Welcome to the 45th day of the year! Day 45 is the third day of the seventh week of the year. This is the first major ’45th’ in the year. The other major ’45th’ is the 45th week. The Bible patterns for understanding the 45th day are 1) the second day of creation narrative; 2) the 45th book of the Bible; 3) the 45th chapters of the Bible; 4) the third three chapters (7-9) of Judges, the seventh book of the Bible.
Day 45 is a third day of creation day. On the third day of creation, God overthrew the waters; revealed and established the dry ground as a platform for the sustenance of life. The third day is a battle by the word. It is a day to push back oppression, dysfunctional systems, and overhead hindrances, to uncover hidden people and platforms. The 45th is pushing back lies and error to expose truth. It is a day of overthrow and revelation.
Day 45 is a book of Romans day. In this book, Paul wrote about the wrath of God revealed against all unrighteousness of men. He also wrote about the revelation of the righteousness which is by faith. In the 45th book, Jesus Christ is revealed as the end of seeking righteousness by the Law. In this book, through Christ, righteousness and life displaces sin and death; grace displaces Law; and faith displaces works.
Day 45 is a Judges 7-9 day. This third three chapters of Judges is about Gideon. He was the least of the least in Israel; yet, God used him, and his unarmed three hundred men, to defeat the superior army of the Midianites and deliver Israel. In the ninth chapter, after the death of Gideon, Abimelech conspired against his father’s house, killed the seventy sons of Gideon, and sought to make himself king over Israel. He was going to institute monarch in Israel before the time. “But a certain woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull” (Judges 9:53).
Day 45 is a 45th-chapters-of-the-Bible day. I will share 3 things about the mystery of the 45th season from the from the 45th chapters of the Bible; and also from the 45th book of the Bible.
1. The 45th season is the end of lies and confusion. It is a season of encounter with truth that can be enlightening, comforting, horrifying, and even embarrassing. It is a season of truths hard to believe. Hidden things are revealed in the 45th season. In Genesis 45, Joseph introduced himself to his brothers in the presence of Benjamin and dismantled 15-year old lies. In this chapter, also, Jacob began to hear the truth about his son Joseph whom they said. had been torn by wild beasts. It was a shocking revelation. The 45th book of the Bible, Romans, is a book of liberating revelations concerning the gospel. Nothing can be hidden in the 45th season. It is a season to expose all things.
2. The 45th season is a season of mercy and grace. In Genesis 45, Joesph’s brothers experienced both. Mercy took away the punishment they deserved. Grace gave them privileges they did not deserve. The 45th book of the Bible is about the justification of the unjust. It is about grace abounding much more, where sin abounds.
3. The 45th season is for the King. Kings and rulers are mentioned in all 45s of the Bible. In the 45th season, God is the Royal Majesty and Performer of all things. He does what He wants; and you can’t question Him. In Genesis 45:7-8, Joseph said, “God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. [8] So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt”. In Isaiah 45:7, God says, “I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.’ In Isaiah 45:9, He says, “Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?” In Jeremiah 45:4, the Prophet is given a word for Baruch: “Thus you shall say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Behold, what I have built I will break down, and what I have planted I will pluck up, that is, this whole land. Ezekiel 45:9 says, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Enough, O princes of Israel! Remove violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness, and stop dispossessing My people,” says the Lord GOD. The 45th book, Romans 9:20 says, “But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”
Day 45 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the seventh 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 third day of the week is the third day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the third 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the third 10 books of the Bible, God sent His prophets to speak to the people. They confronted the people, warned them against judgment, comforted the faithful, and brought judgment on the arrogant. The third day is for the overthrow of the rebellious and establishment of the humble and just. How you fare in this season depends on your attitude and response to the word of God. This is a day of prophetic confrontation and judgment.
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. This is a day of manifestation. Do not be afraid to take a stand for the Lord. It is a season to come out of hiding and obscurity. It is a day to overthrow oppression and the oppressor. It is a day to establish the humble. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, be ready to hear His voice and respond by faith. Expect breakthrough. Be willing to sacrifice. Walk by faith! This is a day of breakthrough and pushing through barriers in the week. This is a day of unveiling. It is a day of answers to prayers. Today, pray for the overthrow of dysfunctional systems in the nations and in the church. Pray that God will make a way for the manifestation of hidden platforms and producers. Pray also that the forgotten functional people and things be remembered, recognized, and restored. Today, remember that when God delivers and manifests, it is for service and production. Do not consume His mercy on your lust. On this third day of the week, the oppressor will go down and the humble shall be delivered. On this 45th day, may the lies of your visible and invisible enemies be uncovered and buried forever; may the TRUTH of your identity in Christ rise above every lie of the devil; may grace and mercy be your covering; and also flow from you; may the irresistible power of the Sovereign Lord work wonders for you today. Happy 45th day.
