The power of the word! Everything is consciousness and the word is consciousness. Most people think the word of God is only good words. Na lie! All words, good or bad are the words of God because they can reproduce themselves. Cause and effect - apart from moral categories of good or bad- is an unchanging law of the universe.(we can all relate to the experience of being told 'Johnny you are are intelligent, you are strong, you are a failure, you are ugly' etc and how those words make us see ourselves that way and how eventually we become that word) Speak a good word, it would reproduce itself once it is believed, speak a bad word it would reproduce itself once it is believed. This law is not a respecter of persons, moral categories, religion, race or tribe. Good or bad doesn't matter. What matters is believe and effect. Once a word is believed it would surely accomplish the purpose for which it is sent(effect). Every negative word believed is a curse. Every positive word believed is a blessing. Now what is a curse? Forget all the hoodoo of the churches and vigorously cast aside the vicious cunning and craftiness of religious quacks who exploit people's fear and ignorance by making curses seem mysterious, who put a smoke of inscrutablity on what is simple and plain so that they can defraud your soul. Listen! There are clearly scientific and psychological basis to the phenomenon called curses. (Please I urge interested persons to Google epigenetics) Simply, a curse is a negative word that is believed. It is a seed - word sown(believed by) in a person's, a family's, a tribe's consciousness. A curse is a negative pattern. It replicates itself, it reproduces itself once it is believed. That's how curses operate. And the good news is that based on the universal law of reversibility curses can be broken, they can be reversed, the negative word-seed can be changed, the destructive pattern corrected. All these can be done without going to see a prophet, a pastor, without praying and begging and wailing to God, without fasting(but if your faith can be motivated by all of the above then by all means see a prophet, pastor, and pray, fast). But just know that ultimately the the power lies in You. All that is really needed is faith and time, knowledge and determination and commitment. In the same way curses operate to destroy through faith(believe), ignorance and time so also curses can be broken through faith (believe) and time and knowledge . How can this be done? Simply(but remember, simple things are difficult) by replacing every negative pattern or consciousness in your life with a positive word-poverty with riches, sickness with health, lack with abundance. Keep the positive word in your consciousness. Sow it into your spirit. positive thinking and more importantly positive believe and feelings works. We fail because we give up too soon. Stay with the positive word(faith) and in time it would accomplish the purpose for which it is sent as in the result for which it is believed would manifest- for every word must become flesh once it is charged with faith. All of reality is word, word, word. This is absolutely important for parents especially mothers. The time to create great destinies is from the moment of conception. As you are opening your legs, also open your mind and heart and take in the seed of greatness for your child. Don't just conceive a child. Abeg try to conceive along with the child, a dream, a great destiny. And it is not by saying I want Johnny to be a Doctor, a Lawyer etc. See visions of greatness for your child and leave it to nature and the inherent genius and innate ability, gifting of the child to give specific cast to your dream, to your good word. You just tell them everyday how great they are, how beautiful, how intelligent they are, tell them they are champions even when they fail. I know all this because from the time I was nine years old a negative word was sown into my life by a whole community. Yes! I heard the negative word again and again, I was taunted with it, harassed with it, choked with it. In the end I unconsciously believed it and it manifested in my life. I carried that consciousness like a shadow, it became my inner soul identity. You see, it matters not whether what you are told is the truth or not. What matters is whether you perceive it to be true(remember, a lie if carefully and consistently repeated would be made to look like the truth- A. Hitler). I cannot now tell how much toll it took on me, how it stole my soul, how it blackened my world. I am 34 now. I prayed, I fasted, I cried and wept, I grovelled before a silent and unspeaking God, I read my Bible, all to no avail. My chains only sunk deep into my flesh and imprisoned me. Only this year through knowledge, meditation and determination have I begun to reclaim myself and I am unwrapping the shroud that covered me slowly, gradually, I am blowing away the dark pall that has hovered over me. I examined how I came to be twisted, I understood how through time, having persisted in that negative consciousness, it took effect on me and I realised that if it could work negatively, it could also work positively if I replace the negative word(consciousness) with a positive word(consciousness) after I learnt of the seven principles of Hermes Trismesgestus, after I learnt through the Internet about neuroplasticity(the incredible ability of our brains to form new neural connections) neurosculpting, the power of consciousness, meditation, positive affirmations, I Am confessions, the writings of Neville Goddard, John Murphy, Ernest Holmes Google and download their books or read online) etc. It's not been easy but I am determined to be totally free and indeed I KNOW I AM FREE EVEN NOW! Now I am a healer, I am a healer, I am a healer. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Seun: There are some things that happen to us, repeating itself from one generation to another, which we can not explain and if it is evil, we regard it as a curse. Take one example from the Bible. When there was famine in the land, Abraham and his wife, Sarai decided to relocate to Egypt. Since they had no child, they moved on at once, As they approached the border he told his wife to lie to the immigration officials that she is a sister and not his wife.-Gen12:12-13 Years later, Abraham had a son called Issac. With the passage of time I Isaac grew up and got married. When Abraham died, lsaac left his town and moved to live in another city called Gerar. But each time the men of Gerar asked him about his wife he would tell a lie that she is his sister, and not his wife.-Gen 26:6-7 Now let us reason together. When Abraham told this lie Isaac was not there. He had not been burned. And years later when Isaac told his own lie Abraham was not there. He had died. How come that father and son told the same lie when they were never together? The answer is that this is a trait that runs in the family from one generation to another. It is much in the same way that some families have certain types of sickness or poverty or deaths or hardship ravaging them from one generation to another and they regard such as curse. 2 Likes |

