It is a daily occurrence in Africa especially in sub Saharan Africa, if one pastor is not conducting some ancestral curse deliverance on a particular family on one end of a town another Evangelist or minister of the gospel is seriously engaging in or administering ancestral curses deliverance on another end of a village.
The ancestral curse deliverance per se is not limited to a particular unfavorable situation, it covers variety of circumstances from financial to marriage, to business and to job etc, any extended or repeated failure in any or similar situations mentioned above is always viewed or blamed exclusively on some ancestral curses and before you finished spelling johnbull the family involved has been asked to prepare for ancestral curse deliverance.
While I agree that our ancestors or forefathers must have committed one atrocity or the other, I want also to tell us here that the Caucasian ancestors probably committed far more atrocities, murders and evil than our ancestors but it baffles me why they don’t conduct ancestral curse deliverance yet their offspring kept prospering.
I once listened to a clip on the disparity of ancestral curses between Christians and none Christians of different backgrounds or different geographical areas and I tend to agree with the narrator on so many points.
In Exodus God said that He will visit the sins of the father on the sons but later on in Ezekiel chapter 18 God said, obviously referring to the earlier statement, He said: “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: “The parents eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge” As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child, both alike belong to me. The one who sins is the one who will die” Ezekiel 18:2-4
“Yet you ask, why does the son not share the guilt of his father? Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live. The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them” Ezekiel 18:19-20
In Deuteronomy 24:16 the Bible also said:
“Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sins”
Perhaps the Caucasians are operating on this bible verses and promises while our people out of ignorance are still operating on Exodus 34:7.
In South Africa it’s common knowledge that the Caucasians committed atrocities against the indigenous people of South Africa but look at today, it’s the indigenous South Africans that are conducting deliverance to get themselves delivered from ancestral curses while the main culprit, the main people whose ancestors committed murders and atrocities are the ones controlling the economy of South Africa, they don’t conduct or administer ancestral curse deliverance, if truly that what ancestors did are visited on their children then the Caucasians all over the world will continuously be engaging in breaking of ancestral curses or else be living in poverty.
Have we forgotten about king Leopold of Belgium who committed immoral atrocities against the people of Congo, he practically and wickedly maimed lots of Congolese, castrated many Congolese men, I mean, practically cut off people’s limbs and genitals, the man committed what I will say is beyond atrocity yet none of his descendants today are praying for ancestral curse liberation or deliverance but rather the descendants are in Belgium and other western countries living their normal lives and at some point prospering, perhaps it got something to do with what God said in the book of Ezekiel and Deuteronomy that the children should not bear the consequence of their father’s sin neither will the father do.
I have not for once heard a Caucasian or Asian preacher telling their Christian worshippers that an ancestral curse deliverance should be administered on or to them for their liberation from the curses of what their ancestors did, but as it stands today these people seem to prosper more than the African Christians who have conducted thousands of ancestral curse deliverances.
Something is wrong somewhere and I strongly believe that ignorance and lack of knowledge is part of it, I believe that misapplication of the scripture is part of the problem.
Look at America, untold atrocities, shedding of innocent blood of native Americans with an intent to wipe them off their land and posses it and factly they did exterminate them but you won’t hear any American or European preacher telling the descendants of the European ancestors that committed those atrocities, that shed those innocent bloods that they need ancestral curse deliverance but rather the African preachers, after conducting ancestral curse deliverance on the Africans will turn around to pray for them to get a visa and migrate to and live in the countries of those that their ancestors committed same or worse atrocities and who never conducted any ancestral curse deliverance.
Even the African preachers themselves seek for visa to travel and live in same countries, funny enough when they migrate to those western countries as preachers you won’t hear them preach to and tell the Caucasians that they need ancestral curse deliverance. Something is definitely wrong somewhere.
On another note, all the African pastors or preachers living in the western countries don’t visit the host families over there to perform breaking of ancestral curses after listening to stories of hardships and unfortunate incidents but as soon as they set their foot on African soil and listen to such stories they will immediately blame it on ancestral curses and straightaway they will start organizing how to visit families for ancestral curse deliverances.
If the evils and atrocities that parents committed are still to be visited on their children up to the third and fourth generation and if such is the reason people fail in life or live in poverty I dare say that the Caucasians will be living in penury, their middle name will be POVERTY because their ancestors or fore parents committed unimaginable recorded atrocities.
Look at the country Argentina, it was reported that when slaves were freed in America, most of the freed slaves were sent to South America as their new home countries, majority were sent to Argentina and Brazil, while Brazil accepted and absorbed all the freed slaves sent to their country, Argentina on the other hand literally murdered / killed all the freed slaves sent to their country because they don’t want dark skin color people among them, few that were able to escape during the killing orgy managed to sneak in to Brazil who graciously accepted and absorbed them as well.
Now, how many times have you heard pastors or preachers in Argentina conducting national ancestral curse deliverance for this heinous atrocity or to put it succinctly, how many times have we heard that descendants of those that committed this wickedness has gone through ancestral curse deliverance.
Even though king David was truly from among us but of different time and age, if his time was to be during our time I believe that many of our preachers would have recommended or suggested ancestral curse deliverance to him when he was passing through difficulties after God has promised him and even ordained him to be king, our preachers would say that the reason why he was finding things difficult after the promise is because his ancestral curse was following him and I’m sure they would suggest and perform several ancestral curse deliverance for him.
How about Joseph, for sure our today’s preacher in sub Saharan Africa especially would suggest also that the reason his dream wasn’t coming through was because of ancestral curse following him without knowing that those sufferings he went through we’re all strategic to bring him to the fulfillment of his dream.
If a brother fails once or twice or thrice in business today the next thing the preachers would say or suggest is that ancestral curse is following him thus that ancestral curse deliverance should be performed on his family without even realizing that the Bible said this, “For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again” Proverbs 24:16.
They won’t consider this scripture thus encourage the brother or the sister to keep trying but instead they will start listing what they should buy in preparation for ancestral family curse deliverance, the sad part of it is that after the ancestral curse deliverances the majority of the recipients continue in same situation, for those that their situations changed how are you sure it changed because of the deliverance, don’t you think that like Joseph perhaps the time for your glory has come, that your suffering situation finally took you to your dream.
On another note the neglect or ignorance of this bible verse which says that “a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again” has made many people rushing into the ministry, once they fail twice or thrice in their business the next thing they will be told or they will conclude is that they got a call to full time ministration which is the reason why they are failing in business but they won’t remember that a righteous man may fall or fail up to seven times and still rises again.
I believe if God is calling someone for full time He will make it clear to the person, suffering or failing may not be the indication, after all Jesus made the fishermen Peter and co tremendously successful in their trade / business prior to asking them to follow Him for full time.
I have always said that there are three types of people in full time ministration, those call by God, those called by others and those that called themselves, the good thing is that all are alright to be working for the Kingdom, we remember the person that doesn’t belong to the Apostles group during the time Jesus earthly ministry but was doing the work of the ministry, when it was reported to Jesus with an intention that he should be stopped Jesus said:
“Teacher," said John, "we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us. Do not stop him," Jesus said. "For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us” Mark 9:38-40
From this chapter and verses we see that it’s alright for anyone to call himself or herself into the ministry for the Kingdom’s work as long as they are for us and not against us. Like I was saying, when some people fail few times in business their friends may suggest to them that the reason why they are failing is because they got a call for full time ministration or sometimes they conclude so themselves.
The interesting part is that both those that called themselves and those that people called are quick to get shaky at every turbulence in the ministry but those called by God are more stable and solid under turbulence.
