- Some of the things we are praying against today have been in some families from generation to generation
- Genesis 49:1-4 Jacob was blessing and cursing his children
- He started with Reuben the 1st born
- He was supposed to be excellent in might power & dignity
- But a curse was issued against him
- That curse against Reuben the 1st born is still raging against all 1st born today
- A curse is a killer that destroys with terrible violence
- To be honest with you, the 1st time a curse was issued it was by God Himself Genesis 3:9-19
- Brethren this was why Jesus came to deliver us from the curse of sin, sickness and death Galatians 3:13
- This is why Jesus says you must be born again
- He says come to me, all ye who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest
- Every one that does not run to Jesus for salvation is under the curse of God
- Curses are the opposite of blessings
- They work against an individual or individuals to release negative harvests of woes
- A curse is a counter force that overpowers blessings
- It is like a powerful chain around a person’s neck, pulling him in wicked directions
- It is a violent force that comes through verbal pronouncement
- It is usually spoken out
- It is a satanic mandate to wreck a person, a place or a thing
- A curse can put a seal on your life
- It is an unseen force that sabotages your best effort
- It is the principal in the school of set back
- Once you find yourself struggling against something you can neither understand nor master
- Something you don’t know where it’s coming from, you are struggling against a curse
- When under a curse a person can fail where others are succeeding
- There are many categories of curses
- Prophetic curses
- Diabolical curses
- Territorial curses
- Community curses
- Ministerial curses
- Divine curses
- Personal or self-imposed curses
- Geographical curses
- Family or ancestral curses
- Racial curses
- Pursuing curses
- Parental curses
- Witchcraft curses
- Curses from shedding innocent blood
- Transferred curses
- Marital curses
- Curse of the avenger
- Any curse here today must be broken by the blood of Jesus Christ in Jesus name
- Ruben was the 1st born of Jacob and by right he was heir to all his father’s property
- He was supposed to receive double the inheritance but he lost that special privilege
- Since he lost it, the tribe of Reuben never excelled
- That tribe had dreams that never got carried out
- It was the 1st tribe to be attacked by the king of Assyria when he came to capture Israel
- In Numbers 16 when Koram, Dathan & Abraham began to rebel against Moses
- The tribe of Reuben were among the 1st to be swallowed up alive by the earth Numbers 16:1
- Thou shalt not excel means
- You will no longer be no 1
- You will not be celebrated as head anymore
- It means thou shalt not prevail or meet the mark
- Thou shalt not succeed
- Have you noticed a thou shalt not curse against your destiny or generation
- Those thou shalt not curses can bring
- Stagnation
- Termination
- Infirmities
- Bad luck
- Delay
- Reduction
- Barrenness
- All kinds of health problems
- Gynaecological problems
- Poverty
- Demotion stagnancy

- If thou shalt not curses are issued by a person that has authority over you it will ties down your head with an invisible chain
- All the thou shalt not curses working against our lives and children and children’s children lives are swallowed today by the blood of Jesus Christ. (say Amen seven times)
- Thou shalt not curses can be issued by parents
- If you know you have offended your parents and they cursed you, just repent before the Lord today and break those curses
- It is a very very serious problem
- Husbands can issue these curses against wives, and wives against husbands
- Thou shalt not curses can be issued by a prophet or a mentor
- When it is issued by a prophet, you need someone with a greater anointing to cancel whatever the prophet has said
- It can be issued by a pastor, a boss
- It can be issued by a person who has been so good to you
- You drank from the person’s well before now you are now against the person

- It can be issued by the powerless
- It can be issued by aborted children
- Those you cheat or steal from
- Those you lie against
- By stolen wives or husbands, jilted lovers
- By those whose homes were broken by another person
- If you are destroying other people’s children , you can get a “thou shalt not curse”
- There are righteous or lawful curses which we have just listed
- There are the unrighteous or the unlawful ones which come from satanic agents
- When the unlawful or the unrighteous “Thou shalt not curses” are issued by the wicked ones, they can easily be broken by prayers
- The wicked like to say over their dead bodies shalt you do this or that
- The unlawful ones can be battled at anytime
- But the lawful ones requires a process for breaking them
- These curses whether lawful or no must be broken, because they resist you and tie a rope around your waist that always pulls you back
- It will keep bringing you down, eating away all progress
- They operate by what is known in deliverance as automatic failure mecanisms
- It will make you operate lower than your peers
- They release an aura of badluck and disfavour
- An aura of unexplainable hatred, staleness & helplessness
- This was what Reuben faced
- But there is always a way out in Christ
WHAT MUST YOU DO TO BATTLE THESE CURSES?
- 1.) You must be born again – don’t go to church without really giving your life to Christ
- Many come to church without really receiving Christ
- How do we know?
- We know because they still tell lies and speak what they should not speak, they don’t study the Bible, nor pray
- For them church means Sunday service only
- They still lust and commit fornication and adultery
- They steal or bear false witness, they fight and drink and smoke
- New Birth, Bible salvation involves newness of life 2 Cor. 5:17
- 2.) Total Repentance – sometimes you can do deliverance and pray, but you must cry out in total repentance
- 3.) Restitution – whatever you stole from people or took wrongly must be returned
- 4.) Apology & Begging – where necessary
- 5.) Break the curses
- 6.) Seek prophetic prayer & declaration
