FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY
There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:
1. The first day of creation (Genesis 1: 1-5)
2. Lamentations 1:1-22
3. The 22nd book of the Bible (Song of Solomon)
4. The first 10 books of the Old Testament (Genesis – 2 Samuel).
Day 169 is a first day of creation day in the 25th week. On the first day of creation, God called light into existence to dispel the prevailing darkness. On that day,God also divided the light from the darkness. He called the light day; and called the darkness night. The first day of the 25th week is a time to choose darkness or light. It is a time to run with the truth or error. It is a time to live for God or self. How we end up in this season is a matter of what we stand for – God or self; darkness or light. God’s will for you in a first-season day is alignment with light. He reacts with displeasure to those who choose darkness instead of light.
Day 169 is a 22nd book and chapters of the Bible day in the fourth 7 weeks of the year. The 22nd book of the Bible is Song of Songs. The book is a love drama between a king and her bride – showing the admiration-love relationship that ought to exist between God and His people. The 22nd chapters of the Bible reveal that this is a day of demonstrating love, loyalty, and devotion towards God. The 22nd chapters of the Bible indicate that this is a day to end matters. It is a day of finals.
Day 169 is a Lamentations chapter 1 season. The first chapter (22 verses) of the 25th book of the Bible is applicable to the first day of the week. The first day of the week is a day of light. The light of the day shines through obedience or repentance. In the first chapter of the book, the Prophet laments the state of Judah and Jerusalem. Darkness is the absence of light; and prevails where and when there is no light.
Day 169 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 25th 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 10 books began with the creation and fall of the man in the image and likeness of God; and ended with the man after God’s heart sitting on the throne of God’s choice nation. This is a day of aligning with God.
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 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. Today, seek the Lord against disasters in the week as you come into alignment. Call upon Him for mercy. Happy 169th day!
