is a month to prioritize relationships.

B. The eleventh month is a Book of First Kings season. The book of First Kings is the eleventh book of the Bible and is applicable to the eleventh month of the year. Solomon became king in the eleventh book of the Bible. God gave him wisdom and wealth and he added women. The building of the temple is recorded in the eleventh book of the Bible. The eleventh season is building – season. It is important to pray against forces that resist or oppose building. Israel experienced political and spiritual turbulence in the eleventh book of the Bible. The kingdom divided under the fourth king, Rehoboam. The Northern Kingdom, under Jeroboam, became officially idolatrous; and worsened under Ahab and Jezebel.. God began to raise prophets of confrontation like Ahijah the Shilonite, the man of God from Judah, and Elijah the Tishbite, to bring rebuke and correction. Amid the blessings of the month, you must watch against temptations to drift from purpose and principles. The eleventh chapters of the Bible indicate that the eleventh season is a season of temptations. Consider the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, the sins of David in Second Samuel 11, the failure of Solomon in First Kings 11, the fall of Athaliah in Second Kings 11, the weariness of John the Baptist in Matthew 11, or the Great Schism of the 11th century. The 11th season is a season of great falls. The Al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden, and the strong man of Libya, Muammar Ghadaffi, were both killed in 2011. In the eleventh season, the strong may be weak, and the wise may act foolishly. Be watchful.

C. The eleventh month is a season expressing the Book of Acts 13-28, Romans, First Corinthians, Second Corinthians, and Galatians. Why is it so? The eleventh month comprises the 44th week (4 days), the 45th week, the 46th week, the 47th week, and five days in the 48th week of the year. The 44th week is a Book of Acts week. Acts is the 44th book of the Bible. The 45th week is a book of Romans week because Romans is the 45th book of the Bible. The 46th week is a book of First Corinthians week. The book of First Corinthians is the 46th book of the Bible. The 47th week is a book of Second Corinthians week. The 47th book of the Bible is Second Corinthians. The 48th week is a book of Galatians week. Galatians is the 48th book of the Bible. Going through the eleventh month is like journeying from Acts 13 to Galatians 5. The eleventh month has Biblical patterns in the Pauline side of the New Testament. November is a month of new realms and levels. November is for novelties! It is a season to invade and conquer kingdoms and territories with light as Paul did. It is season to enjoy grace and freedom from yokes and burdens.

As an Acts 13-28 season, the first four days of November is a time to cross borders and venture into the deep with the assignment of the year; as Paul and his associates did so with the gospel. It is the time to take yourself and your work to another level. The missionary journeys of Paul began here. This is where Saul of Tarsus (Hebrew identity) ended and Paul (Greco-Roman identity) began. Not much is said about Peter and the other apostles from this point. The missionary journeys Paul and his team undertook in Acts 13-28 formed the foundation for all his epistles – which is about half the New Testament. So, what you do within the first four days of the eleventh month can impact, significantly, the rest of the year.

As a book of Romans season, November 5 – 11 is a season of revelations of hidden people and things. As a book of First Corinthians season, November 12-18 is a time walk in love and prioritize relationships. In this season, how much you care is greater than how much you know. As a book of Second Corinthians season, November 19 – 25 is a season the walk by faith and not by sight. It is a season to put the spiritual above the carnal and the material, and the invisible realities above appearance. As a book of Galatians season, November 26-30 (48th week) is a season to watch against negative reversions in your life. In the 48th book of the Bible,, Paul’s disciples reverted from faith to works. He wrote this book to push them back into faith. This is the season to revel in the sovereign grace of God. As the month ends, people tend to receive, by the sovereign grace of God, more than they deserve.

Going through the eleventh month is also like taking a prophetic journey from the 44th to the 48th chapters of Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. In Genesis 44-48, Joseph reunites with Benjamin his brother, introduced himself to his brothers, brings his family to Egypt for resettlement and Jacob blessed Joseph and his son’s. November is a season to cross borders in experiences. It is a season to break new grounds and move into new realms.

D. Bible passages that mention ‘the eleventh month

The Bible reveals one thing about the eleventh month:

IT IS A SEASON TO RECEIVE AND DECLARE THE WORD OF THE LORD

Deuteronomy 1:3: Now it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him as commandments to them,

Zechariah 1:7-17: On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet: [8] I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and it stood among the myrtle trees in the hollow; and behind him were horses: red, sorrel, and white. [9] Then I said, “My lord, what are these?” So the angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what they are.” [10] And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are the ones whom the LORD has sent to walk to and fro throughout the earth.” [11] So they answered the Angel of the LORD, who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked to and fro throughout the earth, and behold, all the earth is resting quietly.” [12] Then the Angel of the LORD answered and said, “O LORD of hosts, how long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You were angry these seventy years?” [13] And the LORD answered the angel who talked to me, with good and comforting words. [14] So the angel who spoke with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “I am zealous for Jerusalem And for Zion with great zeal. [15] I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease; For I was a little angry, And they helped-but with evil intent.” [16] ‘Therefore thus says the LORD: “I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it,” says the LORD of hosts, “And a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.”‘ [17] “Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The LORD will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem.”‘”

The eleventh month is a season of prophetic revelations and declarations. It is a season to declare what God had said to those have ears to hear.

THE 8TH HEBREW MONTH IS APPLICABLE

Since part of the 8th Hebrew month corresponds to the season of the 11th Gregorian calendar month, it is important to apply what the Bible says about the 8th Hebrew month to this eleventh month.

The Bible passages mentioning the 8th month reveal three things that are applicable to this month of November:

1. It is for the finishing and full completion of purposes.

2. It is for a positive or negative new beginning

3. It is revival and returning to the original blueprint

1. THE FINISHING AND FULL COMPLETION OF PURPOSES

1 Kings 6:38: “And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished IN ALL ITS DETAILS AND ACCORDING TO ALL ITS PLANS. So he was seven years in building it”.

This is a month of completing tasks that will launch you into a new beginning. What tasks will you be completing this month?

2. MONTH OF POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE NEW BEGINNING

1 Kings 12:32-33: “Jeroboam ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. And at Bethel he installed the priests of the high places which he had made. [33] So he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised in his own heart. And he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and burned incense”.

A new beginning means the end of one phase of work. End one thing before you begin another. A new beginning may also mean a departure from what used to be to what ought to be. Jeroboam made a negative new beginning in this passage. He paid dearly for it. Let this month be a month of a positive new beginning in your life.

3. MONTH OF REVIVAL AND RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL BLUEPRINT

Zechariah 1:1-4: “In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, [2] “The LORD has been very angry with your fathers. [3] Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the LORD of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the LORD of hosts. [4] “Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.”‘ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the LORD”.

