RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL:

PARTICIPATORS IN HIS BODY AND BLOOD.
~ Sunday, June 1st -with Pastor Chris.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the
divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4).

When you're born again, not only is it your right to take the Holy Communion, it’s also compulsory. As Christians, we must take the Communion, for it's a participation in
the body and blood of Christ: “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The
bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?” (1Corinthians 10:16).
The Scripture above lets us understand that the cup of blessing is actually the
communion of the blood of Christ. It brings us into oneness with the blood
of Christ; it brings us into the unity of the Spirit. Likewise, the bread, which we break, is the communion of the
body of Christ. This means we’re participators in the body and blood of Christ. We’re sharers of His divinity.
The Bible says we participate in the divine nature—we’re associates of the God-kind (2 Peter 1:4).
We're one with the Lord. That means His victory is our victory; His ability our
ability. The Apostle Paul declares that
we’re sufficient in His sufficiency: “Not
that we are sufficient of ourselves to
think anything as of ourselves; but our
sufficiency is of God” (2 Corinthians
3:5). There’re no more impossibilities
with you, now that you're in Christ.
You’ve been brought into the life of
unending victories. Always, as you take
the Communion, be mindful of your
oneness with the Lord.
You may ask, “How about a Christian
that has sinned, can he or she partake
of the Communion?” Emphatically yes!
He should repent of his sin
immediately and not miss the
opportunity to partake of the
Communion, for His blood was shed
for the remission of sin. All God
requires is that no one should take the
Communion in an unworthy manner;
He didn’t say, “Don't take it when you
sin.” He only said, “… whosoever shall
eat this bread, and drink this cup of the
Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the
body and blood of the Lord” (1
Corinthians 11:27). We'll explain what
this means in our next study.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making
me a new creation; thus,a participator,
sharer and partaker of the divine life in
Christ. I’m forever grateful for the
blood of Jesus that was shed to cleanse
me of all unrighteousness, and His
body that was broken for me to have
life, joy and peace, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

Matthew 26:26-28
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took
bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and
gave it to the disciples, and said, Take,
eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave
thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for many for
the remission of sins.
1 Thessalonians 5:5
Ye are all the children of light, and the
children of the day: we are not of the
night, nor of darkness.
