FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY
There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:
1. The fifth day of creation (Genesis 1: 20-23)
2. Songs of Solomon 6
3. The fifth book of the Bible (Deuteronomy)
4. The first 9 books of the New Testament.
1. Day 152 is a fifth day of creation season in the 22nd week. God made sea creatures and birds of the air. Flesh-creatures entered the earth on the fifth day. He called them ‘living creatures’. They were sensitive and perceptive creatures. They were not only living creatures; they were also moving creatures. There were made free to move about in their domains. So, the fifth day, is a day of life, freedom, and movement. Fifth seasons are seasons of revival. On the fifth day, God also blessed the creatures with fruitfulness and multiplication. God did not bless creation until the fifth day. The fifth season is a season of blessings, fruitfulness, and multiplication. The fifth day of the 22nd week is a day of life, freedom, movement, blessings, fruitfulness, and multiplication. In the 22nd chapter of Genesis, Abraham was not only tested; he was also blessed. Isaac also moved from death to life.
Genesis 22:15-18 says, “Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, [16] and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son- [17] blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. [18] In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
2. Day 152 is a Song of Songs chapter 6 season in the 22nd week. The sixth chapter of the 22nd book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 22nd week of the year. In the fifth chapter, the Shulamite sought for her beloved but could not find him. In the sixth chapter, the search continued. The maidens even volunteered to help. Eventually, they met. She met the one she was looking for. Her beloved praised her perfection and excellence. None of the other women in the palace (60 queens and 80 concubines) compared with her. She was “beautiful as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, and awesome like an army with banners”. The fifth season is when ‘the seeker’ meets ‘the sought after’. That is when the needy meets the Savior; and the problem meets the answer. Note that it is the Beloved that found the Shulamite and called her to return. The good news is that the One we were looking for has found us. The Savior has found the needy. The Beloved had gone to feed his flock. The fifth season is a season of sustenance. Day 152 is a day when the Lord demonstrates that He cares for His own. It is a day of feeding the flock!
3. Day 152 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the 22nd week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible; and has both the Old Testament side and the New Testament side. The first four days of the week is the Old Testament side. The remaining three days (beginning with the fifth day) is the New Testament side. The fifth day expresses the first nine books of the New Testament (Matthew – Galatians). In these nine books, we meet the One who loves and admires us beyond the expression of words. He calls us back from struggles into rest.
4. Day 152 is a fifth-chapters-of-the-Bible day in the 22nd week. The fifth chapters of the Bible reveal that the fifth season is a season of blessings, fruitfulness, healing, provisions, deliverance, and restoration of life. This is a day of change and turn-around. This is a day of good news. Today, on this fifth day of the 22nd week, you will hear the voice of blessings. Be preoccupied with the Lord today because He is incomparable.
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.
Happy 152nd day!
