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...
One of the things that becomes unmistakably clear as Scripture unfolds is this: God has always been the One who provides.
Before sin entered the world—before striving, before commands, before failure—God blessed humanity by saying, “See, I have given you everything.” Provision came first. Identity came first. Blessing came first.
The command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil came after blessing, not before it. Life was not conditional. Relationship was not earned. God gave freely because giving is who He is.
Peter later describes this same reality when he writes that God has given us “everything that pertains to life and godliness.” Not some things. Not potential. Everything.
This means provision is not just material—it is spiritual, relational, functional, and purposeful.
Provision Before Performance
Throughout Scripture, God consistently reveals Himself as the One who acts first.
In the garden, everything was provided before Adam lifted a finger.
In the Promised Land, Israel inherited houses they didn’t build and vineyards they didn’t plant.
In the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus tells us it is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom.
Provision always precedes obedience.
Grace always precedes response.
Which brings us to a realization that quietly overturns how many of us were taught to think about faith.
Jesus Fulfilled What We Could Not
When Jesus came to be baptized by John, He said something profound:
“It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.”
Jesus wasn’t repenting. He wasn’t correcting failure.
He was completing something on humanity’s behalf.
Later, Paul would say that by the obedience of One, many were made righteous. Not by collective effort. Not by improved discipline. By One.
This means righteousness wasn’t just forgiven—it was fulfilled.
And if righteousness required obedience, then obedience itself was accomplished in Christ.
That realization changes everything.
Even the Obedience Was Provided
If God has provided:
the sacrifice
the righteousness
the blessing
the inheritance
everything pertaining to life and godliness
Then we must also acknowledge this:
👉 He provided the obedience too.
Jesus didn’t simply remove consequences for disobedience.
He fulfilled obedience in our place.
Which means we are not obeying in order to earn blessing.
We are learning to walk aligned with what has already been secured.
Obedience, then, is no longer a transaction.
It’s not leverage.
It’s not proof.
It’s participation.
Seeking the Kingdom Is Seeking Understanding
Jesus said,
“Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added.”
The Kingdom isn’t a formula—it’s the mind, will, intention, and desire of God.
To seek the Kingdom is to come into understanding—of who God is and what He has done.
And once we understand what God accomplished in Jesus Christ and Him crucified, we begin to rest.
Rest doesn’t mean inactivity.
It means security.
It means we stop trying to produce what God has already provided.
Blessing Was Never Personal
Another thing that becomes clear is that blessing isn’t personal—it’s purposeful.
From the beginning, blessing had a purpose:
be fruitful
multiply
replenish
subdue
have dominion
Blessing is not consolation for pain.
It’s commission for purpose.
God Himself says,
“Not for your sake do I do this, but for My name’s sake.”
Which means God blesses so that His purpose in the earth can be fulfilled—not so that our wounds can be validated.
Healing matters. Restoration matters.
But blessing is about assignment, not compensation.
The Easy Yoke We Forgot
Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
Yet many of us have been taught to equate faith with pressure:
hurting our pockets to prove trust
overextending ourselves to prove obedience
remaining in unhealthy situations to prove submission
That is not the yoke Jesus described.
A light burden only makes sense when nothing essential is missing.
And if God has truly provided everything—including the obedience—then faith is no longer strain.
Faith becomes rest in who God is.
Living From What Has Been Finished
The cross didn’t initiate God’s provision.
It revealed it in fullness.
Jesus didn’t say, “Now it’s possible.”
He said, “It is finished.”
Which means our lives are no longer about trying to get God to move.
They are about learning to live aligned with what He has already done.
Even the obedience was provided.
And that realization doesn’t weaken faith—it finally allows it to breathe.
