QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HOLY COMMUNION

God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study

TOPIC: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HOLY COMMUNION

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 10:16  

FRIDAY OCTOBER 13RD

Key verse: Luke 24:47: “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” 
Question: Some churches take communion every now and then, causing people to go there because they believe that since man is prone to sin and temptation, by taking part in it, his sins may be cleansed. Now what are the pastors who are bestowed with the responsibility of uniting the church going to do? 
Answer: The idea that taking the Holy Communion cleanses from sin is erroneous because the forgiveness and cleansing of sins means you are no more committing sin. If your sins are forgiven it means that sin has been removed. The record of sin on you has been canceled and you have received power to sin no more. The fear of God will come into you and you won’t do it again. Our key verse says that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in His name among all nations. Not that somebody will confess today and go back to the same thing tomorrow. No. He that is born of God does not sin for His seed is in Him; he cannot sin because he is born of God. As a believer, if you go into error, come back to God and ask for forgiveness. He will forgive you and give you the power not to sin no more but if you keep sinning then you are not born again. The Holy Communion does not provide forgiveness of sin; it is an ordinance to remind us of the death, resurrection, and return of Jesus Christ. The emblems remind us of the shed blood and body of Christ. 
Whoever partakes unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body hence many are dead and sick among you because you eat it in your sin. It is not something you eat for forgiveness or holiness. No! It makes you remember the Lord’s death until he comes. So, as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show the Lord’s death until He comes as often as possible. We observe Holy Communion during conferences.  Churches can choose the period they want to take it. well, wisdom will be called into that because when it becomes too frequent, it will be communized. 

Thought for the day: Taking the Holy Communion does not cleanse from sin 

Song for the day: The fountain of life is flowing everywhere…

Bible reading for the day: - Isaiah 50-52; 1 Thessalonians 1

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
