JULY 2025 GLOBAL COMMUNION SERVICE

Rev Chris Oyakhilome DSC DSC DD

July is always a special month, we just came from the month of June which was our month of prayer, we prayed a lot in the month of June, we put in several hours of prayer in the month of June.
Then in the month of July, it's a special thanksgiving month, though we call is the month of JOY

And during this month of Joy, you're compulsorily requested to organize special fellowships with food.
You're supposed to eat and drink together.
Plan it, no buying of the food: all the foods must be prepared by the members of the church; no contracts awarded.
The members of the church/cell/pcf at whatever level you're organizing these feasts of joy, all the foods must be prepared by members.

Don't buy the food from somewhere: no hiring of chef or restaurant, no contract to anyone: only the members should contribute and prepare it.

You can begin immediately and do it at the different levels and make sure that you have songs of praise and thanksgiving to God, exhortations and testimonies in all of those meetings.
Songs of praise in thanks to God, prayers and exhortations snd testimonies with food and drinks.

Evangelism is our supreme task: a job that must be done, we can't delegate it, we have to be directly involved in it, it's our work.

Everything that the Lord has told us to do is important and He guides us with His wisdom.
Sometimes, there are things that may not look as important to you, you may not realize that it is important but in your estimation it's not important.

Exodus 4:24-26
After this amazing fellowship Moses had with God, God wanted to kill Moses. It was his wife who rescued him.
Why? Because God has given him the instruction for circumcision and he hadnt circumcised his son.

There are things God tell us to do and we have to recognize their importance and urgency.
You don't wait or use your own mind to calculate it to decide whether or not to act and when to act.... When he gives you an instruction, you act now, you do it quickly: otherwise you will be giving opportunity for bad things to happen.
Whatever the Lord tells us to do, He tells us to do things in our interest, it's nothing for His interest.
Some things might look casual, but never treat God's words or God's instructions casually.

For example, the communion.
To some people, it doesn't have to be done, because they are carnally minded, they don't think of the spiritual.
The Bible says, to be carnally minded is death.
If you want life and peace, you have to be spiritually minded.

The communion is not a casual affair, it's important.
Jesus said to do it.
Then let the church decide how to organize for it (as seen in the book of Acts and Corinthians).
There are many Christians who haven't taken the communion in a whole year, it doesn't mean anything to them.
It is spiritual stupidity to not take the communion.
They are ignoring the word by choice until terrible things start happening.
The trouble may not come immediately but sure trouble will come.

He asked us to do these things in our interest.
The most important thing is IT IS HIS INSTRUCTION. It is not about what you gain from it: if he tells you to do something, you do it.

When you become a Christian, Jesus Christ becomes Lord of your life. Salvation comes to you when you believe with your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life.
Romans 10:9-10

Once you become a Christian, you now have someone who is in control: you're not running your life by yourself.
You are in his army now.
That's the way he sees you.

2 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV, NIV
Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
When you're born again, you have been brought into God's army as a soldier from Day 1
You're serving as a soldier so you have to trained tough. You do the things he said we should do.

He told us to take the communion in remembrance of Him, so we've got to do it.
1 Corinthians 11: 23-25

Communion shouldn't be a light matter.
The first thing isn't to look for is there a blessing in it, he said to do it: there is blessing in obedience. So you obey his instructions.
