Extensional Curse


Last post was about extensional blessings, how people get blessed simply because they are close to someone who walks with God, so they too get a part of the overwhelming blessings of God.

But do you know that one can also be cursed simply because of association or relationship with wrong people. 

When the wall of Jericho was pulled down by the Israelites on their way to Cannanland, Joshua placed a course saying such a person will lose his first and last born. (Joshua 6:26).

And guess what? Surely the man who indeed rebuild Jericho lost his first born at the starting and his last horn at the finishing. (1 Kings 16:34)

Curses are powerful. Sometimes we find ourselves in the middle of these things. The children of Hiel (the man that rebuild Jericho) just happen to be the crossfire victims. Their dad rebuilt the wall, but they were the ones that suffered it.

The same thing also happened with Achan - the man that brought trouble upon the whole nation of Isreal simply because he stole. Isreal lost 32 men because of what Achan did. Someone did the act, someone’s suffered for it.

The family of Haman (which some were innocent) were hanged alongside Haman simply because of what He did.

As there are extensional blessings, there are also extensional curses. Some folks found themselves suffering because of what someone in their lineage has done. The children down the generational line of Ham suffered the curse Noan placed on him. 32 innocent men died because of what Achan did.

Glory to Jesus that He came to redeemed us from all manner of curse, but we got to be careful or else we would suffered greatly for what we do not know. Ignorance is not a defense.

That is why as Believers, we have the Homy Spirit to guild our path and help us become better, wiser and stronger. 

It is very possible that you are suffering for something that you are not directly responsible for or someone close to you is responsible for it.

Hallelujah - Jesus has given us victory over all manner of curses through his blood shed in Calvary.

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...

If Men Were God

He sends  rain  on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44 It's raining as I type this post and I remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:45 where he talks about  God sending the rain on both the just and unjust. God won't because are a sinner or a bad personal withdraw the rain from Falling on your side. One special trait we are to emulate from God is that we should not discriminate. If men were God, the rain will be raining only on the good, the sun will be shinning only on the perfect. We humans readily discriminate, we isolate those we feel are not perfect or good. We see those who have sinned as been candidates of hell as if we haven't sinned before. One major problem of our society is discrimination. Even in church, we discriminate, we see that prostitute and we readily condemned her. We readily forget that as children of God, we don't just do good to good people, we are to do good to everybody. It doesn't matter how bad a person might be, you ...
