Self imposed curses

Genesis 27:11-13 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man: My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].


Everyday majority of people find themselves in very tight situations and end up cursing themselves through the words they pronounce on themselves which gives the enemy the legal right to come and do havoc in their lives. Words like, " I am a failure, I cannot make it, I am good for nothing, everyone hates me, I am dead, No one will ever marry me," etc. 


Now if they say them jokingly in conversations they may not take effect because as the Bible says as a man believes in his heart so is he. Some people never believe what they say that is why some pronouncements never take root but there are those who from deep in their subconscious mind it has really downed on them that they are failures, will never make it etc because of various occurrences that have happened in their lives.  They really get to a point where they say what they mean and mean what they say based on external evidence and circumstances. At some point they have lost hope after trying endlessly but in vain. 


Where in the bible do we see this. Rebecca the mother to Jacob declared that let a curse be on her instead of Jacob for disguising as Esau before his father Isaac.  We never hear her mentioned again after this chapter meaning the curse ushered in her death. The Jews desired Jesus to be killed instead of Barabbas and went ahead to declare that let his blood be on us and our children. That curse on themselves has brought countless trouble to the Jews over the years for having killed an innocent person due to false accusations. Now both instances can be allegorically interpreted in light of death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ how he became sin for us that we may be made free. 


Having known this, child of God let the Word of God be your meditation and daily pronouncement, let it be your daily profession for by it you will make your way prosperous and have good success.

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....
