The Sins of The Father...

Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.        - 1 Kings 11:11-12

The story is Solomon is a sweet story turned bitter. He started well but ended badly. God gave the Israelites specific instruction about the tribes/nations they must not marry from, But Solomon disobey every of the instruction, as a matter of fact, He did the exact opposite, He marry from virtually every tribe God has commanded them not to marry from. These strange women eventually turned his heart (Solomon) away from God and He did evil in the sight of the Lord. (1 Kings 11:1-10).

As a result of that, God gave Solomon Son a troublesome regime, the kingdom collapses during his son regime. The son faces problems because of what his father has done.

Many people are still battling against the effect of their forefathers actions.  Some folks have unknowingly put their family into danger as a result of their deeds. Solomon son has no peace during his reign simply because of what his father Solomon did. When you do so much evil in the sight of God by disobeying his instructions, you are bringing trouble upon your household. God is not a wicked God, but when the head of a family is not aligned with God, it gives the enemy chance to infiltrate the family. The descendants of Abraham son with Hagar is what is troubling  the descendant of Isaac up till today. A father mistakes can have ripples effects upon the children.

Fathers, be careful of your actions, don't bring generational curses into your family. Some children are born into certain battles in their family and they grow up wondering why...

Our actions (good or bad) today (as a generation) do have far reaching effect over our generations yet unborn.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