The 8th month is for making a new beginning with God. It is a time to return to God. It is a month of revival. In the passage above, God told the prophet to tell the people to return to Him. The greatest new beginning one can make in the 8th month is to return to God with zeal. This is a season to separate yourself to what God had separated you for.

THE 9TH HEBREW MONTH IS ALSO APPLICABLE

The first part of the 9th Hebrew month,, Kislev, falls into the season of the 11th month in the Gregorian calendar. So, certain things the Bible reveals about the 9th month are applicable to this eleventh month.

The ‘ninth month’ is mentioned six times in the Bible; and those passages reveal three things about the ninth month:

1. It is a month of encounter with God’s word.

2. It is a month of blessings.

3. It is a month of praying and seeking God.

1. MONTH OF ENCOUNTER WITH THE WORD

Ezra 10:9-11: So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain. [10] Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel. [11] Now therefore, make confession to the LORD God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.”

Jeremiah 36:9-10: Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. [10] Then Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shap Huhan the scribe, in the upper court at the entry of the New Gate of the LORD’s house, in the hearing of all the people.

Jeremiah 36:22-23: Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him. [23] And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with the scribe’s knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

2. THE MONTH OF BLESSING

Haggai 2:10-19: On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, [11] “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Now, ask the priests concerning the law, saying, [12] “If one carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with the edge he touches bread or stew, wine or oil, or any food, will it become holy?”‘” Then the priests answered and said, “No.” [13] And Haggai said, “If one who is unclean because of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” So the priests answered and said, “It shall be unclean.” [14] Then Haggai answered and said, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before Me,’ says the LORD, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean. [15] ‘And now, carefully consider from this day forward: from before stone was laid upon stone in the temple of the LORD- [16] since those days, when one came to a heap of twenty ephahs, there were but ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty baths from the press, there were but twenty. [17] I struck you with blight and mildew and hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you did not turn to Me,’ says the LORD. [18] ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid-consider it: [19] Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you.’”

3. MONTH OF PRAYING AND SEEKING GOD

Zechariah 7:1-3: Now in the fourth year of King Darius it came to pass that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month, Chislev, [2] when the people sent Sherezer, with Regem-Melech and his men, to the house of God, to pray before the LORD, [3] and to ask the priests who were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month and fast as I have done for so many years?”

PRAYERS FOR THE 11TH MONTH

1. O Lord, deliver me from the deceptive moves of the adversary around me in this season. Deliver your people from the temptations of the eleventh season this 11th month.

2. O Lord, help me to treasure and keep the relationships you have given me in this season.

3. O Lord help me to stay humble and receive those you might send my way to bring correction into my life.

4. O Lord enable me to begin and complete the tasks of this season as Solomon completed the building of the temple in the eleventh book of the Bible. Deliver me from temptations to quit as Elijah wanted to quit the prophetic ministry in the 11th book of the Bible.

5. O Lord, guide me to cross borders, break new grounds and enter into new realms ordained for this season. Give me strength for the tasks of this month.

6. O Lord, as you stopped the construction of the tower of Babel in Genesis 11, let authorized Initiatives working against divine purposes, in this month, end in confusion.

7. O Lord, as the unprecedented is recorded in the 11th book and chapters of the Bible, let this 11th month be a season unprecedented heavenly visitations. Let what is dead or dying come back to life. Let there be supernatural supplies.

Happy 11th month of the year!

The Mystery of the Tenth Month

Welcome to the tenth month of the year. The tenth month is the 31-day season following the ninth month. In the Gregorian calendar, this is the month of October. In the Hebrew calendar, the tenth month is the 29-day month of Tebeth (teveth) that runs between December and January. The tenth month in the Gregorian calendar (October) is the meeting point between the Hebrew months Tishrei (the 7th month) and Cheshvan (the 8th month). Nations, states, organizations, families, and individuals are to count their tenth months from the day of their birth. There is no mention of ‘October’ but we have ‘tenth month’ in the Bible. All tenth months have common characteristics. Biblical patterns for understanding the tenth month are the third day of creation narrative, the 10th book and chapters of the Bible, and Bible passages mentioning the tenth month.

A, The tenth month is a third day of creation season. This is so because the tenth is the third in the second-seven. On the third of creation, the Creator commanded the waters under heaven to be gathered together in one place, commanded the dry ground to appear and also bring forth vegetation. The third day of creation was a day of breakthrough for the dry ground and vegetation. God lifted the heavy burden of waters over the dry ground and the vegetation. The dry ground and vegetation could not manifest until the waters had been moved. The tenth month therefore is for lifting heavy burdens.

B. The tenth month is a Book of Second Samuel season. The book of Second Samuel is the tenth book of the Bible and is applicable to the tenth month of the year. In the book of Second Samuel, the burden of king Saul was lifted from David. Saul and his first three sons died. David was anointed king over all Israel in this book. Like the waters that God moved on third day of creation, David subdued the nations that would not let Israel raise her head in the tenth book of the Bible. The tenth month is the season to show power. It is a season of intense spiritual warfare. The power of God is released in this season to answer prayer and accomplish great things.

The tenth chapters of the Bible also bear witness that the tenth season is a time of answers to prayers. God answered Joshua’s prayer in Joshua 10. He answered Saul in First Samuel 10. He answered Cornelius in Acts 10. Zechariah 10 says God will answer if we ask Him for rain in the time of the latter rain.

C. The tenth month is a Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts season. The tenth month comprises the 40th week (Matthew season), the 41st week (Mark season), the 42nd week (Luke season), the 43rd week (John season), and three days in the 44th week (Book of Acts season). This is a month of awesome interventions. Going through the tenth month of the year is like taking a prophetic journeying from the first chapter of Matthew to the 12th chapter of Acts. Get ready! Prayers are about to be answered and prophecies are about to be fulfilled.

The tenth month begins in the 40th week just as the New Testament begins with the 40th book of the Bible. The weeks in the tenth month express from the 40th to the 44th books of the Bible. The tenth month is the beginning of the New Testament side of the year.

The tenth month is a month of new foundation. The four gospel accounts and Acts lay foundation for the New Testament. It is a time to lay foundation for the remaining months of the year.

The tenth month is a season of good news. The gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the good news Jesus brought to the world. The tenth month is a month of experiencing the good news of Jesus Christ

.The tenth month is for the fulfillment of prophecies and the delivery of promises. The life and ministry of Jesus are a fulfillment of prophecy. Things happened in the life and ministry of Jesus to fulfill prophecy. Expect a fulfillment of promises and prophecies in this month. Expect realization of dreams and hopes.

