ARTICLES TITLE: WHO OWNS THE DAYS

Having deliberated on Sundry days of the week in our previous article; today, we are considering the topic: “Who owns the days?” .And we cannot know who owns the days without knowing origin of the days. Now using the Holy bible as a case study to this article, we will be able to know the origin of the days and the owner of the days known as the ancient of days.

The whole activities started from GENESIS 1:1-END, it was addressed as the beginning of the world (The planet earth), when God created the heaven and the earth, it was recorded that the earth was formless and desolate and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep. And God’s active force which is the Holy spirit was moving about over the surface of the water. And God said “Let there be light”, then, there was light. Then God saw that the light was good , and God began to divide the light from the darkness. God then called the light day but the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day. This is how the day came to be in existence. Now the question remains “Who owns the days?”. God is the answer.

And having established this fact, we are going to know how God divided the days of the week to become what we are seeing today: God used the six days of the week in creating different things, but on the seventh day; God rested. Now, after creating day and night THE FIRST DAY, He proceeded to create heaven on THE 2^ND DAY, on THE 3^RD DAY He created the earth to produce plants and fruit trees according to their species, then, on THE 4^TH DAY, God created seasons and days and years, God made two luminaries, the greater one to dominate the day and the lesser one to dominate the night. And there was evening and there was morning on THE 5^TH DAY. God created the living creatures both the sea and flying creatures according to their kind. Then, with this God blessed them by saying “Be fruitful and become many and fill   the water of the sea, and let the flying creatures become many on earth. Then, on THE 6^TH DAY, God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of sea and the flying creature of heaven and domestic animals and all the earth and every creeping animal that is moving  on the earth. And God went on to create man in His image; and in God’s image, He created him: Male and female. God blessed them; and said to them “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it and have in subjection or dominion the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heaven and every living creature that is moving on earth.

 

Now, by the seventh day, everything was completed, then God rested from all His hard work. Now, we are able to establish the origin of the days and owner of the days. But apart from diverse activities on the sundry days of the week, what are we expected to do for owner of the days for these good works? We know that God does not eat human food, if then, that is true, what does God eat? God eats glory and praises as His diet (Revelation 4:11), this is why when you act in this capacity, God will begin to shower His blessings on you (Exodus 23:25). So, what days are expected to render this food supply to God in abundant? Religious people said only on Sundays which is the day of His rest, that is 50% correct but God demands our praises every day, whenever you have the opportunity to do that. Though, Sunday are special day mapped out for that, but we need to offer Him His food supply every day, especially when we have the opportunity to do so, no wonder King David praises God seven times per a day. In conclusion, having established facts, let us call it a day.
