The Cup of Blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
THE CUPS

The CUP OF SALVATION.
The content of the cup

The cup content contain the blood. All that the blood represent and did for us.
Anytime you drunk the cup, you are proclaiming your protection, your deliverance, your separation from the world.
4 SPIRITUAL REALITY OF THE CUP – It is good to thanks god for the blessing but there’s somethings greater that you have to thanks him for
1. Reality of the cup was for our transgression (rebellion/ trespasses) – Isaiah 53:5.Its with the understanding of the cup that you can truly render thanks. Without the knowledge of that, the basis and foundation of the cup
2. Our Iniquities, our faults (confess your faults one to another that you may be healed)
3. Our Peace – Our completeness and soundness ( The peace with prosperity , 2 Timothy 1:7 – God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, power and of a sound mind)
4. Our Healing – Raphah (health, any form of health, physical health, emotional health, financial health, psychological health)
