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.
