...experiencing God's presence
We are doing it again this Saturday 17/12/22… Kindly give your support if you can, and if you can’t, God will still bless you. Bisola Johnson Foundation GTBANK 0556216620 Naira 0556216637 USD God bless all. It is not how much you give but how large your heart is towards your giving.
“I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades” (Revelation 1:18, NIV)
You cannot understand how much key is important until you ever been locked out of your car or house or promise land; and you cannot gain entrance into your own properties or a much-desired place. It can be very frustrating, depressing and inconvenient. Not having the right keys can keep you stuck in a point and unproductive. It steals your time and can steal your peace and joy if you let it. The Israelites were stuck in the wilderness for 40 years, perambulating on a location until it got to Deuteronomy 1:6-7, when God released key of direction to His people.
6 “The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. 7 Turn and take your journey, and go to the mountains of the Amorites, to all the neighboring places in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowland, in the South and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates.”
God has a call on our lives, each life individually, and on us all corporately. Some of us have delayed far too long in embarking on the pursuit of that call. I know I have too. All what the Israelites needed to do was to turn, but rather they were only going on circle. Does that make sense to you and I? All we just need to do like the Israelites is to turn away from our superfluity of naughtiness and filthiness,
turn from our human wisdom and selfishness to receive the engrafted Word of God that is able to save our souls. All we need to do is to turn from emulating worldly affairs and set our minds on the things above (Colossians 3:2; Romans 12:2).
Have we turn away from our waywardness to embrace submission to His will?
James 4:7 KJV “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
The ALMIGHTY GOD is most powerful. He is caring, loving, and wants the absolute best for His children. Unfortunately, most of the sons of Adam behave like rebellious teenagers against the FATHER and His CHRIST.
We have to remind ourselves and our fellows to submit ourselves before the ALMIGHTY. This alone will allow us to resist the devil and watch him flee from you. This will be in thoughts, deeds, emotions, and all things; it begins with submission to the ALMIGHTY!
The “Turning” here could be the key many of us need to open mighty gates the enemy had positioned our ways.
For some, the keys we need may be “Prayers” little wonder it is said that prayer is the Master Key. Jesus started with prayers and ended with prayers – He prayed to the Father, not to men as many are doing today. Jesus prayed, He didn’t depend on elements like water, oil, prophets’ mantle, wrist bands, etc as the culture today amongst so called ‘believers’.
John 17:1, “These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.”
On a spiritual level, we need keys to access what God has for us—eternal life, peace, freedom, and blessing. But we don’t have to stand on the outside and be frustrated because the good news is, Jesus holds the keys, and He has opened the way for us to walk from death to life. We don’t have to live in defeat, mediocrity, sickness, sin, or any kind of bondage any longer. We have access to the abundant life Jesus came to give!
Someone may ask, why do I need a key? The blessing of God is not for Jik and Harry. All of us keep things that are most important to us safe under lock and keys. So, why do you think God would do less? To avoid wastage and undervalue, it has to be lock up to be released to those who desire and deserved it. I once gave many of my Books to people, but I later realized that greater number of them never open the Book to read. Jesus said, Matthew 7:6 –
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
It may sound harsh, but it is an important principle for the man or woman of God’s righteousness. It can be difficult for the principled Christian to know when to speak and when not to speak. There are those that are so hardened to the truth that to give it to them only adds fuel to the fire or their unbelief.
Today, if you feel stuck, locked out, or defeated; remember, Jesus is the one who holds the keys. All you have to do is call on His name and He will answer. He promises to hear you and will deliver you! Call on His name today and receive the salvation and deliverance He has already prepared for you!
Jesus Christ further said, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven” (Matthew 16:19).
We all know that Keys represent access. Keys represent authority. Whether it’s a key to a building, car, or safety deposit box; if you’ve been given a key (Access) to something, it means you have a right to use it. You have access to whatever that key will open.
Friend, because of Jesus, we have the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven! We have access to all the heavenly blessings and promises that are in the Word of God. And, we have the authority to take hold of those promises. Do you believe in those promises? Even it is not enough to have the keys, but more importantly, we must use it to the glory of God. Many have the keys, but guilt of the past is robbing them of the joy, blessings, peace and abundance that the access could give them.
