BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 21: 12-13

1. Jesus saith unto them, Come and Dine. And none of the Disciples durst ask Him, Who art thou? Knowing that it is the Lord.
2. Jesus then cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them and fish likewise.

Tonight just for few minutes, we want to talk on: And God Said: “Come and Dine”.

Many atimes, there is a Period in the life of a man that puts an end to the Past and starts a New Era.

The Holy Communion is usually referred to as the: “The Lord’s Last Supper”.

Because in Mark 14: 22-25; He said to His Disciples when He gave them Bread to eat and Wine to drink. He said to them that I will not drink with you of this Wine again until I drink it with you in my Father’s Kingdom.

He was telling them that an Era is ending and a New One is about to begin.

May I decree tonight that in the life of everyone of you partaking in this Holy Communion; an Era of suffering is over.

Because, if you read that story from the beginning – If you read John Chapter 21 from the beginning; Peter gathered together some of his friends. They had Believed and Hoped that Jesus Christ will lead them to a “Kingdom on Earth”.

As a matter of fact, two (2) of them are already struggling for positions: who will sit on the right of the King and who will be on the left.

Then instead of leading them to a “Kingdom on Earth”; He allowed Himself to be killed.

And now He has disappeared and they were frustrated.

Then Peter said to the others, He said well if I can’t go forward; maybe I should go back – He said: “I Go A Fishing”.

He said that I will go back to my “Old Trade”. He said this thing doesn’t seems to have worked.

The others said: We will go with you.

And they fished all night and caught nothing.

I decree to you today: The road that will lead you back, the Almighty God will block it.

God made sure that since they said that they want to go back to fishing; well you will fail in fishing – There is something I have for you.

I have told you before that you will no longer “Fish” for fish but you will be “Fishing” for men.

… You said that you are going back? Then I will block the way.

In the Name of the One who Sent me; You will never go back to sorrow.

Then all of a sudden, they saw a man standing by the shores of the river who said to them: Children, have you any meat? – Nothing they said as we have caught nothing.

Then He said: Throw your net to the right, you will catch a lot of fishes.

They did as directed, then all the fishes that has been hiding jump into the net.

Something told Peter straightaway – Ah! I have seen this before.

There was a time that I fished all night and I caught nothing. Somebody came into my boat; told me where to throw my net and I did and I saw the results.

But before he could even say anything, John said: It is the Lord.

Peter jumped into the water and left the others behind.

When they came to the land, Jesus Christ said: “COME AND DINE”.

He had already prepared food – there was bread there and there was fish there. Nobody asked Him how do you catch your fish.

Under the Auction of the Holy Spirit, I say to you today: The Miracles that you cannot explain will begin to happen in your Life.

And the Person that He was addressing, the Person that He was inviting was one Person but others came along.

The one that He was actually invited to “Come and Dine” was Peter.

And God is addressing one particular Person here tonight; He says You: “Come and Dine”.

And He was saying to Peter: Are you tired?

Because you have fished all night and you caught nothing.

“Come and Dine”; Let Me revive you so that you will be tired no more.

Because the last time that I told you you to “Watch and Pray”; you were sleeping because you are tired. And you know what sleeping caused you when you should be Praying.

So this time around: “Come and Dine”.

You will never be tired again in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

The God who called this Convention is saying to you that for the rest of your Life; you won’t be tired again – Amen.

The Power to Pray (Day and Night); received it right now in Jesus Name – Amen.

He was saying to Peter: Are you Sad?

And of course He knows what He was talking about.

Because if you read Matthew 26: 75; after Peter denied Jesus Christ three (3) times; the Bible said that he went out and wept bitterly.

The Bible does not waste words; He said: “Come and Dine”.

And if you can follow the history of Peter from that day onwards; he never wept again.

I decree in the Name that is Above every other names; from this Convention onwards, if you will ever weep at all, it will be for Joy.

He was saying to Peter: I know the cause of your frustration because of your sorrow – Because you have failed me in the Past and you have failed yourself; your confidence is gone.

You say that you will never deny me but you did.

But He said: Peter, I have not finished with you yet.

