Brought Jesus to die on the tree.
Sing His love, His love for me, His bringing me your heart to
glory one day. One day, one day,

Praise the Lord. There is another song which says
His love for me brought Jesus to act as my Savior.
His love for me brought Jesus to die on the tree.
His love for me is bringing me nearer to glory.
One day I will know of the depth of His love.
Amen. Amen.
We want to inform the House that by the grace of God, our
resident minister and their wife are in our Mace in the person of
Pastor Emmanuel and Mrs. Elizabeth or say Akorsa, Amen.
On this note, we want to humbly invite our dear Pastor to
minister the Word of God unto us.
Shall we welcome him? With a clap of
May. The grace and peace for our
Father and our Savior Jesus Christ be with us all and we
thank God so much for the grace to be here and to also share
fellowship and to dine at the Lost table together.
Amen. Before we dine with the Lord, we
are looking at the topic discerning the Lord's body,
discerning the Lord's body.
We read from First Corinthians 11/29, First Corinthians 11/29,
and we also read from Matthew 26, seven to 13.
That one is another story that I want to read.
There are a couple that will be reading as and when we go on,
but our main text is the First Corinthians 11/29 11:29, 1129.
So read from the NIV. Also read from the new King
James, there is a word that I will show you.
So from the and I for those who eat and drink without descending
the body of Christ, eat and drink judgment on themselves.
Let's pick it from the new King James, please, if you have it.
For he who eats and drinks in a worthy manner eats and drinks
judgment to himself. For not discerning the Lord's
body. The Lord's body, So for you eats
and drinks in an unworthy manner, eats and drinks judgment
to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
Amen. Let's go to Matthew 26, seven to
13. I read from the NIV.
A woman came to him with an alabaster jar of an of very
expensive perfume which she poured on his head as he was
reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this,
they were indignant. Why this wastes?
They asked. This perfume could have been
sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, why are you bothering this
woman? She has done a beautiful thing
to me. So here to you see why sometimes
we keep on switching some of the additions, some of them hide
things. OK so this one says that she has
done a beautiful thing to me. Look who captured in another.
So look at the new King James for she has done a good work for
me. Beautiful thing and good, good
work. Next verse please.
Next verse verse 11. The poor you always have with
you, but you will not always have me.
Go on, when she poured this perfume on my body, she did it
to prepare me for burial. Truly, I tell you, wherever this
gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done
will also be told in memory of her.
Amen. So the First Corinthians 11/29,
there is a textual difference there.
One of them says that descending the Lord's body, the other one
is saying the body of Christ. So when you read it, you may be
wondering, are you referring to the universal body of Christ as
the church or the literal body of Christ that was hanged on the
cross? These two, if you don't take
care, it can sound confusing. So theologians have agreed that
it could mean both. It could mean both.
So Paul was actually referring to either the body, the literal
body of Christ that was nailed on the cross, the body that you
and I, we have some, or the body as the Church of Christ.
But we will we will we will add both and then single.
There was an issue with the church at Corinth.
The church there at Corinth they were spiritually endowed, but
they had problems. There are lots of issues from
left to right. So poor had to write to set
things in order that these things you shouldn't do.
So the first thing that Paul was writing to correct about the
lost table was the one they did not distinguish the lost table
from the other table. Thank God that today we have a
lot of tables here. So my example were fit.
They didn't know the difference between this table and the other
one. So they were approaching the the
lost table as they would approach any other table.
So Paul was not saying that what they were doing was very serious
because to eat and not discerning the lost body means
that they come to the lost table and not honoring the Lord.
So the table set here is different from the table in
front of us that we will be doing because what will be said
before us, they are different and the reason for setting them
up to are different. So Paul was saying that you need
to discern the lost table. Don't come there and eat anyhow,
some were coming there to eat to, you know, feel their stomach
because then their bread was not this kind of small compressed
with fathered witty who they were doing proper bread.
So people were now rushing, not thinking about what was said
before them or giving reverence to the Lord who's suffering
purchased the table for them. So they were just rushing,
rushing to get a bigger size of the bread.
