The Holy Communion





Yesterday was the first Sunday service in the month of April and as a custom, we partook of the Holy Communion (The Body and Blood of Christ) and a brief word on its importance. However, I’ve recently acquainted myself with the meaning and implications of a covenant. Indeed, my discovery was WOW! (For more on covenants, click here).

In taking the Holy Communion, we are remembering and proclaiming the death of The Risen Christ for us (1Corinthians 11:26). We are to remember that HE broke His body for our sake; paying the price of our sins we owed yet couldn’t pay and being the substitution (sacrificial lamb as used in making a covenant) for our death penalty (1Peter 2:24). Therefore, we have been freed from all sicknesses, lack, oppression and condemnation whatsoever FOREVER IN CHRIST (Romans 8:1). And this is our proclamation to the devil.

The blood which was poured out for all signifies the new love covenant we have with God in Christ (Matthew 26:28, Hebrews 12:24). This perfects the old covenant which was unable to save us because of the Law which brought condemnation, guilt and death. God never wants us away from Him so in His love, He broke the rules, coming down in the form of men to be offered as a perfect sacrifice and atonement for our sins that we may receive salvation and the forgiveness of sins.

He gave His own life for you; for each and every one of us. And He left us with a new command: TO LOVE (John 13:34-35). Love breaks the rules for the other person! His Love has set us FREE!!



If you want to get it right with God, you want to give your life to Him or (re)dedicate your life to Christ, please say this prayer with me:

Dear Father, Lord Jesus Christ, I acknowledge that I have done wrong before You and man. I come to you today as I have nowhere else to go. I want to experience a new life in You as You’ve promised in Your Word. I accept your love for me which was displayed on the Cross. I believe that you died and resurrected and reign in Heaven. I accept you now as Lord and Savior of my life. Help me Lord in my new walk in life with You. Amen!

Congratulations! You’ve made the best choice. Please join a good church in your area which will help build you as you also build yourself with the Word of God and the with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Choosing to Live

Life can be like everything happening all at once and sometimes it can be so still and silent like you’re about to fall off the face of the earth (boring, yeah). 2019 came like a rushing wind and threw me off balance. This was the first year in my ‘must-be-organized’ life that I didn’t make any New Year plans of any sort. I just knew that I was going to need a lot of energy and endurance because I kept hearing it over and over again in my head “2019 – My year of energy”. At first, my mum laughed about it as she had never heard such but as the year took its course, I began to see that I really needed all the energy I could get. I enrolled for my professional exams this year and had to balance the classes with work and church training. Well, most days felt like ‘Are we there yet? Can I faint now?’ and sometimes I’d just go ‘Oh, whatever’ and sleep without worries. When I’d remember that I have a phone, I could just take a quick selfie and post it online to show that I’...

How Much Does Jesus Love You?

Image
We are humans and we know that we are limited in our abilities so we make provisions for such. We can call it the ‘human factor’ or ‘human error’ or whatever we want to call it. When it comes to the subject of love, we tend to also limit ourselves and also place people in our lives on different scales. One will hear questions such as ‘How much do you love me?’ or ‘If you love me then prove it!’ or ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ or ‘I’m sorry. Please don’t leave me.’ I had this mentality too. I could go the extra mile for only a very few set of people who I felt were worth it. I didn't believe that a girl like me could ever be truly and fully loved. This isn't an easy thing to carry along with you into Christianity where you’re told and you read it in your Bible and you’re expected to believe in an all-loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you… in a God who will always show up and will always forgive no matter what… in an everyday kind of lov...

The First Tool in a Trailblazer's Survival Kit

Image
A trailblazer is one who sets a standard in his/her field. A born-again Spirit-filled member of the cocoon ; a game-changer! A young person that wants to leave a Jesus-life phenomenal legacy.   However, as a trailblazer, you will certainly find yourself in a crisis situation; alone and stranded in enemy territory; situations that will have every reason to scare you to death, something we refer to as 'casala don burst'! Then, you'll be faced with the question:  HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH A CRISIS SITUATION? The journey of trailblazer is full of troubles. As a soldier (2 Timothy 2:3-4) stranded in enemy territory, you'll need a survival kit- a package of survival tools packaged to take one through an emergency usually containing food, water, a knife, etc.  The first tool in the survival kit of a trailblazer however is: CONFIDENCE IN GOD (John 14:1, Isaiah 41:10, Mark 3:3-41) When trouble comes, don't be troubled- it's not living in denial. It...
