OPEN HEAVEN 3 JULY 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: THE POWER OF THE HOLY COMMUNION
MEMORISE:
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Colossians 3:13
READ: John 6:53-58
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 3 JULY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
Years ago, a woman was sick, and the doctors could not find out what was wrong with her.
Finally, she said, “Take me to the Holy Ghost Service.” She was brought the day before the service so she could be seated right in front during the Holy Ghost Service. Since she had been brought a day earlier, she attended the Holy Communion Service, which is always held on the eve of every Holy Ghost Service. She took the communion, and after the programme, she was helped back into the car she came in. As she sat in the car, she suddenly noticed many ants coming out of her body and dropping dead. She looked down and saw that the car was full of dead ants, even though there were no ants outside the car. She was totally healed that same night!
The Holy Communion is a sacred meal, but it is also a very dangerous meal. This is because there is mighty power in the blood and body of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb…” If you drink the blood of the lamb worthily, you will indeed have a testimony. However, if you harbour anger and bitterness against your fellow brother and take the Holy Communion, you may die. If you eat the bread worthily, it can heal, and if you drink the wine worthily, it can deliver.
A woman was once possessed by a demon who was always talking with the voice of a man, blaspheming God and saying horrible things about Jesus Christ. She didn’t know how the demon entered her or how to get rid of it. She came to one of our services, and anytime she tried to pray, the demon would want to take over her voice to say horrible things about God. When it was time for the Holy Communion, she heard me say, “When you eat the bread, which is the body of Christ, you will be healed. When you drink the wine, you will get victory over the devil.” The demon in her screamed, “Don’t you dare drink that wine.” She began to rejoice, and the moment she took the wine, the demon screamed, left, and never returned.
Beloved, the Holy Communion is powerful, and you should ensure you partake of it as prescribed by Jesus Christ. However, you must avoid unforgiveness, bitterness, and any form of sin if you don’t want its power to work against you.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 3 JULY 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Colossians 3:13
“Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”
This verse underscores the necessity of forgiveness before partaking in the Holy Communion. Just as Christ forgave us, we must extend the same grace to others—otherwise, we risk turning the sacred meal into a spiritual hazard.
BIBLE READING: John 6:53-58
“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you… He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him.”
Jesus’ words reveal the supernatural power in His body and blood. The Holy Communion is not a mere symbol—it is a divine encounter with the life, healing, and victory found in Christ.
The Dual Nature of the Holy Communion: Life-Giving and Dangerous
The devotional presents two powerful testimonies that illustrate how the Holy Communion can either bring miraculous deliverance or severe consequences, depending on the participant’s spiritual state.
1. The Healing Power of the Holy Communion
- The sick woman’s story shows that the body and blood of Jesus carry divine healing power(Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24).
- The ants (symbolizing sickness or demonic infestation) died when she took Communion, proving that the blood of Jesus destroys every affliction (Revelation 12:11).
- This aligns with 1 Corinthians 11:26, which says Communion proclaims the Lord’s death until He returns—meaning it releases present-day miracles.
2. The Deliverance Power of the Holy Communion
- The demon-possessed woman’s case confirms that demons recognize and fear the blood of Jesus.
- The demon’s panic (“Don’t you dare drink that wine!”) reveals that Satan knows Communion breaks his power (Luke 10:19).
- Her deliverance mirrors the Exodus principle: Just as the blood of the lamb protected Israel from death (Exodus 12:13), the blood of Christ protects and liberates believers today.
3. The Warning: Unforgiveness Invites Judgment
- 1 Corinthians 11:27-30 sternly warns that taking Communion unworthily brings judgment, weakness, sickness, or even death.
- If a believer harbors bitterness, unrepentant sin, or unforgiveness, the same meal meant for lifecan bring harm.
- Jesus emphasized reconciliation before worship (Matthew 5:23-24), proving that unresolved strife blocks God’s blessings.
How to Partake of the Holy Communion Worthily
- Examine Your Heart (1 Corinthians 11:28)
- Confess and repent of all known sin (1 John 1:9).
- Release forgiveness toward anyone who has wronged you (Mark 11:25).
- Discern the Lord’s Body (1 Corinthians 11:29)
- Recognize that the bread and wine are not symbols but sacred vessels of Christ’s life and victory.
- Approach with faith, expecting healing, deliverance, and spiritual renewal.
- Partake Regularly with Reverence
- Early believers “continued steadfastly” in Communion (Acts 2:42)—it’s a spiritual maintenance tool, not just an occasional ritual.
- The more you partake in faith, the more its power works in you.
Conclusion: A Meal of Triumph or Trial?
The Holy Communion is not a religious routine but a divine encounter. For those who partake in faith and purity, it brings:
- Healing (Matthew 8:17),
- Deliverance (Luke 10:19),
- Spiritual strength (John 6:56).
But for those who disregard holiness, it can invite chastisement (Hebrews 12:6).
Ask yourself today:
- “Is there anyone I need to forgive before taking Communion?”
- “Do I truly believe in the power of Christ’s blood, or do I treat it as a tradition?”
As you honor the Lord’s Supper with a clean heart and bold faith, you will experience its full supernatural benefits—just like the woman healed of sickness and the woman freed from demons. The blood still works!
