OPEN HEAVEN 6 MARCH 2025 DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: GOD IN YOU
MEMORISE
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1 Corinthians 11:31
READ: 1 Corinthians 11:23-34
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when 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.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 6 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE
When you partake of the Holy Communion, you are eating Jesus’ body and drinking His blood, as we read in today’s Bible reading. You are not just touching his body and blood, you are ingesting Him, and you can boldly say to anyone, “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
When I was an interpreter for my Father in the Lord, I usually looked forward to Holy Communion services. Then, we partook of the Holy Communion once every year, and I was always excited because I knew that my spiritual battery would be recharged.
Papa would be preaching, and I would be interpreting, thinking to myself, “Papa, please hurry up so we can get to the Communion.” By the time we finally got around to drinking the wine, I usually had to control myself from dropping the cup because I would be shaking from head to toe. I cherish partaking of the Communion so much because I always experience a new infilling of the Holy Spirit every time I drink the wine.
The Holy Communion is not an ordinary meal;
the moment God’s minister blesses the breac and the wine, using the words of Jesus Christ in 1 Corinthians 11:24-26, they become sacred.
The wine in the Communion represents the blood of Jesus, and this blood cleanses from all sin. The blood also causes every evil to pass over us as it did with the Israelites on the night the destroyer killed all the firstborns in Egypt (Exodus 12:21-30). This means that the blood
oT Jesus erotects us and erents us victory oven the enemy (Revelation 12:11). This is why those who drink it unworthily in sin) fall sick and die (1 Corinthians 11:27-30). Those who drink it worthily experience a resurrection power from within, producing healing, deliverance, intimacy with God, and more.
When you take the Holy Communion, you have come to dine at the table of the King of kings, and it is important that you do not have anything that will mark you as an enemy of the King as you approach His table. Ensure that you examine yourself and get rid of anything that would expose you to the wrath of the King. Get rid of sin, doubt, and everything that would not allow the power in Christ’s body and blood to manifest in your life.
ACTION POINT
Let go of everything that will not allow the power of God in the Holy Communion to manifest in your life.

RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 6 MARCH 2025 COMMENTARY
1. The Profound Significance of Holy Communion
Open Heaven devotional for today underscores that Communion is not a ritual but a supernatural encounter with Christ’s body and blood (1 Corinthians 10:16).
- It’s ingestion, not just symbolism: When we partake, we internalize Jesus’ sacrifice (John 6:53-56).
- It’s empowerment: Like a “spiritual battery recharge,” it renews our spiritual vitality (Psalm 103:5).
Personal Testimony (Daddy Adeboye’s Experience):
- The trembling awe he felt during Communion reflects reverence for Christ’s tangible presence.
- The annual practice (now more frequent in many churches) highlights its sacredness, not routine.
Application:
✔ Approach Communion with expectancy, not habit.
✔ Declare its power: “Greater is He in me than he in the world!” (1 John 4:4).
2. The Blood and Body: Protection and Victory
The elements carry covenant power:
- The Bread (Christ’s Body):
- Healing (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24).
- Unity with Christ and the Church (1 Corinthians 10:17).
- The Wine (Christ’s Blood):
- Cleansing from sin (1 John 1:7).
- Protection from evil (Exodus 12:13; Revelation 12:11).
- Victory over the enemy (Colossians 2:15).
Warning: Unworthy participation (without repentance) invites judgment (1 Corinthians 11:27-30).
Illustration:
- Just as the Passover blood spared Israel (Exodus 12), Christ’s blood shields believers today.
Application:
✔ Before Communion, confess and repent of all known sin (1 John 1:9).
✔ Claim the blood’s protection over your life daily.
3. The Danger of Unworthy Participation
Paul’s warning (1 Corinthians 11:29-30) is stark:
- “Discerning the Lord’s body” means recognizing its holiness and purpose.
- Unworthily partaking is disrespecting Christ’s sacrifice, leading to weakness, sickness, or even death.
Modern Parallels:
- Treating Communion as a “tradition” rather than a covenant act.
- Harboring unrepentant sin while partaking (e.g., bitterness, pride, immorality).
Call to Action:
✔ “Examine yourself” (1 Corinthians 11:28) before taking Communion.
✔ Restore broken relationships (Matthew 5:23-24).
4. The Transformational Power of Communion
For those who partake in faith and purity, Communion releases:
- Resurrection Life (John 6:54) – Renewed spiritual strength.
- Divine Health (Psalm 105:37) – Healing for physical ailments.
- Intimacy with God (John 15:4-5) – Deeper fellowship.
Daddy Adeboye’s Emphasis:
- The “shaking” he experienced signifies the Holy Spirit’s tangible infilling.
- Communion is a table of grace, but also a place of divine scrutiny.
Application:
✔ Pray before Communion to sensitize your spirit.
✔ Journal testimonies of breakthroughs post-Communion.
5. Practical Preparation for Communion
- Repentance: Confess sins (1 Corinthians 11:31).
- Faith: Believe in its power (Mark 11:24).
- Reverence: Dress and act honorably (Ecclesiastes 5:1).
- Thanksgiving: Gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice (Psalm 100:4).
Prayer Focus:
“Lord, purify my heart as I approach Your table. Let Your body and blood work in me—healing, delivering, and empowering me to live for Your glory. Amen.”
Final Thought: Communion as Warfare
Every time you partake, you:
- Proclaim Christ’s victory over Satan (1 Corinthians 11:26).
- Activate angelic assistance (Hebrews 1:14).
- Seal your covenant with God (Jeremiah 31:31-34).
“The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you!” (Romans 8:11)
Action Step:
- Next Communion, partake with awareness of its power, not ritual.
- Rebuke sickness, lack, and oppression in Jesus’ name as you eat and drink.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good!” (Psalm 34:8)
