The Curse of Backwardness

As individuals, it is our fundamental responsibility to constantly strive toward fulfilling God's plan for us and his kingdom. Our lives are a continuous journey of growth and development, with our ultimate destiny waiting for us ahead. We must keep progressing toward our intended purpose, as ordained by God. Many of you reading this right now are lost as to what is this curse of backwardness and does such really exist? Well, the curse of backwardness is the inability of a person to mature, develop, progress, go forward and increase as designed by God for them to do.

In the Bible, mankind was given dominion over all creatures on earth. This means they were empowered to subdue and control everything that move on land, in the sea, and in the air. However, to have this authority, a person must first receive a blessing from the Creator.

Conversely, if someone is cursed, they will be unable to perform these functions and will be in a backward or reverse state. This spiritual curse will prevent them from being fruitful, multiplying, replenishing, subduing, or having dominion over anything.

It is important to note that blessings and curses significantly impact a person's abilities and quality of life. By receiving a blessing like the one given to Adam and Eve, people can be empowered to do things that were once impossible.

The concept of backwardness has two main objectives:

1. To establish a stronghold in the victim's mind, causing them to repeat patterns of failure and backward behavior that may seem normal to them.

2. To spiritually bind or cage the victim's spirit, preventing them from maturing, developing, increasing, or progressing physically.

I understand that what I'm about to say may seem hard to believe, but unfortunately, it's a reality we witness daily in our society. Take a moment to think about the young individuals who may be begging for money or dressed poorly, aimlessly wandering the streets. Or think about those who stay home all day without the ambition to work. Additionally, some neglect their responsibilities at home, such as cleaning or cooking, and see no issue with living in an untidy environment. Even highly educated individuals may settle for mediocre jobs due to procrastination and laziness. All of these behaviors are concerning signs that something is wrong.

Let us explore a little deeper. If you have experienced dreams about returning to places from your past, such as your previous jobs, schools, or childhood home, it may indicate that you're not progressing. This is a common occurrence, and the book of Ecclesiastes 5 offers insight into this phenomenon. King Solomon noted in verse 16 that it's a terrible evil for someone to enter and leave this world without making any form of progress.

The curse of backwardness operates on the law that says, "So as he thinks in his heart, so he becomes" Proverbs 23:7. The heart in this text symbolizes your mind, so who or whatever controls or influences your mind literally controls you; and has made you a prisoner to the curse of backwardness. In fact, Ecclesiastes 5:17 (NIV version) clearly states what this cursed individual life will be like, "Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness in much vexation and sickness and anger."

It's easy to feel like you're not making any progress i" life. But as the television character GI J" e once said, "KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE." Now that you know, it's time to take action! Start by confessing to God that you feel like you're under a curse of backwardness. Remind Him of His promise in Galatians 3:13 that "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree."

Let God know that you have had enough of living a life of defeat and backwardness, and ask Him to break every stronghold, chain, and cord holding you back. I want to support you by praying with you, asking God to release you from conforming to this world and renew your mind so that you can prove God's good, acceptable, and perfect will for your life according to Romans 12:2.

  5. Thank you for the message child of God. For me,a week never passes without me dreaming of doing an exam, which I I don't even finish it. The exam is always a technical one, sometimes mathematics. On other days, I dream of being in my old school(primary/high school). For instance like last night, I dreamt that I was to do an exam but I woke up before I id it. Before, I never understood but when I contemplated, I decided I should look for a meaning in the internet and because I got some answers although I wasn't sure if they were real, I rejected the dream, rebuked and cancelled it in Jesus name! I am praying hard that these dreams become a thing of the past in my life by God's power!Amen!