So everybody was now rushing Chalimanian in Tema, their bread
could finish. So they were all rushing,
pushing that I, I want to get the bigger parts.
And by so doing they were dishonouring the Lord, and they
miss the good thing that had there and then the other side of
the body of Christ. They did not also descend 1.
School. Combines these two thoughts and
says that the other one, the body of Christ, they did not
descend the interrelationship between the believers in the
body of Christ. So there was some kind of the
poor should wait when the rich finished eating, then the poor
will come. So there was that segregation.
You are poor, Jinaha, you are rich.
Oh come, come, come, come. So Paul was in their thought.
They are saying that Paul was addressing the issues in two
folds. But thanks be to God that
nowadays is the same cup, is the same quantity, is the same small
compressed circular wafer. What I take is the same as
yours. No, it's the same thing.
So the Corinthian church, there was that behavior going on and
Paul wrote this to correct that the body of Jesus we should
descend. So whilst I was thinking about
someone who would give us a very good example of discerning the
Lord's body, then the woman who poured the perfume on the Lord's
body came to my mind. So the action by that woman by
breaking an expensive alabaster box could be seen as one person
who would truly descend the body of Christ of Jesus for barrier.
So As for the lost body, it is there many people encountered
him in several ways. But this woman's action,
thoughts, behavior, outcome could also give us a model that
we can follow even as we approach the table of the Lord.
To descend means that to separate, to distinguish, to
descend one thing from another. Another great theologian says
that the lost body for him, the lost body, he was referring to
the literal body, and we need to appreciate the body by receiving
or coming to the table with thankfulness and thanking him
and appreciating the selling. The lost body is also our
reverence response to the sacrifice of our Savior.
So to descend the lost body means that you don't come to the
lost table anyhow, but you come as a response.
Your expression is what reverence to what He has done
for us. So approaching the table, not as
any other table, but with reverence, much gratitude.
So when we come to this table, we are come with gratitude.
Lord, I thank you that once I was a Sinner saved by grace.
That should be our hearts that we express to the Lord.
We should also express our affection in response to the
death of the Savior. We should come and know that the
Lord has done something great for me.
Why I was Once Upon a time a Sinner condemned, nobody would
like you, but because of the death and the table he has
presented. Now we are called the beloved of
the law. This is how we should approach
and descend the law's table when we also approaching and
discerning, we acknowledge that the table has been set through
the death and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
This table has been set through the pains, excruciating pains,
through the sufferings, through the death that he established
this table for us. So it is not by ourselves, but
someone, our Savior did it for us and we need to be thankful to
him. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah.
Oh, I said Hallelujah one time, David, David, you let me also
link it to how you can draw that correlation between a table and
the toils of someone who has set it even at home when you come
home and your wife has toiled, someone has toiled us today we
are going to we have another table set before us to come and
sheer fellowship love feast the the team behind it.
They have worked, they have worked and after they have
worked, you come and you sit behind and you do your face
somehow and you dip a finger in the food and at a taste no salt.
And the one who told is standing there right beside you.
The way the person go look your hair, you don't take care.
The person will slap you. Why the person has toiled.
Sometimes mines will cut our fingers.
The the saddest part is that you will cry without receiving any
lashes. Onions can make you cry.
Onions or you're very good the the moment you come through, no,
you cry or beyond mobile, you are crying in the kitchen and
look at this describing we have gas.
If you go to the to the villages and have the, the half the three
stones and they put in some wood and other things, the smoke
alone. The moment your wife is done
with the food, she will come with a perfumed body from the
hair to the clothes to the skin nuisance.
And after they have told and run around to present your food,
just come and eat it with a heart full of gratitude.
Then at home my sons will come and see that mommy will not eat.
The movement could feel open pussy.
They will not eat. Come and see us of mommy.
I said I can't be a beshen when he brought me pray and said to
me, yeah, anyway, do you have any idea?
I don't like this food. I said, Crano Panason, you don't
like this food. Do you know how this table came?
And also of Miami would talk and talk and in the end we have to
come and convince them, hey, this food it has this, it has
that. This is the real food.
