Disgracing Evil Patterns

       

Disgracing Evil Patterns

Evil patterns are negative cycles or destructive behaviours that repeat from generation to generation. These patterns can manifest in different forms—poverty, sickness, broken marriages, untimely death, and more.

The Bible addresses such issues as generational iniquities or curses that can affect a family line, but the good news is that through Jesus Christ, we can be delivered from these evil patterns.

UNDERSTANDING EVIL PATTERNS

a) What are Evil Patterns?

Evil patterns are recurring negative events that follow a predictable cycle, often seen within family lines or personal lives. These patterns can be financial struggles, health issues, or relational breakdowns that repeat across generations.

Sources of Evil Patterns:

Evil patterns often stem from ancestral curses, spiritual covenants, or unbroken iniquities that persist due to unconfessed sins or spiritual ignorance (Lamentations 5:7).

The Influence of Generational Curses:

The Bible speaks about the sins of the fathers visiting the children, indicating how patterns of iniquity can pass from one generation to another (Exodus 20:5). However, in Christ, we are given the power to break free from these curses.

Biblical Example: The Israelites suffered generational iniquities until they turned back to God for deliverance.

IDENTIFYING EVIL PATTERNS IN YOUR LIFE

a) Recurrent Failures:

Do you notice a pattern of failure in specific areas of your life—businesses failing at the same point, relationships breaking down in similar ways, or constant health problems?

b) Patterns in Family History:

Often, evil patterns are identifiable by looking at the family tree. Is there a history of untimely deaths, poverty, barrenness, or addiction that seems to affect multiple generations?

c) Spiritual Discernment and Prayer:

Seek the Holy Spirit’s help to discern if a particular issue in your life or family has its roots in spiritual bondage (1 Corinthians 2:10-11).

Biblical Example: Gideon realized that his family had an evil pattern of idolatry, and God instructed him to tear down the altar of Baal (Judges 6:25-27).

BREAKING FREE FROM EVIL PATTERNS

a) Repentance and Confession:

One of the most powerful keys to breaking free from generational curses and evil patterns is genuine repentance. Confess your sins and the sins of your forefathers, seeking God’s mercy and deliverance (2 Chronicles 7:14).

b) The Power of the Blood of Jesus:

Jesus’ death and resurrection broke the curse of the law, giving believers authority to declare freedom from every generational curse and evil pattern (Galatians 3:13-14).

c) Prayer of Deliverance:

Intense, persistent prayer is needed to break free from spiritual strongholds. Pray specifically against the evil patterns you’ve identified, using the authority of God’s Word (Matthew 18:18).

Biblical Example: Jabez prayed a specific prayer for deliverance from the evil pattern of pain in his life, and God granted his request (1 Chronicles 4:9-10).

4. MAINTAINING DELIVERANCE

a) Living a Righteous Life:

After breaking free from an evil pattern, it is important to walk in righteousness, staying close to God through prayer, studying His Word, and living in obedience (Isaiah 1:19).

b) Renouncing Evil Alliances and Agreements:

Many evil patterns persist because of covenants, oaths, or spiritual agreements made by previous generations. Renounce any ungodly ties to ancestral practices or spiritual connections that may keep these patterns alive (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

c) Spiritual Vigilance and Warfare:

Continue to engage in spiritual warfare through fasting, prayer, and declaring God’s promises over your life. The enemy will attempt to reintroduce old patterns, but through vigilance, you can maintain your victory (Ephesians 6:12-13).

Biblical Example: After being delivered from evil, the Israelites were commanded to avoid the practices of the nations they conquered, ensuring they did not fall back into old patterns (Deuteronomy 12:29-31).

- You must determine to change the pattern or enforce a change on the cycle or pattern e. g Jacob Matt 11-12.

You must break up from the habit you’ve gained from your Pedigree

​You must say it out that your case is different from the usual occurrence from your background.

-You must possess the spirit of a fighter I.e battle the matter in the place of prayer.

​you must fight to win and to break up your cycle. Isa 25: 3-4,Isa 10 :27

​when you make up your mind to be strong , God will be your refuge in the storm.

​when you are ready to fight the enemy,

God is ready to fight the enemy and he will supply strength to you.

-Engage the power of His Spirit to brake the cycle. Act 10:38, Rev 12:11, Zach 9:11 -Engage the power from the blood of Jesus

​Engage ​the power from the word of God -Involve the power of fasting Isa. 40:31

It is possible to be free as if the devil does not exist if you can fast and pray .

