22. And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 JULY 2021 MESSAGE

Jesus offered His body to His disciples and by extension to us His present-day apostles.

An invitation to a Holy Communion Service is an invitation to come and partake in the life of the Life-Giver.

The body of Jesus was broken for us and so, when we partake in the Lord’s Supper, we are eating Jesus’ body which is meat indeed (John 6:48-50).

Whoever eats His body has eternal life.The significance of the Lord’s Supper resides in its value.

The value of a meal is determined by how much you put into it.

To give us the Lord’s Supper, Jesus Christ had to pay a great price by shedding His blood on the cross.

The Lord cannot pay such a great price only for us to remain in the congregation of the dead.

After so great a price has been paid for such a meal, we must reap the benefits of life to its fullest.

Jesus said: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. – (John 10:10).

The Holy Communion meal positively affects our body, soul and spirit.

When you partake in the life-giving meal comprising the broken body of Jesus Christ, value is added to your life.

No matter how empty or meaningless life may have seemed, partaking of the Holy Communion meal gives you new life – ensuring that you can have a better life, go further and achieve greater things.

To access the benefits of the Holy Communion Meal however, you must first accept and acknowledge Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, then begin to live by the commandments of the One who paid the supreme price for the salvation of your soul.

You must however be careful not to partake of this meal unworthily (1 Corinthians 11:27-29), as doing so would bring damnation.

This is why many are weak and sickly in the congregation.

In order not to partake of the meal unworthily, you must do a self-examination and ensure that you do not have a lifestyle of s*xual immorality and other sins.

OPEN HEAVEN 1 JULY 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please let the broken body and the blood of Jesus Christ, avail for me in all areas of my life in Jesus’ name.
