‘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. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew (proclaim) the Lord’s death till he comes’ (1Corinthians 11:25-26).
The hosts in heaven sing this song always, “worthy is the lamb that was slain.” There’s power in proclaiming the Lord’s death. The scripture above tells us that when we take The Communion, we do proclaim the Lord’s death. We proclaim to the principalities, powers and our circumstances that they have been disarmed, because Jesus triumphed over them. When you partake of the Holy Communion, you proclaim to demon spirits that Jesus reigns. This means that every demon has to flee. Once you are a believer, you are a priest. (1 Peter 2:9). So you can partake of the Lord’s Table and even minister it to others. You do not have to be a pastor to do that. Therefore, take the Holy Communion as often as you need to. Glory to God!
Don’t be afraid to partake of the Communion. The church has somehow misconstrued the teaching of the communion table and Now, Christians say things like, “If you are unworthy, don’t partake,” or, “If you’ve got sin in your life, don’t come to the Lord’s Table or else you become weak, sick and even die prematurely.” They have made something that was meant to be a blessing to seem as a curse. In any case, all of us who come to the Lord’s Table were once unworthy and were made worthy only by the Blood of JESUS. It is only JESUS’ death that qualified us to partake from.
When Paul said to not partake in an unworthy manner, it meant to recognize or discern that the broken body of the Lord was what was meant for our health and wholeness. Treating the Holy Communion as a ritual will make one miss out on the blessings.
Say this with me: THE BLOOD OF JESUS HAS MADE ME ETERNALLY QUALIFIED TO PARTAKE OF THE LORD’S TABLE, AND AS I PARTAKE, I PROCLAIM THE LORD’S DEATH AND HIS FINISHED WORKS IN ALL THAT CONCERNS ME IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
