The February 2026 Holy Communion Service ministered by Pastor E. A. Adeboye (General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God)

The February 2026 Holy Communion Service, ministered by Pastor E. A. Adeboye (General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God), carried the powerful theme “Brand New Beginning”, drawn from 1 Kings 21:16-20 with references to Elijah’s experiences in 1 Kings 17, 19, and beyond.

In this message, Pastor Adeboye highlighted the story of Prophet Elijah—a man of great anointing and victory (even calling down fire on Mount Carmel)—who still faced seasons of intense persecution. He had to hide from King Ahab (1 Kings 17:1-4) and later flee from Queen Jezebel after his triumph (1 Kings 19:1-4). It was described as a terrible thing: to be hunted, to run for your life, or to possess immense talent yet be forced into hiding due to enemies. Elijah essentially lived under a form of “house arrest” because threats surrounded him everywhere.

But a dramatic turnaround came. When Elijah’s new beginning arrived, the hunters became the hunted—those pursuing him fled at the sight of him. The turning point? It began the moment he ate a meal (the angelic provision in 1 Kings 19:5-8), after which he was strengthened and no longer weary or discouraged from running.

Pastor Adeboye powerfully applied this to the Holy Communion service:

• Your new beginning is now, as you partake in the Holy Communion tonight.
• The tide is about to turn.
• No more running from challenges, enemies, or limitations.
• Those who have been hunting you (spiritually, physically, or in destiny) shall themselves become the hunted.
• The glory of God will begin to shine upon your life.

Declaration

Declare over your life:
– No more running.
– My hunters shall become the hunted.
– The glory of God will begin to shine upon me.

Salvation Call

This brand new beginning belongs to those who are in Christ. If you haven’t surrendered your life to Jesus or want to rededicate yourself, cry out to Him: Ask for mercy, forgiveness of sins, cleansing by His blood, and salvation of your soul.

Prayer Points During Communion

As you take the bread:
– Father, do a new thing in my body.
– Anything called ache or pain—I reject it from now on.
– Drive out everything that is not of You from my body.
– Let anything hunting my body be hunted out.

As you take the wine:
– Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, from this moment onward, scatter all forces that have been slowing down my destiny.

The service included four accompanying images (likely venue shots, communion elements, or illustrative visuals from the live event), shared directly from Pastor Adeboye’s account on February 5, 2026.

This message resonates as an encouragement for anyone in a season of hiding, fatigue, or pursuit—God can reverse the order through a fresh encounter with Him, symbolized here by the Communion meal. May your own brand new beginning manifest in Jesus’ name! #BrandNewBeginning
