Welcome to the season of the ninth 7 years (57-63). The ninth 7 years is also called the 9th prophetic week. It begins after the 56th anniversary or birthday; and ends with the 63rd anniversary or birthday. Every seven year season is a prophetic week. The 9th seven years is the second prophetic week in the second 49 years of life (50-98) It is a core second-season. We can gain understanding about the 9th prophetic week from the second day of creation narrative, the ninth book and ninth chapters of the Bible, the 9th seven books of the Bible, and the second six chapters of Exodus (7-12). I pray that a full package of the good things of the ninth season will be your portion this prophetic week. What is revealed here about the ninth week is equally applicable to people, families, organizations, and nations, going through the ninth seven years (57-63).
The 9th Seven Years is a second-day-of-creation season. On the second day of creation, God created the firmament to break the monopoly of the waters; and make room for other things to exist. As God released the monopoly-breaker on the second day of creation, the ninth week is for breaking oppressive monopolies and making room for others. It is for making a way where there is no way. In this season, God wants to dismantle giant space-blockers presented as problems defying solution. It is a season of intense spiritual warfare against evil forces.
The 9th seven years is a book-of-First-Samuel season. Every numbered season has its guiding light in the Bible book that corresponds to the number of the season. First Samuel is the ninth book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 9th prophetic week. The book stands for the emergence of new leaders to fill a leadership void, the recovery of what is lost, the demonstration of God’s power in answer to prayers, and the overthrow of monopolies. This is a season of leadership-change, recovery of lost things, answers to fervent prayers, and thwarting evil monopolies. May the heart of Hannah, Samuel, and David come alive in you this week. The leadership change required here is moving from one that is a burden (as found in the house of Eli) to one that lifts burdens (as found in Samuel and David). God anointed both Saul and David for battles. The ninth book of the Bible reveals that the ninth season is a season of battles. The revelation of God as “the Lord of hosts” began in the ninth book of the Bible.
The 9th Seven Years is an Exodus 7-12 Season. This is the second of the seven divisions of Exodus covering the second 49 years of existence. In this second section of Exodus, Moses released ten plagues to pressurize Pharaoh to release Israel. Pharaoh and Egypt came under intense pressure by reason of the successive plagues. Through the plagues, Pharaoh’s monopoly of power was broken. This ninth prophetic week is for mounting intense spiritual pressure on, and breaking the strength of, evil and oppressive forces of the season. This is a season to demand progressive and positive change. It is a season of war for freedom from evil controlling powers.
The 9th seven years is a ninth chapters of the Bible season. The ninth chapters of the Bible reveal that the ninth season is:
(1) for the emergence of new leadership spirit (Genesis 9, First Samuel 9, Second Kings 9, Matthew 9, Acts 9);
(2) for vows and covenants (Genesis 9, Joshua 9, First Samuel 18);
(3) for reversing plans of destruction and stopping the hands of death (Genesis 9, Judges 9, First Samuel 18-26, Esther 9, Acts 9). Vows and covenants are powerful yoke-breakers in the ninth season.
The 9th seven years is a ninth-seven books of the Bible week. The ninth seven books of the Bible are Philemon, Hebrews, James, First Peter, Second Peter, First John, and Second John. The ninth seven books are books of change, recovery, and restoration. In the 57th book of the Bible, Philemon recovers what he lost in and through Onesimus, his slave. In the 58th book, the author of the book of Hebrews focuses on change from the old covenant to the new covenant. In the 59th book, James writes about the recovery of authentic Christianity. In the 60th book, Peter draws attention to Christ-like faith amid persecution and suffering. The 61st book is about recovery of the true doctrines of our faith. In the 62nd book, John draws attention to the Life, Light, and Love. The 63rd book, written to the ‘elect lady’ is call to walk in the truth, shun idolatry and the anti-Christ. The ninth seven books of the Bible are about returning to what should be. May the ninth prophetic week bring change, recovery, and restoration to you.
REVIEW OF 9TH SEASON THINGS
Here are four broad ‘Bible-things’ about the ninth season:
A. It is a week of help to the helpless. In the ninth season, the hopeless rejoice (The Gibeonites in Joshua 9; Saul in First Samuel 9; Mephiboshet in Second Samuel 9; The Queen of Sheba in First Kings 9; Jehu in Second Kings 9; The Jews in Esther 9; The sick and afflicted in Matthew 9, Luke 9, and Mark 9; The Man born blind in John 9; Aeneas and Dorcas in Acts 9). Believe God, tin his season, for surprising visitations in the area of need.