You remember in 1 Kings 19: 4-8; when Elijah thought that he has failed God and said that God should kill him.

God said: I have not yet finished with you yet – He sent an Angel to go and feed him twice.

Don’t listen to the devil. God didn’t bring you to this Convention for fun.

If nothing at all, it is to tell you that I have not finished with you yet.

He said: “Come and Dine”; “Come and Dine”.

There is still a long journey ahead. There are still lot of works for you to do for me.

And so He said to Peter: I know that you are not even sure of tomorrow now. You have your own Plans, you have your own Programs; but now you don’t even know what the Future holds.

He said: “Come and Dine” because I am still your “Hope of Glory”.

Colossians 1:27 says: Christ in You, the Hope of Glory.

So, as you come to the Table tonight put Christ in you afresh.

When He broke the Bread, He said: This is my Body, eat it and put it inside of you.

When it comes to the Wine, He said: This is my Blood, drink it and put it inside of you.

Have the “Anointed Wine” in you and there is only one thing that you Hope for – Glory!

I have never been as confident as I am right now – that your tomorrow will be alright.

I’m not going to take much more of your time because I will encourage you tonight to Pray like you have never done before.

I have said it again and again and am saying it afresh: The Holy Communion is not an ‘Ordinary Meal’.

That is why those who take it casually don’t know what they are doing. And it is the Lord’s Supper and not the Lord’s Breakfast, not the Lord’s Lunch.

Search the Scriptures very well; anytime they took the Holy Communion is at Night – It is the Lord’s Supper.

Why? – Because weeping may endure for the Night, Joy comes in the morning.

Your sorrow will end tonight; Your confusion will end tonight; Your failure will end tonight.

That is why you shouldn’t take the Holy Communion unworthily – It is too Powerful a Meal.

You shouldn’t take the Holy Communion when you have a brother that you have made up your mind never to forgive. Don’t take the Holy Communion with that brother because you must discern the Lord’s Body.

… It is too Powerful a Meal to be toiled with.

That is why when they are serving the Holy Communion in other Places where I go to Minister and they want to serve the Holy Communion in the morning or something; I apologized to them and tell them that I am fasting.

I don’t want to die – I don’t want to eat and die. I want to eat and be Powerful.

When my Father in the Lord was alive and I was his Interpreter. When we come to the Convention on the Saturday like this and it is time for the Holy Communion.

Those days, Holy Communion is once a Year at the Convention. And I waited for that period to recharge my “Spiritual Battery”.

So I will stand by his side, as he is Preaching and inwardly am Praying: Let us stop the Preaching and get to the eating.

We will eat the Bread and when it is time to drink the Wine and because my Faith is attached to it; when I drink the Wine the Fire of God will come down on me and it will take the “Special Grace” of God to hold on to the glass (those days every cups are glasses).

… “The Just Shall Live by Faith!”

Tonight, the Power of God will come down because the Summary of what Jesus said to Peter is: “Come and Dine” so that you can receive the Power never to fail again. So that you can receive the Power never to disappoint God again. So that you can receive the Power never to be tired again.

… And tonight, somebody is going to receive Power.

ALTAR CALL

So, just in case you are here now and you are yet to give your life to Jesus Christ – you just came in today; and you want to Partake of this Holy Communion. I will appeal to you: Come and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ now.

I will count rather very fast from one (1) to ten (10). So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, you better begin to come now so that you can reach the front before I say ten (10).

I believed that you might not be many but come all the same.

For those of you in the Old Arena, begin to move very fast to the Altar because am counting very fast – so hurry up!

Ok, those of you on the way keep coming. Make sure that you get here before we finished praying.

Those of you in front, talk to the Almighty God; ask Him to have Mercy on you, ask Him to please save your soul, ask Him to wash you clean in His Blood, ask Him to join you to the Body of Christ so that you become worthy to Partake in the Holy Communion.

And let the rest of us stretch our hands towards these people and intercede for them. That the Almighty God who save your soul, will save their own souls also. Pray that the Almighty will have Mercy on them.

Let us Pray for them for another one (1) minute. Those of you on the road please hurry up.