There are many seemingly blessings in the world from satan, but the true blessings is in the hands of God. The scripture says in James 1:17 that:
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; (Revelation 3:7 KJV)
So, whatever we need access to, let us go to God in prayer to receive the keys we need to open doors. And to those who already have the keys; Are you using the keys that you have been given—the keys of faith and the power of your words (Revelation 12:11), and actions? No matter what you may have need of—be it physical healing, provision, wholeness, freedom from addiction—you have been given the authority to access it in Jesus’ Name! Take hold of those promises by faith and begin to declare that every need is met according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Take a step of faith today and use those keys you have been given to take hold of every blessing God has in store for you! Do not be afraid of death, Christ holds the keys. Only Him has the Keys to your joy, peace and blessings. No man has it, no pastor or prophet has it.
A PRAYER
“Father God, thank You for giving me access to every promise and blessing in heaven. By faith, right now I receive everything You have for me. I surrender every area of my heart to You and ask that You make me whole and complete. Set me free from anything that would keep me from You. Help me stay focused on Your Word which empowers me to live in the victory You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name I have prayed.
No matter how things are difficult, DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST
Blessings!

Congratulations To Late TB Joshua, He Made It To International List Of False Prophets
TB Joshua was an African televangelist who has spread a number of fake unverified healings, uncountable number of his victims left the Synagogue and return home to die, false teachings, deliverances and false prophecies over the past several years. His teachings have had a destructive impact on the lives of many people, and his false prophecies have led to a great deal of unnecessary suffering. I’m glad to see him listed on the International List of False Prophets, and I hope that this will help people stay away from his false teachings. Late TB Joshua fought tooth and nail to be known internationally, yes, he got known and famous, but he is known for who he truly is. TB Joshua’ dream was to be famous and globally known which he did well for himself through occultism, using young innocent virginity to step up his demonic powers he acquired over years. Today, TB Joshua is well known as a false prophet.
Unfortunately, before TB Joshua expired, he has polluted the earth through his baby snakes he hatched in different country. He never preached Jesus Christ to be known, but his demonic powers to initiate people into darkness. He sold strange water from his village source, he gave people hand beads, lanterns, his personal picture, handkerchiefs, and many strange objects. We must be very careful, it is by faith we follow God, not through elements.

Kindly join the broadcast on Sunday 9th, October 2022, at 7PM Nigeria time, I will be hosting Apostle Richard Takim, on “Freedom To The Captives Platform” on my YouTube channel, Facebook and Twitter. My social handle is Bisola Hephzi-bah Johnson, KIndly save the date and share. God bless you.
Considering the way that we find ourselves these days; there’s illness, abuse, broken relationships, betrayal, sorrow, injuries, heartache, disappointment, crime and death. If you’re like me, you probably may have been asking the question, “Why? Why me? Why now?”
That “why” question goes back thousands of years even in the Old Testament by Job and the writers of the Psalms, Ps 42:5 “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.”
Job 6:8 “Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!”
This question became more frequently asked during the 20th century, when we witnessed two World Wars, the Holocaust, genocides in the Soviet Union and China, devastating famines in Africa, in Nigeria, Boko Haram are raging hot, the killing fields of Cambodia, the emergence of AIDS, Ebola, Monkeypox, Covid-19 and many strains attached to it, raging hurricanes creating floods everywhere, the genocide in Rwanda and the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo.
Aside natural disaster, there are also man-made disaster – The 21st Century didn’t start any better considering the 9/11 attack, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, all the civil revolutions in the middle east and Ukraine-Russia war, corruption in Africa that leaving many in abject poverty are add up for those whose loved ones paid the ultimate price to ask the ‘why’ question.
Why are all these things happening if there’s a loving and powerful God? Why do bad things happen to good people?
But if you’ve never asked why our world is infected with pain and suffering, you will when they strike you with full force or they come to a loved one. And Jesus told us that they are coming. Jesus was honest because He told us in John 16:33; ‘You will have suffering in this world…’ not that you might – He said
it is going to happen.
