THE HOLY COMMUNION

God bless you for taking your time to study. 

THE HOLY COMMUNION

MONDAY AUGUST 22nd

TEXT: LUKE. 22: 19 –20

Key verse: For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he comes. I Corinthians 11:26
The Holy Communion or Lord’s Supper is a rite Jesus instituted for His followers to observe in remembrance of His sacrificial death until He returns to rapture the church. The fact that it was carried out in the evening does not mean it must only be taken in the evening. What is significant is the memory it gives to the church concerning the sacrificial death of Jesus anytime it is taken.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he comes.
The following are stated in Paul’s presentation:
 The bread represents the body
 The wine (non-alcoholic) represents the blood
 Taking these two items is in remembrance of Jesus’ death till He returns
 The rite is to be observed often by the church
 The partakes must ensure there is no un-confessed sin in their lives
 It is dangerous for sinners to partake of this rite in their sin
 Judgment follows those who take this in sin.

Thought for the day: Holy Communion shows the Lord’s death till He comes.

Song for the day: In the cross, in the cross…

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 119:49-104; 1Corinthians 4

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
