Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
From the scriptures above it is clear that the heavens, (sun, moon, stars and days speak)
If days speak, it means months also speak. It must be understood that every month is a new prophetic season. The first few days of the month represent the gate to the month. Remember, gates in the scriptures represent place of power. .
We are often overtaken by the natural happenings around us that we forget to welcome a new prophetic season. The beginning of the month therefore offers an opportunity to influence the month by setting direction for the month. It is wrong for us to go from one month to the other without realizing there’s a change of season.In the bible, the people of God usually gathered for two things-they came together to praise the Lord and offer first fruits and secondly, they came to seek for revelation to know the mind of the Lord for the coming month to walk in His plans and work out His purposes.
…..“day by day pours out speech and night after night reveals knowledge”. This is how God works out His prophetic plan
As we stand at the gate of September, a key instrument for directing the month is our mouth. Therefore our mouth must not be quiet, neither must we say the wrong thing. We need to make declarations knowing that this is a Kairos moment when heaven is opened with angels ascending and descending.
The Sun moon & stars are meant to be for signs and wonders. However the evil people use it to affect the destinies of men. For instance, the crescent or sickle shaped moon, the evil ones use it to harvest the portion of people.
