6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and be watchful to do them, that it may be well with you and that you may increase exceedingly, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

6:4 Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord [the only Lord].

VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. Our Feast is the LORD JESUS

"You shall rejoice in your Feast,"

Isaiah 12:6

Cry aloud and shout joyfully, you women and inhabitants of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

Philippians 4:4

Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice!

Psalms 37:4

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.

Example of Paul:

Philippians 4:10

I was made very happy in the Lord that now you have revived your interest in my welfare after so long a time; you were indeed thinking of me, but you had no opportunity to show it. Unbelievers are shallow people, because whenever they celebrate their birthdays they only do it once a week. While we celebrate every Sundays in the House of the LORD. We celebrate JESUS in our lives as the real reason and deeper meaning of celebration.

As believers of the LORD, we rejoice only in the LORD not in our circumstances, careers, or whatever attainment we have in life.

B. We celebrate as a family: you, son, daughter, manservant and maidservant, Levite, stranger, fatherless and widow

"you, your son and daughter, your manservant and maidservant, the Levite, the transient and the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your towns."

Ecclesiastes 9:7

Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart [if you are righteous, wise, and in the hands of God], for God has already accepted your works.

Isaiah 35:10

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

1 Thessalonians 5:16

Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always);

The real reason to rejoice life is JESUS in our lives. Unbelievers celebrate with drinking beer and wine that will destroy their bodies. We as believers are not to do that kind of celebration, what we do is praise and worship the LORD through a song and we dance in the LORD. We clap our hands in praise and thanksgiving to the LORD.

Song to sing:

Celebrate JESUS Celebrate

How does the people of the LORD celebrate in the bible:

1. They recall the LORD in their minds and thanking and praising the LORD

1 Chronicles 16:4

He appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord and to celebrate [by calling to mind], thanking and praising the Lord, the God of Israel:

2. With musical instruments

Nehemiah 12:27

And for the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites in all their places to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgivings, and with singing, cymbals, harps, and lyres.

3. By singing

Psalms 138:5

Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord and joyfully celebrate His mighty acts, for great is the glory of the Lord.

4. By shouting

Revelation 19:7

Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself.

5. By enjoying life itself

Isaiah 38:18

For Sheol (the place of the dead) cannot confess and reach out the hand to You, death cannot praise and rejoice in You; they who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness [to Your promises; their probation is at an end, their destiny is sealed].

6. By eating and drinking - feasting

Exodus 10:9

And Moses said, We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds [all of us and all we have], for we must hold a feast to the Lord.

Exodus 12:14

And this day shall be to you for a memorial. You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations, keep it as an ordinance forever.

7. By bringing a freewill offering

Deuteronomy 16:10

Then you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with a tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give to the Lord your God, as the Lord your God blesses you.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I celebrate You in my life.
