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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
