1 Corinthians 11:23-26:
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.
In the Olden Days, when Somebody is desperately sick and it looks as if he will surely die.
Then the Relatives will go to the Local Herbalist – Who in those days were sincere.
And many atimes, they will say: Okay, go and get a Trunk of a Banana tree, bring the most Precious dress of the Fellow who is dying and then bring this, bring that – And they will bring them.
And this Herbalist will put one (1) or two (2) things together, dress the Banana Trunk with the dress of the Fellow who is supposed to die. And then, they will tell the Relatives to carry that “Dressed Banana Trunk” and surrounded with all these kinds of charms to the Cross Road in the Town – The most Popular Spot in the Town at Night. And then, they will go back home.
And almost invariably, Somebody walking about in the Night – A thief or Somebody coming from another man’s wife house, who does not want to be seen during the Day will come to the Cross Road and see the Trunk of the Banana Tree that has been dressed.
And the next thing that you will hear of this – That Wicked Fellow, walking about in the Night will die and the Man who was supposed to die will Supernaturally recover.
Now, you want to wonder that – Where did the devil learnt that trick?
Well, you know that the devil is not Original – He copied whatever he has seen God do!
There is a Law in Proverbs 11:8 – It says: The Righteous is delivered out of trouble and the Wicked has come in its stead.
It is called “The Law of Substitution“.
The Elders will say in those days that they Substituted Somebody for the Fellow who was to die – They Substituted the Wicked for the Righteous.
… The Righteous is delivered out of trouble and the Wicked goes in its stead.
And that is Wonder!
But there is a Greater Wonder – And that is what happened when Jesus Christ died for you.
This time, it is the Righteous who died that the Wicked may live!
When Jesus Christ said that whenever you come to the Holy Communion; do this in Remembrance of me – He is asking you to remember the Multiple Wonders embedded in the Death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ!

For Example:
1. In 1 Peter 2:24 – They beat Him forty (40) Stripes, so that He would suffer Pains.
Great Pains – So that you might be Healed,
By His Stripes you were Healed.
So, you can claim that by the Law of Substitution:
– Jesus, You suffered Pains so that I may not suffer Pain.
– So you can tell Sickness in your Body, the Aches and the Pains that I transferred you to the Righteous One who suffered Aches and Pains so that I may be Healed.
2. Not only that – He died that you may Live.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:15 – He is your Substitution.
He died so that you may live.
So, you can say to Death – You can’t have me because I have already transferred my Death to the One who is my Substitute.
3. And then – He was defeated so that you may be Victorious.
They couldn’t have Conquered Him if He didn’t surrender.
He told Peter when those Soldiers came to arrest Him. As Peter took his sword and cut off one of the ears of one of the People.
He said: Ha, do you think that these People can Conquer me? I could have asked my Father in Heaven and He could have sent down Legions of Angels that will take care of all these “Little Soldiers”.
He said: But I agreed to be defeated so that you can be Victorious.
In Revelation 12: 10-11 – The Bible made it clear to us that because of the Blood that Jesus Christ shed; we overcome even the devil himself.
So you can tell the enemy who thinks that he can Conquer you that he is wasting his time – The One who came in my Place had suffered defeat so that I can never be defeated again.
4. If you read Matthew 26: 42-44 – You will see that He Prayed earnestly.
He Prayed so hard that the Bible says his sweats became like a drop of Blood – And yet, God didn’t answer.
Do you know why?
So that from now on; anytime that you Pray, God will answer your Prayers.
5. In Matthew 27:46 – He became one hundred Percent (100%) Lonely because not only were all the Disciples gone, even His Father (God) turned his face away.
He had to cry – My Father, my Father; why has thou forsaken me?
So, He was alone – He was Lonely so that you will never be Lonely.
Do you know the Deep meaning of that?
It means that those of you who think that maybe God has forgotten you and that is why you have not gotten husband or wife yet; you can tell Loneliness that you are wasting your time because my Substitute has become Lonely so that I will not be Lonely.
6. But you can go Deeper still – And wonder that how come that at the age of 33½ years, He wasn’t married?
Oh, He could have been married and it won’t stop His work – Peter had a Mother-In-Law, still the Shadow of Peter was healing.
But if He married, then He will have children.
And so He died Barren so that we will not died Barren.
I can go on and on – Tallkimg of the Multiple Wonders of the Death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ!
7. He died, and He went to Hell so that you won’t go to Hell.
When He was in Hell – He was surrounded by all manners of Demons.
They were rejoicing as they thought that they had Conquered Him – Oh, we got You here!
For three (3) days, they tormented Him.
But on the Third Day, He rose again.
