RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY 4TH DECEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE HEALING POWER OF HOLY COMMUNION.
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 7: 19 ? 20.
Before His crucifixion, Jesus and His disciples gathered in the upper room to celebrate the Passover. There, they shared a meal which recalls how God liberated Israel from bondage in Egypt, crushed Pharaoh's armies, and cared for the former slaves in the wilderness until they arrived in the land He'd prepared as their home.
Every Passover at the shared meal, Jewish families retold the grand story of God's provision and rescue a reminder that God was not finished with them, that He would restore and spiritually heal their people yet again.
Offering this cup and broken bread, Jesus knew that His death would enact what the prophet Isaiah foretold that it would require His wounds if any of us were ever to be healed (Isaiah 53: 5). Though the disciples could not comprehend the meaning of His words at the time, our Saviour presented a promise to die and then to rise from the dead for them, for all of us who would believe it. When next you partake of the communion, take it with the knowledge that there is healing for you by His stripes.
ACTION POINT:
Have you received the right hand of fellowship? If not, take steps in doing so. Hence, you can partake of the communion table.
SCRIPTURES:
Isaiah 53: 5 ? 6
Luke 22: 7 ? 20.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, I receive Your healing power into my Spirit in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, I receive Your healing power into my soul in the name of Jesus.
3. God, release Your healing power into my body in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
2 Chronicle 34
Daniel 2: 1 - 23
1 John 4.
