BREAKING EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

 



 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi 

Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth." 

     The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle Paul assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is like that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord. 

   Many christians suffer evil family patterns ( repeated deaths. Business and Marital fails , insanity , diseases, addictions , poverty etc among immediate and extended family members ) and they are quick to attribute these to ancestral curses , witchcraft attacks , covenants and other causes described in the scriptures as Jewish myths and the commands of people who have turned away from the truth."Titus 1:14 NLT.

     The  Cretan church was a victim of a culture of laziness and deception handed down from generation to generation . There are families where laziness is rewarded and hard work looked down upon contrary to God's word  “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.” 2 Thes3:10 . Laziness ,strife and gossips are condemned in the book of Proverbs they result in poverty ,ill health, marital crisis , failed relationships, wars , pandemics and other catastrophes . 

   Some children were  trained to be liars by their parents (Genesis27:1-46) Telling a child to lie on your behalf is a preparation for business, financial ,marital crisis  . The scriptures says "Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation."Proverbs 3:3‭-‬4 NLT , the anointing of God's favour requires being loyal, truthful and kind to people: this was lacking among the Cretans .

   Instead of developing these virtues through the Holy Spirit they rather chose to attribute their misfortunes to witches , curses ,covenants  as it is reminiscent of many African Churchgoers with endless fastings, deliverances, conventions without any improvement in their security , economy with increased failure in the family structure and corruption in the society.
     The Cretans were known for lies and get-rich-quick  schemes passed on from generation to generation like Jacob's mother did in Genesis 27. She was from a family known for deceit and disloyalty . This resulted in Jacob's offsprings becoming slaves in Egypt for four hundred years. Jacob was trained in the art of disloyalty by his mother. This is the reason behind failures in the family structure and businesses. Loyalty makes a woman attractive "Loyalty makes a person attractive. It is better to be poor than dishonest."Proverbs 19:22 NLT
 When spouses attend separate churches it indicates disloyalty in a marriage . It results in confusion and emotional damage in children which affects them in their adult life . The spirit behind disloyalty is called " prince of the power of the air"( Eph.2:2).  The cure for evil family patterns is to belong to a Christian congregation where sound doctrine is taught and be determined to be under the authority of a spirit filled  pastor ( Jer.3:15) The pastor is trained to put things in order to forestall evil family patterns (Titus1:5) and in yout daily prayers , always ask to be filled with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit .
  Prayer: Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and savior and receive the Holy Ghost and power to break evil family patterns in Jesus name.

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God wa...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative...
