[Humble oluchi God’s power]

By approaching and participating in holy Communion with a posture of faith, we can encounter the transformative healing power and health of Christ at work in our lives, impacting us both spiritually, emotionally and physically.

* Point 1: Healing is the Children’s Bread.

The bread implied here is not just any bread. Jesus in replying to the devil said “man shall not live by bread alone”( Luke 4:4) signifying that in identifying with the word of God, nourishment and eternal life is guaranteed.

It is the children’s right. You don’t beg for your right. God’s provision on his table is supplous in copious quantity. Healing is always available. No wonder the psalmist says, bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits.
Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases (psalm 103:2-3)(Psalm 107:20) (Isaiah 53:5).
The word “heal” mentioned in these scriptures, is not limited to physical health but also includes emotional and spiritual wholeness.
The Lord’s Supper serves as a symbolic feast representing the body and blood of God. The blood continues to cleanse us from sin, while the broken body offers healing; hence, the scripture states that by His stripes we are healed. This healing is a present reality, stemming from the suffering of His body. (Matthew 8:1-3) (Luke 7:11-16) As you partake in the Lord’s Supper, every incurable illness will vanish, and those who are lifeless and desolate will be revitalized, with joy taking the place of sorrow. Death will yield to life, and light will overcome darkness, bringing forth abundance from scarcity.

* Point 2: Eating and Drinking the Lord’s Supper Unworthily

In (1 Corinthians 11:25-30) verse 29 addresses the concept of taking the Supper unworthily. What does “unworthily” mean? Many interpret it to mean that one should not partake in the Lord’s Supper if they feel unworthy. However, if this were the correct interpretation, no one would ever partake, as no one is truly worthy. Therefore, it must refer to something else; it is not the individual who is unworthy, but rather the manner in which the Supper is taken. Taking the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner can lead to spiritual consequences, including a lack of healing, as these individuals do not discern (krino) in the Lord’s Supper. It is essential to ensure that you partake in the Lord’s Supper in a worthy manner to avoid the spiritual repercussions of not receiving healing.

Conclusion

In (John 7:37-39)Jesus extends an invitation for anyone who is thirsty to come and drink from the well of life; those who drink in faith will have rivers of water flowing from within them. What He has accomplished in the past, can be achieved. He remains unchangeable. Engage in this communion regularly to experience renewal and refreshment in your body, soul, and spirit.
