Breaking generational curses - Pt. 2
CURSES ARE unseen and unidentifiable forces speaking against one’s well-being, progress or existence. It can be an instrument for punishment or for persecution. You see the effects manifesting physically, but the cause or source remains unseen. It can come from man, from Satan or even from God. That which is from God is called divine curses. Now, all of them can turn generational if not properly dealt with. That is, they can be transferred from parents to their children, children’s children and it goes on and on. From one generation to another. For example, if the generation curse (punishment) is poverty, every generation that comes up from that lineage will be poor, living in terrible financial, economic struggles. If it is sickness, you find out that their generations will always come with the same pattern, type of ailment or even worse than those before them. And some you find that they will always die young or violently. Generational curses tend to grow worse or more difficult over time. True.
Now, what are the things that can bring about curses that can turn generational? Idolatry, immorality, stealing, treachery, murder, mockery, disobedience, betrayal, etc. All these can bring terrible generational curses to a family or a place. Yes, individuals, families, cities, nations and environments can be cursed. You can find all these in the Bible. They are well documented in my book Breaking Generational Curses: Claiming Your Freedom by Gabriel Agbo, because space and time will not allow us to exhaust them here. Now can we take them one after the other.
IDOLATRY/OCCULTISM
One of the things that immediately attracts divine curses that will always run generational is idolatry. Idolatry is simply giving God’s place or worship to other things. It means leaving the Creator to worship the created. This worship could be to Satan, to spirits, to demons, angels, humans, animals, objects, etc. Or to their inanimate representation in rocks, stones woods, images, objects, etc. Any form of diversion of God’s place and worship to any created being, object or idea is idolatry. Those whose parents practised occultism, idolatry, witchcraft will always have a heavy generational price to pay and the deeper the practice the harder the consequences. Curses that follow idolatry and occultism are often difficult and terrible. And this is what many families are going through today – untimely deaths, mental illness, lack of progress, violent crimes, consistence generational marriage failures, etc. Forces, powers beyond their control cause these to happen to them. True.
The only worship that God accepts is the one that is coming to Him through His only begotten son Jesus Christ. Anything short of this will definitely attract God’s punishment (curses). God hates idolatry with a passion. No wonder that He has always said that it is distasteful and abominable to Him. He calls it spiritual adultery, spiritual harlotry and union with demons. And the Bible has always identified Satan the Devil as the head of all idolatry and occultism. If you are into any form of these occult practices, just know that you are inviting curses upon yourself and your next generations. You and your next generations will battle with unseen hindrances.
We have read it before and I beg to repeat it here.
Again, listen to God in Exodus 20:2-6: He said that he will punish the children of idolaters and occult people for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth generations. My God! This is terribly fearful! Remember every item on this table of Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 is standing. They are not dispensational, not sacrificial and not ceremonial. They don’t change with time or people. They are not about old and new testaments periods. They are eternally standing rules. Many people, families and communities are going through these unseen restrictions today. We will continue next week. Share this message. God bless you!
