PREACHER: Pastor Bodunrin Timothy
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
What is a Feast?
A feast is a time of abundance, joy, and satisfaction.
In the natural world, a feast is a gathering where people eat and celebrate.
However, in the spiritual realm, God invites us to a supernatural feast—a feast of His presence, power, and provision.
Jesus, in Matthew 11:28, calls all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. This invitation is more than just relief from physical exhaustion; it is an invitation to experience the supernatural provision of God in every area of life.
Matthew 11:28
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
The Invitation to the Supernatural Feast
“Come to me” – Jesus Himself is the host of this feast. He calls us personally to experience His presence.
A feast for the weary – This is not a feast for the strong or self-sufficient but for those who acknowledge their need for God. (2Cor 12:9)
2Cor 12:9
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
A supernatural rest – The rest Jesus offers is beyond physical; it is peace, joy, and assurance in His presence. (Psalm 16:11)
Psalm 16:11
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
God’s Supernatural Feast includes:
Spiritual nourishment (Matthew 4:4)

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Healing and restoration (Psalm 23:3)
Psalm 23:3
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Strength for the weary (Isaiah 40:31)

31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
