THE PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION

THE PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION: LETS THEN CELEBRATE & COMMEMORATE OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION!

The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION, is the very simple reason to CELEBRATE and COMMEMORATE the Crucifixion, Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension and Enthronement of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.

“For though he was CRUCIFIED through weakness, yet he liveth by THE POWER OF GOD. For we also are weak in him, but WE SHALL LIVE WITH HIM BY THE POWER OF GOD toward you” 2 Corinthians 13:4.

The PASSOVER feast was INSTITUTED by God, but first OBSERVED and Celebrated in Egypt. And it’s done as an act of FAITH and FAITHFULNESS toward God for the deliverance of Israelites and to MARK and ENACT the people of God’s deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised BLESSEDNESS – Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36.

PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a FORESHADOW of what Christ has now done for us, as the PASSOVER Lamb that is sacrifice – CRUCIFIED – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light and the Kingdom of His graciousnesss and gracefulness – Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 1:3-5.

That’s the essence of the COMMUNION services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, which taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me . . . 35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36 and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus” John 1:29-30, 35-37.

“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.

“Then came the day of UNLEAVENED BREAD, when the PASSOVER must be KILLED. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the PASSOVER, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the PASSOVER with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.  19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is MY BODY which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in MY BLOOD, which is shed for you” Luke 22:7-20

PANDEMIC CHALLENGE – KNOW FOR SURE THAT – You ARE The Church

PANDEMIC CHALLENGE – KNOW FOR SURE THAT – You ARE The Church: You Are Not Being Closed – You Can’t Be Closed – It’s Just The Gathering Place Been Shut!

The Scriptures say that wisdom is PROFITABLE to direct. And because not all of us are in the same wave of grace and strength as a Church to withstand robustly some measures, it’s very important that every sacrifice to help especially the young in Faith are considered – hence the building gathering may be considered shut for the time been, the services for the advancement of the Kingdom Causes are not shut. It’s not a weakening but a wise sense to flourish all. It’s a challenge to the awakening of the times in order to become WHAT you are and of WHOM you are in all circumstances.

For Apostle Paul did say, for the WEAK I became WEAK to make them grow along and together as others, to the place of STRENGHT – that’s what a good shepherd of the flocks does. And to the strong, I do all I can to keep them strengthened the more he said. As we take care for the Sheep, so the Lambs who are most vulnerable, for they can’t be forgotten; they are part of this journey of LIFE and GRACE in the Kingdom Causes of our God – to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.

For we are the Church being built of the Father God in our Lord Christ Jesus by the Word through prayers in the empowering of the Holy Spirit; as such we the Church are not the structurally and architecturally building; hence as a charismatic and dynamic body, we can adapt with the changes to advance the Kingdom Causes of our God as we keep the enemy and cohorts at bay through this period until the world present predicament come to a hold at least.

As Moses and His leadership was able to take along the mobile Church in the wilderness to the promised land of grace in spite of the ups and downs, may every Pastoral leadership I pray, will by God’s wisdom takes God’s people under their Shepherding to the places of stability, strength and counsel in LIFE and GODLINESS during this challenging and difficult times of our Health and Economic as we all all being tested again WORLD wide.

The Churches leadership can use the services of the home cell groups or and social media streamlining platforms or and recorded videos and or Audio and video formats to transmit the Word to keep the Church services alive and engaged gracefully and graciously in knowledge and understanding without disruptions. More so, using the telephone lines as timeless avenues for counselling and prayers where needed in cause of channelling cares.

May I make this profound note for everyone to know that during the cause and course of this process that the dynamics in which we go about doing and running Church services will be changing and denominational boundary and limitations will be broken. So get ready to wise up from the limited bonds and conditions you may have built yourself all these while.

It’s my prayers that as Pastoral leadership team open up the more to the Holy Spirit, there will be absolute update to lead the flocks of God unhindered in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

“We then that are STRONG ought to bear the INFIRMITIES of the WEAK, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to EDIFICATION. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me” Romans 15:1-3.

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to SUPPORT THE WEAK, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to GIVE than to RECEIVE” Acts 20:35.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me?
