Day 60: The Mystery of February 29

Welcome to the 60th day of the year! Day 60 is the fourth day of the ninth week; and the eleventh day in the second 49 days of the week. Day 60 is a fourth-season day. This is the middle of the week. It is the bridge between the first three days and last three days of the week. It is March 1 in a Clear year and February 29 in a Leap Year. The Bible patterns for understanding the 60th day are 1) the fourth day of creation narrative; 2) the 60th book of the Bible; 3) the 60th chapters of the Bible; 4) the fourth four chapters (13-16) of First Samuel, the 9th book of the Bible.

Day 60 is a fourth day of creation day. On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries; the greater light to rule the day; and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. He made the luminaries to be for lights, to divide the day from the night, to rule over day and night, and to be for signs and for seasons. Day 60 is for the dominion of light against darkness. God made luminaries on the fought day because of the tendency for darkness to overtake men in the fourth seasons of life. Day 60 is a day to stand guard against confusion, disorderliness, or disorganization. It is a season to guard against mental darkness, deception, and foolish stumbling. Day 60 is a day to triumph through light.

Day 60 is a book-of-Numbers day in a book-of-First-Samuel week; because it the fourth day of the ninth week. Numbers is the fourth book of the Bible and First Samuel is the ninth book of the Bible. It is the ‘wilderness day’ of the ninth week. As the fourth day of the ninth week, Day 60 expresses First Samuel 16-19 (the fourth four chapters of the ninth book of the Bible). Those four chapters were chapters of testing and persecution in the life of David. In the 16th chapter, David was anointed king in his father’s house; as one that would do the will of God. An evil spirit of depression came upon Saul and David was found to play music, as palace musician, to soothe Saul’s soul. In the seventeenth chapter, David clashed with, and killed, the Philistine giant that terrorized the army of Israel. David was instrument of deliverance in this section. Jonathan and David became friends after he killed Goliath. In the the 18th chapter, overcome by jealousy, as the women praised David, sought to kill David.. He got into trouble for disregarding instructions. Day 60 is a time to overcome tests and trials. It is a season to be guided by light. It is a season to focus on the word – the light. Today, may the Lord guide you away from foolish and costly decisions. May the Lord deliver you from failing like king Saul.

Day 60 is Book of First Kings Day in the Second 49 days of the year. Day 60 is the eleventh day in the second 7 weeks of the year; and has its guiding light in the eleventh book and chapters of the Bible. The eleventh season is a season of unprecedented exploits, trials, and sometimes failure. In the eleventh book of the Bible, Israel became great under the ruler ship of Solomon. In this 11th book of the Bible, Israel also began to go down through the errors of Solomon and Jeroboam the son of Nebat. Israel divided into two kingdoms in this season because of the arrogance of Rehoboam.

Day 60 is a book-of-First-Peter day. The 60th book of the Bible, First Peter, says God has begotten us again to a LIVING HOPE according to His abundant mercy and through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The 60th book of the Bible gives hope and comfort amid suffering. Pray that the pains of the season will not distract you from the promised gains. Day 60 is a 60th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. The 60th chapters of Psalm and Isaiah reveal that the 60th season is a season of hope, promises, and assurances from God – amid trials.  On this sixtieth day, take your eyes off the darkness of the season and put them on the Lord and His promises.

Day 60 is a 60th chapters of the Bible day. In the middle of the prayers in Psalm 60, we read this: “God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth. [7] Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. [8] Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.” The 22-verse 60th chapter of Isaiah has about 60 mouth-watering, promises that give hope to the believer. The passage is full of good things God said SHALL happen; and things He said He WILL do.

Day 60 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 9th week. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week is the first Old Testament side and the last three days is the New Testament side. The last 9 books of the Old Testament is applicable to the fourth and last day in the Old Testament side of the week. The last nine books of the Old Testament constitute the bridge linking the Old Testament and the New Testament. The books of ‘the minor prophets’ are part of the last 9 books of the O.T. They are about judgment and promises of restoration. Today is a day of the dominion of the Voice of God in the nations. Let His Voice dominate in your life.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, raise your voice against wickedness and oppression wherever it is found. Prophesy! Prophesy!! Prophesy!!! Today, also pray to be more sensitive in the spirit; to pick up necessary signals that would help you triumph over the enemy and keep darkness away. Today, pray to be delivered from falling into temptation. Pray to be preoccupied with the person of God; and to be focused on His mandate and His revealed purpose for your life. Be careful to weigh every decision in light of God’s purpose for your life; and God’s purpose for the time. Today, proclaim an end to woes and declare the dawn of a new day. Today, decree that there be light-givers to keep darkness from holding sway in your life and circumstances. Today, be on your guard against depression, deception, and making foolish utterances, and unreasonable decisions. Seek counsel; and be guided by light from God’s word, revelation, and wise and godly people. Do not despise the voice of wisdom and counsel. Speak the word of God instead of your fears and feelings. Happy 60th day!
