Authority figures in our lives

Genesis 9:24-27 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.


God has divinely placed certain people over our lives whose words of blessings or curses can either make you a success or a failure. 


One such person is your biological father. A curse from a father to a child has tremendous effect in the destiny of the child. Noah pronounced a curse on his grand son Canaan because his son Ham saw his nakedness after he had fallen drunk. In Israel even your grand son is your son according to the genealogies in the Bible for example the Bible says Jesus was the son of David as well as a son of Abraham. Isaac before his death pronounced a blessing on Jacob as well as Esau and that's how they turned out to be. Jacob too prophesied how each of his twelve sons would turn out to be in life and that was so. Father's never curse your children with words like, "you will never make it in life, you will be like your grandfather who did so and so (yet what they did was bad) etc. 


A pastor too has a lot of authority over the people he leads. Believe the words they pronounce over you. I have come to experience most of the prophetic blessings I have received over the years from those that have the spiritual leadership over me. If you annoy the man of God and he places a curse on you, your future will not be bright.


Husbands over their wives. We see jacob cursing whoever will be found in possession of Laban's goods and gods when he was fleeing from Laban. It was discovered that his wife Rachel was the one who had them. After the delivery of her next child she died. The husband is head over the wife, as the Bible says, so wives never take for granted their words. 


Teachers also have instructional authority over the students they teach. Many teachers curse the students with words like dull, weak, stupid and the worst declarations like you will never understand this subject etc. Such words cripple the child and never amount to anything. It takes the power of God to break such pronouncements and do the opposite of what was said over you. 


Employers too curse. Now a curse doesn't mean that one has to be a witch, a simple word like, "you cannot do such work, your potential is limited, you take long to understand," push back the person from even trying out their best in a new position. 


We are a product of the words we have received and believed by authority figures in our lives in one way or another. A blessing or curse from some nobody's in your life does not carry weight as that from the somebody's in your life. Beware not to hurt those key people especially those who have had a huge hand in your upbringing or make amends with them to put your life in order again.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
