FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY
There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:
1. The 6th day of creation (Genesis 1: 24-31)
2. Songs of Solomon 7
3. The 6th book of the Bible (Joshua)
4. The second 9 books of the New Testament.
Day 153 is a sixth day of creation season. It’s a day to reenact what God did on the sixth day of creation. On the sixth day of creation, God made man in His image and after His likeness. In the sixth season, God seeks His image and likeness in men. In Genesis 22, Abraham manifested his God-likeness when he gave up his only son as sacrifice to God. That act of devotion illustrates what is recorded about God in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”.
On the sixth day, also, God blessed man with fruitfulness and dominion. Genesis 1:28 says, “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” In Genesis 22:17, God blessed Abraham saying, “…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”.
The same chapter also records fruitfulness in Abraham’s extended family. Genesis 22:20-24 says, “Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: [21] Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, [22] Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” [23] And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. [24] His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah”.
The key to triumph in the sixth season is guidance. God guided man to his food on the sixth day of creation. Genesis 1:29 says, “And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food”. God provides in the sixth season. In Genesis 22, He provided a lamb for sacrifice and led Abraham to see it.
It is interesting that, in John 21, Jesus helped seven of his disciples, led by Peter, to catch 153 fish. The Holy Spirit thought it important to tell us the number of fish they caught. It is not just about the fish but also about the significance of the number 153. When the 153rd fish entered their net, it was a loud but unheard statement of victory and dominion. The 153rd is the sixth of the 22nd seven. It stands for ‘dominion’ and “victory”. This 153rd day is a day to walk in dominion. It is the capping point of the labors of the 22nd week. This sixth day of the 22nd week will end with triumph for you.
Day 153 is a Song of Songs chapter 7 season.. After the ninth verse of the seventh chapter, the Beloved did not speak again in this book (except in 8:13). He had finished his work and would enter into rest in the remaining part of the 7th and 8th chapters of the book. God made His last and most valuable creatures on the sixth day. Of the things God created, He only made man in His image. For the disciples in John 21, they drew the net only after the 153rd fish must have entered. We no longer read about them and fishing. They entered into rest from fishing. The 153rd is the end of toil. In this season, may the Lord help you to do the work that would give you rest from struggles. May the best be your portion; and may you be the best (among rivals) on this day.
Day 153 is a book of Joshua day. It is also a sixth-chapters of the Bible day. Day 153 is the sixth day of the 22nd week and te sixth day of the fourth 49 days of the year. It is God’s day of war with the ungodly. In the sixth book of the Bible, God reacted against the ungodliness of the Amorites and gave their land to Israel. God passed a sentence of judgment against ungodly humanity in Genesis 6. Elisha prevailed against Syrian soldiers in Second Kings 6. The wicked rose against Daniel in Daniel 6 but failed. Ephesians 6 teaches us to put on the whole armor of God against unseen forces of evil. This is day of intense battle against agents of ungodliness. Ephesians 6:11-17 says, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. [13] Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, [15] and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”.
Day 153 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 22nd 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. Happy 153rd day!