The tenth month is a season for the release of God’s power for miracles, deliverance and salvation. In the gospel accounts and the book of book of Acts, God released His power through Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the apostles to intervene in the affairs of men. The tenth month is a season of signs and wonders through the power of God. The disciples of Jesus preached and worked miracles in the tenth chapters of Matthew and Luke.

The tenth month is the season of the Holy Spirit. In First Samuel 10, the Spirit came upon Saul. In Acts 10, the Holy Spirit came upon Cornelius and his household. This is the month of answers to prayers. God answers prayers all the time but this month is special. This month, pray as Joshua did in Joshua 10, as Daniel did in Daniel 10 and as Cornelius did in Acts 10.

The tenth month is a season of grace and mercy. Jesus came to reveal and magnify the grace and mercy of God. He didn’t come to judge, condemn or destroy sinners but to save them. Expect a multiplication of grace and mercy in this tenth month.

D. Bible passages that mention ‘the tenth month

From the passages where the tenth is mentioned, the Bible reveals five things:

1. It is the month of visibility and hope. The beginning of dreams becoming reality.

2. It is the month of resolving problems

3. It is the month of favor and realization of dreams.

4. It is the month of warfare

5. It is the month of opening the mouth for proclamations

1. THE MONTH OF VISIBILITY AND HOPE.

Genesis 8:5: And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

2. THE MONTH OF RESOLVING PROBLEMS

Ezra 10:16: Then the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of the fathers’ households, were set apart by the fathers’ households, each of them by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

3. THE MONTH OF FAVOR AND REALIZATION OF DREAMS

Esther 2:16-18: So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. [17] The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. [18] Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his officials and servants; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the generosity of a king.

4. THE MONTH OF WARFARE

Jeremiah 39:1: In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.

Jeremiah 52:4: Now it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they built a siege wall against it all around.

Ezekiel 24:1-14: Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, write down the name of the day, this very day-the king of Babylon started his siege against Jerusalem this very day. [3] And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Put on a pot, set it on, And also pour water into it. [4] Gather pieces of meat in it, Every good piece, The thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with choice cuts; [5] Take the choice of the flock. Also pile fuel bones under it, Make it boil well, And let the cuts simmer in it.” [6] ‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Woe to the bloody city, To the pot whose scum is in it, And whose scum is not gone from it! Bring it out piece by piece, On which no lot has fallen. [7] For her blood is in her midst; She set it on top of a rock; She did not pour it on the ground, To cover it with dust. [8] That it may raise up fury and take vengeance, I have set her blood on top of a rock, That it may not be covered.” [9] ‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Woe to the bloody city! I too will make the pyre great. [10] Heap on the wood, Kindle the fire; Cook the meat well, Mix in the spices, And let the cuts be burned up. [11] “Then set the pot empty on the coals, That it may become hot and its bronze may burn, That its filthiness may be melted in it, That its scum may be consumed. [12] She has grown weary with lies, And her great scum has not gone from her. Let her scum be in the fire! [13] In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed, You will not be cleansed of your filthiness anymore, Till I have caused My fury to rest upon you. [14] I, the LORD, have spoken it; It shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not hold back, Nor will I spare, Nor will I relent; According to your ways And according to your deeds They will judge you,” Says the Lord GOD.'”

Ezekiel 29:1-7: In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt. [3] Speak, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers, Who has said, ‘My River is my own; I have made it for myself.’ [4] But I will put hooks in your jaws, And cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales; I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, And all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales. [5] I will leave you in the wilderness, You and all the fish of your rivers; You shall fall on the open field; You shall not be picked up or gathered. I have given you as food To the beasts of the field And to the birds of the heavens. [6] “Then all the inhabitants of Egypt Shall know that I am the LORD, Because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. [7] When they took hold of you with the hand, You broke and tore all their shoulders; When they leaned on you, You broke and made all their backs quiver.”

5. THE MONTH OF OPENING OF THE MOUTH FOR PROCLAMATIONS

Ezekiel 33:21-22: And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, “The city has been captured!” [22] Now the hand of the LORD had been upon me the evening before the man came who had escaped. And He had opened my mouth; so when he came to me in the morning, my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.

PRAYER POINTS FOR THE TENTH MONTH

1. O Lord as the Holy Spirit opened the gate for the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in the 44th book of the Bible, as the Holy Spirit came upon Saul and turned him into another man in the tenth chapter of First Samuel, and as the Holy Spirit came upon Cornelius and his household in Acts 10, let the Holy Spirit take over the gate of this tenth month. Dear Holy Spirit, move in my life and among God’s people around the world.

2. O Lord, as you dwelt among people in the gospels, let your people experience your presence in this tenth month of the year.

3. O Lord as Jesus embodied the grace and mercy of God and demonstrated it in the gospel accounts, let this tenth month be, for me and all your people, a season of the outpouring of mercy and grace. Forgive the sins of your people

4. O Lord, you answered Joshua in the tenth chapter of Joshua, you answered David in the tenth book of the Bible, you gave rest to Mordecai in the tenth chapter of Esther, and answered Cornelius in the tenth chapter of Acts. Let this month be a season of “Your prayers have been answered” in my family and in families around the world.

5. O Lord, as Jesus went about doing good and intervening in the lives of the distressed and oppressed, intervene in my life, in my family, job, business, church, and nation. Do not let the will of man prevail in this nation and in other nations of the world.

Happy 10th month of the year!

BORN IN THIS MONTH? You were born in this month for a reason. You came in your season – when you are needed. There is a time to be born and the time of birth reveals identity and purpose. You are part of God’s solution to problems associated with the tenth month. You arrival in the tenth month indicates you are, and will be, an answer to prayer.

The Mystery of the Ninth Month

In the Gregorian calendar, the 9th month is the month of September. In the Hebrew calendar, the ninth month is the 30/29-day month of Kislev that corresponds to November/December. The month of September is the season when the month of Tishri (the 7th Hebrew month) meets the month of Elul (the sixth month) and takes over. Nations, states, organizations, families, and individuals are to count their ninth months from the day of their birth. All ninth months have common characteristics. Biblical patterns for understanding the ninth month are the second day of creation narrative, the 9th book and chapters of the Bible, and Bible passages mentioning the ninth month.

A, The ninth month is a second day of creation season. This is so because the ninth is the second in the second-seven. On the second of creation, the Creator made the firmament to divide and thwart the monopoly of the dominating waters. God created space on the second day. The dividing of the waters and the creation of space made rain and the existence of other things possible. The ninth month is for battling opposition, resistance, and barriers to life and progress. The ninth month is a season of giving room and space to people and things that have no room or space. It is a month of making way where there is no way. Those born in the ninth month are supposed to be way-makers, deliverers and change agents.

