PARTAKE OF HIS LIFE”
(The Power Of The Holy Communion)
PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME
“When we drink the cup of blessing, aren’t we taking into ourselves the blood, the very life, of Christ? And isn’t ? it the same with the loaf of bread we break and eat? Don’t we take into ourselves the body, the very life, of Christ?”
???? 1 Corinthians 10:16 MSG
???? LET’S TALK:
As John got ready to attend he Ithe communion service, thought about what his pastor had preached at the previous Sunday service about the importance of taking communion. He recalled that his pastor said the communion was an important sacrament that every Christian ought to participate in, and with those thoughts, John grabbed a cab to church for the communion service.
The Holy Communion is indeed a very important sacrament in the Church, but many take it without understanding its spiritual significance and impact. When you take the Holy Communion, you’re not only fellowshipping with the body and blood of Christ, you’re also administering life to your body because it has healing powers! It’s more potent than any medication.

In explaining the parable of the sower to His disciples in Matthew 13:3-4 and 18-19, Jesus revealed that those who received the seed by the wayside are like people who hear the Word but don’t understand it. Because they lack understanding, Satan comes immediately and steals the word sown in their hearts, causing them to miss out.
God’s Word, mixed with understanding, produces divine results. From now on, understand that when we break bread,” we’re commemorating the sacrificial death of Christ, the Lamb who was given up for us. The “Cup” signifies the New Testament sealed in His blood. His divine blood was shed for us for the forgiveness of sins, so that sin should not have dominion over us.
So, today, no matter what condition you may be facing- whether it’s a diagnosis of lung, kidney, heart, stomach, or skin problems-take the communion and declare, “No cancerous growth, weakness, disease, infirmity, or sickness can thrive or survive in my body. I’m healthy, vibrant, and strong.” Hallelujah!
GO DEEPER:
1 CORINTHIANS 10:16-17
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-25
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the body of Jesus that was broken for me so that I’ll never be broken, sick, weak, or defeated. Thank you for His blood that was shed for the remission of sins and by which I’ve become a partaker and distributor of the divine life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
