Spiritual Warfare Series: How to Break generational curses and ancestral yokes:

Do you know that you have the responsibility to teach your children the fear of God? If you don’t, they’ll keep circling “generational issues’ and not make easy progress because sin degenerates in subsequent generations.

Below are ways to help the next generation be free from ancestral yokes and curses.

1. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

2. Deuteronomy 6:5-9 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Take to heart these words that I give you today. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you’re at home or away, when you lie down or get up. Write them down, and tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

3. Deuteronomy 4:9-10 “But watch out! Be careful never to forget what you yourself have seen. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren…Then they will learn to fear me as long as they live, and they will teach their children to fear me also.”

4. Matthew 19:13-15 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left.

Be a good role model. 

Humans learn by observation, precepts, imitations or experience. 

Are you aware that experience is a bitter teacher? 

Your bad experiences could have been avoided if you know what you know now. 

Give your descendants a better life than your parents gave you- point them to God in Christ Jesus.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10)

What about Adult children and grandchildren?

The Bible points out that you still have a role to play in the lives of your adult descendants. 

Research the Old Testament to know  how prophet Eli, prophet Samuel and King David suffered for neglecting to intervene in the lives of their adult children.

Read also the New Testament to see how Timothy turned out to be an exemplary man due to the training of his mother and grandmother.

Intercession/spiritual warfare prayers will help bring back your adult children and grandchildren to God.

Even if your children have cut you off, and you also have no access to your grandchildren, you can prayerfully steer them in the right direction to God by your intercession.

Never give up on your children no matter hiw much they have hurt you. 

Just remember that children are a sacred trust by God.  Do your part. Look beyond their mistakes and look to the faithfulness of God to reward your diligent labor of love.

 Your unrelenting anger against your children is self-destruction- both you and them are the victims of satan. The devil is using you to destroy both you and your bloodline.

SOLUTIONS:
  • Forgive your children quickly even before they apologize. (See Mark 11:25)
  • Seek peace and pursue it earnestly. (See Psalm 35:14, 1Peter 3:11)
  • Bless your children always and prioritize their spiritual well being. (See Genesis 49:1-27, Matthew 19) Those you bless are blessed and those you curse are cursed. When you bless your children, you bless yourself because children are the fruits of your body.
Declarations:

I am a fruitful vine and my descendants are blessed beyond curses and are aligned to the perfect will of God. For God is working in them both to will and to do of His good pleasures. Excellence, gratitude mentality, righteousness, love of God and other Godly characters are the hallmarks of their lives.

Surely, unlimited goodness, expounded mercies, abundant grace and supernatural favors are working for us. We are a city set on a hill and manifesting the glory and praises of God in Christ Jesus name.  Hallelujah.

Spiritual Warfare Series:Know who you are, and whose you are:

Shalom brethren in Christ. 

 Spiritual Warfare is not only about casting out demons, it also involves spiritual growth in our relationship with God in Christ.

  If you know the God you serve, satan and demons  are non-issue. I refuse to spend quality time discussing demons when such times should be spent in spreading the Good News that we are Overcomers in Christ Jesus.

Ignorance is at the base of  most  persistent challenges. When we become aware of who we are in Christ, change our perspectives and mental attitude, we make steady progress.

The #strategicPrayer in our picture post  are from two scriptures 

1. “…We also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. “(See Galatians 4:3, ESV)

2.  “…you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” (1John 4:4, ESV)

If you give sickness a foothold, it will hold you strongly:

Do you know that the world is full of reasons for me to be sad and depressed?

 However, I refuse to allow depression and its evil relatives any further liberties with my emotions.  

Instead, I look into the goodness of God and let joy increase in me. Thus,  I get healthier for the joy of the Lord is my strength.

Fight that sickness: If you give it a foothold in you, it will hold you strongly.

Be bold! Be brave! Grow your faith. 

Apart from leading and teaching you  how to pray, our  ‘Divine  Health Confessions’ picture-posts will help you grow your faith in the Omniscience of God, especially in this season that medical science practitioners can no longer be trusted.

Be well my friend.  I command that sickness to come out of you at once, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 💞

Grace Abound(personal testimony)

These past months, I have been on auto-pilot. There were problems galore. But God… As one issue is about to end, another comes on. No breathing space at all.

Some strange health issues started manifesting. With the ongoing distrust  of medical practitioners,I had already decided to walk in Divine health/healing. No way would I go to any hospital and be a lab rat.

That being the case, I prayerfully confronted all health issues and healed perfectly.

In the midst of eliminating allergens, the Holy Spirit impressed me to spring-clean the home.

In the process, we discovered bats living inside the edges of our aluminium sliding windows. It was just horrible. 

Prior, we had been battling with droppings on the windowsill which we thought were that of geckos. (Ignorance indeed causes much suffering. The devil operates under the radar)

While all these dramas were ongoing, two of my adult children, who were facing adversities, had a breakthrough.

Although it was intensively costly, we successfully eliminated the bats and sealed all crevices. 

The same week that we were ridded of the bats, another two of my adult children had a near death experience. One had to have emergency surgery while the other was comatose.  

Both are back home, alive and well.

It was not by my power, or by my might. Nor was it because I was praying fervently for my children and doing righteous deeds. 

It was just by the Holy Spirit and the grace of God that abounded to me. God does not forsake His own.

 Even if we are unfaithful, God remains faithful. His faithfulness reaches to the skies and abounds to a thousand generations (See Psalm 119:90; Deuteronomy 7:9; Psalm 36:5)

Great is the faithfulness of God. Hallelujah!

I don’t know where you are at or what you are going through.  The grace and favor of God will continue to work for you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
