Welcome to the 211th day of the year! Day 211 is the first day of the 31st week! This is the first day of the third week in the fifth 49 days; and the fifteenth day in the fifth 49th day. Day 211 is July 30 in a clear year; and July 29 in a leap year. The basic Bible patterns for understanding the 211th day are
The first day of creation; The 15th book and 15th chapters of the Bible; and The 31st book of the Bible, Obadiah.
Day 211 is a first day of creation day in the 31st week. It is a first-season day. On the first day of creation, God did not only create light to displace darkness, He also separated (divided) the light from the darkness. A first-day season, like Day 211, is a season of conflict with darkness in which Light (God’s word) triumphs. It is a season of ending the rule of darkness. It is a day of joy. It is a day of good news. It is a day of divine intervention to end evil and discomfort.
Day 211 is a book of a book-of-Ezra day in the Firth 49 days. Ezra is the fifteenth book of the Bible; and reveals the following things about the fifteenth:
1. It is a season of the word of the Lord. Cyrus responds properly to the word of the Lord to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and to release any captives who desire to return to Jerusalem. It is not just a season of the word but a season of the written word. (Ezra 1: 1). Notice that the proclamation of Cyrus was written. If the proclamation was not written, the opposition would have succeeded in frustrating the rebuilding of the temple. ” (Ezra 6:1-12). Our strength is the written word. That is why persecution and heresies cannot stop the church.
2. It is the season of prophets and teachers of the word. Any season in which the word of the Lord is prominent is a great season for prophets. Prophets who have the word of the Lord are a great need in the season of the fifteenth. In rebuilding the temple, the prophets of God featured prominently. (Ezra 5: 1, 2). (Ezra 6:14). Prophets of restoration are needed in the season of ‘the fifteenth’ (Ezra 7:1, 3-6, 8-10).
3. It is a season of restoration: for the people, the temple, and the worship of Jehovah. It is in the fifteenth that ruins are restored. It is a new beginning.
4. It is a season of gladness and offering praises to God. (Ezra 3:10, 11 ; 6:19, 22).
5. It is a season of the emergence of new leadership. Ezra and the others mentioned in this book had not been popular until this decree of Cyrus. The fifteenth book of the Bible is named after ‘Ezra’ whose name means ‘help’. ‘Help’ – divine help is what you find in the book of Ezra.
6. It is a season of looking away from man and trusting God completely. In Genesis 15, Abraham believed the loftiest promise ever made to a man and it was counted to him for righteousness. Zerubbabel and his companions rejected the help of men in the rebuilding of the house of God.(Ezra 4:1-3). Ezra trusted God more than the king’s army: (Ezra 8: 21-23).
7. It is a season of offerings to God: Both Persians and Jews offered greatly for the rebuilding of the temple. (Ezra 8:35). There was no lack of resources for the project.
8. The fifteenth is a season of divine support. The 15th Hebrew alphabet, SAMECH means ‘to support’. God supports the weak and oppressed in ‘the fifteenth’. The Persian kings supported, greatly, the work of the Lord as shown in this fifteenth book of the Bible. (Ezra 8:36).
9. It is a season of repentance from sin. There can be no true restoration until the people of God begin to mourn for sin and separate themselves from iniquity. We cannot be at ease, smiling, when things are not right among God’s people. Ezra did not gloss over sin: (Ezra 9:1-5, 15).
10. It is a season of separating from the world and fully returning to the Lord. Repentance should be active. It makes no sense to confess sin and still remain in it. (Ezra 10:1-6). Confessing sin and forsaking it must go together.
Day 211 is a 15th chapters the Bible day. The 15th chapters of the Bible reveal that the fifth season is a new beginning. The 15th chapter was the beginning of the promise of children to Abraham. In the fifteenth chapter of Luke, the prodigal son had a new beginning. In Acts 15 the Christian Council was held in Jerusalem and ended formal admission of Gentiles into the Church. This is of recovering what was lost (Luke 15) and of rebuilding ruins.
This 15th day in the fifth 49days is part of the 31st week; so, God’s agenda for the day also corresponds to His agenda for the 31st week. The 31st book of the Bible is about making a positive new beginning. In Genesis 31, Jacob and Laban’s sons (his brothers in-law) clashed. Genesis 31:1-3 says, “Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has acquired all this wealth.” [2] And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and indeed it was not favorable toward him as before. [3] Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your family, and I will be with you.”
There are conflicts that happen and you know your time in a place is up. That was what happened to Jacob. He had been with Laban for twenty years and now had eleven sons and a daughter from four women; and also rich in livestock. He had overtaken his master in wealth. Like the covering of the night, Laban did not know when Jacob escaped to return with his family and all he had. In the same way, Jacob did not know it was Rachel who stole Laban’s household idols. Although Laban called the name of the Lord, he was an idol worshipper; and Rachel was going to bring idols into the house of Jacob. She did not understand the ideological differences between the house of Laban and the house of Jacob. Separation from Laban was not just not just the end of ‘servitude’; it was also the end of the mixture between light and darkness. The fifteenth season is for separation from mixtures. The 31st season is for separation from unholy mixtures. It is a season to be single-eyed and whole-hearted. The 31st book of the Bible has only one chapter. You must not be divided in this day and week.
Day 211 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 31st 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 first day of the week is the beginning of the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the first 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the first 10 books of the Bible, God revealed Himself as Creator and Caretaker. He chose those who aligned with His purpose for blessings; and reserved judgment for those who disregard Him. The first 10 books began with the creation and fall of the man in the image and likeness of God; and ended with the emergence of the man after God’s heart sitting on the throne of God’s choice nation. This is a day of aligning with God and becoming a man (woman) after His heart.
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 collapse and end of expressions and manifestations of darkness in your life and world. Decree that expressions of light will triumph in this first day of the 31st week. Today, make a quality decision to receive the word of the Lord and act on it without fear or doubts. Make a quality decision to walk in unconditional love. This is a day of sacrificial (tough) love. Today, take time to hear from God. Do not act without His direction. Follow what He says or shows. Although the 15th season is a time of pressures, your movements and actions in it must be guided. Do not be impulse. Let the Lord guide you. Today, be determined to separate yourself from mixtures. Pray for others who need to be separated from mixtures too. Separate from people who are not happy with you but only what to use you. Separate from people whose ideological position you do not share. Happy 211th day!
BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason. You were born on a day when lost things are recovered. You are a recovery of what was lost in your family, community, world or generation. You were born to return things to their original stage. You are a seeker of the lost – people or things. Your strength is in light from the Word of God. You are designed to see by the revelation of truth. Pray for illumination from God so can open the eyes of others. You have an Ezra anointing that needs to be activated and refreshed (Ezra 7:10).
