Repeated patterns can be as a result of children learning bad traits from their parents. Or parents training their children in the same environment they grew up. If you were born in Mushin and you gave birth to your own children in Mushin, there'll likely be a repeated pattern. undecided undecided undecided

I the Lord...visit the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20:5; cf. Numbers 14:18) Generational curses exist . Sins of fore fathers of those that hate God are usually put away by their children if they serve God. But if the children continue on the evil footsteps of their fore fathers, they will inherit the curses.

What is sin?
Who/What is God?

Honestly introspect on these queries and find the answer you seek.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
Exodus 20, 4-6

Have you not read that God is good and in Him there is no darkness. There is no curse in God. If you are not a careful student of the Bible you will misunderstand God in the account of the old testament.

You will know the true personality of God in Christ only. If you want to know the true nature of God, go and read the account of Jesus and use it to interpret the nature of God in the old testament.

Hereditary disease, people living in the same environment, or people doing the same work (e.g factory workers, miners etc ). Many things can cause family members dying at a certain age.

But then,
The son shall not bear the inequities of the father, neither will the father bear the inequities of the son

Hmmm see let me tell you it's only the son/ daughter that can pray very well and the grace of God over the sons/ daughter can make them escape the punishment for their parents sins.

If curses can be generational, how comes the whites are never affected. Only Africans

Africans are just ignorant people, nothing like generational curses

Leave codeine alone, to think well, you need to begin to taking sensedeine.

What curse will happen to the generations of all the private-jet loving pastorpreneur and coded imamillIonaires who have cash out billions from duping and millions of sheeplesbusing the book of holy lies packaged as the word of some non existing gods in the middle east and the same legislooters,, sinators and polithiefcians who have continued to deny the common people their right to normal life. money meant to provide stable electricity looted, money meant to fix road embezzled, money meant to provide drainage so they won’t be dirty environment and crazy floods as experience by road users this rainy season stolen, all these our money is diverted to their accounts for their generations to spend

So do you think generational curse exist from this angle where every citizen remains cursed with poverty caused by those baztards while their unborn generation remain blessed.

You need to take Sensedeine to dig my angle

generational curse: and Germans are progressing after what they did to Jews, maybe Jews didn't curse them enough. Europe is still better than Africa despite slave trade, maybe we are not cursing them enough. today's america is progressing despite chasing away the real owners of the land, maybe the natives didn't know how to curse. I personally have been cursed by them that think it works but as I type am comfortable. nature pays for all actions and its not curse. if you fail to act at the appropriate time and season then the unfavourable outcome is not curse but your failure to make use of opportunity as it comes to everybody but at different times and season. if my father had a curse, that's his blessing and I am not a partaker in either. my personal actions will produce natures reaction towards me. newtons law, what you sow, that you must reap.

Nothing like generational curse for a person born in Christ/ a Christian.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Ezekiel 18 1-5
1 The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,

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?

3 As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Yes, there is.

An example is someone whose father foolishly fought those feeding him. The person feeding his father stopped feeding him and his father lost the battle. Today, the children are now chest-beating and threatening the person who their father lost to. Meanwhile, they can't feed themselves but depend on the same person feeding their father.

That is an example of generational curse. They are cursed to be beaten like dogs and to lose every dispute they engage in. Even those they support falls victim to the generational curse. Whoever they support loses.

The sin of idolatry from a father can bring generational curses to the children to the fourth generation.

Exodus 34:6–7 -

"And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation."

Deuteronomy 5:9 -

"Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me.

Similar to the generational curse of those etched in betrayal which has turned them into enlightened cowardly slaves. Their fore father had simple sibling quarrel with his elder bro. Rather than settle an in-house like brothers would, he went and invited criminal gangs who came, destroyed his elder brother's house, raped his brother's wives and daughters. Just when he thought he had won the brother in battle, the criminal gangs he invited to settle the scores between his brother enslaved him. Till this day, he is still slave in his own city to the foreign criminals. Even in 1979 as a soldier, the son of the new slave rather than help his brother conquer everyone preferred the brother of one of those enslaved them over a very cerebral and progressive brother of his. In fact they around 1995 planned on how to recapture power and by implication their conquered city but because betrayal runs in the blood, one of them went and leaked the plans and watched as his brothers were swept into prison. Shall we even talk of another event of 1992 when a brother of the new slaves ran for election and was elected, it was his kinsmen who went to their slave masters and warned that their victorious brother should never be trusted with power. That man died in prison, poisoned by his own brothers. As you can see generational curse in form of betrayal for which they end up getting absolutely nothing runs in their blood.

