Another
aspect of being refreshed is to meditate and refresh the mind as to what truly
transpired on that specific day, For example;
- The weekly Sabbath
This day is to remind us and reflect on God’s
creation and express our gratitude for all the things God created for the
benefit of all humanity, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we
eat and all the heavenly hosts, the sun, the moon, the stars and expressing gratitude
for all these things.
- Passover and days of Unleavened Bread
This festival
is intend to refresh our minds of what transpired on the day that Jesus Christ
died and paid the price of sin for all humanity and to reflect on the words of
the Psalmist David who wrote; “Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within
me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His
benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who
redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and
tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth
is renewed like the eagle's” (Psalms 103:1-5).
- The Feast of First Fruits
This festival
is the Sunday which falls during the days of Unleavened Bread and fifty (50)
days after this festival we get the Feast of Pentecost. The rationale for this
festival is to refresh our minds and express our gratitude to the Lord for giving
us a new birth in the Spirit or for the new creation. This is the day that
Jesus Christ presented Himself to the Father after His resurrection from the
dead.
Remember,
when Jesus Christ died we all (humanity) died with Him as we have been duly instructed
saying; “For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life
that He lives, He lives to God.” And, “For the love of Christ compels us,
because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for
all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who
died for them and rose again” (Romans 6:10:
2 Corinthians 5: 14-15).
