TOPIC: ALWAYS REFILL VII

MEMORIZE: For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. John 6:55

MESSAGE

As I conclude this series, I want you to know that you can also be refilled spiritually through the Holy Communion.

In John 6:48-51, Jesus said, “If you eat My flesh, you are eating the bread of life.” In other words, He was saying, “The bread of life is My body.” When you eat the body of Christ, you are eating a body that is full of virtue and the anointing of the Holy Spirit; you are taking all that virtue into yourself.

If you take the Holy Communion worthily, there is no way your spiritual battery won’t be recharged.

When the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, He said that virtue had gone out of Him (Mark 5:25-34).

When you eat the bread, you are eating virtue because it symbolises the body of Christ.

The wine of the Holy Communion, which symbolises the blood of Jesus, contains the very life of Jesus (Leviticus 17:11).

Colossians 2:9 says, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Therefore, taking His life into you by drinking the wine of the Holy Communion is taking in the fullness of the Godhead into yourself, provided you drink the wine worthily.

In ancient Yorubaland, if traditional medicine men were consulted to heal people who were really sick and were at the point of death, they would usually ask the relatives of the dying fellow to bring his or her clothes and an effigy that represents him or her, among some other things.

They would then wear the fellow’s clothes on the effigy and take it to the centre of the town very late at night.

If someone else sees the effigy as he or she is passing by, the sick fellow would live, and the one who saw the effigy will die.

The elders would say that the life of the fellow who came out at night to see what he or she shouldn’t have seen has been substituted for the life of the dying fellow.

This is an attempt of the devil to copy God’s principle of substitution.

Beloved, when you take the Holy Communion worthily, your weaknesses are taken away, and you receive the strength of Christ.

You receive His life and substitute all your weaknesses for His unending, limitless power.

Eat the flesh of Jesus and drink His blood regularly; He will recharge your spiritual battery and provide you with the strength and power to fulfil His purpose for your life.

KEY POINT

The Holy Communion refills you and recharges your spiritual battery when you take it worthily.

 

HYMN 10:

IN CHRIST ALONE

1. In Christ alone my hope is found;

He is my light, my strength, my song;

this Cornerstone, this solid ground,

firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace

when fears are stilled, when strivings cease;

my Comforter, my All in All;

here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone who took on flesh;

fullness of God in helpless babe.

This gift of love and righteousness

scorned by the ones He came to save;

’til on that cross as Jesus died

the wrath of God was satisfied;

for ev’ry sin on Him was laid;

here in the death of Christ I live.

3. There in the ground His body lay;

Light of the world by darkness slain.

Then bursting forth in glorious day,

up from the grave He rose again!

And as He stands in victory,

sin’s curse has lost its grip on me;

for I am His and He is mine,

bought with the precious blood of Christ!

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death;

this is the pow’r of Christ in me.

From life’s first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man

can ever pluck me from His hand;

’til He returns or calls me home,

here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand!
