Bros there is generational curses, I hv seen many families suffering different types of those curses.
For example, there is a family that was delivered from the curse of untimely death, they dies before reaching the age of 30 even if you are overseas it must caught up with you.
They were delivered some years ago and now some are in their forties and no more untimely death.
The cause was that their forefather buried a young woman alive and she pronounced a curse before dying as I heard.
Am not condemning your post bcus I don't know the reason why African suffers it most, u can enlighten more on this but I still believe that curses exist in Africa.

One basic principle that determines if something should be considered as “Truth” or not in Bible interpretation, is that it must be “universal” in nature.

That is, if what we have believed and esteemed as “Truth” cannot be applied everywhere and to all persons but changes per individual or geographical location, it simply lacks the quality to be called “The Truth.”

For instance, Man can only be saved by Faith in Christ. This is constant and universal in nature. And so it is the Bible Truth about Salvation.

Whether you are black or white, rich or poor, short or tall, slim or not, you can only be saved through faith in Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins. This is the same in America, Africa or any other place on the earth.

If peradventure you travel to Australia for a business meeting and someone approaches you and asked you to pay him some money to get you saved (born again). You ask why you must pay for it when everyone else you’ve ever come across said it’s free and the person says, “well, it is because you are on the Australian soil and here Africans pay for it.”

Without anyone telling you, you’d know he’s fake or definitely not talking about the Bible kind of Salvation. Why? Because the Bible is clear that Salvation is simply by Grace through Faith. It has nothing to do with money or any other material thing.

It is the same for everyone everywhere, regardless of the race, colour, language or region.

Now when it comes to the issue of ancestral or generational curses, it would interest you to know that we have held lots of beliefs as Africans that are not “universal” in nature and having no deep roots in the Bible, are simply “Myths”.

For instance in several parts of Africa and Nigeria especially, when a young lady is over 30 and is not married, people begins to see her as someone with a “spiritual” problem. If she happen to have a sister who is also an adult and not yet married, we quickly assume the family must be suffering from generational curses.

If a young man come from a very poor background and does not “hammer” or “make it” before he is 35, then one of their ancestors must have done something to bring the curse of poverty upon the family and their generations.

We are always very quick to attribute negative circumstances ariund our lives to be as a result of the “evil” actions of our ancestors. Thereby taking no responsibility whatsoever for our own lives.

Some people even believe that the reason Africa as a continent is poor, is as a result of the evils or idols our forefathers worshipped.

However, when you use the same yardstick to measure America and other Continents, it doesn’t just add up.

If the reason we are facing the challenges we are going through today is as a result of the curse Witchcraft, Idolatery, Killings and other evils ours ancestors did brought upon us, then how do you explain China advancing economically with all the idols that have been worshipped there from several generations past?

With all the bloodshed Hitler did, his generations and Germany can’t be said to be under the same generational curses we believe is affecting us all today.

You will be shocked to discover that human sacrifices were not only done in Africa years back, different parts of Europe, Asia and other places, openly practised it. Till today, witchcraft is still practised in some of these places openly.

If the evils done in Africa brought curses on us and the ones done in America hasn’t affected today Americans the same way ours have affected us, then it is time we take a closer look at this thing called generational curses and find out from the Word where we have missed it.

What does the Bible truly say about Ancestral or Generational curses?

Here is what it says:

(Gal 3:13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

(Gal 3:14) That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Take a look at the above scriptures one more time. Did you notice it never said, “Christ WILL redeem us from the curse of the Law?” The statement was never a futuristic statement. It was never a promise of what Christ will do.

It was rather a declaration of what Christ has already done. That is why it reads “Christ hath redeemed us..”

The word “redeemed” in that verse is also put in past tense. To redeem simply means “to buy up, that is ransom” or “to rescue from loss” figuratively.

That is to say that Christ has already paid whatever price the curse of the Law stipulated by His death on the cross so it would never affect you and I today.

He bore the most horrible kind of punishment for the wrong doings of all people, for all time. The ones of your forefathers, your own and the ones of generations to come. He bore them all on His body and paid for them via His death.

And by that substitutionary sacrifice, curses whether generational or not, can no longer affect you that has put your faith in Him.

I know you may ask, “if this is so, what about Exodus 20:5, 34:7, Numbers 14:18 and Deutronomy 5:9 where the Bible says God visits the iniquities of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children?”

