SABBATH |UNDERSTANDING GOD’S REST |FULFILLMENT IN REST | SUMMIT’24| CHIMDI OHAHUNA

“The Blessing is the Foundation For Creations ”

Welcome back to the Gracelifecomi Podcast for another enlightening episode in our Sabbath series! In this installment, we look further into Genesis 2:3 and explore the profound concept that the blessing is not just a passive gift but the very empowerment that initiates and sustains all of creation. Discover how from the very beginning, God laid the groundwork for existence through His blessings, crafting an operating system designed for fruitfulness and abundance.

Join us as we unpack the idea that the blessing represents a divine initiation—a gift bestowed upon humanity before the concept of sanctification was introduced. You'll learn why understanding the blessing is crucial for leading a sanctified life, as exemplified by God's setting apart of the seventh day for Sabbath.

In this episode, we will outline six key reasons why God chose to rest, including:

1. He finished His work of creation.

2. He found satisfaction in the goodness of His creation.

3. He aimed to mark an ending for humanity to commence post and procreation.

4. He relished the act of observing His creation.

5. He purposefully blessed the seventh day.

6. He sanctified the seventh day as a holy precedent for us.

7. He created a precedence so we can take complacency in Him.

As we explore these points, we will reflect on God’s desire for man’s comfort and how the entirety of creation serves to uplift humanity for His pleasure, drawing from references in Revelation 4:11 and Genesis 6:29.

Discover also a critical truth: man’s true pleasure isn’t derived from the comforts of creation but from a deep relationship with God. By understanding our sustenance comes from Him, rather than the material world, we’ll find that real fulfillment lies in a life wholly centered around God as our ultimate source of pleasure.

In this episode, you will understand the grace of resting in the Finished Work of Christ and recognize how His redemptive purpose aligns with the original creation articulated in Genesis. As we discuss the significance of Jesus seated in the position of rest (Mark 16:19; Hebrews 1:3, 10:10, 4:3 & 10), you will also discover that entering into His rest is not merely about cessation from labor but about embracing a lifestyle that reflects our completion through Him.

Tune in for a great learning session that redefines how we view the blessing, rest, and our ongoing relationship with God. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to receive deeper insights into living a blessed and sanctified life!
