6. Deliverance: The Bible WayIn subsequent weeks, I am starting a series of articles on generational curses. I know it is a contentious and controversial issue just like whether a Christian can be possessed by demons but I will delve into it. I will tackle issues from what God says about curses, deliverance from them and be sure I will kick some sacred cows in this area.

What is A Curse?
First let me just say clearly that it is the opposite of blessing. A blessing is the ability to prosper so a curse is the opposite.
Just like a blessing, a curse starts with words. A curse is considered to possess an inherent power of carrying itself into effect. A curse can also be a condemnation just as in Adam’s case.
A curse can also function in one’s life due to some actions. Curses will operate in a life of a person not because God has cursed them but just because they have acted in a manner that evokes a curse.
Duet 28 is a documentation of curses and blessings all as a result of actions.
Curses are never good but every good and perfect gift comes from God, the father of lights. Actions of some places have caused a curse to operate in some countries and even families but I have some good news-JESUS CAME!!

Generational Curses
From the way I have heard people say and the way I understand the way it is defined (I stand to be corrected), this is the definition:
Generational curses are those that are a result of actions of our ancestors e.g. murder, witchcraft or even being consecrated to demons when we were young.
The other aspect I usually hear is that Christians are under generational curses and therefore must seek for deliverance every once in the while so that they get free.
These curses cause among other things; failure to marry, adultery, miscarriages and divorce.
From what I have also heard, whether you get saved or not, it doesn’t matter so you have to continuously repent for your ancestor’s sins.
Next week(29th JUNE) I will analyze the above facts in light of God’s Word and brace yourself for stimulating and enlightening study of this subject.