Thank You Jesus, in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

Saviour we want to Bless Your Holy Name for Your Words. We want to Thank You for these people that has come forward to surrender their lives to You. Please Lord, receive them in Jesus Name; Save their souls; Let Your Blood wash them Clean; Write their names in the Book of Life; Receive them into the Family of God.

And from now on, anytime they call you; answer them by Fire and let them remain in You forever.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Alright, those of you who has come forward – Let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

I want to assure you that from now on by the Grace of God I will be Praying for you. So, I will need your names, Address and Prayer Request.

The Counsellors will attend to you in a moment. You turn to your left, there is somebody who will lead you to where the Counsellors are waiting. They will collect the information I need and bring you back very quickly.

… God Bless You.

Let us give the Lord a big, big round of applause as they go – You are clapping for Jesus and not these people. So keep clapping, keep clapping!

… Thank You Father – Amen.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION

Now to make the work easy; there will be eleven (11) Serving Points in the New Auditorium while in the Old Arena, there will be fourteen (14) Serving Points. Just look around, you will see where some Pastors are already gathered. Go to the one closest to you.

Now, when they served you the Bread; you can eat the Bread as soon as I give you the go ahead.

When they served you the Wine, you should please hold on till we have all been served so that we can drink the Wine together as one.

After you have taken the Wine tonight; I will encourage you to Pray Standing because something is about to happen urgently.

The first time that there was a “Passover Feast” in Egypt; they took it Standing because that was the End of Bondage and End of Slavery and a New Beginning of Freedom, of Joy, of Success overnight.

The sane thing will happen tonight.

Now, when you take the Bread tonight; your Prayer is that the Almighty God should give you a “Clean Break” from the Past – everything that are bad things in the Past should be gone forever. And that you want Him to give you a New Beginning of Good Things.

… I hope you understand.

When it is time to take the Wine, I will tell you what to Pray.

… The Lord Jesus, the very Night in which He was betrayed took the Bread and when He has given Thanks, He broke it and said: Take, Eat; this is my Body broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.

As you eat, cry to the Lord for “Clean Break” from the Past and a Brand New Beginning.

… In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – Amen.

… Glory be to God!

When you drink the Wine tonight, please cry to God for Power – Power to Succeed, never to fail again, Win souls, Heal the sick, Cast out demons, Raise the dead, Do the impossible, Reverse the irreversible.

Ask for Power tonight because He said: You shall receive Power and then you will become my Witness forever.

He said in His Words, without Signs and Wonders some people won’t believe.

If God empowers you tonight; in less than a Month there can be Greater Joy in your City.

You need Power and the Wine is a Symbol of the Holy Spirit.

So, when you drink the Wine tonight, cry to God for Power – Fresh Anointing – Anointing Visitation on you from the Holy Spirit.

Let us stand on our feet

… After the same manner also; He took the cup, when He has sup saying: This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood. Please do this as oft as you drink in remembrance of me.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Thank You Jesus. Glory be to Your Holy Name. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

In the Name that is Above every other names; I hereby decree: RECEIVE POWER – Power to Heal the sick; Power to Open blind eyes; Power to Make lame walk; Power to Make the deaf to hear; Power to Make the dumb speak; Power to Raise the dead; Power to Win souls; Power to Prosper, Power Never to fail again; Power to Multiply; Power Not to backslide; Power to End well … Receive Power in the Name of Jesus.

Thank You Almighty God; in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Let me hear you shout a big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Please let us be seated and let us remain in an Attitude of Worship. And then pass our cups to the aisles so that the Ushers can collect them very quickly.

THANKSGIVING

And then as it is our custom after the Holy Communion; we love to say Thank You to the Almighty God for counting us Worthy to Dine at His Table.

So, while the Ushers are collecting your cups; very quickly let us prepare our Thanksgiving Offering.

Tomorrow, we will be Closing the Convention 2019 with the Ordination of “Full Pastors” and so we will appeal that you should leave the front of the Altar free tonight because they need to prepare the Place for the Ordination Service tomorrow morning.

And now with Joy in your heart, dance to the nearest basket to drop your offering.

After that, celebrate with your brothers and sisters. Shake hands with as many as possible because we are leaving here as a Victorious Army.
