THE COMMUNION, THE MEAL THAT HEALS

Apst. Emmanuel Osezele

KEY TEXT: Matthew 26:26 KJV: “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.”

THE COMMUNION: The Communion of Christ is the meal that heals —it was not just a once-off event before Christ ascended, but it is a continual necessity for all believers, even in today's present age (1 Corinthians 11:25). It reminds us of the body broken and the blood shed for our redemption. In it is freedom, deliverance, and wholeness for all who believes. Revelation 22:13

HOPEFULNESS IN CHRIST: When we hand our crisis to Jesus, even the most hopeless situations can be turned around. The widow with nothing, but a pot of oil, saw her jars filled when she obeyed the word of the Lord. Likewise, the oil of your health, your marriage, or your walk with God may seem empty, but when you bring it to Jesus, He can fill it anew. 2 Kings 4:7

HAND IT TO JESUS: Even when crisis look greater than our circumstances, we must hand them over to Jesus. There is no hopelessness in Christ, no darkness He cannot turn into light. He remains our hope, the bright and morning star who opens doors no one can shut. Revelation 3:7

PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, give me the grace to remind myself that your blood and body brings unending benefits to those that take it in faith, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION:

1 Corinthians 11:25 KJV: “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.”