There is no doubt the Bible actually said that. But do you also know that a few generation after those statements were made, God Himself rendered them null and void. He said:

(Jer 31:29) In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

(Jer 31:30) But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Again in Ezekiel 18: 1-3, He reiterated this.

(Eze 18:1) The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

(Eze 18:2) What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?

(Eze 18:3) As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

After making these promises, God fulfilled them by sending His own Son Jesus to bear the punishment for all sins of all times, thereby ultimately ending the power of anything called curses over the believer.

Having been made free, the believer can still today live as though he were under a curse if he is ignorant of what Christ has done for him.

This where mind renewal comes in. As his mindset is being renewed by the knowledge of the Word, he understands his place in Christ and uses that to change his world positively.

Now he is able to think up ideas, do business right, give his best in his working place and experience God’s material blessings to the fullest.

He invests the time he uses to run around in search of a “special” deliverance from curses to plan, re-plan and execute his ideas in the right way.

He walks in the light of the freedom he already has in Christ and sees things differently.

This is the truth about generational curses. The man who has put his faith in Jesus is not under it. Because on the cross, Jesus ended the ability of curses to rise against us.

Quit running around looking for how to break out of curses, you are already out of it. Go, utilize your freedom and affect this world positively for God.

Jesus did it all for us.

Glory to God!

what you should know is the the devil isn't sleeping. Do you know what the bible call him? "Roaring lion". Our forefathers shared human blood for their idols, these bloods are speaking against the children and next generation. Some of them made covenants with blood also. But thanks to the blood of Jesus. That dosen't mean there ain't battle to fight. You can't get born again and go and rest

Princeofnigeria:
you simply don't know the meaning of generational curses. You're just blabbing.


Christ has redeem us from any curses only your faith and believe in Christ can make this happen stop talking what you don't know

I think it's you who speak what you don't know: with due respect!

A Curse is simply a "power" beyond the control of a person that follows him/her. If the curse is passed down to his/her dependants, then it is generational!

A lot of Christians do not see that there is a strong interface between the physical and the spiritual.

A miracle is simply a bending or altering of the physical/biological laws. That is why a person healed from SS genes is not just delivered from sickness BUT his SS Gene changed to AA.

In other words, even though a curse is activated spiritually, propergation of the curse could be either Spiritually or biologically.

I asked a question which was ignored:

If Jesus have borne upon Himself all our diseases, how come Christians still fall sick and go to the hospital?

Op , you lack deep understanding of the Bible.

There are generational curses , and it is true that Christ has redeemed us from the curses , but you must pray and fast to receive liberation from them . Just like Jesus said :


Mark 9:28-29 KJV
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? [29] And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

If Jesus death had automatically cancelled the curses , afflictions etc , why do we wrestle with the devil to overcome the victory he already won on the cross for us?


Ephesians 6:12 KJV
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places .

Generational curse.

Wat about generational blessings? Nigeria it must always be curses curses curses

A lot of people enjoy quoting Bible but still live in sin.. It is true christ has redeemed us but it is only for the people that are free from sin. If you are still living in sin and claiming you are born again you are still operating in the old man and the old family curse is working in your life . Some people may not like this..

CodeTemplar:
Generational curses are real. It takes God to set us free.

No they are not. Even the first place God make that statement. He put a clause that said, "... of they who hate me".

It is unto everyone according to their faith.

If you believe it's, it's real for you.

Curse is not devil. Though devils make them happen. Curse is the absence of blessing as darkness is the absence of light.

Both has a source. The presence of one is the absence of the other.

Is this a universal fact?

obinna58:
Generational curses created by God

What does he do with these curses u say he created?

CzarChris:
I find this post very funny.

Yes Jesus has freed us from every curse, but remember that God is not a partial God. He sticks to the principles and rules he made.

Exodus 20:5
You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting (punishing) the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me.

Now in the bible John the baptist was said to possess the spirit of Elijah, but he had his head cut of at the request of a small girl, when he could have called down fire from heaven(like Elijah did). Matt. 7:7 says Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Yes God knows our need, but you have to ask to receive. Pray to break any generational curse or innuendo that attaches itself to us, whether knowingly or unknowingly.

NB: for those comparing European/American witchcraft to Naija/Africa own, make una get small conscience nah....shoooo!!!

Take a look at the bolded part of that your bible quote.

lexy2014:

What does he do with these curses u say he created?

He uses it to make people believe in him

Generational curse does exist and it hits/kicks in when those at the receiving end start enjoying the good things of life.

lexy2014:

No in America there was the Kennedy Curse in which the Kennedy's family die at a particular age! Even one of them who became the president of America died while in power!!!!