We Adrian via Candide and Papa eat this food.
So now your anger will turn into a lecture.
Then you have to lecture them as to why they then then after that
long back and forth, they will not attempt the endocrown you.
They will now going to attempt to see.
Then you look at the face and the face bites.
Oh the way they do their face. So it's the same thing Jesus had
to suffer not just a cutting of knives or with things.
Sometimes the vapor from the soup and the Stew, it can harm
your skin and any time I come home and I see salt on the body
of us of Mami, then it means that BBH Cheryl truly members
are all the vapor, all the the stove, all that and she has to
quickly get some salt and apply it so that it cannot spread
through the entire skin. Look at the extent.
So when I come and I eat, all that I have to tell my wife is
thank you. Why?
Because wow, me cooking is a well together, is a whole mood,
is a whole trip. I can be thinking about it for a
week cooking. So I find it very hard.
So if you cook for me, I have to thank you because you have
worked in the same way. The Lord has set a table before
us. This one he had to squeeze his
blood. This one, his body had to be
lacerated. The body got torn the back it
could have been that it was exposed to the point that you
could see sometimes the ribs Jesus had to wear crown of
thongs. Jesus had to suffer and and
nothing is that that day Jesus did not eat.
Why? Because of the table.
Look at the the beautiful thing Jesus told them that I will not
drink this wine with you. We'll be looking at the
eschatological implication of this table.
We'll get there and you see, so Jesus, that was the last food he
ate. The God is why some people say
the Last Supper and some to say the Lord's Supper.
So we are referring to this table when Jesus was presenting,
it was his last and it became a table.
So Jesus, he suffered, truly he suffered to present us this
food. At first when we got married,
anytime a most of mother would give me food, I would say thank
you, always thank you, always thank you.
Then one day she reminded me when we married, at first he was
saying thank you, even to the to some, yes.
But now you don't say thank you. I'm saying yeah, Ebu, I'm sorry.
Thank you for all the difficulties that she has been
through. So, men, when you come and your
wife gives you food, please thank her because she has
suffered. Amen.
Hallelujah. So that is the rationale behind
discerning the laws body. Now you will not see the
physical body now, but how you approach the attitude, the
gratitude, your perception, everything.
How you come to this table. Is this another way of
discerning the laws body and afterwards what you will do
after the laws table within the body of Christ?
It's also another way of discerning the law's body.
Let me give you example. David's mighty men.
One day David said that he wants the, he wants water from the
well at the gate of Bethlehem. You can find that text from
Second Samuel 2317. Second Samuel 2370 So it says
that, oh, how am I so long for the water at the well of the
gate of Bethlehem. By that time the Philistines had
occupied that gate. David, and so that ensued, 1 of
it. So Davis.
Three mighty men, they risked their lives, and they went
through and broke through. So when they came with the
water. Verse 17 David did not drink it,
and he said, OK, let's go to the vest before 16.
So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the
Philistines, drew the water from the well of Bethlehem that was
by the gates, and took it and brought it to David and brought
it to David. Nevertheless, he will not drink,
but pour it out to the Lord next verse.
For he said that far it be from me, O Lord, that I should do
this. Is this not the blood of the men
who went in jeopardy of their lives?
Therefore he will not drink it. These were done by the three
mighty men. So David is saying that by
extension, if I drink the water, it's like drinking their blood.
So whatever somebody risk his life to produce can be
equivalent to the life of that individual.
So by extension, the lost table is as precious as the body and
the blood from the cross. So the table here was purchased
through the blood and the body and the sacrifice on the
crossroad. If you come to the table anyhow,
you are not discerning the body of Christ.
That was the analogy or understanding that Paul brings
to us from first Corinthians 11 verse 29.
So this table is very important. And when we come to the table,
the VIP at the table is Jesus Christ Himself.
No other person. We don't matter.
It is only Him who is the most important person, and to him we
owe everything. That is what the woman did for
Jesus at the table. She distinguished the Law's body
from any other body when Jesus visited them at the table.
