Welcome to the 55th day of the year! Day 55 is the 6th day of the eighth week; and also the 6th day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 55 is a sixth-season day. The Bible patterns for understanding the 55th day are 1) the sixth day of creation narrative; 2) the 55th book of the Bible; 3) the 55th chapters of the Bible; 4) the 6th of the seven sections of Ruth (Ruth 4:1-12), the 8th book of the Bible.
Day 55 is a sixth day of creation day. God made land animals and man on the sixth day. He made man in His image and after His likeness. He made man to rule and have dominion over the other living creatures. He also made provision for man’s food in vegetation. The Creator wants all things in alignment in the sixth season. The sixth season is the ruler’s day. It is the heir’s day. It is crowning day. The sixth season is a season of conflict requiring dominion. It is a season of conflict between the image of God and non-image of God. The sixth season is a season provisions and supplies. Day 55 is a season of bringing everything to comply to the divine order; by force or voluntary submission. It is ‘the Captain’s’ day. It is the decision-maker’s day. It is the winner’s day. The sixth season is the season of ‘predators’. The sixth season is when powers clash; and when inferior power must submit, or surrender, to the superior power. The sixth season is compulsory-alignment season.
Day 55 is a Ruth 4:1-12 day. In this sixth section of the narrative, Boaz gave the right of duty to the one it belongs – a closer relative of Elimelech. Day 55 is a day to give honor to whom it is due. Boaz and the man came before ten elders (representing human government) to decide who takes over Ruth and Elimelech’s inheritance. Day 55 is a day to possess possessions. The closest relative turned down the Ruth-offer; giving Boaz the opportunity to step in. That was grace! Boaz came into something he should never have had. Day 55 is a day of possessing what you do not deserve and did not labor for. On Ruth’s side, she had to sit still as Boaz and Naomi, and wait to see the outcome of the deal.
Day 55 is a book-of-Second-Timothy day. Second Timothy, the 55th book of the Bible is Paul’s guidance to Timothy about the ‘coming’ perilous times. In this book, Paul addressed Timothy “as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”. Day 55 requires some measure of toughness and discipline from those seeking success in it. You need instructors in this season: God’s Word, the Holy Spirit, and a mentor.
Day 55 is a 55th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 55th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 55th season is a time of war against the enemies of the Lord. Psalm 55 captures the spirit of the conflict of the 55th season. Psalm 55:1-9 says, “Give ear to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my supplication. [2] Attend to me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily, [3] Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me, And in wrath they hate me. [4] My heart is severely pained within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me. [5] Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me. [6] So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. [7] Indeed, I would wander far off, And remain in the wilderness. Selah [8] I would hasten my escape From the windy storm and tempest.” [9] Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city”.
In a 55th season, the key to victory is listening to God for directions and strategy. In Isaiah 55, the Lord calls His people to listen to Him. Isaiah 55 is a call from God for attention from men. In this chapter, God tells Man what to do.I saiah 55:1-3 says, “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. [2] Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. [3] Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you- The sure mercies of David”.
Day 55 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 8th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. This sixth day of the week is the second day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the second nine books of the New Testament. Today is a day to triumph in warfare through instructions. The second 9 books of the N.T are mentoring books. The pastoral epistles of Paul are in this section. This section of the Bible is for “the preparation of the man of God”.
DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the enemies of God. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. Today, show that your primary allegiance is to the God of Israel. You are made in the image and likeness of God. This is a day to commemorate and relive the creation of man in the image and likeness of God. Today, make your way back to the Lord. Even if you are not a backslider, you can still get closer to the goal of expressing the Lord – as His image and likeness. Today, stand out for God as His representative and look into your life, and look around, for things and areas that need to be conformed to God’s standards. Today, pray that the kingdom comes, by the word of God, to establish God’s will in your life, family, church, community, nation; and in the nations of the world. Have a happy and tremendously fruitful 55th day!!