CONCLUSION:

Evil patterns are real, but they are no match for the power of God. Through the blood of Jesus, we have victory over every generational curse and evil pattern. Today, as we pray and declare God’s promises, every evil pattern in your life and family will be broken, and you will walk in the freedom Christ has given.

The Law of the Spirit of Life

 

                                                          The Law of the Spirit of Life

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.” Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭2‬

The Spirit brings life. That is, the divine law imposed by the Spirit imparts life—an everlasting spiritual vitality. Jesus likened this to “a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:14). We have truly been “made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1, NKJV).

The love of God is like air for us. We need it to live and the Holy Spirit gives it to us.

God’s love inspires us to trust him, be our true selves, and tell others the good news. When the love of God captures your heart, you will no longer use words like “debt,” “duty,” and “responsibility” to describe your Christian walk. Living religiously is a drudge, but living righteously becomes easy when we are empowered by the Spirit of the Father’s grace.

When you were born again or put into Christ, you received his Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing what is to come. The Spirit of Christ poured out the Father’s love and set you free from the law of sin and of death.

• The law of the Spirit of life is liberating.

You can activate and function within this higher spiritual principle through three main practices:

Walk According to the Spirit: Habitually aligning your daily decisions, actions, and habits with the leading of the Holy Spirit rather than fleshly desires.

Set Your Mind on the Spirit: Focus your thoughts on spiritual things rather than worldly or carnal concerns, which naturally results in "life and peace".

Acknowledge Your Freedom: Rest in the finished work of Christ, recognizing that you are no longer under condemnation or the dictates of sin.

2 Corinthians 5:17 :- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Ezekiel 36:26 :- I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

The law of the Spirit of life refers to the rule or influence of the indwelling Holy Spirit. As new creations, we get to live in union with the Spirit of Christ, and the main way his influence is felt is through the outpouring of the Father’s love in our hearts.

Walk and Work in the New Law by Love!

Biblical Prosperity

 

Prospering biblically goes beyond just financial wealth. True biblical prosperity encompasses holistic well-being—spiritual growth, relational peace, physical health, and the blessing of your work. It is grounded in aligning your life with God's principles, practicing stewardship, and serving others.

The biblical laws of success are a set of timeless wisdom principles that emphasize aligning one's mindset, work ethic, and relationships with spiritual truths.

According to scripture, true prosperity is achieved by combining diligence, integrity, and faith rather than relying on worldly shortcuts.

These principles are universally structured around several core, actionable laws:

1. The Law of Diligence and Hard Work: The Bible repeatedly condemns laziness and emphasizes that hard work leads to prosperity (Proverbs 13:4). Successful endeavors require energy, planning, and consistent effort.

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men."

2. The Law of the Mindset: How you think dictates your reality (Proverbs 23:7). Guarding your thoughts and maintaining a positive, faithful perspective over fear or past failures is foundational to achieving your goals.

3. The Law of Wisdom: Seeking and applying wisdom is prioritized over just gaining knowledge. Proverbs 4:7 famously notes that wisdom is the principal thing, and guidance should be sought through prayer and scripture.

4. The Law of Integrity: Honesty, fairness, and ethical dealings build a lasting reputation and trust, which are critical for long-term success in both career and life (Proverbs 11:3).

5. The Law of Generosity and Tithing: The principles of sowing and reaping suggest that generosity—whether through charity, tithing, or helping others—creates a cycle of abundance and blessing (Proverbs 11:25, Luke 6:38).

Seek God First: The foundational promise in Matthew 6:33 states that when you seek His kingdom and righteousness first, everything else will be provided.

Apply these principles and you will experience Rehoboth!

The Two Oils

 

The Two Oils!

The oil of joy, and the oil of gladness, are two oils that are mentioned in the Holy Bible.

Jesus was anointed by God with the oil of gladness, above His fellows (Psalm 45:7), but God also anointed Him with the Holy Ghost and with power. Both the oil of gladness and the oil of joy both represent the Holy Spirit. So, lets look at the substance of oil.

Oil is ‘fatness’ and ‘excess’. ‘Anointing’ is an action of being rubbed with oil or to be saturated with God, for a specific calling or need. Therefore, the oil of gladness is to literally be greased with excessive gladness; or greased with excessive joy. Spiritually, being anointed with either oils, is to be excessively anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit, or excessively having the Holy Spirit’s indwelling within you.

Both the Old Testament and the New Testament speak of the ‘Servant’ aka our Lord Jesus Christ, being anointed with the oil of gladness and the oil of joy. (Isaiah 61 and Acts 10:38.)

Jesus was consecrated by being saturated with the oils (The Holy Spirit) for the specific purpose of the Messianic Office. That was the specific calling or need, on His life. The anointing or saturation furnished Him with the necessary powers for its administration.

