Topic: THE HIDDEN BATTLE 


By

Life is a warfare. Have you ever ask yourself why Some married people do not have children even though nothing is wrong with them?
Shall we open to the book of Daniel9:1-12
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;  In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.  And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:  And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;       

We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:  Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 
O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.  O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. 
       To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;  Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.  
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.  And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. Daniel 9:1‭-‬12 
When Daddy G.O. asked us to fast last year, some people fasted while some refused to fast.
Some of the people that fasted last year have nothing to show for it.
This year, some people will fast while some will not fast.
Life is a warfare.
Some married people do not have children even though nothing is wrong with them but they failed to find out what is truly wrong with them.

How many of us have asked God about what is wrong with us?

And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.  

Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.  Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.  And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: Isaiah 5:12‭-‬15 
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Ecclesiastes 7:12.
If you have knowledge you have Life.

If you don't have knowledge, you Don't have Life.
So seek knowledge.
Today we are going to look at HIDDEN BATTLES IN THE FAMILY. 
But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel. Joshua 7:1 
The sin of one person can affect the whole family.
Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?  Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.  Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.  Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.  And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. Malachi 3:7‭-‬11 
If you don't give God his own 10%, there is most likely going to be trouble.
You are simply inviting curse upon yourself if you fail to obey the Word of God.
But when you obey the word of God, God himself will fight for you. See the book of Numbers22:4-12.
And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.  He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:  Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.  And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.  And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the Lord shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.  And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?  And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,  Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.  And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. Numbers 22:4‭-‬12 
Satan can also curse someone.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF CURSE?
(1) Inheritance. It can be inherited from the family.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Exodus 20:4‭-‬5 

Some of us have been dedicated to Satan in the past by our parents.
Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. Ezra 9:7 

(2) Broken Dedication. There will be curse upon you if you fail to keep to what you have been dedicated to.
(3) Acceptance of curse. When you embrace the life style of your cursed father. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Matthew 27:25

(4) By continuing in the sins of your father. And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. Numbers 25:1 
Don't put Tattoo on your body. See Leviticus. There are somethings that people put in their home without knowing the meaning.
(5) When you are living in a land that is cursed.
(6) Through gifts. Some people may bring gift to us that has been cursed. 

HOW CAN YOU IDENTIFY CURSE?
Look at the family tree. Ask your parents questions.
Identify the cause of your problems.
Ask God for solution and direction.
WHAT ARE THE STEPS ?
Identify the curse
Repent from your evil ways.
Ask God to remove the curse.
Speak out and command that curse to be broken in Jesus.
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:14.
Command the Demons that is responsible for that curse to leave you in Jesus name.