We need to always give Jesus Christ our best and unknowingly
to her, what she was doing was a prebarrier, anointing and
preparing Jesus Christ for the tomb or for the cross.
So what the woman did was acknowledged by Christ.
So people do not simply give their valuable things unless
there is a cause or there is a motivation.
The woman in the story identified the conditions and
everything, and motivated by Jesus, his love for Him, she
offered it. So what does the lost table mean
to you? What does the lost table mean to
you? Let's examine the response of
the woman when she descend that the Messiah in Jesus.
At the table she offered her best to the body of Christ.
When she descended as her response, she offered her best.
When you're coming to the table, offer your best.
Even when you're invited by His Excellency Dramani Muhammad to
come for a lunch at the Jubilee House.
Everybody who here true of us, they're planning that will go
into the selection of the dress. For US men, it will take us a
day. For the women, take them one
month to plan an attack. You don't even sleep.
You wake up early in the morning or even be rehearsing.
If you are going to dine with Prince Charles or King Charles,
you have to be taught. You will be schooled on the
etiquettes how to dine with Royals.
You have to be taught and be groomed even how to greet the
king, how to bow, how to welcome him, how to turn your neck, how
to look at him. They will screw you.
Keno, how much more coming to the table of the king?
At the table the king is always there, because no king will
throw you a banquet and will be absent.
So when you come to the lost table, His name is there, so He
is present. The elements, you see that they
represent Him, but He comes, He shows up.
So when you are coming to the King, that is why we say the
Lord Supper, prayers, preparatory prayers.
Why do we do that? Because we prepare to dine with
the Lord everywhere in the Scripture, when the Lord was
descending to come into their midst, you say that they should
prepare to meet Him. Prepare to meet your God.
So in the same way, don't just come without consciously
preparing your mindset that I am going to the presence of a king,
I'm going to a table that was purchased by him and therefore I
need to go prepared. If going to meet His Excellency
Draman Mahama, you have to prepare and prepare and prepare.
Then coming to the lost table will require even much more.
Hallelujah. So offer your best, offer your
best. When you come, you need to
prepare. Come with a clean heart,
prepare, offer your best. Offering your best does not end
here or that does not come here. It goes to you everywhere you
are. And you need to offer your best
of character, your best of everything to the whole world.
The woman's expression of devotion when she descend Jesus
at the table. Let's look at how she expressed
her devotion. She brought out a beautiful
alabaster jar and the content was an expensive perfume.
The ESV described as pure nut or a perfume oil.
Those were used for solemn acts of devotion and it was used to
anoint guests. Some were used for many other
things. So when she descend the Law's
body, the Law's body, she came with a very pure thing.
May we come to the lost table with a pure heart.
That was from the ESV Steady Bible, please not, not from the
ESV text. Sorry about that.
So there were some hindrances in Ipano, Assam.
The disciples. This woman was a bold woman
because she has to breakthrough the the to go to a table
dominated by men and to identify Jesus at the table required so
much. Required so much.
Then the disciples, our fellow believers, especially Judas.
What a waste. He could have been sold.
What a waste. So she expressed her love after
discerning the Lord's body. Something will do you, you
express it. As for her, she expressed by
giving something special to Jesus after discerning the
Lord's body. You cannot live for yourself.
You must live for Jesus. You must do what?
Live for Jesus. That was what she did.
And when you want to do something for the Lord, or after
descending the Lord's body, don't confer with flesh and
blood. Paul says that when he had the
call, he did not immediately confer with flesh and blood.
Why? Because they would discourage
you. That was from one of the
apostles of Jesus, Judas, the finance minister.
This the in fact discouraging the the woman from expressing
her love after discerning So after descending the lost body
here expresses. Some will come at you and say
the other with Tinuana. Don't mind them, you have seen
something they have not seen. When you encounter Jesus, your
output expressions will be different.
Hallelujah. Some have identified this woman
as Mary, the brother of Lazarus. It was that same man who sat at
the feet of Jesus whilst Martha was busy preparing another
table. Mary was sitting with Jesus.