And the Bible tells me in Colossians 2:15 that He didn’t just come out of the Grave – He Spoilt Principalities and Powers.
Do you know the meaning of Spoil?
In the Olden Days, when two Armies fight; the one who wins, takes over everything that the “Defeated One” had.
They called it: “The Spoils of War”.
And now, the Bible went further to say in Ephesians 4:8 – That when He was rising from the Dead, after Spoiling Principalities and Powers, making a Show of them openly. He led Captivity Captive and gave Gifts unto Men.
You know when Jesus Christ rose from the Dead, He is not only saying: From now on Satan, you are under the feet of my Children; He also released Gifts to Men.
*It is after He rose from the Dead that all of a sudden:
– His Disciples could now raise the Dead.
– Make the Lame to walk.
– Send Handkerchiefs to go and Perform Miracles.
All because of the Substitution! – The Righteous is delivered from trouble and the Wicked goes in its stead.
But in the case of Jesus Christ – The Righteous was delivered into trouble and the Wicked comes out; inheriting all the Blessings!
You see, when you come to the Holy Communion Service:
– You are coming to the Most Special Meal in the whole Universe.
– You are coming to the Meal that is going to remind you of the Law of Substitution.
– A Meal that is reminding you of all the benefits that is available to you as a Child of God.
– You have come to a Meal where you can now say to Sickness – Sickness, you can’t stay on my Body because Jesus Christ has already carried away my Pains.
– You come and say to the devil: No, No; Poverty, you can’t come close to me.
The Bible tells us that He lost everything; that through His Poverty, we might become Rich!
– You come to a Meal where you can say: Ha, He died of Loneliness and so I am not going to die Lonely.
– You can say: Oh, He died Barren, I am going to be Fruitful.
– You come to a Meal where you can say: In His Death, He delivered me from all Powers of Darkness; so that I can reign Triumphantly.
– And not only that, so that I can enjoy “Spiritual Gifts”.
When you come to the Holy Communion, you come to a Meal that will Transform your Life; a Meal that will open the Door of Multiple Wonders!
That is why you cannot afford to eat the Meal Unworthily – It is an “Extraordinary Meal” and it opens the door to Multiple Wonders!
But the Meal is not for those who are Sinners and who refused to received the Lord Jesus Christ.
Because if you have not received Him, the Law of Substitution will still work for you but it is just that it will work in the Original way that it was intended.
That when the Righteous in your family is delivered out of trouble, the Wicked will go in its stead.
But if you decide today that I don’t want to be the Wicked anymore – I want to become one of the Righteous ones; then you come to Jesus Christ.
He will save your Soul, and He will receive you into the Family of God.
And then the Law of Substitution from His Own Side will now become applicable to you.
ALTAR CALL
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ; I will count from one (1) to five (5). Before I say five (5); come and stand before the Altar.
We will Pray to the Almighty God to save your Soul; that His Blood that conquers Satan can begin to Conquer for you.
That the Blood will wash away your sin and your Prayers will begin to receive “Instant Answers”.
Come now, as I begin to count!
Now, those of you who has come – Cry to the Lord.
Ask Him to have Mercy on you, ask Him to save your Soul, ask Him to wash you Clean from all your sins with His Powerful Blood.
Ask Him to receive you into the Family of God and Promise Him that you will serve Him for the rest of your Life.
And the rest of us, Please let us Stretch our hands towards these People and intercede for them – That the One who saved us will save their own Souls also.
That the One who received us into Hiis Kingdom into His Family, will receive them also.
Pray for them for just a Minute.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION
And so tonight, when you eat the Bread, you will Pray.
You will say: I Claim my Rights as a Child of the Living God.
That because Jesus Christ suffered Pains, there will be no more Sickness in my Body.
I Claim my Rights according to the Law of Substitution – Because Jesus Christ suffered Pains, I will no longer tolerate Pains, Sickness or any form of Disease in my Body.
Please Pray it with Faith because it is already Settled and the Word of God cannot be broken.
Then when it is time to drink the Wine, I will tell you how to Pray!
Thank You Father!
The Lord Jesus Christ; the very Night in which He was betrayed took the Bread and when He has given Thanks, He broke it saying: Take, Eat; this is my Body broken for you; do this in Remembrance of Me.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen!
Go ahead and Pray as directed.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Shall we Stand!
When He ascended on High, He gave Gifts unto Men.
When you drink the Wine tonight; you are going to ask for your own Gifts.
You are going to tell the Almighty God – Father, by the Law of Substitution, I ask for Gifts of the Holy Spirit through the Blood of Jesus Christ!
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 ye as oft as you drink it in Remembrance of Me.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
