Reuben was cursed because of his depraved act of sleeping with his father's concubine. He wasnt cursed because he was first born.

This so called curse on first born is just superstition. Being a first born child comes with plenty pressure. You're meant to be a guiding light to your siblings, You're expected to start earning money fast to assist the family, marry first etc. all these expectations put pressure on firstborns and this has been translated to mean a curse that you need deliverance from.

I know plenty firstborns who succeed nicely in life despite their humble beginnings. Olorogun Michael Ibru is an example and its surely not because he did one deliverance or whatever. Just by dint of hard work, he prospered greatly and helped all his younger brothers climb the ladder of huge success. I have plenty other examples not so well known that i know.

When you even analyze the issue very well, you find it's only poor, illiterate and disadvantage families that suffer more from this so called curses. Will the first born of Sanusi, Fashola or Ameachi be bothered with curses on first born? Is it that the curse dey fear these men?

Pls let us put our hands and mind to make it in life and we will. Every human has the ingredient to succeed in him or her no matter the disadvantage you might have. Let us make the decision to succeed and by God's grace we will, whether we are first born or last born.

Cheers bro

what candour said.

they just have more pressure on them, or is it responsibility, thats all.

however, some of them cant cope with the pressure or responsibility, agreed.

for those who can, they generally do well.
