NUMBERS 22:17-32
Our world
is filled with cursed people. Since curses are spiritual in nature, it is not
easy to detect it in the lives of men and women. However, whenever a curse is
in place, it leaves a sour taste on the lips of its victim. Living a cursed
life makes life’s burden heavy and unbearable. You owe yourself the blood of
Jesus. A whole life may be under a spell or a curse. A business or the premises
where it is carried out may be jinxed. Whenever anyone or anything is under a
curse nothing will work. Efforts made will yield no fruit; good prospects will
not profit those who get involved with it while the opposite of what you desire
and pray for may begin to happen to you. Wicked people place curses on the
lives of men and women. How can we recognize a curse? A curse is in place when
someone invokes supernatural forces to fight against his opponent. When someone
curses an opponent, he is asking supernatural forces to destroy such an
opponent. When people have an opponent that is too big for them to handle, they
can pronounce a curse on the fellow. There is an example in Numbers 22:2-3 and
5-6. Why did Balak invite Balaam? He asked him to curse the people so that he
might be able to overpower them. When will a curse be effective? A curse will
become effective whenever there is a reason for it. If you have not done
anything that warrants a curse, if someone curses you, it will not work. When
the evil ones want to put a curse on you, they would do something to make you
angry so that there will be a cause to curse you. This is one of the reasons
why you must never be angry. If someone is trying to make you angry, such a
person may be setting bait for you. Do not allow any curse to come upon your
life.
MEMORIZE:
NUMBERS 22:17 –For I will certainly honor you greatly, and I will do whatever
you say to me. Therefore please come, curse this people for me.
