Day 23 is a second day of creation day. On the second day of creation, God created space. When He created space, life became possible; breathing became possible; room was created for the luminaries. The birds would also have room to fly about; and a lot of work can be done under heaven. The second day was a day of help from above. The firmament (heaven) shattered and displaced the waters for the benefit of life and existence. This 23rd day, Heaven will intervene to shatter obstacles of darkness and make things possible on earth. The help of the second season is introductory work-survival help.

Living through the second day of the fourth week is like experiencing Exodus in the book of Numbers. In the book of Exodus, Israel moved from Egypt; but in Numbers, Israel moved from Sinai. In Exodus. they received help to begin the journey; in Numbers, they received help to continue the journey. In Exodus, God made a way out of Egypt; in Numbers, God made a way through the wilderness. In Exodus, God called a nation out of another nation, Egypt; in Numbers, God called out some from among His people. In Exodus, He divided Egypt to release Israel; in Numbers, he divided Israel to release the tribe of Levi. In Numbers, the tribe of Levi was separated and came out of Israel.

Day 23 is a 23rd chapters of the Bible day. It is particularly a Psalm 23 day. This is day to trust God completely – to lead the way and make a way where there is no way. Psalm 23:1-6 says, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. [3] He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. [4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. [5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. [6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever”.
Day 23 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the third 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 kings 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 kingdoms 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 in the second season; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph in the second season by the power and wisdom of God 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 against evil controlling powers and overthrow them 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.
