A DIVINE CURSE – Friday September 15th 2017
Memorise: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Malachi 3:9
11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
11:13 And
seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might
find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but
leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
Mark 11:20-21 (KJV)
11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
MESSAGE:
When
you go through the scriptures and see the effect of a divine curse on
those who were cursed, you would do just about anything to avoid a curse
from God. Although a curse from one man to another can have terrible
effects, if spiritual help is sought from someone operating at a higher
level than the source of the curse, such curses can be terminated.
It’s a
dilemma however, if the source of a curse is God. There would be no one
to run to in such cases. When God cursed the ground after the fall of
Adam, from that moment till now, the earth has not been yielding produce
to its full potential. Wait until you see what this same ground can
produce after the curse is lifted during the millennial reign of Christ!
Similarly, when God cursed Cain, it had a terrible effect on him (Genesis 4:9-15).
Cain was supposed to be the first born of the whole earth, but when he
was cursed, he became a vagabond. Virtually everyone he met desired to
kill him, even without him offending them. No wonder he cried to God for
clemency. Genesis 4:13-14 says,
“And
Cain unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold,
thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from
thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the
earth; and it shall come to pass, that everyone that findeth me shall
slay me.”
Action Point:
Examine
yourself to see if you have brought a divine curse upon yourself and
your family by your actions, and immediately return to God in repentance
and restitution.