B. The 9th month is a Deuteronomy 34 – Joshua 15 season. The last two days of the 35th week and the fifth 49 days (September 1-2) is part of the ninth month. The following four weeks in the ninth month (the 36th-39th) are part of the 6th seven weeks of the year. The sixth 7 weeks of the year expresses the sixth book of the Bible (Joshua). So September 3-30 is a Joshua 1-15 season (by sharing the 24 chapters of Joshua to seven weeks).. It is a season to advance into, and take over, the Promised Land of the year. The ninth month is a time to fight to possess your possessions for the year. It is the time to cross the Jordan of the year, bring down the Jericho wall of the year and subdue the Amorites contending for your inheritance in the year. The ninth month is the time to go for outstanding promises in the year. This month, you will conquer and possess.

C. The ninth month is a Book of First Samuel season. The book of First Samuel is the ninth book of the Bible and is applicable to the ninth month of the year. In the book of First Samuel, God raised new leaders to deliver Israel from an old enemy – the Philistines. The new leaders were Samuel, Saul, and David. Israel became a monarchy in the ninth book of the Bible. The ninth book of the Bible indicates that the ninth month is a season of exploits by the Spirit and power of God. The ninth chapters of the Bible are also applicable to the ninth month. They indicate that the ninth month is a month of change. New things are expected to happen and closed doors are expected to open in this month. This is a month to overthrow evil monopolies and oppressors. Prayer is vital to breakthroughs in this season.

The ninth month is a ninth chapters of the Bible season. The ninth month is a month of change. The rainbow of peace appeared first in Genesis 9 and God said, “”…The waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh”. The Gibeonites became part of Israel in Joshua 9. Israel became a monarchy in the ninth book of the Bible. Hannah, Samuel, Saul, and David experienced turnarounds in the same book. Jehu became king in Second Kings 9. Jesus experienced transfiguration in the ninth chapters of Mark and Luke. The ninth is also a month of overthrows and rescues. In this month, God frustrates killers and delivers those appointed to death. He overthrew Abimelech in Judges 9 and overthrew Jezebel in Second Kings 9. He overturned the plans of Haman in Esther 9. He arrested Saul of Tarsus in Acts 9. He rescued David from plots of death in the ninth book of the Bible. This will be a month of change, rescue, and covenant-activation, for you!

The 9th Month is a Habakkuk 3 – Malachi 4 season. It is also a 36th – 39th chapters of the Bible season. The ninth month consists of two days in the 35th week, the entire 36th week, the 37th week, 38th week and the 39th week. The last two days of the 35th week is a Habakkuk 3 season. The 36th week is a 36th book (Zephaniah) and 36th chapters of the Bible season. The 37th week is a 37th book (Haggai) and 37th chapters of the Bible season. The 38th week is a 38th book (Zechariah) and 38th chapters of the Bible season. the 39th week is a 39th book (Malachi) and 39th chapters of the Bible season. Genesis 36-39, Exodus 36-39, Job 36-39, Psalms 36-39, Isaiah 36-39, Jeremiah 36-38 and Ezekiel 36-39 are Biblical patterns for understanding the 9th month. The 36th -39th chapters of the Bible indicate that the 9th month is a season of winning battles through prayer. It is a time to counter troubles from the House of the Lord. This is a month of victory through the house of the Lord. It is a time to engage the House of the Lord for battles. In Exodus 36-39, Bezalel and his company began the construction of the tabernacle. The sanctuary is the place to find help in the time of trouble. In Isaiah 36-39, Hezekiah and all Judah defeated Sennacherib and the spirit of death by prayer and prophetic decrees. The 9th month is the bridge to the New Testament side of the year. It ends with 39th week as the Old Testament ends with the 39th book.

C. Bible passages mentioning ‘the second month’. The ‘ninth month’ is mentioned six times in the Bible; and those passages reveal three things about the ninth month:

1. It is a month of encounter with God’s word.

2. It is a month of blessings.

3. It is a month of praying and seeking God.

1. MONTH OF ENCOUNTER WITH THE WORD

Ezra 10:9-11: So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain. [10] Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel. [11] Now therefore, make confession to the LORD God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.”

Jeremiah 36:9-10: Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. [10] Then Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shap Huhan the scribe, in the upper court at the entry of the New Gate of the LORD’s house, in the hearing of all the people.

Jeremiah 36:22-23: Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him. [23] And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with the scribe’s knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

2. THE MONTH OF BLESSING

Haggai 2:10-19: On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, [11] “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Now, ask the priests concerning the law, saying, [12] “If one carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with the edge he touches bread or stew, wine or oil, or any food, will it become holy?”‘” Then the priests answered and said, “No.” [13] And Haggai said, “If one who is unclean because of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” So the priests answered and said, “It shall be unclean.” [14] Then Haggai answered and said, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before Me,’ says the LORD, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean. [15] ‘And now, carefully consider from this day forward: from before stone was laid upon stone in the temple of the LORD- [16] since those days, when one came to a heap of twenty ephahs, there were but ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty baths from the press, there were but twenty. [17] I struck you with blight and mildew and hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you did not turn to Me,’ says the LORD. [18] ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid-consider it: [19] Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you.'”

3. MONTH OF PRAYING AND SEEKING GOD

Zechariah 7:1-3: Now in the fourth year of King Darius it came to pass that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month, Chislev, [2] when the people sent Sherezer, with Regem-Melech and his men, to the house of God, to pray before the LORD, [3] and to ask the priests who were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month and fast as I have done for so many years?”

NINE PRAYER POINTS FOR THE NINTH MONTH

1. O Lord as you made a way for Hannah, Samuel, Saul, and David, in the ninth book of the Bible, make a way for your people in this ninth month of the year.

2. O Lord, as you overthrew Abimelech in the 9th chapter of Judges, overthrew Goliath in the 9th book of the Bible, overthrew Jezebel in the 9th chapter of Second Kings, overturned the plans of Haman in the 9th chapter of Esther, and overthrew Saul of Tarsus in the 9th chapter of Acts, overthrow the enemies of your people in this ninth month of the year.

3. O Lord, as you promised to bless your obedient people in the ninth month in the book of Haggai, let this month be a month of blessing to me and to all who are returning to obey your word in this ninth month of the year.

4. O Lord, as kings began to rule Israel in the ninth book of the Bible, and as Jesus was transfigured in the ninth chapters of Mark and Luke, and as You gave the poor, blind, hungry, sick, and dead, new beginnings in the ninth chapters of the Bible, make this ninth month of the year a month of change in the nation, in the Church, and in the lives of your people.

5. O Lord, you made a covenant with Noah in Genesis 9 and gave him the Rainbow sign; David and Jonathan made a covenant in the ninth book of the Bible, and David kept the covenant in the ninth chapter of Second Samuel, let this ninth month of the year be a season of activating covenants and remembering promises in favor of your people. O Lord, remember your word to your people in this ninth month of the year.

