Topic:Generational Problems
Text: Haggai 1:16-11

If God has opened your spiritual eyes you will have discovered that a good percentage of mankind’s problems are generational in nature. Perhaps some of the deep problems you are going through now have found their ways into your life through your generational roots.

To deal with such problems you will have to identify the source of the generational problem and deal decisively with it. A curse that is generational in nature will introduce hereditary diseases and problems. In some families, there could be a particular disease running through the family generations.

In Exodus 20:4-5, God said: “Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in Heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to 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.” The above passage seems to put many of in trouble.

If we trace our generation back sufficiently, we are likely to meet someone who had bowed down to idols. A sister once came to us for prayers on hereditary problems. In her family, from her grandmother, they normally had just one child. The mother’s children were dying at childbirth. When this sister realized that there was a curse on the family, she came for deliverance and she is a proud mother of four children now. What you are going through today may be traced to ancestral curses. Do not allow parental curses to remain in your life.

Memory verse: Haggai 1:7 - “Thus salt the LORD of hosts, consider your ways.”
