Welcome to the 219th day of the year! Day 219 is the 23rd day in the fifth 49 days. It is the second day of the 32nd week; the second day of the fourth week in the fifth 49 days. Day 219 is a second season day. It can also be called a 23rd season day. It is a season to thwart and break monopolies. It is August 7 in a Clear Year and August 6 in a Leap Year. The Bible patterns for understanding Day 219 are (1) the second day of creation narrative, the 23rd book and chapters of the Bible, and the second ten books of the Old Testament.
Day 219 is a second day of creation day in the 32nd week. On the second day of creation, God created the firmament to divide the dominating and inhibiting waters and give breathing space. This is a day of shaming and destroying monopolies.
Day 219 is a Book of Isaiah day in the fifth 49 days. Isaiah is the 23rd book of the Bible and is applicable to the 23rd day in the fifth 49 days of the year. Isaiah is a book of prophetic wars. Isaiah helped the kings of Judah against proud, arrogant, and oppressive kings and their nations. He was of great help to king Hezekiah especially.
He destroyed evil political monopolies by the prophetic word. The 23rd book of the Bible indicates that the 23rd day or season is a day of releasing great power. It is a day of indescribable potential. Although the 23rd book of the Bible is in the Bible, the entire Bible is also captured in the entire book. The 66 books of the Bible is captured in the 66 chapters.
On this day in 2018 in Nigeria, the Director of Security Services sent his masked officers to blockade the National Assembly and keep the staff of the National Assembly and legislators from gaining access to their place of work. He was supposed to be acting for the President Buhari administration. That was embarrassing for the government as condemnation came from all quarters. The Acting President distanced the presidency from the action of the security agents. The ruling party, APC, did the same. The DSS, Lawal Daura, was fired and replaced. The monopoly of the ruling party was cracked and thwarted. What the ruling party did backfired and made her unpopular. The ruling party shot herself in the foot. This is like what happened to Sennacherib in Second Chronicles 32. God humiliated the proud and arrogant king. He went to destroy the people of Judah; but thousands of his army ended up being destroyed in one night. When he returned home, his own children killed him. The oppressor was thwarted. His death meant breathing-space for Judah,
Day 219 is First Kings – Proverbs Day in the 32nd week. Going through any week is like taking 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. The second day of the week is the second day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the second 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the second 10 books of the Bible, God wanted the king’s of Israel to trust Him and lead the nation in the same direction. Beginning with Solomon, the kings of Israel began to patronize Idols. Idol worship became official in the northern kingdom following the split. Judah followed. Prophets rose in this season to call the nation back to God. Eventually, the two kingdom went into captivity – the north fell to Assyria; and the south to the Babylonians. The Jews did return from captivity after 70 years. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) show that loss of faith in God is prelude to the loss of all things; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph no matter what happens.
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, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy and overthrow evil controlling powers by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him. Happy 219th day!
BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a season. This is a day of prophetic warfare and prayer. You were born a fighter for the Almighty God of Israel. You came to tackle and humble proud monopolies and make a way where there’s none. You were born for the likes of Sennacherib. Do not become Sennacherib. Do not become what you were born to destroy. Do not allow pride and arrogance in your life. You were born for the stubborn and self-willed and rebellious like Jonah. Do not go the way of Jonah. Do not seek independence from the Almighty. He must be your Strength. God must be your Guide. “Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you” (Psalm 32:9). Learn to pray and seek the face of God for wisdom. It is not problems or disasters that should drive you to God. Walking with God should be your lifestyle. Give thanks to God, today, for your life and pray that He would guide you, continually, into your place in life. Happy Birthday!
