I began to explore on
the belief that curses could reign from biological parents through to their offspring
who have experienced the new birth last week. The exploration opened with a
check on the basis for this belief which is usually backed up with the words of
mourning that was recorded in the book of Lamentations. Contextually, it was
laid bare in the article how that scripture no longer hold sway in the life of
the Israelite (children of God). If you missed that, please go back and read
here before proceeding: http://innovationresort.blogspot.com.ng/2017/10/plague-transfer.html
Having looked at the familiar, let us proceed to the unfamiliar.
Having looked at the familiar, let us proceed to the unfamiliar.
From the beginning, man
lost the legal right to be called God’s children as a result of submitting to
the word of the serpent; the Israelite earned the title “God’s children”
conditionally. Before this unfortunate event took place, man had every right to
see God, talk to Him, make decisions on earth without a second thought on if
they were wrong in any way- they had the mind of God.
Immediately man failed
God by believing the account of the serpent, man lost the right stand he had with
God. What this meant was that God could no longer trust man with His domain. God’s
mind that gave man all the direct image of His choice on every issue had been
corrupted.
The original plan of
God was for man to reproduce the image of Him (God) on earth, however, this
became impossible as the light of man was already darkened. By extension, this
resulted into the pollution of the earth, hence, the scripture that by one man,
sin came into the world. Man became open to curses which principally came from
God and not some enchantment. There is no curse as terrible as being cut off
from God.
To salvage the
situation, God the Father sent Jesus to the world to die for the sin of man and
by believing in the power of redemption man can be saved. Now, at that point is
where the new birth took place. Two things happened: you died and a new you resurrected
that the devil is not familiar with. The only point of contact of the devil to
man was the portion of his (devil) input into man from the beginning which
Christ has undone by the reason of Christ’s death and resurrection.
At receiving Jesus, there
are changes in all areas of your life. It is a spiritual reality. When a man
gives his life to Christ, there is a change in the spiritual authority over his
life. It means renouncing the citizenship of a particular kingdom for another;
no matter what is done in the kingdom left behind, it holds no authority over
you because you are now answerable to another head.
“He
has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom
of the Son of His love” Col 1:13
Now, let us assume
there is a curse in your father’s house that has been evident over the years. You are from family X, it is very much
impossible for that curse to come on me because I belong to family Y; I do not
carry the blood that flows in your family which the curse operates on. So also,
as soon as you come into Jesus, something happened to your blood which the
curse recognizes and can take advantage of.
Consequently, you are
no longer in the kingdom where darkness has authority and jurisdiction. No matter
how thick the evil in your father’s house may be, since the only thing that can
make you respond (the blood) has been replaced with that of Christ, any call on
you is only an exercise in futility.
Curses are spiritual, so,
it definitely does not operate on physical blood. Jesus’ blood becomes yours at
the moment of your new birth, Jesus shares His brotherhood with you and makes
you an heir of God. This means you are now a son of God in the Spirit. It is
not a deal that a curse is running through your family but it becomes a problem
when you feel the curse can still run on Jesus’ blood that you now carry.
“Now,
therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with
the saints and members of the household of God”
Eph 2:19
If the curses of your
father’s house can afflict Jesus and defeat God, then, I humbly accept it has
power over you. However, if this is impossible, no curse can be transferred to
you.
“For
you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” Col 3:3
What about those who
are genuinely in Christ but still see the symptoms of a generational curse in
their life? Since you came to Jesus it has been erased, it cannot cross that
line, however, you need to grow to see this for yourself and take your victory.
It is the truth you know that can work for you.
“But
remember this, that if a father dies and leaves great wealth for his little
son, that child is not much better off than a slave until he grows up, even
though he actually owns everything his father had”
Gal 4:1
Your growing up is in
studying the scriptures to see what the new birth offers you. Too many people
have believed so much in the tales of the devil and this keeps them trapped. There
is no sustaining deliverance outside of God’s word. Believing what God calls you
is setting Him up to stand by His word.
Friend, in this
kingdom, curses do not reign, ignorance only gives the appearance of curses a
voice. Get rooted in God’s word.
