Welcome to the 49th day of the year! Day 49 is the 7th and last day of the seventh week of the year. This is the first major ’49th’ in the year. The other major ’49th’ is the 49th week. The Bible patterns for understanding the 49th day are 1) the seventh day of creation narrative; 2) the 49th book of the Bible; 3) the 49th chapters of the Bible; 4) the seventh three chapters (19-21) of Judges, the seventh book of the Bible.
Day 49 is a seventh day of creation day in the seventh week of the year.. On the seventh day, God did not create anything; and there is no mention of ‘evening and morning’ becoming the seventh day. The seventh day is a day of rest set apart from other days. It is not a day of work. God blessed and sanctified the seventh day because He rested in it. Day 49 is a day of rest. The rest of this season is not just a do-nothing rest; but the kind of rest that comes from standing on God’s word, and the finished work, to do things. It is a season of deliverance from unrest and translation into rest. It is a season of accomplishing things by grace through faith. Day 49 is a day to enter into rest by trusting the Strength of God; and leaning on Him.
Day 49 is a Judges 19-21 day in the seventh week. The seventh three chapters of the seventh book of the Bible is applicable to the seventh day of the seventh week of the year. In Judges 19, a Levite lost his wife to gang rape. In chapter 20, war broke out between Benjamin and all Israel because of the woman that was raped to death. Benjamin was almost wiped out of Israel. In Judges 21, all Israel gathered to find a way out of losing a whole tribe from Israel. They found a way of getting wives from Israel for the surviving men of Benjamin. This seventh section is about saving Benjamin. Today, may the Lord deliver you from destruction; and from any evil plan to end your life. Day 49 is a day of redemption.
Day 49 is a book of Ephesians day. Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians is the 49th book of the Bible. This book magnifies the grace of God in Christ Jesus towards our redemption. The book shows that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessings in the heavenly places, that we are accepted in the Beloved, and that we had been chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. In God’s calendar, this is a day of redemption and ransom from death and the grave. In the evil calendar, it is a season to kill and destroy – a season to die. This 49th book says we are saved by grace through faith and not by works. All we have from God is at Christ’s expense. Day 49 is a day of salvation through grace. On 49th day of 2020, former President of the United States, Donald Trump commuted the sentence of former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevick, who was sentenced to serve 14 years on corruption and bribery charges. By the seme token, he and granted clemency to ten others including ‘junk bond king’ Michael Milken; and ex-NYPD Commissioner, Barnard Kerik.
Day 49 is a 49th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 49th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 49th season is a season to be saved, or save others, from death. Psalm 49 is about powerlessness of the rich, wealthy, and mighty, in death. The 15th verse says, “But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave….”. The death of Jacob is recorded in Genesis 49; and he died at the age of 147 (49×3). He died in a season of redemption from death. But before he died, he released the blessings of Abraham and Isaac upon his sons. He admitted them into blessings they did not labor for. In Isaiah 49, Israel boasts in God as her Redeemer; and the Lord speaks reassuringly to her of restoration to her Land. Jeremiah 49 is about the destruction and desolation of Ammon, Edum, and Elam – for the good of Israel.
Day 48 is a Hebrews – Revelation day in the 7th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week also has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The seventh day of the week is the third and last day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the third nine books of the New Testament. Today is a day of the last battle and ultimate triumph in the week. The third 9 books of the N.T are books of correction, recovery, and restoration. DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, raise a cry against wickedness; trust in the Lord, hope in Him, and take refuge in His grace and mercy. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. This is a day of “IT IS DONE”. Today, you will have pleasure by seeking the pleasure of God. Today, make it priority to honor God. Obey Him. If you missed it anywhere, repent and return to God. This is a day to go back to Bethel. On this 49th day of the year, stand tall on your redemption in Christ. Instead of bringing life to an end, may the Lord speak to you and give you visions concerning the coming years of your life. To be in the 49th season is to be in honor; but you must know it; otherwise, you would be like a beast that perishes (according to Psalm 49). The 49th season is not for locking the future; but for unlocking the future. Happy 49th day!
