The harsh but true reality of life is the fact that no matter who you are, there are people who are trying to curse you and there are others trying to bless you. Whether black or white, rich or poor, young or old; there is someone somewhere trying to either curse or bless you. You can say whatever you want to say or make arguments but this will still remain a reality of life you must know.
When God called Abraham to follow Him to possess the promise and be a blessing to his generation, He warned him that there are some who would try to curse him and others who would bless him. The reality of curses and blessings cannot be underplayed. The good news however remains that curses can be averted and blessings attracted.
Note that a curse is a prayer or wish intending to harm a person, a place or a thing usually by magic or malevolent power. A blessing however is a prayer or wish that it goes well with someone, place or things by a supernatural power.
The simple secrets to avert curses are:
Walk by faith: We have an assurance from God that as we walk by faith, He will defend us. He will curse those who curse us and bless those who bless us. Putting our faith in God exempts us from the effects of curses. The Lord becomes our defence because we trust Him. He told Abraham “if you trust me and follow me, I will recompense to everyman as he gives…“. We have a great defender. His name is Jehovah!
Remove the cause: Proverbs 26:2 says “a curse causeless as a wandering bird shall not settle”. The people who are trying to curse you are trying to find a just cause to undo what you are doing; don’t give them a reason. Remove the cause that attract curses and walk in full protection. Israel became cursed when Achan brought into the camp cursed objects. Until Joshua removed the cause the curse was actively working against them.
Finally, refrain your tongue from speaking guile: The tongue is a deadly beast. The tongue is unruly, use it wisely. Bridle your tongue and speak life only. With these three simple secrets, you can avert curses.
Stay blessed, I love you!
