Welcome to the fifth day of the year. Day 5 is the third day of the first week of the year. The Bible patterns for understanding the 5th day of the year are 1) the fifth day of creation narrative; 2) the fifth book of the Bible; and 3) the fifth chapters of the books of the Bible; 4) the fifth seven books and fifth seven chapters of the Bible.
Day 5 is comparable to the fifth day of creation. The fifth day of creation was a day of new things. That was the beginning of moving creatures – fish and other sea creatures swimming in water and birds flying over the earth. That was the beginning of flesh and blood creatures. That was also the beginning of pronouncing blessings on creation. God did not bless His creation until the fifth day. He blessed the fifth day creatures with fruitfulness and multiplication. The fifth season is a season of advancements. It is a season of revival and blessings of increase and multiplication. It is a season of blessings. The fifth season is an air-sea season.
Day 5 is a book of Deuteronomy day in a book of Genesis week. Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible and guides Israel on how to avoid curses and walk in blessings by obeying God’s commandments. The book also states bluntly that curses would accompany disobedience and rebellion. A fifth season can be accompanied by judgmental disasters if people are out of alignment with God – disease, death, famine, economic depression, poverty, barrenness, defeat, loss of freedom, and terrorism.
Day 5 is a fifth-chapter-of-the-Bible day. The fifth chapters of the Bible reveal the nature of the fifth season. The fifth chapters of the Bible reveals that men have a tendency to walk in the flesh in the fifth season. Men battle scarcity, barrenness, disease, bondage, immorality, and carnality in the fifth season.
Day 5 is a Genesis 29-35 day in a book-of-Genesis week. In the fifth seven chapters of Genesis, Jacob lived with his maternal uncle, Laban, whose daughters he married. True to the season, he overcame barrenness, and gained material wealth. He had 12 sons from four women – his two wives and their maid-servants.
Day 5 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the first week of the year. 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,, organisation, and nation. Decree a change in the week and declare that today is the beginning of the New Testament side of the 33rd 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 and in the affairs of people around you. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Today, put yourself on the side of blessing by choosing obedience instead of curses by choosing disobedience.
Today, keep God’s Word to your heart. Meditate on it and obey it. Avoid the temptation to walk in the flesh. That is the key to blessings. Be ready to make progressive moves.