No one can understand God’s mind to ascertain the ‘why’ question because: ‘For now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known ((1 Corinthians 13:12) (NIV)).’ I want us to know that this was the same question that the Israelites asked Moses; ‘why’ he brought them to the desert to die rather than left in Egypt to die as slaves. The bible makes it perfectly clear that; ‘And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28)’. It is not easy going through some of these things as humans but Paul in the above quotation lets us to know that God has the best intention for us no matter how much we hurt or hurting. Remember what the Prophet Jeremiah 1:5 and 29:11 say. We were chosen by Christ for a reason (John 15:16). As bad as it may sound, that reason why we ask ‘why’ may be God’s only way to take us to our promised land. Put your trust in God and ask Him to use your ‘why’ question to make you a better person.
PRAYER POINT:
Lord, use my ‘why’ question to enlighten my mind concerning Your plans for my life. Use it to bring me up and make me a better person always, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.
My Dangerous Encounter with T. B. Joshua
By Justus Nwakanma
Whatever you are going to read in this piece happened. I am putting this up in a very simple narrative that people will understand. I am not publishing this to condemn anybody or to praise anybody.
Every child of God owes it a duty to narrate his experiences to encourage others on this pilgrimage called life.
I will keep the names of some of my senior editors and colleagues secret as I have no permission to use their names here. But many of them are my friends on Facebook and may be reading this piece.
In 2001, I did a story on a lady who was taken to The Synagogue Church of all Nations(SCOAN) for healing. She did not survive after that. Her mother was furious and said she suspected foul play. That story was published in Saturday Champion.
As was normal with me then, I loved to travel all over Nigeria to investigate feature stories. Earlier I had submitted a proposal to travel to do a feature story on the devastation of erosion in the five South East States. I embarked on the journey the week the story was published. We had a tradition in Champion newspapers then. Whenever you traveled, you were expected to report at the state office of the state you traveled to. This was to ensure transparency and for contact and logistics support.
I traveled on a Saturday and on Sunday evening, I reported at the state office at Rotibi Street Owerri. I was barely 30 minutes in the office when the phone rang. There was no GSM then. The Correspondent picked the phone, and I overheard my Editor asking if he had seen me in Owerri. The Correspondent said I was there with him. The Editor demanded to speak with me. He asked me a few questions and added that I should produce a good story. I thanked him. He hung up.
But I became curious. He asked me when I left Lagos, when I arrived in Owerri, the hotel where I was staying, etc. Some of the questions were already answered in the application to travel I submitted to him which was approved and money advanced to me.
Unknown to me, the story of the Lady at the Synagogue had caused an earthquake. They didn’t know that the story was released to the media by one of the Prophet’s trusted aides.
I was to learn later that T.B. Joshua had contacted the publisher and had complained that the story was false. The Publisher demanded my immediate sack.
The Managing Director/Editor-in-chief then said it would be wrong to sack me as the story was balanced and that I made efforts to speak to the Prophet’s media aides.
However, the Editor was asked to carry a rebuttal or apologize. He rejected both options blatantly and rather chose to be sacked. Why did he take such an extreme position?
He said in the midst of the crisis, a delegation of the media team of SCOAN had met with him in the office and had presented a recorded interview with me where I denied authorship of the story and that the story was given to me and paid for by the Redeemed Christain Church of God.
He asked them when and where the interview was conducted, and they said about an hour ago at the Redeemed Church. I am not a member of the Redeemed Church. While they were still with him in the office, he placed a call to Owerri and that was when he spoke with him. Immediately, he concluded that there were some hidden dimensions to the matter. They were not telling the truth. How they cloned my voice, I never knew as I did not have the opportunity to listen to the audio.
I was never privy to any discussions on the matter. Somehow, I was not sacked, the Editor retained his job. But a high-powered delegation was raised to go and make peace with T.B. Joshua. The team included the Managing Director/Editor-in-chief, some Executive Directors of Champion Newspapers and some friends of the prophet, notably, late Edith Ike-Okongwu and late Chief Alex Akinyele, a former minister of information. There was also a serving senior military officer, a Major General, whose name I cannot correctly recollect now. A truce was reached.
But this opened a troika of revelations. Not many knew that T.B. Joshua had many senior journalists in Champion House he was reaching out to and who represented his interests. He was enraged that they could not stop the story. He immediately dispensed with their services.
The Prophet invited me to come and see him several times, I rejected it based on advice.
He was to pass a message through one of the aides that I and the Saturday Editor would see his ‘bad side’.
