He or She takes after curses…

There are those demons that we entertain daily just because we think that it's nothing serious but we take after our parents or grandparents or because it runs in our families.

 

Ezekiel 18:19-20

Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

 

I want to say to you today we need to break those chains! Be it sicknesses or tendencies but we need to break those chains in the name of the Almighty Son of God Jesus Christ of Nazareth. If we keep God's statutes and do what is right in His eyes we have the authority to ask for life from Him who gives us life. The life that is within His only begotten Son; the life that breaks all chains that are surrounding previous and current generations. In Christ we can do all things.

 

Proverbs 26:2

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, So the curse causeless shall not come.

God is the Master of our lvies...

If you’ve ever been a Master of Ceremony you’d know that in the middle of your programme people who aren’t part of the programme will come ask you to say a few words because they reckon they know whoever has the ceremony. Even though they get a chance to say or do whatever they’d like to but they finish and you’d get back to the programme.

 

Listen God is the Master of our everyday lives and even though the devil reckons he knows you and wants to be part of your life programme he does get his two minutes of fame BUT then the programme goes back to its Master. All I am saying is that “hang on because your life isn’t finished until God says it is finished.”

 

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

God teaches us that reconciliation has nothing to do with who did what wrong or right.

Philippians 2:7-8

but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

 

What a lesson! God did not only humble His only begotten Son Jesus Christ before us and for us but He too humbled himself. Even though we were and still are the transgressors but because of His love He chooses to make a way for us to reconcile with Him regardless. Often it is hard for us humans to make an effort to reconcile with those who have hurt us however if we want to adopt a Christ like mind (Philippians 2:5) this is one of the most important lessons that we need to learn.

 

Colossians 1:19-22

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell: and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.

Ubuzalwane abamukelwa ebumnandini.

Izaga 17:17

Umngane uthanda ngezikhathi zonke, nomzalwane uzalwa ekuhluphekeni

 

Yebo igama ungalamukela ebumnandini kanjalo nodumo kanye nobusonto ungabamukela ebumnandini kodwa akwenzeki ukuthi ubuzalwane ubamukele kumnandi.

 

Ngiyaye ngithi uma ngibheka emuva empilweni yami ngikhumbule izikhathi ezazinzima engake ngabhekana nazo nezangifundisa ukuthi ubheka kuJesu Kristu hhayi ebunzimeni nasebantwini bese ngibone ubukhulu bukaJehova nokuzalwa kwami ekukholweni yiNkosi uJesu Kristu. Uma uJesu Kristu ethi ku-Mathewu 11:28  “Zanini kimi nina nonke enikhatheleyo nenisindwayo, mina ngizakuniphumuza” nginesiqiniseko nobufakazi bokuthi wayengakhulumi into engekho.

 

UNkulunkulu wayekhona ekuqaleni (Gen.1:1) futhi noma umuntu ezama eyakhe imizamo usuke ekhona. Okuthokozisayo ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi unesineke sokukumela wenze ngeyakho indlela ngoba azi kahle ukuthi uzokhathala. Futhi noma usukhathele akasivali esakhe isandla kodwa uthi “woza nobunzima bakho” bese ulungisiswa ngoba yilapho ozalwa khona nalapho owamukela khona igama elisha (Isaya 62:2). Ngigcwala amandla uma ngizwa izindaba zamadodana kaThixo oShadiraki, noMeshaki, no-Abedi Nego (Dan. 3) oDavide (1 Sam.23:9-29) oDaniyeli (Dan 6.16) kanye nabanye abaningi ngoba ngazi ukuthi labazalwane bazalwa enhluphekweni.

 

Sihlobo sami lapho nawe ukhona qina bese ubheka kuJesu Kristu lapho insindiso ikhona khona.

Umuntu akanakinga noJesu Kristu kodwa into enenkinga naye izono zomuntu namademoni akuye.

Marku 5:6-8

Wathi ukuba ambone uJesu esekude, wagijima, wakhuleka kuye; wayesememeza ngezwi elikhulu, ethi: “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngikufungisa uNkulunkulu, ungangihluphi. Ngokuba wathi kuye: “Phuma kulo muntu, moya ongcolileyo”.

 

Kumele sikhumbule ukuthi umuntu ungumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu (Gen.1:27). Okuveza ngokusobala ukuthi nembala buyafuneka ubudlelwano phakathi komuntu noNkulunkulu. Inkinga akusiye umuntu kodwa izinto eziphethe umuntu.. Ungizwe kahle izwi liveza ukuthi kukhona indoda eyayihlala emathuneni eyayizilamaza ubusuku nemini kodwa mhla ibona uJesu Kristu yagijimela kuye ngoba ngaphakathi kwayo yayazi ukuthi ayidalelwanga lempilo eyayiphila kodwa inkinga eyayibhekene nayo ilamademoni ayeyibusa.

 

Bheka ke uma lendoda seyikuJesu Kristu akukhulumi yona kodwa kukhuluma lamademoni ayo athi “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke?”. Ngithi mina nanamhlanje uma izwi leNkosi uJesu Kristu lifika kithi kulwa ububi bethu kuqala thina singakasho lutho. Lapho oshumayelayo ethi “kumele uthethelele” bese kuvuka amagqubu kuwe athi “angeke ngimthethelele lomuntu owangenza kanjena”; noma ethi oshumayelayo “uJesu ungamanzi okuphila akukho okunye ukuphuza ekumele sikuphuze ngaphandle kukaJesu” kuvuke ukoma kumuntu kuthi “angeke ngihlukane nezinye iziphuzo uyadlala lomuntu”. Buningi ububi kanti zinengi nezono zethu thina abantu khumbula izwi lithi asibambene nenyama negazi (Efes. 6:12) okukhomba khona ukuthi impi esilwanayo ekamoya.

 

Sihlobo sami ilwa namademoni abhekene nawe nobubi bakho bonke ngezwi leNdodana (Heber.4:12).

Let the cup pass according to His will.

Matthew 26:39

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

 

My main focus for today from our Lord’s Prayer at gethsemane is the contents of the cup that he was referring to when he prayed at that moment in time. You must bear in mind that it wouldn’t have made sense that He would ask for an empty cup to be passed not as He will’s, but as God wills. So the cup wasn’t what mattered most but its contents were more significant.

 

You must remember that Jesus Christ had to endure pain, suffering, affliction, disgrace, grief etc. just so that we as God’s people can be saved. Now whatever the Lord endured was what the cup consisted of. We all have our own cups that need to pass in our own lives. Maybe your cup is full of pride, hate, grudges, jealousy, lies, hardship etc. let it pass my friend. And not by your own will but let it be according to God’s will. No matter how painful it may be let it pass by God’s will.

 

You’re will is always easier but God’s will needs endurance. So let the cup pass according to His will...

 

Have a blessed day.
