Communion is a sacred moment where we reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice, acknowledge His love, and affirm our relationship with God. Firstly, prayers before Communion help our hearts and minds prepare; moreover, they enable us to partake in the bread and the cup thoughtfully, and consequently, deepen our spiritual connection.
Acknowledging the New Covenant
Father, we believe in your son the Lord Jesus. We believe in your amazing love for us. Father God, in the name of Jesus, we recognise that we have a covenant with you. This New Covenant was ratified by the shed blood of Jesus on the cross at Calvary. Right now, we acknowledge that Jesus bore our sins, our sicknesses, diseases, sorrows, griefs, fears, torments, un-forgiveness, strife, and lack for us. Everything on that cross. Yes, Lord, we believe that Jesus’ body was broken for us.
His precious blood was shed on our behalf. We praise and thank you for Jesus. Glory to your name. By Jesus’ stripes, we are healed in every cell, in every organ, in every function of our body. Thanks to Jesus, our youth is renewed with long life. You will satisfy us, Father. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we have total and complete redemption. We are totally delivered from the devil in every single way. We are new creations in Christ. Our freedom has been bought and paid for. Yes, we are forgiven. We are redeemed. We are free. Hallelujah. In Jesus’ name, we give you thanks.
Taking the Bread: Remembering Jesus’ Body
The Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread and After he had given thanks, he then broke it and said, ‘Take and eat,’ while also reminding them to remember him; moreover, he emphasized sharing it together, so they could unite in faith. This is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me.” We will eat now. Thank you, Father.
Taking the Cup: Celebrating the New Testament in His Blood
After the same manner also, he took the cup which 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. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come.” We take the cup in our hand and hold it up to you right now, Father. This represents the blood of the new covenant in which all our sins, past, present, and future, are all remitted. They are all forgiven through the blood of Jesus. Praise your Holy Name. Through his blood, we and our family are redeemed from every, every ancestral curse, from every single curse of the law. Let’s pray again!
Closing Prayer: Claiming Victory and New Life
Thank you, Father. As we drink now, our hearts are filled with gratitude. You are a good, good God, who gave up Your Son to remove the barrier standing between You and us. We are deeply thankful for Jesus. Above all else, we rejoice that You desire our prosperity and health, even as our soul prospers.
We proclaim a new dimension of health, a higher level of faith, and a fresh realm of energy and divine strength. Living as walking testimonies, we shine Your light to all those around us who are defeated in this world. Victory and new life are ours in Jesus. May the world come to know You. Protect, preserve, bless, and reach every single person in our family and among our friends, in the wonderful and precious name of Jesus. Amen.
