Welcome to the 222nd day of the Year! Day 222 is the fifth day of the 32nd week; the fifth day of the fourth week in the fifth 49 days; the 26th day in the fifth 49 days of the year. It is August 10 in a Clear Year and August 9 in a Leap Year. Day 222 is a fifth season day. It is a ‘first time’ day in the week.
The Bible patterns for understanding Day 222 are
The fifth day of creation narrative.
The 26th book and chapters of the Bible
The fifth section of the 32nd book of the Bible
Day 222 is a fifth day of creation day in the 32nd week. Sea creatures and birds of the air did not exist till the fifth day of crestion. God began the creation of flesh and blood on the fifth day; and also did not bless creation until the fifth day. It was the beginning of movement, blessings, flesh and blood creatures, voice sounds, and sensory perception. The fifth (or 26th) day is for living by the Word and the Spirit. This does not mean there are days we do not need to live by the Word and the Spirit. We need clothes all the time; but there are seasons we need more clothing than usual. The key to prospering in the fifth season is to be driven by the Word and the Spirit. It is a season to be driven by God through His Word and His Spirit.
Job 32 was a new beginning in the book of Job. Job and his three friends stopped speaking and a new Voice, Elihu, emerged. In Job 32, Elihu spoke to Job by the inspiration of the Almighty. Job 32:6-9 says, “So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said: “I am young in years, and you are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And dared not declare my opinion to you. [7] I said, ‘Age should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’ [8] But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding. [9] Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand justice”.
This is a Job 32 day in the 32nd week. It is a day of New beginnings. Elihu was the Voice preceding change in the book. He was the forerunner for God in the book. Job 32 is like the beginning of the New Testament side of Jobs story when the old voices ceased and a new Voice began to speak and covered six chapters (32-37).
Day 222 is a Jonah 3:5-10 say in the 32nd week.The fifth section of the 32nd book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the 32nd week. In the 32nd book of the Bible, Jonah eventually went to Nineveh by the Word of the Lord and by the Spirit of the Lord. The people responded positively to the Word of God.
Jonah 3:5-10 says, “So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. [6] Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. [7] And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. [8] But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. [9] Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish? [10] Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.”
When he boarded the ship to Tarshish, it was not by the Word of the Lord. After the fish vomited him, he learnt to move by the word of the Lord. When Jonah spoke to the people, they turned to God with fasting. Their fasting and repentance was a response to the Word and Spirit of God. Day 222 is a day to tune in to the frequency of the Spirit.
Day 222 is a Book of Ezekiel day in the fifth 49 days. Ezekiel is the 26th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 26th day in the fifth 59 days of the year. The 26th chapters of the Bible are also applicable to this day. The 26th book and chapters of the Bible indicate that Day 222 is a day to walk in the spirit. It is a day to listen to God and obey His Voice. Ezekiel only acted by the Word of God and by His Spirit. Isaac prospered in Genesis 26 by listening God.
Day 222 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 32nd 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.
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 32nd 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. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Happy 222nd day!
BORN ON THIS DAY? You arrived in your season for a reason. The day you were born is related to your identity and purpose. To be born on the fifth day of this week means you were born to bring something new to the table. You are like Elihu in the book of Job. You are new voice and you have a new perspective. You are a light-giver with a new light. You were born to help people see the other side of things. You are not a traditionalist and shouldn’t be. You were born to think differently. You were born to give a deeper (spiritual) interpretation to things. If you pay attention to building up your spirit above your flesh, you will do well. You will be like Ezekiel in the 26th book of the Bible. This does mean you should harm your flesh to build your spirit. It means you should let your spirit have ascendancy over your flesh in the decisions and choices you make. Today, give thanks to God for your life and celebrate the grace that made you different to make a difference in life. Happy birthday!