There are no generational or ancestral curses. Its you Christians that create these curses for yourselves, so it indeed becomes your truth. However, its important to note that truth is not reality. Truth is a conclusion arrived as a result of your perception and acknowledgement of reality.

Truth is subjective. Therefore, there's no universal truth. This applies to your Jesus. When someone says ''Man can only be saved by Faith in Christ. This is constant and universal in nature. And so it is the Bible Truth about Salvation. Whether you are black or white, rich or poor, short or tall, slim or not, you can only be saved through faith in Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins. This is the same in America, Africa or any other place on the earth'' that's stupidity based on religious indoctrination.

Jesus is not the savior of Muslims. Jesus is not the savior of the Chinese, Jesus is not the savior of Japanese, etc.

The purpose of Jesus is to hijack your spirituality and condemn you to religion. Christianity strips you of real spirituality and trick you to worship a human being- the white man. If you're Christian, the white man is your God, whether you understand it or not.

CHRISTIANITY STRIPS YOU OF TRUE SPIRITUALITY.

False doctrine from this guy. Beware!!!

shadeyinka:

Just as there are generational blessings,, there are generational curses!

A generational blessing is that the kingdom of Israel would always be David's!

How would you class the curse on Gehazi?

Moses reversed the curse on Reuben Gen33:6

I know you will begin to say this are OLD testaments. Christ has redeemed us from the "curse of the law" and not "generational curses or blessings".

Generational curses By the way isn't just about the spiritual but about the physical. Example, Sickle Cell anemia is a generational medical issue. So are other genetic imperfections (or are these blessings?)

Generational problems could even be in character! Like the sons of Zebedee (there is no strong evidence that this is generational though).

Please answer this:

If Jesus have borne upon Himself all our diseases, how come Christians still fall sick and go to the hospital?

Just as there are generational blessings,, there are generational curses!

What was d particular age which d members of d Kennedy family die?

obinna58:

I thought d bible said God is love? How does he then use curse to express his love?

Christ has redeemed Christians from curses and no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper .
But their papas on the pulpits and prophets don't want them to know this fact because that doctrine fetches them a lot of money.
Mumu Africans
Poverty of the mind and poverty of the spirit

Family curse is real
The bible verse which says Christ had redeemed us from the curse of law, being made a curse for us; for it is written curse is d one DT hangs on d tree must be used in serious prayer.
You have to tell d devil what it is written, don't just keep quiet because of the Word dt is written, u av to confess the Word of God DT is written in d bible in persistent prayer b4 curses and negative occurrence will b out of u.
For example my dad and some people in my family had eyes problem, later the same problem started in my life , l quickly gave my life to Jesus and started serious prayer ,different kind of thing that have been hidden in body started coming out.
My point is that after u have given ur life to Jesus, some people still need to use Word of God DT is written to destroy any evil occurrence

Ostrich Christianity is that which lives in denial because of the logos!
Christians don't fall sick?
Christians don't die before 70th birthday?
Christians dont live in poverty?
Christians don't die childless?

It is this kind of kind of Christianity that collapse under a small trial of Faith.

Check out Lear Shuaibu, a Hero of Faith: but why didn't Jesus save her from her captors? Oh! She didn't claim her freedom!? If it's this kind of Christianity you have, wouldn't you deny Christ because it doesn't agree with your logos?

OP and i dont want to cal u Olodo oo, and i dont want to call u a nonentity as well, dont let me call u a fool naw, do u want me to call u an slowpoke ni?? and i dont want to say u re behaving like a brainless christian, dont let me see you as someone who is daft, ahaaa, ahaaa, ahaaaaa, wetin do ur IQ?,
Didn't you read ur binle well ni?, abi u did not see wer God cursed Adam and Eve? if der is nothing like a generational curse, den why are our women still birthing in severe pains, or is it not a pronouncement by God Himself, wat about d curse passed on Adam
Abeg u no sabi anything joo, go back to ur theology/seminary and finish ur course...

Yfateemah:

Do you mean that there is no believer christian as all Christians fall sick?

Believing in Christ is different from believing he was made poor so you can be rich.

Any part of the scripture you believe work for you as a Christian. The ones you don't believe don't work for you.

Believing in Christ brings you into the kingdom but any part of the goods of the kingdom you believe, you enjoy. You can't enjoy any goods of the kingdom simply because your a Christian.