Some weeks later, I slept one day and I heard God speak to me loud and clear.”I have cancelled all the evil plans of T.B. Joshua against you.” I woke up afraid and shivering.
A few years later, I was to become Acting Editor Saturday Champion, Deputy Editor Daily Champion and Editor, Daily Champion. Before then, I had made a decision that I was not going to do another story on SCOAN and its members. T. B. Joshua began sending goodwill messages to me including gifts. I never objected to them on the belief that God had already delivered me from whatever evil he planned against me. Then he invited me to his office. I began visiting him often and we began phone exchanges.
He had a very large heart. You will never visit him and go home empty-handed. He loved humanity.
Each time I visited him, he would take me to his inner chambers, and we would discuss as friends.
But there was something strange and unusual about him that gave me great concern. One, he normally called me on the phone between 1am and 2am. There were two people that normally called me at that hour, T. B. Joshua and my friend, Ogbeni Lanre Banjo. Ogbeni Banjo was a one-time governorship candidate of Gani Fawehinmi’s National Conscience Party (NCP) who lives in America.
If my phone was not within reach, there was a way I knew who was calling me. If the call was from T. B. Joshua, the curtains in my house will first shake as if under the influence of a wind for some seconds before the phone will ring out. I told my wife and a few friends and colleagues about this.
The second strange thing I noticed about him was that no matter the distance he was standing, if I am at his back he would notice my presence, even if I am in a crowd he would walk straight to where I was. He could see you coming to him even if you are kilometers away. I also noticed that his movements were jerky and unpredictable. If he was walking with you, he may gallop or run or alter his direction as if being pushed. He would be talking to you and suddenly he would keep silent as if listening to a voice.
On October 28, 2009, he invited me to SCOAN. He was donating some transformers to neighboring communities. I took one of our Senior Reporters, Ufomba Uzuegbu with me to cover the event. I had already told him about my concerns with these strange observations. We were late to the event. T. B. Joshua was already addressing the crowd in the church. There could have been over 500 people there. We decided to enter from the front entrance where his back was. Immediately we entered, he stopped his speech. He turned and said, “my friend is here, my friend is here.” He came down from the rostrum, held me by the hand and took me straight to his office. After the event, my colleague who observed everything said I should not bring him to SCOAN again because there was something abnormal about him.
I used to watch wrestling a lot. Whenever I come back home late after production, I could stay up till 4am watching wrestling and movies. Not any longer. On this day, I was in the parlour watching wrestling with my wife. The curtains started shaking vigorously, I looked at the clock, it was 2am. I said to my wife, “it’s T.B. Joshua, it’s T.B. Joshua.” Immediately my phone rang out. “Hello Prophet,” I said. ” How are you, friend…,” he said.
My wife stood up and went to the bedroom. When I finished the call, she came out and knelt down: “Please I beg of you let today be your last day you will see this man or pick his call. You either choose him or choose me and my children. This man is not normal.” Of course, I chose my family. I never called him again, never picked his calls and never visited him.
One of his top media aides-he was running a successful PR firm in London before he met T.B. Joshua who asked him to relocate to Nigeria and head his media unit- sought an audience with me. I went to Toyin Street Ikeja where he opened up to me, how he had to run for his dear life.

TEXT
Ps. 20:7 “Some trust in chariots, and some trust in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.”
This Psalms 20:7 is declaration of God’s help that the Israelites usually chants until it goes into their sub-consciousness whenever the nation goes into war with another nation. It can also be as a source of reminder to everyone about what God’s Name is to them especially for their King because at the time of this Psalms, there were lots of gods like Baal, Ashtaroth and many other gods people run to in their time of trouble especially unbelievers and some hypocritical believers also do so. Just in our time today, people do not want to have faith in the Name of God, rather they run after handkerchiefs, oil, anointing water, and many other elements offer to them by church bandits.
Now, let us go back to the Israelites, Yes, horses are strong animals in war; Yes, chariots are stronger in battle, But they are fallible because they are flesh. In a time of war/trouble, we need a help that cannot fail or be defeated. Horses can fail, and chariots can be destroyed.
How will it look if we apply the context in today’s culture? In the midst of different distractions in our world. In the midst of end-time dramas, troubles, aggressions, and many other negative vibes around us. What then can stand the test of time? because horses and chariots are physically limited, Let our declaration of choice be put in the unseen power of the Almighty God.
