Welcome to the 223rd day of the year! Day 223 is the sixth day of the 32nd week; the sixth day of the fourth week in the fifth 49 days; the 27th day in the fifth 49 days. Day 223 is a sixth season day. It is August 11 in a Clear Year and August 10 in a Leap Year. The Bible patterns for understanding Day 223 are
The sixth day of creation narrative
The sixth book and chapters of the Bible
The 27th book of the Bible
The sixth portion of the Jonah story in the 32nd book of the Bible.
Day 223 is a sixth day of creation day. On the sixth day of creation, God made land animals. On the same day, He made man (and woman) in His image and likeness. He authorized man to rule the earth and have dominion over the other creatures of the fifth and sixth days. He revealed to man the provision He had made for food in vegetation. It is a day to demonstrate allegiance to the Lord through commitment to His Word. The sixth season is when the servant of the Lord stands out. God made man in His image on the sixth day of creation. In the sixth season, God seeks His image on earth and intends the earth to be a representative platform for good. It is a season of conflict and battle to establish God’s will on earth; and in the lives of individuals. It is a season to subdue and rule anything that is not in alignment with God’s purposes. It is a season to beat down forces that rise up to rebel against the knowledge and wisdom of God. Day 223 is a day to express God. It is a season to live that God may be seen. It is a season for a man to reveal God on earth.
Day 223 is a Jonah 4:1-5 day. The sixth section of the 32nd book of the Bible is applicable to the sixth day of the 32nd week. Jonah 4:1-5 says, “But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry. [2] So he prayed to the LORD, and said, “Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm. [3] Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!” [4] Then the LORD said, “Is it right for you to be angry?” [5] So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city”.
In this section of the book, Jonah behaved unlike a man made in the image and likeness. He was displeased that Nineveh responded to the Voice of God and came into alignment with God. He was angry when God was happy and rejoicing. He wanted to die because Nineveh turned to God. He only wanted to see Nineveh destroyed. The sixth season is a time to express the Creator’s thoughts.
Day 223 is a book of Daniel day in the fifth 49 days of the year. The 27th book of the Bible, Daniel, is applicable to the 27th day of the fifth 49 days of the year! The book of Daniel can be divided into two broad parts: the first is unveiling of the God of the Hebrews to Babylonians and Medo-Persians. This section also unveils the Hebrew young men and their faith in God. They stood for their God, served the kings, solved problems for the kings, guided them, and also suffered for their faith in God. In the book of Daniel, the God of Israel demonstrated His power to protect, preserve, and prosper those who trust in Him. He showed Himself as the Giver of Knowledge and wisdom, the Author of Dreams and mysteries; and Revealer of secrets, the One who exalts the humble and abases the proud, and the Great Preserver Who ca save from every situation. The second broad section of the book of Daniel (7-12) cover the revelations of Daniel concerning Israel, the nations, and the Kingdom of God. The book of Daniel shows the God is Sovereign and will win at the end. Day 223 is the day of the sovereignty of God. This is that day in which God fights for those who trust in Him against those who disregard Him.
Day 223 is Ephesians – Philemon day in the 32nd 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. The 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. Day 223 is a day to thrive 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’re not a backslider, you can still get closer to the Lord. 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. Happy 223rd day!
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. Today, on this sixth day of the 32nd week, do not set yourself against God as Israel did in Exodus 32, as Sennacherib did in Second Chronicles 32, or as Jonah did when he ran from God in the 32nd book of the Bible. This is a day of full alignment with God. Happy 223rd day.
