” But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
John 1:12-13
Have you ever heard about generational curses? They say, those curses follow the blood-line, for example if your great grandfather murdered someone, a curse will therefore follow his generations till there is some kind of compensation to appease the spirit of the dead. Some people attribute their failures, misfortunes and sudden deaths in families to these curses( ngozi). Do we not believe in these things as Christians? The truth is we believe it the more, we even believe that the story does not begin with our great grand fathers but the story of the curse begins with the very first man Adam who sinned against God. The proof is evident in scriptures, Rom 5:12 says ” Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” This means death (all that hurts and binds) is something inherited not only from our grand parents but from Adam himself.
Because there was this problem, and no-one could escape from the sins and consequences of his forefathers’ sins, God made it possible for every man to be born again so that he could be cut off from every spiritual curse that follows the blood line right from Adam. Being born again is a spiritual reality which cuts a man off from the old blood line and connects him to the new blood of Jesus Christ. Our opening verses describes the Christian as the one born of God. The Christian does not have the blood of his ancestors dictating how blessed or cursed he is, the Christian has the blood of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit dicatating his blessedness. This is why you can have problems if you identify yourself by totems (mutupo) for the reasons of answering to a certain blood line. These things are not in the word of God and should not be carried into our lives. We are born of God, born of the word of God and of the Spirit of God.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says ” Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” There is indeed a New Life In Christ. To be a Christian does not mean , you simply turn from doing wrong and you start doing right, To be a Christian means inside of you a new you is born and the old you who is possibly cursed for whatever reason is now dead. The new you is one who is blessed and is from God. When you understand this, you will understand that Christianity is not a religion. There are some believers who run to some sangomas and diviners for help , such people are ignorant of the word , they suppose the word of God cannot deal with those so called curses. Some end up perfoming rituals in villages because they have not known that they are above whatever curse and are no longer connected to that old bloodline. Because of such things, the faith of many is not effective. Faith does not triumph in ignorance.
