Welcome to the 78th day of the year! The 78th is the beginning of the 12th seven (78-84). The 78th day is the first day of the 12th week of the year. It is also the 29th day in the second 49 days of the year; or the beginning of the fifth week of the second 7 weeks of the year. The 78th day is a first season day. It is March 19 in a clear year and March 18 in a leap year. The Bible Keys to understanding Day 78 are the first day creation-narrative, the 78th psalm, the 29th book and chapters of the Bible, and the first four chapters of Second Kings – the 12th book of the Bible.
Day 78 is a first day of creation day in the 12th week. The first day of creation was a day of light triumphing over darkness. It was the beginning of creation and making a difference. On that day, light broke the power and dominion of darkness. On that day, God separated light from darkness and gave each a name. He called the light day; and the darkness night. That day was also the beginning of time (day and night). Light signifies truth, knowledge, and godliness. Day 78 is day of light overthrowing darkness. Truth will triumph over error. Knowledge will overcome ignorance. Godliness will overthrow ungodliness. The Light of the first day of creation was a manifestation of God; because God isLight and there is no darkness in Him. Begin the first day of the12th week with God and stay in alignment with Him.
Day 78 is a Second Kings 1-4 day. Day 78 is the first day of the twelfth week and expresses the first 4 chapters of the twelfth book of the Bible. In the first chapter, Elijah interrupted the messengers of king Ahaziah whom he had sent to Ekron, the Sidonian idol, to inquire about his health. The king sent soldiers to arrest him. At the command of Elijah, fire consumed 102 of them. In the second chapter, Elisha became Elijah’s successor after the latter had been transported out the world. In the same chapter, he healed the bad water of a community and also cursed 42 children mocking him for his bald head. Two female bears mauled the children. In the third chapter, he helped king Jehoram and king Jehoshaphat defeat the Moabites. In Second Kings 4, there were five miracles: 1. Elisha delivered a widow from a burden of debt that would have taken her two sons away from her. 2. Elisha delivered an aged woman and her husband from barrenness by the word of the Lord. They had a son. 3. Later, the boy fell sick suddenly and died; but Elisha raised him from the dead. 4. Elisha delivered the sons of the prophet from food poison by neutralising the poison in the food. 5. Elisha fed one hundred men with twenty loaves of barley bread; and had some left over. Day 78 is a day of judgment and miraculous interventions. It is a day of war against darkness and the triumph of light. May the Lord overthrow the wicked and ungodly. May the Lord help the helpless.
Day 78 is the first day of the 5th week in the second 49 days of the year; or the first day of the 12th week of the year. The 5th or 12th season is for equipping a new generation. It is a season of teaching and learning to empower the next generation. It is for passing on the baton. In the fifth book of the Bible, Deuteronomy, Moses reviewed the journey-history of Israel from Egypt and intended to use it to prepare the next generation for the promised land. In that book, also, he passed on the baton to Joshua. In the 12th book of the Bible, Elijah had a school of prophets (the sons of the prophet). Elisha continued the same after he had been trained and empowered by Elijah. In the 12th book of the Bible, Elijah passed on the baton to Elisha. The 12th century was notable for progress in learning. England’s two oldest universities, Oxford and Cambridge, were founded in the 12th century.
Day 78 is a Psalm 78 day. This 72-verse psalm is about transmitting “what our fathers told us to their children”, who will in turn teach their children. It is a review or rehearsal of Israel’s walk or journey with God. Psalm 78:1-8 says, “Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. [2] I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, [3] Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. [4] We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done”. [5] For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; [6] That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, [7] That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments; [8] And may not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to 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 collapse and end of expressions and manifestations of darkness in your life and world. Decree that expressions of light will triumph in this first day of the week. Today, make a quality decision to receive the word of the Lord and act on it without fear or doubts. Make a quality decision to walk in unconditional love. This is a day of sacrificial (tough) love. Today, take time to hear from God. Do not act without His direction. Follow what He says or shows. Today, seek the Lord against disasters in the week as you come into alignment. Call upon Him for mercy.!
Happy 78th day!
