THEME: THE NEW TESTAMENT IN HIS BLOOD

SUNDAY 4TH NOVEMBER 2018

PASTOR CHRIS

OPENING SCRIPTURE: After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me (1 Corinthians 11:25).

When the Lord Jesus gave Himself for us, it wasn’t just the blood of a natural man that was shed, because His life didn’t come from the first Adam; His life came from the Word (John 1:14 NKJV). His life was divine; His shed blood was divine; He gave up His divine life for us. So, when He said, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11:25), He meant that all the provisions of the New Testament are sealed in, and guaranteed by, His blood.

Your life and your future have a guarantee in the blood of Jesus. In your life, all the provisions of His vicarious death, burial, and resurrection, have become a reality. There’s nothing in life that you could ever want that His blood doesn’t cover. That’s why the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:21, declares unequivocally, “...all things are yours. Hallelujah!

He’s given you strength, wisdom, courage, health, and so much more. He’s taken everything of darkness away from you, and translated you into His marvellous light.
Your riddance; your severance from darkness to light, from the pains, misery, and negativities of life into the glorious kingdom of His love-Son was through His blood. Colossians 1:13-14 says He “…hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.”

You’re guaranteed to succeed; you’re a victor for life; your prosperity is guaranteed. Have this consciousness when you partake of the Communion, or whenever you drink the cup. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for my triumphant life, and excellent future, guaranteed in the blood of Jesus. I refuse to fear or listen to the voice of doubt, and unbelief, because the dreams that you’ve put in my heart are coming to fruition. I’m guaranteed to succeed; I’m guaranteed to prosper and I’m victorious forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 5:6‭-‬8
6. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

I John 5:11‭-‬12
11. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; 12. He who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Romans 3:21‭-‬25
21. But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
22. Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
23. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24. Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25. When God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
