THE DANGER OF TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION WITHOUT SEL-EXAMINATION.

THE CALLED & GLORIOUSLY PRESERVED:

AS THE LENTEN SEASON IS GRADUALLY COMING TO AN END, WE ARE TO REMIND OURSELVES OF THE DANGERS IN TAKING THE BODY OF CHRIST WITHOUT THE DUE PROCESS, OR TAKING IT IN ERROR.
TO IGNORE THE RULES GOVERNING THE HOLY COMMUNION MAY LEAD TO IRREVERSIBLE PAIN AND ANGUISH, IN OTHER WORDS IT MAY RESULT TO AN INCURABLE DISEASE, WORST OF IT ALL IT MAY RESULT TO DEATH.
1 CORINTHIANS, 11:-27-30; APOSTLE PAUL PROCLAIMED, “THEREFORE WHOEVER EATS THIS BREAD OR DRINKS THIS CUP OF THE LORD IN AN UNWORTHY MANNER WILL BE GUILTY OF THE BODY AND THE BLOOD OF THE LORD. FOR THIS REASON MANY ARE WEAK AND SICK AMONG YOU, AND MANY SLEEP.” [DIED]
THIS SELF INFLICTED WOUNDS ARE MOSTLY CAUSE BY CARELESSLY TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION WITHOUT SELF EXAMINATION. THOUGH IT IS MANDATORY FOR ALL BELIEVERS BUT IT HAS TO BE TAKING IN ACCORDANCE TO THE RULES. THE HEART MUST BE FREE OF GRUDGE AND THE MIND WITHOUT HATRED.
TO DIS-REGARD THESE RULES IS TO BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE NEGLIGENCE.
THEREFORE LET A MAN EXAMINE HIMSELF BEFORE TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION.
IN CONCLUSION:
IF THE HEART AND THE MIND ARE NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE RULES, LET US ABSTAIN FROM TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION THIS TIME SO THAT WE DO NOT EAT THE BREAD AND DRINK THE WINE WHICH REPRESENT THE BODY AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST TO OUR OWN CONDEMNATION.
PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER FOR OUR BELOVED GROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST WHO ARE BEEN PERSECUTED ON A DAILY BASIS ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN ADDITION TO OUR ONGOING PRAYERS FOR LOVE AND UNITY AMONG CHRIDT FOLLOWERS REGARDLESS ON DENOMINATION.
