FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY
There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:
1. The sixth day of creation (Genesis 1: 24-31)
2. Jeremiah 39-45
3. The 20th book of the Bible (Proverbs)
4. The second 9 books of the New Testament (Ephesians – Philemon).
Day 167 is a sixth day of creation season – whether as the sixth day of the week or as the 20th day in the fourth 7 weeks of the year. A sixth season is the sixth in every seven. On the sixth day of creation, God perfected the creation of flesh and blood by creating man and land animals. He made man in His image and likeness; gave man his job and mandate and spoke to him about food. God blessed man with fruitfulness, multiplication and dominion.
Take note of the following concerning the sixth season:
1. The sixth season is a season of divine reaction against ungodliness. It is a season to subdue things that are in rebellion against God.
2. The sixth season is a season of fruitfulness and multiplication but the enemy makes it a season of decimation; to waste humans made in the image of God.
3. The sixth season is a season of scarcity and anxiety over food and basic necessities. God makes supernatural provisions in the sixth season.
4. The sixth season is a time to live by strictly obeying divine commands. The challenges of the season cannot be handled without the wisdom of God.
5. The wickedness of man and man’s inhumanity against man reaches its peak in the sixth season. It is a predator-prey season. Remember that God created the wild beasts of the jungles on the sixth day. Safety is a major concern in sixth seasons. Sensitivity is vital to preservation and survival.
6. Women are key players in sixth seasons; so the enemy goes after them, to recruit them, abuse them; discourage them or to destroy them. This is a season to honour and protect women.
Day 167 is a Jeremiah 39-45 season in the 24th week. The seven chapters in the sixth division of the 24th book of the Bible are applicable to the sixth day of the 24th week of the year. In this section of the book, God’s Word is vindicated. Jerusalem fell as prophesied. The fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians is recorded in the 39th chapter. Gedaliah the governor of Judah was murdered in chapter 41. He had been warned about a plot to kill him but he did not believe the intelligence report. Fear gripped people in the land and they decided to flee to Egypt but Jeremiah warned them against going to Egypt. This section of the book shows the error of rejecting divine counsel in a sixth season. Do not trivialize divine wisdom and counsel today.
Day 167 is a Ephesians – Philemon in the 24th 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 on the New Testament side of the week and expresses the second 9 books of the New Testament. The second 9 books of the NT (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, First Thessalonians, Second Thessalonians, First Timothy, Second Timothy, Titus and Philemon are books of teaching, training, and instructions. They are also about dealing with conflicts. Paul’s pastoral epistles belong to this division. Day 167 is a day of moving forward by instructions. Take fast hold of instructions.
Day 167 is a Book of Proverbs day in the fourth 7 weeks of the year.. Proverbs is the 20th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 20th day in the fourth seven weeks of the year. The Book of Proverbs is divine wisdom given to guide men through life. The 20th chapters of the Bible are also applicable. They reveal that the 20th day is a day of conflicts that favors the godly greatly. Abraham was favored in Genesis 20. Jehoshaphat and Judah were blessed in Second Chronicles 20. The 20th season is a season of war that can only be won through counsel. God gave Israel the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 as a pattern of divine guidance for people going through 20th seasons. In the choices and decisions you will make today, adhere strictly to the word of God and the counsel of the Holy Spirit.
DECREE AND DECLARE: God made man 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 are not a backslider, you can still get closer to the goal of expressing the Lord – as His image and likeness. 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. 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, decree that all who operate according to beastly nature shall be under the dominion of the godly. Pray that the operations of God’s people today shall be marked by wisdom and not foolishness or rebellion. Decree that the conflicts of this day will leave the godly richer and better.This is a day and season to heed God’s word and not turn from it to the left or right. It is a season to be sensitive and discerning. Happy 167th day.
