TOTAL FREEDOM FROM EVIL CYCLES

No More Generational Curses

BY Michael Benson Ajayi

John 9:2 AMP “His disciples asked Him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”

           Jesus did many astounding miracles during His earthly ministry and each one carried a message with it. In this case, after narrowly escaping lynching from the religious bigots of His time due to His claim to divinity (John8:58-59) He needed to do something that they believed could only be attributable to God such as giving sight to a man born blind.

             It is generally believed by most proponents of  Jewish theology and traditionalists that the punitive measures consequent upon the sin of one’s ancestors or parents were manifested in the misfortunes one suffered. Thus, being born blind was God’s punishment for the sins of the parents:in effect the blind man was under an ancestral curse.  

              This doctrine portrays God as an evil overlord and an unjust judge. It is tantamount to saying that a pregnant mass murderer who was sentenced to life imprisonment should serve her jail time in prison with the child after the birth of the baby.

              Undoubtedly, there are physical consequences for our errors, for instance a drunk father who decides to drive a car with his entire family on-board even when he is judged unfit to drive definitely risks killing his family through an accident. This isn’t a curse but a consequence of human error. Placing one’s hands on a hot stove will definitely lead to getting burnt; this again isn’t a curse but a law of nature. We reap what we sow and sometimes people suffer for our bad decisions, this too can’t be said to be a curse, if it were, then every pain we suffer should be termed a curse. The preacher whose vehicle ran out of petrol while driving and the one who arrived late to a church meeting should both be termed cursed. 

          In Matt25:41 Jesus defined a curse to mean an execration or to set someone apart for eternal damnation. The only sin that can bring about a curse upon an individual under the dispensation of grace is the rejection of Jesus Christ. Gal3:13 say Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law therefore to reject Christ is to accept full responsibility for the violation of the entire law;and being guilty in one aspect, is to be guilty in all aspects. Sin doesn’t exist in sizes likewise righteousness, therefore, when God forgives sins, it is without exemption according to the law of redemption. Jesus paid for our sins once and for all to avoid the repetitive process as required by divine justice:from being born of a virgin, crucified according to the law and prophesies as a propitiation for our sins, thus, our redemption and justification is a onetime deal, hallelujah!

             Prophet Ezekiel spoke of this era in Ezek 18:2-4 "Why do you quote this proverb concerning the land of Israel: 'The parents have eaten sour grapes, but their children's mouths pucker at the taste'? As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, you will not quote this proverb anymore in Israel. For all people are mine to judge—both parents and children alike. And this is my rule: The person who sins is the one who will die.” Salvation isn’t transferable, likewise sins. To claim that the punishments for sins are transferable from ancestors to children then salvation should be transferable by the law of equity but this isn’t possible. This informed Jesus’ answer to his disciples in John 9:3-4 NKJV “Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.” thus implying misfortunes are not necessarily as a result of sins however, they all give us an opportunity to have God showcase His miraculous working power in our lives by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Trust God for a miracle now , the price has been paid..