B. It is a week of recoveries. In the ninth season, lost things are recovered. In the 9th book of the Bible, the Philistines returned the Ark they captured. In the ninth chapter of that book, the lost donkeys belonging to Saul’s father were found. In the 30th chapter of that book, David pursued his enemies and recovered all he lost to them. In Acts 9, God recovered a lost soul in Saul of Tardus. Saul recovered his sight; Aeneas recovered his health; and Dorcas recovered her life In this prophetic week, may you celebrate the recovery of things you lost.
C. It is a week of reversing the plans of the wicked. This season, what the wicked had planned for others will return to the head of the wicked. The ninth season is when evil returns to those who plan it for others. In this season, the opposite of what the wicked thinks happens. It is a season when God treads down the enemies of his people. In Judges 9, Abimelech perished for stretching his hands against his father’s house, killing the sons of his father, and making himself king. In the 9th book of the Bible, the Philistines hurt themselves for seizing the ark of covenant; Goliath perished for standing up against the armies of the living God; and king Saul, who wanted to see David dead, died. In Second Kings 9, God raised Jehu against the house of Ahab. In Esther 9, the battle turned against those who had prepared to destroy the Jews. The Jews overpowered their enemies. In Acts 9, Saul of Tarsus encountered Jesus Christ on the way to Damascus; and his evil plan was aborted. This is a season of the Boomerang – to give to the wicked and evil people a taste of what they intend to give to others. This week, the Lord will arrest the raging of the wicked in your favor; but you must position yourself properly, under God, to receive this blessing.
D. It is a week of intense pressure to weaken and break the backbone of the enemy. The plagues that came down on Egypt in Exodus 7-12 brought Pharaoh and his people to their knees. The plagues of tumor on the Philistines and the destruction of the image of their god compelled them to return the Ark to Israel. This season, the Lord will put intense pressure on the enemy to give up on your case. Amen!
In Acts 9, Saul of Tarsus was on a mission to destroy before Jesus Christ stopped him. The Jews in were to be annihilated in Esther 9 before the opposite occurred. Jehu was anointed for the House of Ahab in Second Kings 9. The tormenting locusts from the bottomless pit were released in Revelation 9. The Bible reveals that the ‘9th’ is the strikers target. Both Heaven and hell strike in the ninth season. Nigeria’s 9th national leader was in office for 84 days before being ousted. The 9th US President served only 31 days before his death. Even 9/11 wasn’t just something that could have happened any other month of the year. This 9th prophetic week, Heaven will strike against those who want to strike you. May the Lord grant you recoveries instead of losses.
PRAYERS FOR THE 9TH WEEK
1. O Lord, reverse the plans of the wicked. Let the killers and abductors be arrested and their plans frustrated. Let the tide turn against killers and destroyers by a supernatural twist. In the 9th book of the Bible, the killer-Goliath was killed, King Saul could not kill David. In Esther 9, the plans of the Persians against the Jews backfired. In Acts 9, the spirit of death working through Paul and diseases we’re arrested. O Lord, let the enemy come under intense pressure; and let his backbone be broken. Let the prey be freed from the predator.
2. O Lord, make a way for what is lost be recovered, in this season. Let there be a recovery of lost things. In the 9th chapter of the 9th book of the Bible, Saul sought for the lost donkeys of his father. In the 30th chapter of the same First Samuel, David and his men recovered their abducted families.
3. O Lord, let there be a change of guard in this season of my life. Let there a shift in power-holding in my life. In Second Kings 9, Jehu was anointed to overthrow the House of Ahab.
4. Let there be opening of eyes for me in this prophetic week. Let the seer-anointing come upon me to see hidden things and things I have never seen before. In the ninth chapter of the ninth book of the Bible, Samuel was a Seer. But Eli’s eyes were dim. In the ninth chapter of John, a man born blind man was healed. In the 9th chapter of Matthew, two blind men received their sight. In the ninth chapter of Acts, Saul of Tarsus was healed from blindness.
