Christ is our jubilee, wow! He is
our victory chant. What an amazing reality to live in this time and age called
‘in christ’. Its time to stop chasing the shadows, seasons and festivals, we
have the real substance Christ, living and reverberating in the inside of us.
Because we are in Christ , we are
blessed coming in , we are blessed going out. We are no longer in the shadows
of chasing God’s move, God’s season for his move and season came in the person
of jesus Christ.
God created another day called today
Heb 4:7-11 again he appoints a certain day,
"Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already
quoted, "Today, if you hear his voice, do
not harden your hearts." 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later
on. 9 So then, there
remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from
his. 11 Let us
therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of
disobedience
In the past
, in the days of ignorance of the children of Israel. God operated in times and seasons.
Though he was their ever present king and a help in time of need. The
Israelites delved in the dungeon of stubbornness and impatience. In the period
of te law and the prophets you cold hear of days like Sabbath, the day of
atonement, etc. You could hear of feasts like the feasts of Sabbath, the feast
of the tabernacles. These were days when the nation would expect visitation
from the lord. People would be freed and released from sin, Blessings would be
announced on people.
But ever
since the fulfillment of time, the fullness of time. God has apponted another
day calling it today. Time and distance and delay were summarized in a day
called today. Its no longer about a future experience or a delayed visiation
from the lord. Christ simply became our jubilee, our perfect rest and you can
experience him now.
The time
and the statistics appended to divine visitation from the lord or the so perceived the year of Gods favor
are just but shadows. Christ is the lord of the Day. He is our today. Right now
we experience Christ and the power of resurrection being revealed in our mortal
bodies. The best favor that time and seasons does for us is to reveal who we
are in an extended period of our earthly times.
Its time to cease from our works.
These wow moments that we have created outside Christ must come to a dead end.
Otherwise lets emasculate ourselves and practice the jubilee chant.
If we fail to discern Christ who
has become our jubilee, our restitution and our return to inheritance, then we
may as well as revert back to the old Jewish ways.
While the church is captured in
the waves of the jubilee season we ought to go back to the law investigate what
the law said and abide by it to the latter because he who breaks even one law
is guilty of breaking all laws.
We should supposedly see the
whole land in Kenya
lay idle for a whole year without ploughing, without harvesting lest we are
held guilty of breaking the law of the year of jubilee. If that’s not enough
all the prisoners (since they are slaves of the state) must be freed from our
cells, be it Kamiti, Naivasha maximum prison, kingongo prison, wherever.
In addition to that we have to
observe numbers and dates very carefully taking into consideration that the
jewish calendar is very different from the Gregorian calendar we use today.
In short, its of no use chasing
the shadows. Don’t demote yourself to go back to the struggle the Israelites
had whereas you are found in Christ. We don’t do things because we see what is
written in the bible. Our motivation is Christ who is the revelation of
scripture. Let it be declared from the rooftop that Christ is our jubilee.
Spiritual gymnastics built outside of the person of Christ amount to nothing.
Christ suffices. He is our
ultimate rest. Our energy and life is wrapped up in him. Christ says that its
time for the church to have its rest. Its time to strive to enter into that
rest, the rest of God which catapults us as we see Christ. Enough of shambolic Christianity.
Its time to reveal who Christ is. Christ in you the hope of glory.
We thank God that we can study
numbers dates and years in the bible, and I say halleluyah because the best
this revelation does is to point me to Christ and he lives in us to the glory
of God
