Title: Deliverance from wrong foundations (Dr Daniel Shu).

Key Passages: Ezekiel 18 V 1-3 ; Lam 5v7 ;Exodus 5 V 7-6

Introduction: What kind of foundation are you laying for your children? We need to destroy the wrong foundations we inherited so it shouldn't affect us, but we equally need to lay down a good foundation for future generations.

There are 3 main sources of wrong foundations namely:

1.       Inherited family traits

2.       Inherited family curses

3.       Inherited demonic family curses.

A. Inherited Family Traits.

The story of Abraham and his descendants illustrates this perfectly. Here, we see sterility running as a major family trait in Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel. Although Abraham was separated from the wrong foundation of Idol worship etc, Nahor wasn't. The consequences visited the family to the 4^th generation. Medically, there are certain diseases which are inherited such as; Sickle cell anaemia, Diabetes, Hypertension affecting several generations.

B. Family Inherited Curses.

The story of David and the tragedy of his family, vividly illustrates a family inherited curse. Incest in David's family, can be traced right back to his grand father Perez (a fruit of the incestuous relationship between Judah and his daughter in-law, Tamar)!   David unfortunately, built a further wrong foundation (immorality) for his descendants, by committing murder and adultery. If we do not severe (separate) ourselves from wrong foundations, they will affect us!

C.  Family Inherited curses.

Mathew 27:24-25 (curse on Israel). Curses occur when a family practices or is involved in: witchcraft, idolatry, traditional rites, Satanism and Initiation rites of any sort.

Children's teeth set on edge (manifestation of wrong foundations).

1.       Sexual manifestations: immorality, incest, pornography, homosexuality, prostitution, sexual pervesion

2.       Financial problems – wastage (spend thriftiness), stagnation etc

3.       Premature and untimely death, dashed hopes, miscarriages, divorce etc

No longer us this Proverb

Gal 3:13-14, 2 Cor 5:17, Heb 2 V14-15

Jesus has accomplished the victory. We need to know it , Accept it and claim our deliverance for this to be Incorporated in us!

Keep your deliverance!  

 

Exercise:

1.       Discuss how David's act, affected his family negatively.

2.       When you look around, can you see instances of wrong foundations at work in your family, or another family you know about?

3.   Pray for each other.

Glad to serve,

Innocent

Title: Authoritative Praying and Deliverance (Dr Daniel Shu)

Key Passage: Mathew 17: 14-21

 

Faith is necessary to exercise authoritative prayers. Although faith is not seen ("small like a mustard seed"), we can see the effect and victory of faith, implying, we see FAITH in ACTION.

 

There are however, 2 prerequisites for AP:

a. Faith

b. Fasting

 

Deliverance is not only from demons, but from satanic activity and influence equally. Heb 2:14 -15; Rom 7:21-24. From these passages, we can identify 3 domains from which we need deliverance:

 

1. Sinful habits

2- Wrong foundations

3- Demonic activities and their consequences.

You're the man

Hi all,

 

Everyone loves gold (well almost). How do we get such a valuable piece of metal though?

 

Gold that is extracted from the earth's crust contains a presence of silver to the extent of about 10%.To make gold acceptable and usable, it becomes important to remove this silver. Refining is the most spectacular part of the process. Silica, borax and soda ash are added to the dried precipitate, which is heated in a furnace. This results in a miniature smelting operation. On the top of the melt is the slag containing the impurities, while the molten gold's greater density causes it to sink to the bottom...(http://www.miningbasics.com)

 

As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise (Prov 27 verse 21).

 

What is our attitude when we receive praise? Praise, it seems, should serve to bring out the finest in man, rather than destroy him. The later seems to be more frequent than the former. It is recorded, that Moses spoke with God as a man speaks to his friend yet, he was called the meekest man alive!

 

 It is Ok to feel good about our achievements and even decorate our office space with all our trophies and certificates. The danger though, is in how your mind perceives this and how you handle that. All said and done, all we have, all we are, all we've achieved and all we will ever achieve is completely dependent on God's grace. Why not acknowledge His blessings therefore, as coming from Him alone! 

 

My wife made this profound observation after returning from her cousin's funeral : ' Dear, man is nothing!". As she saw the lifeless body of this youngman, it suddenly dawned on her, we are completely sustained by God's grace alone.

 

I invite you to consider, your relationship with the ONE, that many have tried to wipe out of their minds, but still have to face in Judgement. It all begins with seeing yourself trully as you are...

 

You are worthy of His sacrifice!

Inno