Scholar8200: God bless you. Also,check out God's word in the Old Testament, long before Jesus,in the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel 18King James Version (KJV) 18 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. 5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman, 7 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 8 He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God. 10 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things, 11 And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife, 12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, 13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. 14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like, 15 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, 16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment, 17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. 18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity. 19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? 26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. 28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? 30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Now, to the topic itself, there is something called "ancestral curse". It runs in the family, and it is carried out by a particular demon that is resident in the family, and since demons don't die, they can live for generations and carry these courses from generation to generation. Many people who are reading this post can relate to it, whether they accept it or not. In some families, all male children die at a specific age, it could be 30, 29, 50 or whatever age, but it is very specific! In other families, it could be that ladies do not marry at all, no matter how pretty and well mannered they are. They don't just marry. In some other families, it could be divorce: either all the men or women marry and leave their marriages. In some families, it is incest and it occurs in a chain reaction. Other families may experience adultery: a situation where everyone is adulterous. I personally know of a family where every elder brother must commit adultery with the wife of his younger brother and after that, the adulterer commits suicide. Some families suffer from perpetual false accusations: a situation where a particular family is always accused of a heinous crime, and it is later discovered that the accusations were false. In some other families, they tend to get rich very quickly and at a very specific age, they get broke and remain that way for life. They could also get rich at an early age and die at an early age. In some other families, once they start buildinga house or build to a particular level, they either become broke or die. In such families people are afraid to build houses, no matter how rich they are. In some particular families, theirs is childlessness, especially for females and sometimes, all the men of such families are impotent. My dear people, if any of this issues are prevalent in your family and it has been there for long, please and please, it is possibly the operation of a curse. Don't listen to all these scientists here who know more than their Creator. Look for solution, and don't relax and think it will go away. It can only go away when the spirit responsible for these occurrences is banished from your family. You can tag it medical issues, psychological issues or whatever you like, it won't change the fact that science can't give you solution, neither will medicine. Tackle the root of your problems and have a permanent solution. The spiritual controls the physical: anything that is done in the spiritual is permanent and can only be undone spiritually. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I have seen a prostitute who abandoned her child from childbirth. The child never knew her mother and she grew up in an environment where the other kids graduated from school and became successful people whereas she ended up being a prostitute taking children without fathers to their house like her mother did What of children whose father died as a thief, the boys also took after their dad despite not growing up under him.

Some of these diseases can skip individuals or generations or may not be fully expressed in some individuals in the family- check or google penetrance and expressivity in genetics.

Pidgin2: Genetics has a wide role to play in mentally and intelligence, both good things and bad things emanate from it. Some genetic aberrations predispose to criminal tendencies. The environment only modifies or enhances traits you already carry. The right environment may prevent some from manifesting. Some things have been so ingrained in our genes and chromosomes that they are now called natural instincts.

Other people have too, we are not immortals, people live to die. The 40s is a decade of hustle by men to fend for their kids and the travelling and stress is bound to take a toll on health and predispose to death. I hope you are aware the average life expectancy of Nigerian males is about 50 years. The bad roads, faulty cars, bad hospitals and lifestyles are bound to tell too, its not exactly rocket science. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In western countries like the UK, average life expectancy is about 80 yrs and men are even marrying new wives and undertaking hip replacements in such countries in preparation for a longer life because they are well taken care of. |

Seun:I agree to your submission to a greater extent than to a belief in any ancestral curse. However it is my conviction that likes attract like as far as whole specie is concerned (since the idea that unlike attract is simply refering to part species that come together to form one whole specie) So every individual at birth is attracted to the right family through which he will experience a new life and is also given a new opportunity to be a better person. The so called ancestral curse is therefore nothing but an individual experiencing what he has inflicted upon other human beings or better put reaping the seed he has sown in a previous earthlife & so rightly deserves. That is to say that the different situations of birth & other life experiences whether we see them as good or bad are in most cases returning thread of fate from our past earth life. This explains the reasons for different situations we find ourselves in. GOD exist but he doesn't intervene directly in the affairs of men rather his will that have brought creation into being and sustains it is what work to apportion people what they deserve. This also explains why sometimes it seems like some people who you see to be good have to suffer unjustfully, but they are simply paying for their former misdeeds which may lie in a past earthlife. This law is called law of sowing & reaping & it does not punish but rather in it lies jUSTICE & LOVE of the Almighty father. Justice in the sense that the person who have to suffer unjustly in your hands have gotten redress & love in the sense that the person that inflicted the injury is made free of that which he has inflicted another and so made free of the burden. It is in this sense that the idea of reincarnation now make sense to us. But at birth we have a new opportunity to unknot our bad threads of fate from our past earthlife. We sow seed in creation in this world through our words, thoughts and deed that Must return to us wherever we are, dead or alive because they are attached to us. It is the sensing of this law that exist in creation that we call law of Nature or some call law of Karma but what people don't know is how what they did before will come back to them. Some even go on to say that there is nothing like Reincarnation. But that you cannot explain or understand something doesn't mean that it does not exist. |
