These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them. 5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight,[a] is the Lord's Passover. (Lev 23:4-5)
🌻Feasting is, first and foremost, an expression of our membership: membership in a family, in a community, in God’s body, and in God’s created order.
🌻 The book of Acts tells us that one of the first and biggest transformations the early church went through after the day of Pentecost was in the way they ate:
“they broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and generous hearts” (Acts 2:46).
🌻Keeping the feast of the Lord is a call to continuously commune with the Saints. The essence is that those who have more both in physical or spiritual gifts are able to share with the rest.
Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. ( 1 Cor 15:26)
🌻Paul speaks of Keeping the feast as it should be kept with the new Unleavened bread of Sincerity and truth. He warns us to avoid the old bread that had the leaven of malice and wickedness. (1 Cor 5:8).
🌻The word sincerity is translated from the Greek word eilikrineia. Thayer’s Greek Lexicon defines its root word as: “found pure when unfolded and examined by the sun’s light.”
🌻If God looked at your heart and unfolded it, laid it out in the sun and scrutinized every little bit of it, what would He find?
🌻When he talks about Truth, it’s possible to be sincere but not in the truth. Forexample living in the fear of say witchcraft is real but according to truth, Jesus has dealt with all witchcraft and has given us a spirit of boldness.
🌻As we keep on the habit of meeting together, let us put every pride and hindrances (leaven) aside and seek to be grounded in the truth.
not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Heb 10:25)
