THE COMMUNION: A KEY PILLAR TO A VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIVING

The Communion or the act of breaking bread is a key pillar for a victorious Christian life. This is one of the activities that should regularly take place in a Bible-believing Church. When I was a young and growing Christian, one of the things that gripped my mind was the breaking of bread. I did not understand the doctrinal aspects or the revelation of the breaking of bread until a friend enlightened me. My friend constantly broke bread over different issues in his life, and I saw the Lord solve problems and issues that he broke bread over, no matter what the case was. It had become a practice for him.

In my parents’ church, you had to go through a process known as “confirmation” before you could partake in Communion. Different churches have their procedures, but every Christian should understand that the Holy Communion is a special practice. People in this generation have put a lot of embellishments on the Bible's teaching on the Communion, but that doesn’t diminish its power.

I continued the practice of breaking bread over issues even after I got married. My wife and I always break bread when we find ourselves in a tight spot over issues, and God always comes through. The quality of the bread or wine makes no difference. There were times that I used some leftover biscuits and water as Holy Communion elements, and it worked.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You reveal to me the power in the breaking of bread this day. I will enjoy a victorious Christian living in Jesus' name. Amen!
