1. The fifth day of creation narrative.(Genesis 1: 20-23)
2. The fifth book of the Bible (Deuteronomy)
3. The fifth chapters of the books of the Bible.

Day 201 is a fifth day of creation day. God made sea creatures and birds of the air on the fifth day – the sea creatures to live beneath and the birds to fly above. In the fifth season, people are either swimming beneath (in the flesh) or flying above (in the spirit) and reaping the fruits too. The fifth day of creation was a day of new beginnings:
The beginning of flesh and blood – sea creatures, birds, and flying insects.
The beginning of physical movement – on land, air, and sea
The beginning of voice sound
The beginning of blessings
The beginning of sensory perception
The beginning of sexual reproduction
The beginning of survival of the fittest (prey and predator conflicts).
Day 201 is a day of positive new beginnings for full expression of life.
Day 201 is a Joel 2:18-27 day. Joel is the 29th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 29th week – the beginning of the fifth 7 weeks of the year. In the fifth season, God gives both blessings of the flesh and of the spirit. When we fall in line with Him in the fifth season, He releases the material blessings first. Joel 2:18-27 says, “Then the LORD will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. [19] The LORD will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. [20] “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” [21] Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the LORD has done marvelous things! [22] Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. [23] Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you- The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. [24] The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. [25] “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. [26] You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. [27] Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the LORD your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame”.
Following material blessings, He also releases spiritual blessings to those who seek Him in the fifth season.
Joel 2:28-32 says, “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. [29] And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. [30] “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. [31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. [32] And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls”.
This is a day of the Spirit of God coming on flesh and blood.
Day 201 is a book of Deuteronomy day in the 29th week and in the fifth 7 weeks of the year. Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible; and is applicable to the fifth day in the fifth 7 weeks of the year. Day 201 is also a fifth chapters of the Bible day. The fifth book and fifth chapters of the Bible tie success and failure (life and death, blessings and curses, freedom and bondage, fruitfulness and barrenness) to obeying or disobeying God’s Voice. The key to prospering in the fifth season is obeying God’s word. The fifth book of the Bible bears witness that alignment with God is the key to receiving and sustaining material blessings in the fifth season.
Day 201 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 29th week. It is a time for the fulfillment of the promises pertaining to the week. 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. 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 will come to pass and promises will be fulfilled. Expect deliverance and divine intervention.
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 29th 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, also 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.
On this day in 1969, Apollo 11, the Eagle lunar landing module carrying two US astronauts Neil Amstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin landed successfully on the moon in the Sea of Tranquillity. About six and a half hours later, Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the surface of the Moon. May the blessings of this day be yours; and may the curses of the season be far away from you. Happy 201st day!