6. O Lord, let this ninth month of the year be a month of encounter with truth for your people as in Ezra 10:9-11; Jeremiah 36:9-10, 22-23.

7. O Lord, let this ninth month be a season of escape from destruction and death as Jotham escaped death in Judges 9, as David escaped death in the ninth book of the Bible, as Jews escaped death in Esther 9, as the dead were raised in the ninth chapters of Matthew and Acts, and as the saints were sealed from harm in Revelation 9.

8. O Lord, let this month be a season of opening blind eyes. In the 9th book of the Bible, Eli was blind but Samuel was a seer. Jesus healed the blind in the 9th chapters of Matthew and John. Ananias prayed for Paul (Saul of Tarsus) to receive his sight in Acts 9.

9. O Lord, as Israel crossed the Jordan, subdued the Canaanites and possessed the Promised Land in the sixth book of the Bible, let the season of the sixth 7 weeks that falls to the 9th month be a season of triumphs and possessing possessions for your people.

REDEEM THE MONTH: God designed time to be filled with the interests and purposes of God. The biblical creation story reveals that. There was no room for evil at creation. All things were good. It was the fall of man that gave evil access to time. The Lord Jesus Christ accomplished redemption for all things affected by the fall – including time – and were called to enforce redemption on earth – including the redemption of time (Ephesians 5: 16).

So, in the name of Jesus, we loose this month from the clutches of barrenness, wickedness, death. Let this ninth month be aligned with the divine purposes of fruitfulness, multiplication and positive change.

BORN IN THIS MONTH? The Bible does not say any thing about people born in the ninth month. The ninth season is the season of monopoly breakers. The ninth book and ninth chapters of the Bible reveal that this is the season of leadership. Noah handed over to his sons in Genesis 9. Abimelech, the son Gideon, wanted to rule Israel and killed his 70 brothers. Israel began to have kings in the ninth book of the Bible. Samuel, Saul, and David emerged in the 9th book of the Bible. Saul was anointed king in the ninth chapter of the ninth book. Jehu was anointed king in the ninth chapter of Second Kings. The 9th chapter of Isaiah tells about the Prince of Peace. The Lord Jesus recruited Saul of Tarsus in the 9th chapter of Acts.

The Mystery of the Eighth Month of the Year

The eighth month is the 4-week season following the seventh month. In the Gregorian calendar, this is the 31-day month of August. In the Hebrew calendar, the eighth month is the 29/30 day month of Cheshvan. The Hebrew month that corresponds to the eighth month in the Gregorian calendar is the month of Av – the fifth month – which falls between July and August. Nations, states, organizations, families, and individuals may also count their 8th months from the day of their birth. All 8th months have common characteristics.

Biblical patterns for understanding the 8th month are the first day of creation narrative, the 8th book and chapters of the Bible, the Bible books and chapters corresponding to the weeks and days in the 8th month (Obadiah and 31st chapters, Jonah and 32nd chapters, Micah and 33rd chapters, Nahum and 34th chapters, Habakkuk and 35th chapters) and Bible passages mentioning the 8th month. The 8th month is the second month in the second half of the year.

The 8th Month is a first day of creation month. God ended His work on the seventh and last day of the creation-week. The day following the seventh day of creation (the 8th day) was the beginning of a new week. So, the 8th is a new beginning. It is the beginning of the second seven. It is a season to be guided by light. God released light against darkness on the first day of creation. Light shows the way and directs.

The 8th month is a Book of Ruth month. Going through the 8th month of the year can be like journeying through the 8th book of the Bible. It is also like journeying through the 8th chapters of the Bible. In the 8th book of the Bible, a family (man, wife and two sons) relocated from Judah to Moab because of famine. Disaster befell them at Moab. The man died leaving his wife and their two sons. The young men took Moabite wives. They also died leaving their mother and wives. When life improved back home, the mother of the house, Naomi, decided to return to Judah. Her daughters in-law moved to follow her. She discouraged them. One of her daughters in-law, Orpah, returned to her people. The other one, Ruth, insisted on following her mother in-law to Judah. So, they went together. Ruth eventually married a kinsman of Naomi’s husband named Boaz. Together, they became great grandparents of King David.

How can we apply the 8th book of the Bible to the 8th month of the year? In the 8th month, it is important to be guided by God. We should not make decisions on our own in this season. God guided Noah in Genesis 8. God guided Moses in Exodus 8. Joshua received guidance from God to defeat Ai in Joshua 8. Elisha guided the Shunemite woman in the 8th chapter of Second Kings. Israel did not not seek guidance from God in their demand for a king in First Samuel 8. The Holy Spirit directed Philip’s movements in Acts 8. The 8th month does not have to be a month of disasters and misfortunes. Perhaps, the story in the 8th book of the Bible would have read differently if Elimelech and his family began by seeking God for direction. Don’t miss divine guidance in this 8th month. Acknowledging God in the 8th month yields positive results. Disregarding God in the 8th month opens the door to woes in the 8th month. When Noah acknowledged God in the 8th chapter of Genesis, he received a blessing. Genesis 8:20-22 says, “Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. [21] And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. [22] “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.”

The 8th month is an Obadiah – Habakkuk season. Going through the 8th month of the year is like journeying from the book of Obadiah to the book of Habakkuk. It is the same as going from the 31st week to the 35th week. Obadiah is the 31st book of the Bible and is guiding light for the 31st week. Habakkuk is the 35th book of the Bible and is light for the 35th week of the year. The 8th month begins on the third day of the 31st week and ends on the fifth day of the 35th week. This is a month to pay special attention to the word of God. Do not be stubborn like Prophet Jonah in the 32nd book of the Bible. From the 31st to the 35th books of the Bible, we see that God will declare war against rebels in weeks 31-35. You do not want to rebel against God in the 8th month.

The 8th month is a Deuteronomy 11-32 season. The fifth book of the Bible is the guiding light for the fifth 7 weeks of the year (July 16 – September 2 in a clear year). In a clear year, the eighth month runs from the 17th day of the fifth 49 days to the 47th day of the fifth 49 days. The 8th month falls within the 5th seven weeks of the year and expresses a significant portion of the fifth book of the Bible. Deuteronomy 11-32 says a lot about blessings and curses. It shows that disobedience in the 8th month brings curses while obedience brings blessings. It is because of the Deuteronomy connection to the 8th month that judgmental disasters come in the 8th month. Patterns in the Bible reveal that the 8th month is associated with judgmental visitations. It is not surprising that people speak of Russia and the August Curse, or of India and the Deadly August. This is not just about India or Russia; it is a global phenomenon that history confirms. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 happened August 6-9. The disasters of the month of August is a call to return to God.