Jesus knew what He was anointed or saturated with the Holy spirit of extreme joy and extreme gladness to do so and said so. (Isaiah 61: 1- 3; Luke 4:18) Jesus would do so above His fellows (those sharing and partaking as a partner in dignity, office, and work.) God ‘anointed’ Jesus with ‘exceeding joy’, excessively, surpassed anyone else with whom He had to do.)

The oil of joy and the oil of gladness would give Jesus power. It will also give every Christian power. (Acts 1:8) a power that allows the Christian to strongly stand joyfully or gladly, for the things of God.

How can we obtain the oil of gladness? For us to obtain the oil of gladness and be excessively saturated with it, the Christian has to:

Spend time in prayer; Spend time worshipping God; Spend time enriching your soul and spirit via Bible Study. The Oil of gladness has the power to set your affection and eyes on the Holy Trinity.

If you want the oil of gladness, spend time with God and ask Him for it. God is a good God.

The Oil of Favour

 

Divine Favour!

This morning I took some break since I was working remotely before joining some core meetings and started thinking on the Power of Divine Favour.

The concept is deeply tied to the stories of prominent figures in the Bible who experienced exceptional turnarounds:

Joseph: Went from being a slave and a prisoner to the prime minister of Egypt because of God's favour.Esther: Found favour with the king and was elevated from an orphan to a queen, which ultimately saved her people.

Jesus Christ: The Bible notes that He "increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52).

Almost immediately, I wrote down five key points. Here are the Five keys.

1. Believe in and expect continual supernatural moves of God in your daily life.

2. The Doing Principle : By doing what you say you're going to do. when you say you’re going to do it.

3. intergrity Pays : Being a person of integrity even when no one else is around.

4. Godly Character: Being a person of character instead of being a character.

5. Live an Ephesians 6:8 lifestyle.

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Treat people the way you want to be treated.

A greater tomorrow is not achieved by strength or skill alone but by divine advantage. When God’s favour is activated, closed doors open, delayed matters receive approval, and opposition loses its power.

Walk in Divine Favour!

Divine Multiplication Principles

 

Divine Multiplication

The principles of divine multiplication are spiritual laws that describe how God takes limited human resources, efforts, or faith and exponentially amplifies them for a greater impact. These principles are frequently rooted in biblical foundations.

The fundamental principles include:

a. The Law of the Seed: You cannot reap a harvest without first planting. In the context of divine multiplication, this means giving of your time, talents, or finances - 2 Corinthians 9:6

b. Surrender and Release: God cannot multiply what you hold on to. Just like the boy in the feeding of the 5,000 who surrendered his meager five loaves and two fish, you must let go of your resources to allow them to be distributed and increased.

c. Gratitude and Thanksgiving: Expressing deep gratitude shifts your focus from what you lack to the abundance of God. Jesus gave thanks to God for the limited food before the miracle of multiplication took place.

d. Proportionality: While the harvest can be exponential, it is often proportional to the planting. Investing minimally can yield limited results, whereas giving generously or faithfully out of obedience paves the way for larger returns.

e. The Law of Surrender: God multiplies what is first given and broken. Like the feeding of the five thousand (Matthew 14:15-21), the insufficient becomes abundant only when relinquished into Christ's hands.

The main take-away then is this: To “be fruitful and multiply” in the spiritual sense is to recognize that a law of multiplication is in effect.

And (God) Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your resources. - Eph. 3:20

The multiplication that occurs is not according to man’s measurement, but according to God’s unlimited supply.

Maintain a Soft Heart

 

In Hebrews chapter 3, the writer reminds us about the children of Israel after He brought them out of Egypt. He explains how their hearts were hard and rebellious, they tested God, their hearts always wandered from Him, and they didn’t know His ways (Hebrews 3:7-11).

These were supposed to be the people of God! But because of their choices and hearts, God said, “They shall not enter My rest” (Hebrews 3:11b). This meant that they would never enter the Promised Land.

The Promised Land was the huge promise that God gave the Israelites—a land of their own—their inheritance—because they were God’s special, chosen people. But they forfeited this promise of God because of their hardened hearts.

Even Jesus’s disciples dealt with hard hearts: Mark 6:52 says, “For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.”

When we have hard hearts, we cannot understand God’s ways—it blinds us to what God is doing and saying.

Hebrews 3:7 urges us, “Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” We too must keep a soft heart that is willing and open to hearing God’s voice if we want to inherit the promises of God.

If we want the promises of God to manifest in our lives, we must guard ourselves from rebellious attitudes and be sure to maintain a submissive heart toward God.
