THE LORD'S SUPPER OR HOLY COMMUNION

Gods blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: THE LORD'S SUPPER OR HOLY COMMUNION 

TEXT: LUKE 22:17-20 

SUNDAY AUGUST 13TH

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 11: 26 “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come.”  
The Lord Jesus Christ instituted the Lord's super and commanded that His disciples should keep on observing it until He returns. The bread represents His body that was offered on the cross for the salvation of humanity. The cup represents His blood that was shed for the forgiveness of sins of all who believe on Him. The early church observed the Lord's supper daily as their meeting was daily. Later we saw that in the church at Ephesus the Lord's super was observed weekly, in the first day of the week when the brethren assembled for worship. In first Corinthians, Paul wrote of the revelation Jesus gave to him directly on the observance of the Lord's Supper: 
(1) Jesus celebrated it with His disciples. (II) Every believer should partake of it. (III)  The purpose is to remind us of the sacrificial death of Christ. (IV)  The body of Christ, the local church, should observe his rite often. (V) The often observance of this rite announces the sacrificial death of Jesus to all in the assembly. (VI) The Lord's Supper should be observed continually until He comes. (VII) Sinners and backsliders are not to partake in the Lord's Supper. (VIII) Self-examination is required of those who desire to partake of this rite. They must have right standing with God. (IX) Those who eat the Lord's Supper in sin will suffer   divine judgment. 
Although the time interval between one observance and the other is not fixed in Paul's letter to the Corinthians, the ceremony is to be observed often, regularly, frequently. Those Assemblies that do not observe the Lord's Supper at all or do so once in a long while have not submitted themselves to this clear scriptural instruction. Believers who live their Christian life without partaking of the Lord's Supper along with other members of the body of Christ are not totally submissive to the word of God. There is consequence on both the local church and the individual believer who disobeys this scriptural injunction. 

Thought for the day: Every believer should partake regularly in the Lord's Supper. 

Song for the day: The old rugged cross

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 96-98; Romans 12

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