No wonder she was moved. You can see that probably the
way Jesus loved them and brought their brother back, back to life
and what she saw in Jesus listening to her motivated her
to do what she did for Jesus. So she was motivated by her love
for Christ. And as a result, Jesus says that
wherever the gospel is preached, what this man has done will also
be said that she did it. The purpose for expressing her
sacrifice of her sacrifice was to prepare the body of Jesus for
barrier. That was where she descended the
body. She descend the body.
You need to look beyond this small table and it's not about
the size of the table. Our table can be small, but the
weights on the table is what really speaks.
So the purpose is to prepare Jesus for his barrier, to
prepare Jesus for his barrier. Look, not this.
Jesus is the anointed 1 Messiah. Anointed, in fact he was.
He was filled with the Holy Spirit in the womb and Jesus
took the form of body from a woman.
And no wonder that to let the body go through suffering, she
was anointed by a woman. So there was somebody who needed
to anoint him to prepare his body, but who would catch that
revelation to do it? It was someone who descend the
lost body. Who did that?
May we descend the lost body. Oh, if you're here, give me a
bigger Amen. Amen.
So Jesus himself said that she has poured this perfume on my
body to prepare for barrier. So his body needed to prepare
for barrier because his body will not decay.
The other woman went there on the Sabbath day on the first day
of the week to go and then perfume his body again.
But when they got there, they were late.
Anything you have to do for the Lord, do it fast, because the
opportunity may not be there forever.
Mary caught that opportunity and she did it and anointed the body
of Christ before her for for His barrier.
Jesus said that the woman has done a good thing for him, a
good thing for him Today you may not see his physical body, but
whatever you are doing for someone in the body of Christ,
you are also doing a good thing for the body of Christ.
Do something good and Jesus will thank you to today.
You may not see him and anoint him with with the expensive one,
but as you are doing it for the the least amongst us, you are
doing a good thing for Him and Jesus will thank you for that
good thing. Hallelujah.
Let the good thing that you are doing for Jesus be the good name
you portray out there. Do a good thing for the Lord, Do
a good work for the Lord. The occasion was just once was
rare. It will not be OK when Jesus
said that. As for the poor, you always
have, but As for me, you will not have.
So the woman identify and seize the moment.
And she did it. She broke her expensive
alabaster jar and she did it for the Lord today.
Don't hoard it, break it. Oh, you didn't hear me today.
Don't hoard the good things you have, break them in the name of
the Lord, and the Lord will bless you to you.
Jesus, he did not. He did not keep his life to
himself, He broke it. So anyone who follows his
example of sacrifice and given you, move him to your behalf.
Sacrifice, then give him. May we continually sacrifice
even the tables before us. If you go to our page, some
people sacrifice for this table to be here.
True or false. You see the name there?
Elder and the dickness Unni. Elder and Unni and I must be
human and I'm in Kahun and I'm minister of Mami Kahun.
The way to rejoin. So when we are sacrificing every
day. So even this table, somebody
took money from the pocket for it to be here.
Jesus, He didn't just take money, He took his life to make
the table a reality for you. So may we thank Him and descend
as Mary did for her. Hallelujah.
Oh, I said Hallelujah. So now when we descend the
Lord's body, let us offer a sweet smelling aromatic memorial
sacrifice to the Lord. Amen.
Oh, I said Amen. Because of our time, I will run
to is quite a longer 1, so I will run to the final part.
The eschalogical eschatological implication of the laws table.
Implications of the laws table. Let us read from Luke chapter
2215 following Luke 2215 following.
Let's take this one from there, NLT.
There's a particular way there I want to have ambly bring to
attention. Then you end, Jesus said.
Listen to this as I try to end, Jesus said.
I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you
before my suffering begins. Let's go on, for I tell you now
that I won't eat this meal. Look at the this referring to
that day, this meal again until its full meaning is fulfilled in
the Kingdom of God. Then he took a cup of wine and
gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, take this and
share it among yourselves, for I will not drink wine again until
the Kingdom of God has come. Next verse please.
He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it.
Then he broke it in peace and gave it to the disciples,
saying, This is my body, which is what given to you.