We all say we trust in God, don’t we? But is God the One we run to each time we have nuts to crack? What do we declare before bedtime? What do we declare to start our day? What do we declare before or in the middle of something?
God wants us to make declarations as Job 22:28 says “You will declare a thing, and it shall be established for you; And light shall shine on your path.” May the Light of God continue to shine in our ways in Jesus’ Mighty Name.
Then and then alone the scripture like Isaiah 26:3 will be fulfilled in our lives.
As we started a new month today, do your declarations and believe in the Word.
God Bless You All.
During the lifetime of late TB Joshua, he did many terrible horrible things against humanity and using false humanitarian works to cover up to deceive many gullible, vulnerable and ignorant minds.
There was a time his building inside his compound collapsed on innocent people under his nose, leaving hundreds of people that could be identified and unidentified dead. In TB Joshua usual operandi, he tried to protect his prestige in the society, so he bribed many journalists and gave them hand-notes of what they should to report to the society. Feeding the populace with wrong information.
There were lots of time that false miracles were reported by late TB Joshua’s puppets of journalists who eats crumbs under his table. Thereby, misleading the public that miracles are happening in the Synagogue, whereas, contrary is the true situation.
Read one of the account of a foreign journalist, who was bold enough to enlighten the public of the happenings in the Synanogue https://dailypost.ng/2014/09/24/south-african-journalist-jacques-pauw-claims-t-b-joshua-tried-bribe/.

Ancestral curse can be defined as an evil or misfortune that follows a particular person as a result of being born into a family lineage; inherited family problems. A curse that follows a person as a result of the mistake of his forefathers: like Adamic curse (Genesis 3:17), Ahab curse (1 kings 21:21-26), etc. Many church people have disturbed themselves so much and caused many Pastors, Prophets and Church Leaders to eat fat from this menace. Different booklet for Personal Deliverance Prayers written by the likes of Pastor Olukoya of Mountain of Fire Ministries (MFM); Evangelist Paul G. O. Moses and many other authors contains prayers against lineage curses, premature deaths in the family, divorces, poverty, accidents, frequent breakdown of marriages, abnormal behavior, etc. It is said that at present, several churches include “deliverance” program in their activities “since failure to do so amounts to losing members to churches that include such activities”.
The belief that people’s misfortunes are due to curses they inherited from their forefathers is fast gaining popularity among a growing number of churches in Africa and other parts of the world. Consequently, millions of professed Christians are flocking to pastors for deliverance from perceived “ancestral curses”. Since Christians are to be guided by the words of God in the Holy Bible and not by the precepts of men, we must seek the guidance of the Scriptures in order to be on safe grounds on all issues of doctrine. This belief in ancestral curses has become quite widespread. It would be recalled that due to their belief in ancestral curses, five youths from Malawi, in early September this year , threw themselves into a fire after saying their night prayers. It was a bizarre case of mass suicide. Their father told a local newspaper that when he noticed his children’s strange behaviours recently, he complained to local authorities that the children had established a strange church in his house and that they commenced their prayers around 10.00 p.m. each day. He had tried stopping them without success. On that fateful night, the youths, in the course of praying, made fire with some household items which they had soaked in petrol. At a stage they took off their clothes and jumped into the fire holding copies of the Bible. Three of them died on the spot but two were rescued and taken to a local hospital.
The young men were said to have acted on the advice of a local pastor who told them that their parents were responsible for their joblessness and their not ,getting married. He advised them to burn the items in their home because that was where the parents hid their magic. The village head, blamed the churches, whom he said were misleading the people for this horrible incident. He promised to summon the religious leaders in the area so that they could explain “what type of worshipping this is.”
Another text some cite to support the doctrine of ancestral curses is the belief among the Jews of old that “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?” (Ezekiel 18:2) In other words, they believed that the sins of their fathers were visited upon the children, independent of the moral conduct of the latter. It is important to note that God rebuked the Jews for such belief as He does not deal with men in that way. Hence in verses 3 and 4 God stated: “As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (See also verse 20)
The British Empire was built at the back of conquest and colonization. The British ancestors went on a killing and conquering rampage all across the world and millions were starved and killed in India, millions more were murdered across various African nations. Yet they flourish today, and having a better living. No Ancestral curse or sin of the forefathers is holding them down. Why?
