FIVE BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY
There are five basic biblical patterns for this day:
1. The fifth day of creation (Genesis 1:20-23)
2. Psalm 145
3. Ecclesiastes 9 – 10
4. The 47th book of the Bible (Second Corinthians)
5. The first 9 books of the New Testament.
1. Day 145 is a fifth day of creation season. On the fifth day of creation, God made the birds of the air and sea creatures. The fifth day of creation was the beginning of flesh and blood, movement, voice sound, sensory perception, and blessings. This is a day of new beginnings. It is a day of full expression of life. On this day, the evil one throws things at people that hinder full expression of life – disease, destitution, disaster or death. This is a day to work against things that limit full expression of life. This is a day to fight for freedom, deliverance, healing, fruitfulness and abundance. Healings, deliverances and interventions are recorded in the fifth chapters of the Bible (2 Kings 5, Mark 5, John 5, Acts 5). The creatures of the fifth season move in the air or on water. They are not solid-platform creatures. The 145th season is a season of faith. It is a season to lean on the intangible and the invisible. The creatures of the fifth are creatures of balance. The 145th season is a time to emphasize balance, equity, righteousness, and justice.
The fifth season is a time of concentration on God and His word. Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Bible attests to that. The fifth (or 47th) season is a time to look beyond the material and temporal to the spiritual and eternal. The creatures of the fifth day represent spirit and flesh The birds of the air that fly above represent the spirit. The sea creatures that live under represent flesh. This is a day for the spirit to soar high above the flesh. That is the reason the fifth chapter of Galatians calls us to walk in the spirit. The fifth chapters of the Bible are supplemental guiding lights for the season.
2. Day 145 is a Psalm 145 season. Psalm 145 is about God (His person, nature, attributes, and works) – His name, His greatness, His works, His mighty acts, His majesty, His wondrous works, His awesome acts, His righteousness, His goodness, compassion, and graciousness; His kingdom, His dominion, and His hand. The fifth season is a time to be preoccupied with God and the spiritual. In the 145th psalm, the psalmist turns his heart to meditating on God and praising His name. Psalm 145 has three parts: the psalmist’s decisions concerning God; the psalmist’s motivation and thoughts about God; and the psalmist’s declarations about humanity and God.
A. THE DECISION OF THE PSALMIST CONCERNING GOD (Psalm 145: 1, 5, 21)
[1] I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. [2] Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
[5] I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works.
[21] My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD….
Day 145 (or Year 145) is a season of vows to God.
B. THE MOTIVATION OF THE PSALMIST (Psalm 145:3, 8-20)
[3] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. [8] The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. [9] The LORD is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. [10] All Your works shall praise You, O LORD, And Your saints shall bless You. [11] They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, [12] To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. [13] Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. [14] The LORD upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down. [15] The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. [16] You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. [17] The LORD is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. [18] The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. [19] He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. [20] The LORD preserves all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy.
C. THE PROPHECY OF THE PSALMIST (Psalm 145: 4, 6-7, 21)
[4] One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts..
[6] Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness.
[7] They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness.
[21] …And all flesh shall bless His holy name Forever and ever”.
3. Day 145 is Ecclesiastes 9-10 season. The fifth section of the 21st book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 21st week of the year. These chapters are about the common problems of men
4. Day 145 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 21st week. It is a day of the compassionate intervention of God. Every week is like a journey through the Bible having an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and expresses 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 fifth day of the week is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the first nine books of the New Testament. The first 9 books of the NT are about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church. The books are about the love and grace of God granting salvation and justification to humanity by faith. This is a day to enter experientially into the New Testament side of the week. It is a day of answers to prayers, fulfillment of prophecies, and delivery of promises. The New Testament side is the spiritual and deeper side. The New Testament side is the side of manifestation. The old has passed away; and the new has begun. Dreams for the week are expected to come to pass and promises should be fulfilled. Expect deliverance and divine intervention.
5. Day 145 is a 47th Book of the Bible season in the third seven weeks of the year. The 47th book of the Bible is Second Corinthians and it is applicable to the 47th day in the third 7 weeks of the year The 47th book of the Bible focuses on the spiritual side of things (We walk by faith and not by sight. We do not look at the things that are seen but the things unseen. Though our outward wears out, the inward man is renewed every day). From the 47th book of the Bible, we learn that Day 145 is a day of spiritual mindedness. Weigh all things spiritually today.
DECREE AND DECLARE: At creation, God spoke His will into each day. He made us in His image and likeness; and expects us to release His will into each day. Decree this day that the flesh will not overtake the spirit in your life, family,, organization, and nation. Decree a change in the week and declare that today is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God is with us) takes over. As a New Testament type day, decree that the love of God will overtake human error and failure. Today, submit to the spirit against the flesh. Walk in the spirit and make no room for the flesh. The fifth season is a season of giving spiritual interpretations to earthly manifestations. Today, make it your watchword to walk in the spirit and obey God’s Word. Walking in the spirit is the key to gaining all. Birds (representing the spirit) fly above and eat from the land, the sea, and the air. Today, cry out to God against oppression and for the pains in your life. Speak out also. Trust Him to intervene in your affairs and in the affairs of people around you. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Today, put yourself on the side of blessing by choosing obedience instead of curses by choosing disobedience. TODAY, keep your mind on God. Concentrate on Him and do not set your mind on earthly and material things.
Happy 145th day!