Do this to Remember Me. After supper, he took another
cup of wine and said This cup is the new covenant between God and
his people, an agreement confirmed with my blood, which
is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
There is a story here. So you will be wondering how
many cups did Jesus speak or you didn't see it?
I intentionally read this Boko so that you will see it.
He took a cup. The first was a cup, then he
took another cup. OK, this same text.
Let's read it from the new King James and see.
Look at how the King James qualified the cup.
King James says the cup, so it means there was a particular cup
there. If you read the historical
things behind the table, they were expecting the Messiah to
come. So whenever they eat the
Passover meal, there is always a particular cup that is tanned
Yebutuno. So there are other cups, there
are several cups, but there's a particular cup that is always
turned upside down. And when Jesus had given them
the initial drink with any cup, then he, he broke the bread for
them, referring to himself. Then finally he took that cup,
the cup that is always, I don't know if it's always set in the
middle or in the left or right, but there's always a cup there
referring to the Messiah's cup. So when Jesus took the cup, he
was referring to himself that I am the Messiah who has come.
So the table that Jesus was setting 1.
He says that I've been very eager.
This, this was not the first time he was eating the Passover.
He had been eating probably for that.
This would have been the third one or who knows.
And he would say that he was eager to eat this last one with
the why? Because he was fading away the
Passover and he was instituting a new covenant in his blood.
Also, he was eager because that will be the last one he's going
to eat with them. That will be the last meal.
I will not eat this meal again. Meaning that he had been eaten
until his meaning has been fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.
So eschatologically, it means that if this is the last one
Jesus is eating, then there will be a first one in the Kingdom
who will eat with Him. So if you don't participate in
this table, this one is a dress rehearsal.
We are rehearsing on earth how to dine with him in the Kingdom,
and there's a table there he has set for us.
So you will not eat this meal again until in the new Kingdom.
And then he also said that he took the cup and gift us and say
that take this share among yourself.
I will not drink wine again. I will not.
So there's another wine we will drink with the Lord.
So we will not drink earthly wine at this table forever.
Need to be any of this wine. A day's coming, we'll be going
to taste the eternal, the heavenly wine.
I don't know how it will feel when it's going down your
throat. I don't know the feeling it will
create in your mouth. I don't know how it if it will
create a it will be sweet. A bed upon a bed upon the reason
why these little guys love Christmas and those nice things
that the food and the atmosphere, everything, it
creates a memory in their mind and they want to really leave it
again. So Jesus was saying by this last
time there's going to be another one.
That one, when you taste it, you enjoy.
So as we come here eschatologically, we are
thinking that we are doing this in anticipation of a better wine
that is yet to come. We are tasting this bread, but
there is a bread in eternity in heaven, where Jesus is going to
give to us. So when you are coming to the
table, prepare your mind eschatologically that a day is
coming. It will be your Last Supper.
Help improve. A day will come, everybody.
This table might be your Last Supper before you die.
So that is why sometimes when people are sick at home they see
that, bring me some, let me eat some.
Probably that will be the last one before the transition to
meet the original 1. The original 1 is there, and
Jesus would give to us to have a bite and a taste.
So this table is not saying that I will not drink it again.
He was facing out, the old was going away and was instituting
the Lost Supper for us. May we come with this heart that
we are thanking Him eschatologically.
It's also important that as we die at the Lost Table, we are
thinking of the glorious feast in heaven.
That table is set. The chairs are there.
Our names have been put on a chair.
The chairs have been labeled. What is waiting is that there's
somebody at the gates waiting to hear the trumpet call so that
they will assemble all the Saints together to enter that.
Hall. And to go and dine with the Lord
Jesus, that when Jesus was sit at the table, at the head of
that table. So what we are doing here is in
anticipation. So if you don't come to this
table, do you think you can go to that one up there?
I had the Akran Ujani Nasro. So don't run away.
Descend it well and come and do it.
A word of caution to those at the table.
Judas too came to the table. Judas Iscariot, he was also
present at the table on Earth. So another word is that the fact
that you come to this table does not guarantee your position at
the table in heaven called Judas.