The 8th month of the year is an 8th-seven-books-of-the-Bible month. Going through the 8th month is like going through the 8th seven books of the Bible in experiences. The 8th seven books of the Bible are Philippians, Colossians, First Thessalonians, Second Thessalonians, First Timothy, Second Timothy and Titus. The 8th seven books of the Bible are mentoring books. They are books of instructions, counsel and guidance. The 8th month is a time to receive instructions humbly from the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and wise people.

BIBLE PASSAGES THAT MENTION THE EIGHTH MONTH

The Bible passages mentioning the 8th month reveal three things about the season:

1. It is for the finishing and full completion of purposes.

2. It is for a positive or negative new beginning

3. It is for revival and returning to the original blueprint

1. THE FINISHING AND FULL COMPLETION OF PURPOSES

1 Kings 6:38: “And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished IN ALL ITS DETAILS AND ACCORDING TO ALL ITS PLANS. So he was seven years in building it”.

This is a month of completing tasks that will launch you into a new beginning. What tasks will you be completing this month?

2. MONTH OF POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE NEW BEGINNING

1 Kings 12:32-33: “Jeroboam ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. And at Bethel he installed the priests of the high places which he had made. [33] So he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised in his own heart. And he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and burned incense”.

A new beginning means the end of one phase of work. End one thing before you begin another. A new beginning may also mean a departure from what used to be to what ought to be. Jeroboam made a negative new beginning in this passage. He paid dearly for it. Let this month be a month of a positive new beginning in your life.

3. MONTH OF REVIVAL AND RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL BLUEPRINT

Zechariah 1:1-4: “In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, [2] “The LORD has been very angry with your fathers. [3] Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the LORD of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the LORD of hosts. [4] “Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.”‘ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the LORD”.

The 8th month is for making a new beginning with God. It is a time to return to God. It is a month of revival. In the passage above, God told the prophet to tell the people to return to Him. The greatest new beginning one can make in the 8th month is to return to God with zeal.

PRAYERS FOR THE 8TH MONTH:

1. O Lord, help me to hear and follow the Voice of Wisdom in this 8th month of the year.

2. O Lord, delver me in this 8th month, from making decisions and moves that you have not originated or endorsed.

3. O Lord, keep me far from the disasters and destructions that come in the 8th month or season.

4. O Lord, let this month be a season of positive new beginnings in my life.

5. O Lord, use me this month to lead or call others into a positive new beginning.

6. O Lord, deliver your people from forced relocations and from becoming refugees in this 8th month.

7. O Lord, save me this month from being misplaced, displaced, or replaced unduly.

BORN IN THE 8TH MONTH? You were born for a new beginning! It could be to start what had not been or to return to what used to be. Your arrival in the eighth month was a prophetic announcement that a new beginning has come. It is also an announcement that someone who will call or lead people into a new beginning has been born. As a new-beginning-person, the key to your life is listening to God Who is the Beginning of all things. Every positive new beginning starts with Him. Your life should be one of listening to and following divine instructions. You were wired to move or make decisions by divine guidance. Your life must be built on divine wisdom because you arrived in the month of Wisdom and Counsel. See Proverbs 8: 1-36.

The Mystery of the Seventh Month

The seventh month is the 4-week season following the sixth month. In the global (Gregorian) calendar, this is the 31-day month of July. In the Hebrew calendar, the seventh month is the 30-day month of Tishri that falls September – October in the Gregorian calendar. The month of July is where Tammuz (the fourth biblical month) takes over from Sivan (the third biblical month).

Nations, states, organizations, families, and individuals may also count their seventh months from the day of their birth. All seventh months have common characteristics. Biblical patterns for understanding the seventh month are the seventh day of creation narrative, the seventh book and seventh chapters of the Bible, the Bible books and chapters corresponding to the weeks and days in the month; and Bible passages mentioning the seventh month. The seventh month opens the second half of the year. The seventh month is a special season in the year.

The seventh month is a seventh day of creation month. God did not create anything on the seventh day. Five things make the seventh day of creation very special. The first is that the account is separated from the accounts of the previous six days. The account of the first six days of creation is in Genesis 1. The account of the seventh day is in Genesis 2. The seventh is distinguished and special. Secondly, God ended His work of creation of the seventh day. The seventh season is an end-point. It is stop-time. It is finishing time. It is a season of completion and conclusion. He did not create anything on the seventh day. He made it a no-more-work day. The seventh month Isa time to say, “It is done”. “It is Finished”. Thirdly, God rested on the seventh day. He rested from work and refreshed. The seventh month is a season of resting and refreshing. The rest of the seventh is more about getting rest from troubles and afflictions than it is about sitting or lying down to sleep. Jesus healed many people on the Sabbath (seventh day). Fourthly, God blessed the seventh day. That was the first and last day He blessed. The blessing of the seventh day is also on the seventh month. Fifthly, God sanctified the seventh day. He made it holy. The seventh Hebrew month is a month of religious festivals (Leviticus 23: 23-44).

The seventh month is a Book of Judges month. Going through the seventh month of the year is like journeying through the seventh book of the Bible. The book of Judges is the seventh book of the Bible and is applicable to the seventh month of the year. In the seventh book of Judges, God often handed Israel over to her enemies because of sin. Alignment with God in the seventh season is the surest key to safety and peace in the season. In the seventh book of the Bible, God also raised Judges to deliver Israel from her enemies when they repent and cry out to Him. The seventh month is a time to secure divine intervention through repentance and prayer. In 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, God says, “When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, [14] if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”.

The sixth month is a Song of Solomon 6 – Ezekiel 43 season. Going through the sixth month of the year is like journeying from the sixth chapter of Song of Solomon to the 43rd chapter of Ezekiel. It is the same as going from the fifth day of the 22nd week to the sixth day of the 26th week. As a prophetic season, the sixth month is Isaiah – Ezekiel season. This is a month of judgment and overthrows by the word of the Lord.

The sixth month is a Numbers 27-Deuteronomy 26 season. The fourth book of the Bible is the guiding light for the fourth 7 weeks of the year. In a clear year, the sixth month runs from the fifth day of the fourth 49 days to the 34th day of the fourth 49 days. The sixth month falls within the fourth seven weeks of the year and expresses a significant portion of the fourth book of the Bible. The major events in the fourth book of the Bible happened within Numbers 5-26. They include the supply of manna, the prophesying 70 elders, the spying and rejection of the Promised Land, the rebellion of Korah and company, the vindication of Aaron, the failure of Moses, the death of Miriam and Aaron, the miracle of the bronze serpent, the defeat of Og and Sihon, the efforts of Balak and Balaam against Israel, and the second census. This means that we should watch against deception and overthrows. Most of the tests of the fourth seven weeks will come in the sixth month. This a season to be watchful. Watch your thoughts and words; watch your attitude to people and circumstances.

