SUSPENSION OF HOLY COMMUNION IN CHURCHES

Holy Communion is one of the most spiritual practices in the Christiandom, Our Lord Jesus Christ in 1 Corinthians 11 verse 25 Urged us to do it often In remembrance of him .

Scriptures also admonished us not to partake of the Holy communion if we examine our selves and find ourselves unworthy of partaking in that spiritual exercise.


1 Corinthians 11:27-28 New International Version
(NIV)

So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup
of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of
sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
Everyone ought to examine themselves before they
eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those
who eat and drink without discerning the body of
Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.

The Nigerian church which is meant to be the conscience of the Nation has abdicated that role several years ago.

Nigerian Church has degenerated to a level were armed robbers and drunkards struggle for who takes the communion first.

A place were thieving politicians are made elders and given front row seat during communion and church services is not the kind of church our Lord Jesus is coming to marry.

Friends we are in a generation were ''pastors'' are general overseers in the day and ritualist and occult members at night.

Most orthodox churches today see communion as a mere ritual were those baptize in the mission are recognized, negating the spiritual relevance of the CUP OF JESUS !

This is the reason why many are sick in the body of christ
According to 1 Corinthians 11:30
"That is why many among you are weak and sick,
and a number of you have fallen asleep"


Communion services should be suspended because -

1. Ebola spreads via body fluids,and since some churches still use a collective cup for communion the risk of spread is quite high

Imagine the carnage that will be caused if an infected person takes the first sip in a communion of 1000 congregants


2. The Nigerian church has bastardized virtually everything! such that school certificate holders who are unable to secure jobs or admission now administer Holy communion as general overseers of the ministries they preside over controlling who administers the cup is virtually impossible.

3. Priests and Pastors have a high tendency of been infected with the virus. (The case of Miguel Pajares, the Spanish priest who died of Ebola 3 days ago is a classical example )

An infected priest due to the nature of his calling could also infect an entire community either via communion or interaction .

The Action of the Nurse who escaped from Lagos and went to Enugu which has now led to the quarantine of additional 21 people has shown us that drastic measures need to be taken because we are already in a drastic situation where things can change suddenly and rapidly .

As I write this piece a child is been tested for the virus in Ilorin, Kwara state if confirmed it will be the first case of the Virus in northern Nigeria, No where is safe anymore .

May God help us to help ourselves

@Op Ebola was your excuse for all these... Why not go on to the religion section to express your opinion on the matter?

The Catholic Church has stopped giving Holy Communion on the lips of those who take the communion. I heard it on news some days ago. I don't know for other denominations though.

Who told you Churches use collective cup for Communion nowadays?

Apart from the differences in emblems, why should Government allow soft drink and snacks and jump to ban holy Communion?

Sorry for my ignorance.

muslims also should be banned from praying in the mosque. All mosque should be closed.

Sharing of rubber kettle to pray is contagious. The collective use of water to wash leg and other body parts will spread the infection rapidly. tongue


may thunder fire anyone that misquote me!

Stop saying rubbish. If you have anything against the church, say it.

Have you been to any Catholic church before? Does the Catholic church distribute wine to the congregation?