He was at the table, but he betrayed Jesus Christ.
So a word of question. If you don't take care, you will
taste the earthly table, but you miss the heavenly table.
May we not miss it? Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
At the table, opportunities abound.
It was at the same table that Judas was looking for
opportunity to betray Jesus. Whilst people were looking for
opportunity to anoint His body, Judas was looking for the
opportunity to betray the Lord. It was at the same table that
Jesus taught the disciples. He washed his their feet.
He washed the feet of all of them.
Peter said the Lord don't do not just my feet, the whole body and
Jesus said that anyone who has taken a bath does not need to
bath again, but to wash the feet.
So the preaching and everything they had heard from Jesus meant
that they were clean and was teaching them that do same.
You called me master, master, master, you called me teacher
and I'm doing this. Make sure you do that.
So at the last table, if you descend him very well, we serve.
We serve at the table of the Lord.
We don't go there to Lord it over.
He said that the people of this world, they Lord it over their
followers, but not here. Jesus said I'm not here and
Yamaha may hide the over some. So he told them that go and do
likewise. Go and do what?
Likewise. So at the table when you dine
with him, you have to go and serve.
After dining, you must be unleashed.
Oh, you didn't hear me. After dining.
He taught them a valuable lesson to serve one another.
So after dining, the effects from the table is that you have
nothing but to go and save. Husbands will save our wives.
Wives will save our husbands. Children will serve parents.
Parents will serve children. Church members will serve God
well. We will serve God at our
workplaces. We will serve God when we are
looking at the figures before us.
We will serve God when we are fixing prices on our product.
We will serve God by doing everything right.
We will serve God by not selling bad things to people in the name
of class. Adya Otaman and your parents.
Not one more final. Are you serving God?
Let us serve God who end with Paul.
He say that anyone who eats and drink this cup in an unworthy
manner eats and drinks judgments upon themselves.
So Paul was emphatic that that is how many people are weak and
I'll for not descend. So if you don't descend the lost
table, well, you will be judged, you will be judged, you will be
judged. So eventually Judas who spoke
against the woman who descend the lost table, was the one who
could not descend the lost table, that the Lord's body and
betrayed him with pieces of silver.
So if you feel to descend the Lord at his table, you will
betray him. Look at the example of Judas.
And even now Paul is saying that that is where many are weak and
people have even died. So people have even died.
So if you come to the lost table and you don't take it serious,
the Lord is serious. The Lost Supper is not to be
taken lightly because it's a new covenant that cost Jesus his
life. Enacting the new covenant, It
cost him his life. Don't let us come as a
meaningless ritual every month. Be a cause.
So now people have used it as their first.
Oh, this is the first Sunday. Also today we'll go to the
luster. Also today we'll do this.
So now it's becoming a ritual. So the moment you go, just make
yourself pious, sanctimonious. Don't let your feet even touch
the ground. He wants a good heart from you.
So it's not how you walk. So pious.
Oh, Jesus. Oh, Sokoto.
Mama. No, no.
He wants your heart to be that. He wants your heart to be
humble. He wants your heart to come to
him with reference. And the fear that this table.
Jesus, Oba, I've told you that no king throws a banquet and
he's absent. He comes, he shows up.
Shall we be on our feet? Shall we be on our feet?
May the Lord help us so that this table here, the essence is
to strengthen our faith. The key thing is what?
Strengthen our faith. So if you are coming and you are
not coming in a wealthy manner because you're not descending
the lost table and his body, well, we are praying to the Lord
that Lord forgive us if we have not descend your body and we
have behaved anyhow, have mercy upon us.
Lift up your voice and you know, pray to the Lord, begin to pray
to the we are asking God to forgive us that many a times we
don't even prepare ourselves. We don't plan, we don't come
with a prepared heart, a heart of gratitude and thankfulness.
Let us ask God, forgive us Lord, have mercy over us.
Have mercy over us. The number of times we have not
come to your table well prepared.
We don't descend you at the table that it is through your,
the purchase of your blood that you have purchased this for us.
Forgive us Lord, forgive us Lord.
