What is Holy Communion?

WHAT IS THE HOLY COMMUNION?

Holy Communion which is also known as the Lord's supper, the night before Jesus was betrayed by Judas, he took some bread (referred to as his Body) and some wine (referred to as his Blood) and shared it with his disciples about the new covenant which is the cup. Whenever we partake in Holy Communion, we should come before Jesus with a thankful and gratitude heart and remember what He did for us on the cross. He suffered for us, he was beaten, he took all our shame and sin, so that we can live a life guilt free, sin free. It wasn't easy for Jesus. But  He did this because he Loved us so much that he winningly gave his life for us so that we can live. 
Jesus loving instruction is that we are to remember Him as we partake of the Holy Communion. Jesus wanted us conscious of how His body was broken for our wholeness, and His blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins. And whenever we partake in this consciousness, we “proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26).
Today, when we partake of the bread, we are declaring that Jesus’ health and divine life flows in our mortal bodies. And when we partake of the cup, we are declaring that we are forgiven and have been made righteous. Jesus’ blood gives us right standing before God, and we can go boldly into God’s presence (Hebrews 4:16). When we pray, we can be sure that God hears us!

Living a purpose driven Life

Image
As a Christian, as a disciple of Jesus Christ, we all need to have a purpose, vision for our life. Because without a purpose, vision for our life, this life means nothing. It's like living a life that is meaningless. When Jesus came to this world, his purpose was to show us the Father, that our Father, God is not angry with us instead he is full of Love and mercy, slow to get angry and always loving us. Jesus came to the earth to destroy the power of sin and darkness so that we can have live and be reconciled with the Father. That was his mission and he fulfilled it. So what is the purpose of your life? As a follower of Jesus, and because we have been saved by God's grace and we know Jesus as our Lord and saviour, it our duty and responsibility to tell others about Jesus. because if we don't tell them who will tell them. As for me I want to tell everyone about Jesus, about how much he loves me and what he has done for me. I will not be ashamed to tell others about Jes

Series on Psalm 23 - The famous Psalm by King David

Image
Psalm 23 is one of the most famous Psalm written by King David, which talks about how our God is a good shepherd to us, providing, protecting us, giving us rest when we need it.  I just love it. Infact I've memorised the whole Psalm by heart. King David had a heart after God and because he was always in the presence of God, he knew and he'd tasted the goodness of God and writes this Psalm. Great Psalm. Pastor Kevin Gore from Grace Evangelical Church, started a series on Psalm 23, focusing only on 1 verse each sunday, and explaining and digging deeper into each verse which was really a blessing. I've listed below all the series from Psalm 23 shared by Pastor Kevin. 1. The Lord is my Shepherd - Series 1 Verse 1: The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Pastor Kevin shares his sermon from verse 1 about how our God, Jesus is a good shepherd. Because Jesus is our good shepherd, he makes sure that we (his people) have everything we need. everything means everything. Have ev

Who is the Holy Spirit

Image
In John 16, Jesus refers to the Spirit as a "Counselor" who will guide us in our everyday lives. One way he'll guide us is by convicting us of sin (16:8). And this is really a good thing: God wants us to get rid of the things that displease him, and the only way to identify those things is to be convicted by the Spirit. The Spirit works through our conscience to make us aware of sin in our lives. In other word, Holy Spirit is like our friend, he's our guide, he wants to spend time with us. He wants to have fellowship with us. He wants to to be with us in every moment of our lives. That's his desire. He longs to spend time with us.  But unless we let the Holy Spirit come into our heart, Holy Spirit won't forcefully come and reside in our heart. We need to invite our Holy Spirit into our lives everyday.  Fruits of the Holy Spirit.  Galatians 5:22-23 says,  But the fruit  of the Spirit is love,  joy, peace,  forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithful
