As we dig into the spiritual laws concerning generational curses, it will amaze the average church goer as to where was all this information located. Why didn't some preacher or teacher inform them about this?
In today’s teaching, we will discover how to confess and repent of generational curses. Particularly that of our forefather can suspend the penalty of a curse that's levied on a family's life. As a reminder there is always a penalty for sin, so even though one has been forgiven of his confessed sin, the consequences of that sin still loom and require payment. This also provides understanding as to why current generations are being recompensed for past generations deeds.
In 1 Kings 21, it is recorded that King Ahab wanted to purchase a piece of property from his neighbor Naboth. Naboth refused to sell King Ahab this property because it was an inheritance from his father. Well, the story goes on to say that King Ahab became very upset by this disappointment and explained the incident to his wife, Jezebel. Long story short, Jezebel had Naboth killed and had the property released to her husband, King Ahab.
God had the prophet Elijah visit King Ahab, revealing to him not only what he and his wife had done, but how God would bring evil upon them, take away their posterity, and also told them what their demise would be like. Scripture says that when Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothing, fasted, and sought God.
Now here is the fascinating part of this story. God said to the prophet Elijah, “Because King Ahab humbled himself before me, I will not bring this evil during his lifetime. Instead, I will pass the evil that King Ahab deserved on to his son’s days (future generation).
As you would have read, the participation of evil requires a penalty. Now, based on the above spiritual law, even though King Ahab committed this evil, his humility and repentance to God led God to defer the penalty within his lifetime. However, the penalty must be paid, and as a result, it was passed on to his future generation, which again makes it a generational curse.
As I have reiterated throughout these teachings, just like in the cases of King David and King Ahab, despite their personal repentance and not breaking the established curse that was already in progress, their future generation will experience all types of negative cycles, all because of what they did during the course of their lives. If you read the history of their descendants, their lives were saturated with cycles of negativity, again, all because of something they (future generations) had absolutely nothing to do with.
Question! What repetitious hell are you and your family experiencing today, as a result of someone else’s evil? Still, because it was never identified and broken, you and your family are paying the penalty today. While I would readily agree that it is entirely unfair that we must pay for someone else's evil, the reality is, the law is the law!
My friend, generational curses are real and must be identified and immediately addressed. It is these evils that go unnoticed or ignored in families, leading to a negative repeat of the past for many households. Please tell your Preacher, Teacher, or Religious leader to educate you properly, meaning preach and teach a balanced gospel that contains blessings and cursing, and how to address both to achieve success in life.
“Again, our fathers have sinned, and now they are dead, but we, the current generation, will give birth to their iniquities” Lamentations 5:7
