Commit to Memory: “No curse can touch Jacob; no magic has any power against Israel. For now it will be said of Jacob, what wonders God has done for Israel.” (Numbers 23:23 NLT).
Yesterday we learnt that every curse has a cause, that is it is for a reason just like actions and reactions are equal and opposite. The reality and existence of curses may sound degrading and derogatory but it’s interesting that it was God that used the word curses first in the Bible and not even satan or man.
So we see that there’s possibility for a man’s life to experience woes and setbacks if a curse is at work whether consciously or unconsciously. So in Genesis 3, God cursed the serpent to crawl all the days of his life. To the woman, He cursed to experience pain at delivery and then the earth which seemed innocent in the scene was also cursed by the Lord. God said concerning the earth that cursed are you for the sake of the man and then to Adam, it was a curse of hardship and labouring. The second experience was with Cain. God again pronounced a curse on Cain as a fugitive and vagabond. For what cause? Why? because he killed his brother. So curses are pronounced and exist on legal grounds. But the good news is that after the spiritual birth (new birth), I mean once you become born again- listen “No curse can work against you”. Why? Jesus paid for all the curses that would affect and destroy believers when he was hung on the cross. And the truth is that He paid for them all in full. It is for this reason Galatians 6:17 NLT says
From now on, don’t let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.
Why is this so, there is a seal of exemption upon your forehead and life once you become born again. That was why that demon said Jesus I know, Paul I know. The demon could see the mark of exemption on the forehead of Paul that was also on Jesus and so they couldn’t trouble Paul. What this means is that what affects others negatively can no longer affect you. You become a victor in all circumstance as against a victim of circumstance like the unbelievers. You become too blessed to be cursed. Why? You operate by the mark of exemption sealed with the blood of Jesus. Hallelujah.
Reflection: You become far from oppression and on your body scars that prove you belong to Christ when you become born again.