USA 🇺🇸 was built on the extermination (Native Americans) of one race And enslavement of another (African Americans). Their ancestors committed unimaginable atrocities and crimes against humanity. But today they’re regarded as the greatest nation on earth, they have a reasonable living. There’s no Ancestral curse or sin of the forefathers holding them down.
Australia 🇦🇺, committed the worst world un-talked about genocide. The aboriginal Australians have been technically wiped out. The Tasmanian Australian literally are extinct, all orchestrate by present day Australian ancestors. Yet they are living good, better quality of life. No Ancestral curse, no sin of the forefathers causing them poverty and misfortune.
Germany 🇩🇪, committed the forgotten horrific genocide in Namibia 🇳🇦. Same Germany caused the WW1 that claimed lives of millions, same Germany caused the WW2 that claimed
millions of lives, including the 6million Jews and those killed in gas chambers. Today Germany is the European and world economic giant. Better living all round for her citizens. No Ancestral curse, no sin of the forefathers hindering their growth and development.
Belgium, never forget that king Leopold II Of Belgium killed 15million Congolese and amputated thousands of innocent children for not picking enough cotton. Belgium is flourishing, developed and reasonably comfortable for her people. No Ancestral curse, no sin of the forefathers causing misfortune, hindering progress and growth.
But back home in Africa , televangelist, pastors and fraudsters called men of god are busy extorting unsuspecting individuals and families their little hard earned money to liberate them from Ancestral curse and sin of the forefathers, which is apparently the cause of their misfortunes, breakdown in marriage and business. The deaths and road accidents are all linked to the Ancestral curse and even the father’s names you bear.
Ancestors you don’t even have any prove of what they did or didn’t do. But they are your problem? But why is the same curse not holding your counterparts from across the Atlantic, whom their own ancestors have documented atrocities?
I’m sure if these five countries, UK, USA, Australia, Germany & Belgium were to bring ships and planes to Africa right now to start shipping and flying people to their countries for slave trade, millions will fight to be the first to enter.
Some will even come with their own chains, because they don’t want to be told, you can’t be enslaved because there’s no more chains. Many of your pastors and Ancestral curse preachers will be the first to jump in. To be enslaved in countries their ancestors committed some of the worst and horrific world recorded evils.
There’s nothing like Ancestral curse or sin holding or stopping your family progress or community growth or our National development. Our choices, decisions, what we’ve done or haven’t done in various aspects of our lives are our problem. The ineptitude of our leadership class running our governments are the curses preventing our growth and development not the so called Ancestral curse.
This is reality, take responsibility for yourself, and start demanding for accountability and responsibility from your government. Be financially wise by saving for the raining day, don’t eat your tomorrow today. Be wise, take right decision, Go for the gold, do not wait. Stop being busy on the rocky horse, go for the stallion. Stop wishing to go to school, go and get the form and fill the application. Stop wishing to get married, be entangled and knot it as you present all your goals, plans and desire before the Lord Proverbs 3:5-6.
Rom 8:1 says “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” The effect of ancestral curses in a Christian’s life is as a result of ignorance of who we are. Hos 4:6 “my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.”
Colossians 1:13-14 explained how and when our deliverance occurred. What Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross was Total. Let me give this analogy: In crude oil, there are many by-products after processing. Out of Crude oil comes: Liquefied fuel – includes gasoline, kerosene, diesel, motor oil; Lubricants – machineries; Paraffin Wax – Cosmetics ; Petroleum Coke – Industries; Asphalt – Building road and bridges; Petrol Chemicals; Sulfur – fungicides; Propane- cooking.
The Top 8 Products Made From Crude Oil – iCharts
So also, in Christ’ death, our Salvation, deliverance, blessings, provisions, protection are all guaranteed and completed. Colossians 2:10 says, “And ye are complete in Him, Who is the head of all principality and power.”
John 8:36 came directly from the Master Himself, He said, “If the Son therefore shall make you free (you are not free half-way), ye shall be free indeed.”
If you could believe in what your family did wrong, why can’t you believe in what Jesus Christ did Right?
Philippians 2:9-11 says “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.
