New Book "Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth" Illuminates God’s Timeless Process of Creation and Personal Transformation Author Kyeme Chacon Reveals a Powerful, Faith-Building Journey Through the Genesis Creation Narrative In a world filled with uncertainty and change, author Kyeme Chacon invites readers into the steady, sovereign rhythm of God’s creation process in his new book, Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth . More than a commentary on Genesis, this compelling work explores how the same divine process that formed the world continues to shape individual lives today. Through biblical insight, real-life testimony, and thought-provoking reflections, Chacon uncovers the sacred pattern of God’s hand—from chaos to order, from darkness to light, from brokenness to dominion. “This book was born out of transformation,” Chacon writes, “and my goal is to illuminate the pattern—to show that God’s process is still in motion and that your life is being shaped by it.” Whethe...
Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). For a long time, that verse can sound like striving: do this first, and maybe you’ll be rewarded later. But when you hold it up against the whole story of Scripture, you start to see something different.
From the very beginning, in Genesis 1:28, God created mankind in His image. Being created in His image was the right standing — the alignment with Him. Then came the blessing. And from that blessing flowed fruitfulness, multiplication, and dominion. These were not things Adam and Eve had to earn; they were the natural outflow of the righteousness God had already provided.
That same pattern is revealed again through Christ. What sin had broken, Jesus restored by the cross. He brought us back into alignment with God. And from that alignment flows the blessing: we have been made right with Him through Jesus, and in Him we are fruitful. He is our righteousness.
And here’s the beauty: Jesus also tells us, “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). The Father delights to bless His children. The Kingdom is not a prize for the strivers, but a gift from a Father who gives freely. He has already provided what is required for us to walk in it.
So then what does it mean to “seek the Kingdom”? It isn’t about trying harder to achieve righteousness. That has been provided. It’s about perceiving, understanding, and receiving what’s already been given. That’s why Jesus spoke so often about what the Kingdom is like — parables opening our eyes to the reality that the Kingdom is God Himself shared with us. Knowing Him is the inheritance. And as Jesus defined it, knowing Him is eternal life (John 17:3).
From Eden to the Promised Land to the Kingdom of God, the story is the same: God gives freely. Striving was never the requirement — trust, faith, and relationship were. Right standing has been provided. The Kingdom has been given. And the Father takes pleasure in making sure of it.
