HOLY COMMUNION

I hereby sincerely and humbly pass on a strong admonition to many Christians who claim to be worthy partakers of the Lord’s Supper commonly referred to as Holy Communion; there are severe consequences if this is only performed religiously.

“For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.” (1Cor 11:29-30) NKJV

Let’s take a closer look at the phrase “unworthy manner.” Could this be referring to taking it without being baptized by water and or the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Or is it partaking in it while in a deliberate sinful lifestyle?

There is an insight into the Lord’s Supper that needs a deeper exploration. Here we are dealing with the Blood Sacrifice that was offered by God Himself through His Son Jesus Christ for the redemption of humanity. If this deeper revelation of it is never properly captured, everything done connected to it could be very disastrous!

See the terrible effect of such spiritual misconduct; “For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.”

One is not surprised seeing many Christians including the ministers who administer and partake in the Lord’s Supper have suffered from incurable ailments that led to their misery and subsequent death.     

There is therefore the necessity of “discerning the Lord’s body.” What this implies is a thorough assimilation of the entire sacrament and a clear revelation obtained through the Holy Spirit’s guidance in Jesus’ Name.