The seventh month of the year is a seventh-seven-books-of-the-Bible month. Going through the sixth month is like going through the sixth seven books of the Bible in experiences. The sixth seven nooks of the Bible are Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It is within the sixth seven books of the Bible that you cross from the Old Testament to the New Testament. The sixth month, therefore, is a season to cross over from the old narrative to the new. It is a month of experiencing fulfillment of promises and prophecies. It is a month of going from pain to gain, from war to peace, from judgment to grace and mercy, oppression to deliverance, from destruction to salvation, from despair to hope, from battles to miracles, and from sorrow to joy. This is a month of change of stories. It will not change from good to bad for you!

BIBLE PASSAGES THAT MENTION THE SIXTH MONTH

The Bible reveals eight things about the seventh month:

1. It is the month of settlement

2. It is season of purification and peace

3. It is a month of feasts and celebrations

4. It is a season of watchfulness

5. It is a season of completion

6. It is a season judgment on the wicked

7. It is a season of comfort

[41] You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

2 Chronicles 7:9-11

And on the eighth day they held a sacred assembly, for they observed the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. [10] On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the good that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel. [11] Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD and the king’s house; and Solomon successfully accomplished all that came into his heart to make in the house of the LORD and in his own house.

Ezra 3:1-4

And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. [2] Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. [3] Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening burnt offerings. [4] They also kept the Feast of Tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings in the number required by ordinance for each day.

4. THE MONTH OF WATCHFULNESS

2 Kings 25:22-26

Then he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over the people who remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left.

[24] And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.” [25] But it happened in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family, came with ten men and struck and killed Gedaliah, the Jews, as well as the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.

5. THE MONTH OF COMPLETION

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Hear now, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie. [16] Therefore thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the LORD.'” [17] So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

7. THE MONTH OF COMFORT

Haggai 2:1-9

In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying: [2] “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying: [3] ‘Who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, is this not in your eyes as nothing? [4] Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the LORD; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the LORD of hosts. [5] ‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’ [6] “For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; [7] and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the LORD of hosts. [8] ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts. [9] ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of hosts.”

8. A MONTH OF FASTING

Zechariah 8:18-19

Then the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, [19] “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘The fast of the fourth month, The fast of the fifth, The fast of the seventh, And the fast of the tenth, Shall be joy and gladness and cheerful feasts For the house of Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.’

The sixth month is the 4-week season following the fifth month. In the Gregorian calendar, this is the 30-day month of June. In the Hebrew religious calendar, the sixth month is the 29-day month of Elul that comes between August and September. The month of June is the meeting point between the second and third Biblical months – Iyar and Sivan.

Nations, states, organizations, families, and individuals may also count their sixth months from the day of their birth. All sixth months have common characteristics.

BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE 6TH MONTH

Biblical patterns for understanding the sixth month are the sixth day of creation narrative, the sixth book and chapters of the Bible, the Bible books and chapters corresponding to the weeks and days in the month; and Bible passages mentioning the sixth month. The sixth month completes the first half of the year

The 6th Month is a sixth day of creation month. On the sixth day of creation, God commanded the earth to bring forth land animals (beasts, cattle, and creeping things); and then He made man in His image and after His likeness. He blessed man and gave him dominion of the other living creatures. This is a month of exercising dominion in the name of the Lord. It is a season to transcend the wicked, the crafty, and the foolish. This is a month of intense spiritual warfare.

The sixth month is a Book of Joshua month. Going through the sixth month of the year is like journeying through the sixth book of the Bible. The book of Joshua is the sixth book of the Bible and is applicable to the sixth month of the year. God gave Israel the Promised Land in the book of Joshua. He gave them dominion over the seven nations of the Canaanites. The sixth month is a season to fight for your inheritance. It is a season to drive out the enemies in your Promised Land. It is the season to possess your possessions.

The sixth month is a Song of Solomon 6 – Ezekiel 43 season. Going through the sixth month of the year is like journeying from the sixth chapter of Song of Solomon to the 43rd chapter of Ezekiel. It is the same as going from the fifth day of the 22nd week to the sixth day of the 26th week. As a prophetic season, the sixth month is Isaiah – Jeremiah – Lamentations – Ezekiel season. Isaiah is the 23rd book of the Bible and relates to the 23rd week (June 4-10). Jeremiah is the 24th book of the Bible and relates to the 24th week (June 11-17). Lamentations is the 25th book of the Bible and relates to the 25th week (June 18-24). Ezekiel is the 26th book of the Bible and relates to the 26th week (June 25 – July 1). The sixth month is a month of judgment and overthrows by the word of the Lord.

The sixth month is a Numbers 5-26 season. The fourth book of the Bible is the guiding light for the fourth 7 weeks of the year (May 28 – July 15). In a clear year, the sixth month runs from the fifth day of the fourth 49 days to the 34th day of the fourth 49 days. The sixth month falls within the fourth seven weeks of the year and expresses a significant portion of the fourth book of the Bible. The major events in the fourth book of the Bible happened within Numbers 5-26. They include the supply of manna, the prophesying 70 elders, the spying and rejection of the Promised Land, the rebellion of Korah and company, the vindication of Aaron, the failure of Moses, the death of Miriam and Aaron, the miracle of the bronze serpent, the defeat of Og and Sihon, the efforts of Balak and Balaam against Israel, and the second census. This means that we should watch against deception and overthrows. Most of the tests of the fourth seven weeks will come in the sixth month. This a season to be watchful. Watch your thoughts and words; watch your attitude to people and circumstances.

The sixth month of the year is a sixth-seven-books-of-the-Bible month. Going through the sixth month is like going through the sixth seven books of the Bible in experiences. The sixth seven nooks of the Bible are Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It is within the sixth seven books of the Bible that you cross from the Old Testament to the New Testament. The sixth month, therefore, is a season to cross over from the old narrative to the new. It is a month of experiencing fulfillment of promises and prophecies. It is a month of going from pain to gain, from war to peace, from judgment to grace and mercy, from oppression to deliverance, from destruction to salvation, from despair to hope, and from sorrow to joy. This is a month of change of stories. It will not change from good to bad for you!

BIBLE PASSAGES THAT MENTION THE SIXTH MONTH

The Bible reveals four things about the sixth month:

It is for uncovering and unveiling secrets by the Spirit of God.

It is for getting to the root of problems

It is for repentance and returning to God.

It is a month of miracles and mysterious happenings.

