BREAKING GENERATIONAL CURSES

WHAT IS A CURSE?

A curse is a force in the unseen realm having power to bring evil to pass. The word “force” connotes power or spirit. It is an evil pronouncement against a person, place or thing. A curse is the opposite of blessing. That is, it is either you are blessed or cursed. Note that if curses are not addressed, they have long-lasting effects and so become generational; passing from one generation to another in the future (Generational curses).

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CURSES

1.   Curses are real. They are not mere illusion or imagination.2Sam.1:21

2.   Behind every curse, there is a cause or reason. Curses usually manifest as a result of what someone has done. Prov.26:2. Note that it is not every curse pronounced on someone that comes to pass if not warranted.

3.   Most curses are self procured or generational. Ex.20:5, Deut.28:45-46.

4.   Anything can be cursed. E.g Man, land, business, cars e.t.c

5.   Curses can be broken or lifted. It doesn’t matter for how long but it can be lifted. Reuben was cursed in Gen.49:3, and the curse was lifted in Deut.33:1,6.

EFFECTS OF CURSES

1.   It brings continual defeat or failure.

2.   It brings unseen resistance.

3.   Struggling to make ends meet.

4.   Delay. That is, good things don’t come easily or on time.

5.   Financial hardship.

6.   Accident prone.

7.   Barrenness or unfruitfulness.

8.   Unsettled marriage.

9.   Repeated unnatural or untimely death.

10.                Particular sickness or disease in a family.

TYPES/AVENUES OF CURSES

1.   The curse of God. This is the greatest of all the curses because when God curses, no one can lift. Gen.3:14. The following are things that attracts curses:

(a)Rejection of God.

(b)Putting confidence in man.

(c) Robbing God in Tithes and Offerings.

(d)Through wilful disobedience.

(e)Having alternative.

(f)  Through idolatry.

2.   The curse of Parents (Biological and Spiritual). These two have the power either to bless or curse. 1Cor.4:15-16, Eph.6:1-3.

3.   Self procured curses (The curse of seedtime and harvest). This curse is about what you have sown. Gen8:22, Gal.6:7. Whatever you sow is what you reap!

4.   The curse of Satan. This is the curse that the people fear most but it is actually the least of all the curses. Num.23

HOW TO BREAK GENERATIONAL CURSES

1.   Acknowledge your wrongs and those of your fathers, and ask God to forgive you. Ps.119:67, 1Jn.1:8-9, Rom.3:25.

2.   Renounce all contacts with demonic religious and destroy all demonic objects in your possession. Rom.6:1, Gal.5:1. All satanic sacrifices must cease and stop all demonic consultations.

3.   Break the curses by aggressive prayer. In prayer, you cry for mercy and engage the blood. Rev.12:11, Zech.9:11, Heb.12:24. In prayers, stand on the authority of the Word of God.

4.   Call forth the blessings. Declare generational blessings. 2Tim.1:5, Josh.24:15, Gen.22:17, 24:60.

5.   Release your faith. Gal.3:13-14.

                  

ENGAGING SPIRITUAL GIFTS FOR SUPERNATURAL TURNAROUND

WHY DO WE NEED SPIRITUAL GIFTS?

These are proofs of God’s manifestation in your life as a believer. Spiritual gifts are exclusively preserved for those who belong to God in truth and spirit. When you are in Christ and not experiencing the gift of God, it goes dormant. Men can exhibit talents but spiritual gifts are for those who are special before God; they are for those who have a craving for these gifts.

WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR SPIRITUAL GIFT?

This is the unreserved love for God and man; the love for God and things of God, and this is what makes you give your best (Jn.3:16). Giving has its root on love and love can be proven by sacrifice. Give until there is nothing else to give. That simply means giving yourself. Every genuine gift has its root in love, and love is not completed without sacrifice (Philp.1:21, Rom.8: 35-36). Giving yourself will qualify you for all of God.

Apostle Paul was richly blessed with spiritual gifts. He operated with the following secrets:

1.He lived for Christ. Philp.1:21

2.Nothing separated him from the love of Christ. Rom.8:35.

3.He placed value on the grace of God. 1Cor.15:16

4.He was richly blessed such that he imparted it on other people’s lives. Rom.1:11

It is the fullness of the love of God that brings out the fullness of God in your life. Spiritual gifts have nothing to do with education, gender or title. All you need to do is to submit yourself to God. You can have your share of spiritual gifts as long as you are saved.Eph.3:17-19, Jn.1:12-13, Isa.11:1.

The seven spirits of God are expected to manifest in Christians. 1Cor 12:7.

1.The Spirit of wisdom is the spirit of sound mind. It empowers us for enthronement. Joseph, Moses, Daniel and Solomon operated the spirit of wisdom in their time but Christ has given us a leverage to even do better than them. Deut.34:9, 2Pet.3:15, 2Tim.1:6-7, Dan.5:11.

BENEFIT FROM THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM.

1)                It helps us in solving problematic situations. 1Kgs.26

2)                It helps our defense before hostile people (Mat.10:19-20).

3)                It helps us in giving answers to unbeliever’s argument. Mat.22:21

2.The Spirit of counsel. Prov.14:12, Prov.11:14

This spirit of counsel brings safety. Prov.20:18. A man of counsel is a man of victory. Isa.48:17-21. The Spirit of counsel empowers us for divine guidance, and through this we enjoy:

a. Profiting

b.True peace

c. Enjoy progress

d.Suffer no lack
