ON CURSES
A poem and essay by ILMA
An undeserved curse is like a fluttering sparrow
It won’t land its intended victim or bring sorrow
By believing in Jesus, curses have no bearing on you
They will bounce back to those who want to hurt you.
Believers will receive all kinds of provisions and blessings
They will be delivered from people who are scheming
Curses will be broken and Christ’s followers will prosper
They will find favor from God for being trusting and faithful.

A curse is defined as a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something. The first curse we learn about is in Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Because they ate from the forbidden tree, God pronounced judgment on the serpent who will crawl on his belly and will have to eat dust as long as it lives. The woman was cursed with pain in giving birth and will have the desire to control her man yet will be subject to him. The man was cursed with working hard and sweating to make soil produce anything to eat and survive. The curse was tied up with sin. When Christ died for us, he broke all these curses to those who will believe him.

No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there and his servants will worship him. Revelations 22:3 (NLT)
AN END TO CURSES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you tired of life’s struggles and suffering?
Focus on all that God offers and his blessings
Christ’s second coming brings an end to curses
It is the day of fulfillment of all his promises.
The throne of God will be there so all can praise Him
It will be a joyful event for all those who believed
No longer will there be tears, sorrow or pain
It will be the day when all will proclaim his name.

Curse is defined as a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something. Some of our families might have passed on to us some curses that have been there for many generations without even being aware of it. Deuteronomy 28 discusses in detail the curses that may occur when we disobey God. A lot of many teachings of the apostle Paul focuses on warning us about the consequences of disobedience and sin. God has equipped us with commandments so that we don’t fall out of his grace and mercy. The bible talks about the end times when there will no longer be a curse upon anything. Something to really look forward to.
PRAYER
Lord, break all the curses in my family.
REFLECTION
How can you break curses in your life?
