God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study.

The Lord’s Supper  

Friday 25th July

Text: Luke 22: 17-20
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 represented His body that was offered on the cross for the salvation of humanity. The cup represented His blood that was shed for the forgiveness of sins of all who believe on Him. Immediately after the Pentecost, when the believers began to assemble for worship, the church began the observance of the Lord's super. This was observed 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 his letter to the Corinthian Church, Paul told them the revelation Jesus gave to him directly concerning the observance of the Lord's Supper
A: Jesus celebrated it with His disciples. B: Every believer should partake of it. C: The purpose is to keep alive in our hearts the memory of the sacrificial death of Christ. D: The body of Christ, the local church, should observe this rite often. E: The often observance of this rite announces the sacrificial death of Jesus to all in the assembly. F: The Lord's Supper should be observed continually until He comes. G: Sinners and backsliders are not to partake in the Lord's Supper. H: Self-examination is required of those who desire to partake of this rite. They must have right-standing with God. I; 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 surely spiritual consequence on both the local church and the individual believer who disobeys this scriptural injunction. 
Thought for the day: Every true believer should take the Lord's Supper regularly. 
Song for the day: We are heirs of the Father
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 38-40

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...
