The Feast of Unleavened Bread: Newness of Life

The Feast of Unleavened Bread:  Walking in Newness of Life Free From the Leavening of Sin

By Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

God’s appointed Feast of Unleavened Bread begins at sunset on March 26^th and is celebrated for seven days.

To learn more about this appointed time read Lev 23:6-8, Deut 16:1-8

The feast is picture of all believers in Christ being cleansed from sin and empowered to walk in newness of life.  As we are empowered to walk in newness of life, let’s make seven declarations (one for each day of the feast) from the Word of God to seal and confirm our commitment.

1.   "Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples." 1 Chronicles 16:24 and Psalm 96:3 (NKJV)

2.     “I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.” Psalm 22:22 (NKJV)  

3.      “I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens." Psalm 89:1-2 (NKJV)

4.     “O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.” Psalm 51:15 (NKJV)  

5.     “O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.” Psalm 71:17 (NKJV)  

6.     ”For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!” Psalm 84:10-12 (NKJV)  

7.      Like Jesus, I love righteousness and I hate iniquity; therefore God anoints me with the oil of gladness - Hebrews 1:9. 

    During this Holy Season, let's join together to meditate on the goodness of God.