We want to thank the Lord that He has done this for us.
We are discerning the Lord's body by thanking Him, by
acknowledging that He paid it. He paid the price for us to have
this table. The Lord set this table before
us by offering His only Son as a sacrifice.
Let us thank Him. Open your mouth and begin to
thank the Lord. Open your mouth and will thank
the Lord to us. Let the Lord hear that you are
so. Lord for thank you, Lord.
For what I have done for. You Lord for.
We are forever thankful. Father sending holy thank.
You Lord to. Come and die for us.
Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
Father, we appreciate.
Lord, if I. Thank you.
We thank you, Father. We thank you, Lord.
We thank you, Lord, we thank. You, Father.
Lord, we thank you. Lord, we thank you, Father.
In the name of. Jesus.
We are praying to thank the Lord for what He has done for us by
sending His holy begotten Son. For God so loved the world that
He gave us His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him
will not perish, but have everlasting life.
So they won't be intentional in thanking God for his only Son,
that through Him we have access to the table, through Him we
have access to Him. Let us lift up our voice.
I'm going to thank the Lord. Let us appreciate with the heart
of gratitude. Thank Him.
Thank you, Lord, we thank you. Lord, We thank you.
Lord, we thank you, Lord, we thank you.
In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, shall we
be seated? Please, shall we be seated?

When Mary descend the body of Christ, she expressed it.
We too know that we have descend His body.
What is the form of your expression?
After descending the Lord's body, anyone who descends his
body, descend his body. There was an expression.
Mary brought forth her expensive perfume and anointed Jesus the
body of Christ. Today, what is your expression
towards the body of Christ? You may say medium, me,
Bonidina, my day, Madonna. Today I want you to form a new
expression that we have descend the body.
Even if you have not descended the body by this word, you have
descended up to some point. What are you going to do after
discerning the body of Christ? Judas Iscariot criticized and he
was ostracized from the Kingdom. He was expelled.
He lost his place and was given to somebody else.
May we not be critics at the table, but may we appreciate the
Lord and focus on Him. Form your expression.
Form an expression that, O God,
after I descend your body, I will also serve.
That is what we have to do. From leaving His table, He
commissioned to go and save today.
What are you doing in response? After thanking Him?
What other thing do you want to do?
That is what we are going to possess the nation with the
gospel and with the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are going to transform society and it starts with you
and I, our form of expressing our faith.
After the descend, the body of Christ would touch a life
somewhere, would touch a family somewhere, will bring
transformation to somebody, will bring somebody to the Kingdom.
Lord, Lord, allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you.
Mary give her beautiful Alabastaja.
With content so expensive as her form of expression after she
descend the body today, after you have descend the Lord's
body, how are you going to express it?
Paul says that proclaim the lost death until he comes.
There's another form of expression, evangelizing.
Witnessing is a form of expression.
After you have descend the body, you will not sit down, but you
go forth. Oh God, Father, in the name of
Jesus, we thank you that today you have reminded us that we
need to discern your body. Mary, discern your body and
prepare your body for barrier. And it was a good thing, you
remark. That was a good thing.
Lord, may our expression after descending your body through
your table that you are the VIP in our life, help us so that we
also do good thing to the body, to the body of believers.
We also do good things to each other.
We will love one another and we will love you dearly.
Thank you for your work today as we come to dine with you.
Lord, we pray the Lord let grace abound unto us.
We wash ourselves in the blood of Jesus and let the blood speak
for us and cover all weaknesses. We thank You that in the
Kingdom, when all is fulfilled, we are going to taste a heavily
bread and a heavily wine with you, and there you are going to
comfort us. Thank you Lord, as we live in
readiness in anticipation of that day.
May that understanding and thoughts dominate our lives so
that we'll not leave for ourselves, but we'll leave for
you in Jesus name, Amen. Let us read from First
Corinthians where we we just finished off as a way of
reminding ourselves before we dine with the Lord.
First Corinthians 11. We'll take it from the 23rd
verse following 23rd verse First Corinthians 1111 from verse 23
following Can we get the new King James and then the new For
I received from the Lord.