Generation curse is the same as vicious circle. Repeating of bad precedent as a result of unforgiveness of victims/oppressed.
For example if a grandmother cursed her daughter because she fails to take good care of her when she was while alive by cursing that her children would abandon her completely.

This is complete vicious circle until one generation decides not to curse the future generations by applying forgiveness

Is there anything like generational curse? Read THE TECUMSE CURSE or THE KENNEDY CURSE lends credence to the fact that generational curse exists to some extent,but some occurences are pure coincidence while some are traits inherited from our parents,i.e, alcoholic parents,drug users,erratic behavior and their repercussions-violent deaths,drowning road accidents,divorce,crime,mental and somel illnesses,like the kennedy curse.

I never said you a puppet, but with this comment you actually do sound like one. If you had backed up your initial position with scriptures it would have had weight but concluding such exists because Olukoya said so and does deliverance often.......

It is an understatement for a living soul to deny the existence of generation curses.
In my adventure, I have seen scaring things that defile rational explanation.
I once met a woman who narrated her ordeals in life.
She is 45 years with 4 kids.
Her story goes dz way, every March of a year, somebody must die in her family.
It started in 03/ 2012. Husband died
03/2013...her father died
03/2014...her mother died
03/2015...her 1st 'born(son) was shot dead
03/2016....her sister (sibling) died
03/2017....her eldest daughter after a brief illness
03/2018...her 2nd son died... MVA /RTA
03/2019...her brother.. Sibling.. Died after a protracted illness
I met her in February 2020...The question she asked me, why March?
She knew that death is a debt that must be paid, but she was worried about March, she was worried that her only surviving daughter might be the next in March of 2020.
I felt sad for her,difficult to tell her about Jesus christ, she knew the scripture but has recently embraced the traditional African religion.
I got home and started reflecting on the encounter and asked myself same question. Why March?
Could dz be a spiritual problem or a coincidence or what?

For everyone outside the relationship and covenant with Jesus Christ, YES.

As long as the seedtime and harvest principle is on earth, even ten generations are not enough due punishment for the sins done by some folks.

The belief (and also enforcing the benefits) in the sacrifice on the cross of cavalry is the only thing that saves anyone from generational curses.

There a generational blessing, generational curses and generational family problems/patterns.

The curses and patterns can be broken in Christ.

A lot of people are mentioning the West; some of these countries have natural disasters, some others are begging their citizens to have sex to multiply because they have an aging population.

Some have youth not willing to work, some have family structures being weakened by the day.

All these and many more are patterns and curses.

if we can inherit physical attributes from our ancestors like their height, temperament, business acumen, then we likewise can inherit good or bad spiritual attributes like prosperity and poverty. But we are taught in Christ that we can change our circumstances regardless of our ancestry

Is there anything like a generational curse?


"GC" could be hereditary when parents subconsciously pass certain innate behavior to their offspring. This unfortunately predicts some behavior patterns in their children's lives. However, this "GC" can be corrected. if the individual affected discovers the root cause of their problem; which could be influenced by a combination of different social factors, such as upbringing, lifestyle, and environment. Solutions could be a change in the environment, lifestyle, education or even being adopted by a different family.

Another solution could be if psychologists are allowed to identify and counsel families that exhibit some outrageous sociological problems in society. Perhaps, the so-called "GC", could be corrected at an early stage in life, depending on the parameter of how family sociological problems are evaluated. Nevertheless, a general review of anything in life always brings the need for a change and fresh start.

The only difficult task is that family members, hardly agree that there is a problem or "GC" with their family. Therefore it all boils down to the formal solution; an individual person who wants a change from their conventional family lifestyle has to seek the change themselves.

Generational curses are real! They are passed down through generations especially from the generation that initiated it by engaging in acts of wickedness against their fellow man that led to blood being shed and lives lost.
Those that their fore fathers, grandfather's, fathers and mothers engaged in acts like kidnapping for ritual killings, armed robbery, assasinations, witchcraft, idolatry, incest, slavery, rape, inordinate killings in the name of tradition etc have been identified to be victims of generational curses.
The solution is Jesus Christ. Accept him as your Lord and Savior today.