1. THE SIXTH MONTH IS FOR THE UNCOVERING SECRETS BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD

Ezekiel 8:1-6: And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me there. [2] Then I looked, and there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire-from the appearance of His waist and downward, fire; and from His waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber. [3] He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my hair; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy. [4] And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the plain. [5] Then He said to me, “Son of man, lift your eyes now toward the north.” So I lifted my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the altar gate, was this image of jealousy in the entrance. [6] Furthermore He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations.”

2. THE SIXTH MONTH IS FOR GETTING TO ROOT OF PROBLEMS

Haggai 1:1-2, 4-6: In the second year of King Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, [2] “Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying: ‘This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the LORD’s house should be built.”‘” [4] “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” [5] Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider your ways! [6] “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”

3. THE SIXTH MONTH IS REPENTANCE AND RETURN

Haggai 1:13-15: Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, spoke the LORD’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you, says the LORD.” [14] So the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, [15] on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of King Darius.

4. THE SIXTH MONTH IS FOR MYSTERIOUS HAPPENINGS. GOD ENTERED THE WOMB OF A WOMAN IN THE SIXTH MONTH.

Luke 1:26-38: Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, [27] to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. [28] And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” [29] But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. [30] Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. [31] And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. [32] He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. [33] And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” [34] Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” [35] And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. [36] Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. [37] For with God nothing will be impossible.” [38] Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

The fifth month is the 4-week season following the fourth month. In the Gregorian calendar, this is the 31-day month of May. In the Hebrew calendar, the fifth month is the 30-day month of Av. Practically, the month of May is the meeting point between the second and third Hebrew months – Iyar and Sivan. Nations, states, organizations, families, and individuals may also count their fifth months from the day of their birth. All fifth months have common characteristics. Biblical patterns for understanding the fifth month are the fifth day of creation narrative, the fifth book and chapters of the Bible, the Bible books and chapters corresponding to the weeks and days in the month; and Bible passages mentioning the fifth month.

The 5th Month is a fifth day of creation month.

On the fifth day of creation, God made the sea creatures and birds of the air. That day was the beginning of flesh and blood, movement, voice sounds, sensory perception, and blessings in God’s creation. The fifth month is a season of new beginnings. God’s will, in this season, is for people to enjoy and express life to the full; but the evil one fights to hinder full expression of life. He throws death, disease, distress, and all manner of limiting circumstances at people in this season. He gets people to be dominated by the flesh instead of walking in the spirit. He wants the fish in them (flesh) to fly above; and bird in them (spirit) to swim beneath. This is a season to unshackle your spirit from the dominion of the flesh. This is a month of deliverance from death, disease, oppression, and scarcity.

The fifth month is a Book of Deuteronomy month.

Going through the fifth month of the year is like taking a prophetic journey through the fifth book of the Bible. The book of Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible and is applicable to the fifth month of the year. In the fifth book of the Bible (Deuteronomy), God emphasized obedience to His voice. The book opens with a review of Israel’s journey through the wilderness. God did not want Israel to forget Him when they enter the Promised Land and begin to enjoy the blessings and prosper. In the fifth book, God tied blessings to obedience and curses to disobedience. Alignment with God is key to enjoying His blessings in the fifth month. The fifth chapters of the Bible are also applicable to the fifth month.

The fifth month is a Job 7 – Song of Solomon 4 season.

Going through the fifth month of the year is like journeying from the 7th chapter of Job to the 5th chapter of Song of Solomon. It is the same as going from the 18th week to the middle of the 22nd week. The first 6 chapters of Job applies to the last day of the fourth month. The first 28 days of the fifth month (18th week, 19th week, 20th week, and 21st week) and express the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st books of the Bible (Job 7-42, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes). The last four days of the fifth month expresses the first 5 chapters of the book of Song of Solomon. So, the fifth month of the year is a season of intense spiritual warfare requiring unshakable commitment to God, absolute confidence in God, dependence on God’s wisdom and counsel, and the pursuit of the fear of God. The fifth month is a season to triumph over secret and open attacks of the enemy. It is a season to count on God for protection, deliverance, and preservation from the plans of the enemy. It is a time to battle invisible forces and unseen enemies. This month, you should take revelations seriously. Commune with God in prayer, praise, and thanksgiving; and also declare boldly your faith in God. Beware of deceivers and wicked men. Walk in wisdom. This month, the Lord will grant you victories as you engage the forces of heaven to go with you through the month.

The fifth month of the year is a fifth-seven-books-of-the-Bible month.

Going through the fifth month is like going through the fifth seven books of the Bible (Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, and Habakkuk). In these books, God’s people suffered because of rebellion against. The book sought to awaken the people to righteousness or judgment. The central theme of the fifth seven books is returning to righteousness and justice. The books are about obedience and repentance. The fifth month is a time to gain spiritual perspective concerning issues in our lives. It is a time to dig into the spiritual foundation of things happening to us or around us. It is a season to seek God concerning issues in our lives.

The fifth month is a Psalm 121 – 150 season.

The fifth month of the year consists of days 121-151 of the year and expresses the last 30 chapters of the book of Psalms. These psalms focus on God as Preserver, Merciful, Refuge (Shelter) and Praise-worthy. The fifth month is a season of triumph through God. The fifth month is a season of unshakable faith in the sufficiency of God. It is a season of declaring God’s word, praying, praising God, and giving thanks to Him.

2. It is both the end of journey and arrival time

3. It is a season when fleshly manifestation is costly

4. It is a season of uncovering and exposing evil secrets.

[39] Aaron was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.

2 Kings 25:8-10: And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. [9] He burned the house of the LORD and the king’s house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is, all the houses of the great, he burned with fire. [10] And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem all around.

[14] And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

2. THE FIFTH IS THE END OF THE JOURNEY. IT’S ARRIVAL MONTH. IT’S WELCOME MONTH.

Ezra 7:8-9: And Ezra came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. [9] On the first day of the first month he began his journey from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.

Jeremiah 1:1-3: The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

3. THE MONTH OF DANGEROUS FLESHLY MANIFESTATIONS

Jeremiah 28:1-4, 15-17: And it happened in the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, [2] “Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. [3] Within two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. [4] And I will bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon,’ says the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'” [15] Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Hear now, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie. [16] Therefore thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the LORD.'” [17] So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

4. THE FIFTH MONTH IS WHEN EVIL SECRETS ARE EXPOSED

Ezekiel 20:1-4: It came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me. [2] Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [3] “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Have you come to inquire of Me? As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will not be inquired of by you.”‘ [4] Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Then make known to them the abominations of their fathers.

5. THE FIFTH MONTH IS A MONTH OF FASTING

Zechariah 7:3-5: and to ask the priests who were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month and fast as I have done for so many years?” [4] Then the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, [5] “Say to all the people of the land, and to the priests: ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months during those seventy years, did you really fast for Me-for Me?
