Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34
“For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh
damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this
cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep”.
1Corinthians 11:29-30 (KJV)
Millions are physically sick, some are with infirmities for over a long period of time. Unfortunately, many believers fall victim to this satanic oppression. Paul in our text told the Corinthian church that many were weak and sickly among them because they were not discerning the Lord’s body with understanding. The word “discerning”, is from the Greek word “diakrino” which means to sieve. It carries the idea of an analytical process and study which results in proper understanding and comprehension of truth; like tearing a matter apart into smaller bits for the sake of deep understanding.
A young lady had been a victim of tuberculosis. After exhausting her savings on medication, she attended our communion service. Having heard and understood the mission of the body, she partook of it. The darkness of tuberculosis was shattered as she instantly got healed not needing another dose of medication. The medicine of medicines had consumed the affliction.
We are required to comprehend the totality of what the body and the blood of Christ did for us, when we do, such benefits become our experience in the communion.
PRAYER: Open thou my eyes Lord that I may discern your body correctly.
FAITH BYTE: I refuse to be sick or suffer any form of diseases. Jesus my substitute has already borne them for me. I no longer have sickness. I am healed.
