*THE CHRISTIAN CAN’T BE CURSED*

_Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing_ *(1 Peter 3:9)*

Some people gripe about the circumstances of their lives, thinking the reason things aren’t working out is that they’re perhaps under a curse. But if you’re a Christian, the Word of God is clear: you can’t be cursed. No family curse, ancestral curse, or a curse from the enemy can work against you. Only blessings are permitted to work and prevail in your life.

Ponder again what we read in our opening scripture: you were called to inherit a blessing. Moreover, the Bible says, *“...If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature...”* (2 Corinthians 5:17). You’re a new creature, superior to Satan and all his works. Therefore, it makes no difference that you were threatened by a witch doctor or voodoo priest; there’s no enchantment or divination that can work against you, for the Bible says, *“Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel…"* (Numbers 23:23).

Understand this: truth unknown is powerless, but truth known puts you over. If you don’t know what God has said about you, you could walk in fear and bondage. But the accurate knowledge of the Word makes you free: *“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”* (John 8:32).

You don’t need anyone to *“lift”* a curse off you. Christ already blessed you, and in Him, you’ve been born anew and into the glorious liberty of the sons of God; you’re free forever! Think about it: if you were cursed, who would enforce it? The devil? You have more power than he and all his demons put together.

How about God? He would never supervise a curse against His own children. The only Christian who can live as though under a curse is the one who ignores or disdains the Word of God. To neglect, reject, or despise the Word is to step out from the covering of divine truth, and that, in itself, becomes a curse for, the Bible says, *“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed...”* (Proverbs 13:13).

But as long as you’re in Christ, yielded to His Word and guided by the Spirit, you’re untouchable and walk in blessings only. You live in victory and walk in the boldness of your inheritance in Christ, blessed and empowered to reign. Glory to God!

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, thank you for the life of blessing you’ve given me in Christ. I live far above the influence of darkness, walking in the liberty of your Word. I walk in victory and in the dominion of my righteousness in Christ, blessed and empowered to reign, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Numbers 23:19-23* God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? *20* Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. *21* He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. *22* God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. *23* Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

*Ephesians 1:3* Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

*Galatians 3:13-14* Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: *14* That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

The light of God is in you, in your spirit. You bear the perfections of Christ. Hallelujah! The Bible says, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6). You’re truly the living tabernacle of God! Christ is alive in you. We are the last generation; the generation called to manifest His glory in the earth. This is what the earth has been waiting for. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” We’re in office; we’ve taken our place of dominion, impacting our world with the glory of God.

🌨️RHAPSODY OF REALITIES🌨️

👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.DD. 🗒️THURSDAY,20 JANUARY 2022🗒️ ⏮️TOPIC: THE KINGDOM WAY OF LIFE  SCRIPTURE 📖 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13) 📍THE MESSAGE📍 When you were born again, you were born into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Even though you now live and walk in His presence, you still have to learn how to live in this real Kingdom of Light, and the Scriptures will help you understand this by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul writing to Timothy said: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God…” (1 Timothy 3:15). This means there’s a way to behave oneself in the house of God. Christianity isn’t a way of life, but it has a way of life. In this Kingdom, there’s a language; we have our communication protocols. There’s a way of life; we think differently. This is something the devil doesn’t want many to know. He wants...
