Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa 30/09/2025   SCRIPTURES: Exodus 3:6 Exodus 11 Exodus 12:12-23 John 10:10 Proverbs (unspecified) Numbers 23:8 Psalm 16:4 Exodus 23:25 Zechariah 5:3-4 Malachi 3:8-9 2 Samuel 3:26-29 Proverbs 20:20 Proverbs 13:22 Galatians 3:13-14 Exodus 22 Hebrews 4:16 2 Samuel 24:13-18 Hosea 12:13 KEY POINTS God's View on Family God is a God of family, not just individuals. God operates in families. Enemy's Attack on Family Two ways the enemy attacks family: curses and satanic wickedness. Curses are negative words that can cause death. Types of Curses Curse of God Curse of man Curse of seed time and harvest Causes of Curses Idolatry (God hates idolatry) Struggling and lying Killing the innocent Rebellion against parental authority Manifestations of Curses Misfortunes Untimely death Breaking Curses Be Intentional: Faith in God (Galatians 3:13-14). Build an Altar: Establish an altar where God is present. Pray for Mercy: Exodus 22, Hebrews 4:16. Understand the Sacrifice of the Blood: 2 Samuel 24:13-18. Prophetic Intervention: Through teaching (Hosea 12:13) and prophetic declarations. CONCLUSION Understanding God's perspective on family and curses can help believers break free from curses and experience God's blessings. By being intentional, building altars, praying for mercy, understanding the sacrifice of the blood, and seeking prophetic intervention, families can overcome curses and thrive.
