CONFESSION
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?
As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. Ezekiel 18 v 2 – 3.
EXHORTATION
There are strong spiritual cords, unseen to the naked eye, that connects every man to his family. Your family history has a stronghold on you. Your family history has powers that backed them up, whether you know it or not, the powers of your family history have a strong influence on your life and destiny.
Many born again children of God do not know enough of the history of their ancestors and family, this explains why many suffer in ignorance. The powers backing up your family history, accounts for a great deal of the powers that shape and affect your destiny.
Beloved, whenever you discover certain strange things happening in your life, in spite of your effort, you must look beyond the physical and take a critical look at your family history. What is happening to you may be things that run through your family line, it’s like a thread that transverse over hundreds of years through the family.
You may be a fire spitting child of God, but if you have not taken time to deal decisively with the evil influence in your family history and rewrite it, you may become a candidate in the school of non-achievement and failure. Beloved, I want you to note that, your negative family history may arise as a result of the legal ground created by your ancestors.
- Your family history are the patters, evil patterns that constantly replays itself in your family. Your family history are the generational battles, ancestral battles, the power of yesterday and the captivity of your father’s house.
- Your family history is your yesterday. The consequences of your family history will affect your life and continue to do so until you address it. i.e. re-write the history.
- Your family history is like a tortoise or a snail shell, you always carry it with you wherever you go.
- Your family history is trans-generational, it is the cumulative effect of your problems.
- Your family history does not end with one generation alone.
- Your family history can make you suffer from the cradle to the grave. It does not prevent you from getting to the top, but can strike and cause you to crash just when you are at the zenith of success
Brethren, what you are suffering today was provoked by someone in your past. In Exodus 17 v 14 – 16, the Amalakites were to be wiped out by God gradually, children born into the nation has inherited an evil family history, the innocent generations inherited unfinished battles from their fathers.
Family history are generational battles, this is a battle that dribbles 90% of people. In 2 Sam. 12 v 9 – 10, David initiated a family history, that generations after are still battling with. Family history are covenant debts.
In Mathew 27 v 24 – 25 – parents here also kick start a series of unpalatable family history for their children, in fact, they stated emphatically that the innocent blood of Jesus should be upon them and their children.
Beloved, your family history has an invading power, your family history is not a sleeping dog, that should be allowed to just lie, it has to be addressed, it has to be re-written.
Your family history is likened to a currency of the past, that can sometimes buy-off your future. It is a strange journalist reporting you to your future. Sometimes, your family history demands that you settle them in prayers before allowing you to move. The family history that your refuse to re-write now will grow to become a terrible and wild case tomorrow. Your family history are genetically transmitted battles just as physical attributes are transmitted.
Beloved, negative family history are damaging, very cruel, destructive, caustic, wasteful and aborts good things. Your family history refers to happenings before your conception, during conception and after your birth. What are those things that happened during this period? Was there a delay before you were born? Are you the first after so many children have died? Did your parents consult with satanic priests before you were conceived?
The book of Hebrews chapter 11 is filled with the Hall of fame of those who by faith in God changed their Family History.
Re-writing your family history is an assignment God will help you execute. Your prayers must go very deep to uproot ancient chains of lineage captivity. Many of those patriarchs were men and women who rose from ZERO to HERO.
Enough of wishful thinking, have a purpose, be determined, be rugged, make up your mind, don’t give up, be innovative, move with achievers, change your mind-set from mediocrity to goal getting. Pray to uproot and break to pieces every ancient CHAIN that ties you to one stagnating spot. (Luke 3 v 9) Say no to failure and discouragement. It is well with you in Jesus name.
