THE EIGHTH DAY

Genesis 5:3 it says, “ And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.” Adam lived eight hundred years to see the beginning of the new lineage. Seth means it is an appointed time, an appointed time to enter into a life that God had purposed. God did not bless the lineage of Cain and the lineage of Cain died.

Cain was the one who created cities of entertainment because there was no longer a longing for the divine impartation of God. Many churches today are great cities of entertainment, but there is no hunger for God, and there is no longing for the divine impartation of God because we are no longer living in the completion and the purpose of God.

It is not important what I do, but as God rests within me, He wants complete the Christ-likeness within me. I can preach hundreds of sermons and be successful, but if I never enter the eighth day, the new beginning for which Christ died, I am not completed. It does not matter how great my ministry is, it will not be what God intended because I have never come into the understanding of what it means to come into the ‘day’ that the Lord has made.

God is trying to give us a new beginning and it has nothing to do with a new marriage, church, job, or ministry. Many of us have all these things, but we have never had a new beginning because we are in the Cain lineage; every experience we have causes something to die within us

With every animal whether a sheep, goat or cow, after eight days, the firstborn belongs to God. Only seven days can it be with its mother, but on the eighth day, it belongs to the Lord, and it had to become a sacrifice upon the altar. All the unclean, uncultured animals had to be redeemed with a price. On the eighth day, every son had to be circumcised because the new beginning had to have a sign. It was not just words spoken; it had to be a mark on his body. For us to come into a new beginning, we cannot come into that beginning without a circumcision of our heart where God will take off the foreskin of our heart, and we become naked and bare before the Lord.

In His Love,
