Here's a Secret Code for Your Breakthrough
Ps.118.24 - This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Today is the twenty-seventh day in the month of June, and I want to share with you the secret that is hidden in this day. I have written about the spiritual significance of the sixth month and now I want to share about this day in particular - the 27th day.
Now, this thing is not mere coincidence, no. And it is not religiosity. The Bible is filled with insights about the spiritual significance of times and seasons. And times and seasons are marked by days, months and years scripturally. I hope to write on this more elaborately at some time in the future.
The twenty-seventh day is mentioned 2 times in the Bible and at both times, they manifest the same act of God: supernatural release i.e. freedom, liberty, positive change of story.
And as you will see, these transitions occurred irrespective of the cause of captivity: God or Satan.
An Act of God
Gen.8.14 - And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
Gen.8.15 - Then God spoke to Noah, saying,
Gen.8.16 - "Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.
Gen.8.17 - Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."
Gen.8.18 - So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.
Gen.8.19 - Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.
Noah’s confinement in the ark was an act of God, performed to protect Noah and the animals from the flood that God brought to destroy the sinful world at the time. Despite this being God's protective measure, it was nevertheless a form of ‘limitation’ for Noah and others. They were meant to flourish on the earth, moving freely, not enclosed in an ark that was swayed around by the flood and the waves.
But when it was time to release them to abound, be fruitful and multiply again on the earth (according to God's original plan for man) the earth began to dry up. And then on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was completely dry and God opened the door of the ark and brought them out of their confinement into liberty and abundance. He spoke life, fruitfulness, and prosperity upon them.
Captivity and Oppression
What if the confinement in a person's life is not according to God's design but the oppression of the wicked? Let's see.
2Kgs.25.27 - Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison.
2Kgs.25.28 - He spoke kindly to him, and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon.
2Kgs.25.29 - So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life.
2Kgs.25.30 - And as for his provisions, there was a regular ration given him by the king, a portion for each day, all the days of his life.
On the 27th day - again - God remembered a king imprisoned in Babylon as a prisoner of war. So He put it in his captor’s mind to release him. But beyond that, He touched the captor’s heart to favour his former prisoner - to put him in a better position than other prisoners and to give him kingly provisions all the days of his life.
The Bible is among others a book of codes - Jesus called it keys - and when you are privileged to find and understand how to use one, it will deliver maximally for you. If you diligently apply it!
I didn't want to be one who excites others; I want to make impact and transform lives. When I discover a truth - or code, if you like - I try to make it work in my own life before showing others. And I can tell you as a gospel truth, it works.
I've approached God on the altar of prayer with this understanding, and there was a release. I declared a 3-day fast concerning a matter of serious concern from the 26th of the month, and on the 27th I cried to God for a release, citing the 27th day as revealed in Scripture. And I got it. All I could do on the third day of the fast was just to praise and thank God. Right there God gave me a word from the book of Revelation, saying “It is done.” Released from a challenge that had persisted for over a decade.
Truth works. And the truth is what I have shown you here.
Whether today, or at any other time, remember that you have a day - and it's not the only one - to which you can anchor your faith specifically for release and liberty.
And please, leave a comment below to let me know when you have tried and proved the efficacy of this truth, to help others.
Peace.
