Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he
that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the
name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18
Read: Isaiah 28:18-21
I come from a family where our great-grandfather was a
mighty warrior. He had several males and female slaves. At a particular time
when his wife was pregnant, he impregnated one of his female slaves also. While
his wife was well catered for, the slave girl was neglected so she cursed the family
saying that because of the way she was treated, anytime a woman in that family
delivers a baby girl, and tasted oil or salt within 7 days or 9 days if in the
case of a boy, the child would die. They soon realised that the curse had
become active in the family. So they ensured women who delivered kept away from
salt and oil until I became born again and everything changed. You are a change
agent and you are in your family to turn it around for good. May you not fail
God in fulfilling His purpose in your family.
Some curses are as a result of efforts by parents to protect
their children. They may take such children to oracles for protection and the
children will grow up oblivious of the fact that such covenants will work
against them (Joshua 9). A woman had four daughters who found it difficult to
find husbands so she brought them for prayers. The Holy Spirit led us to ask
some questions through which we discovered that each girl had been dedicated to
Ifa oracle which claimed them as its bride. We prayed and those covenants were
destroyed and within a year they all got married. Isaiah 28:18 says:
And your covenant with
death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when
the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by
it.
Have you been covenanted to some deity in your village, when
you were young? You can be free today. Simply give your life to Jesus Christ
and confess Him as your Lord and Saviour. Deliberately renounce any such
covenants made between you and the deity, break the agreements and ask God to
set you free. Every curse operating in your life, coming from past generations
shall cease today in the name of Jesus Christ.
PRAYER POINT:
Ask that every curse you have placed on yourself be broken
today.
Bible in one year: Proverbs 19-21
