REDEMPTION FROM CURSES

Preached message is available on http://mystreamglobe.com/devotional/Redemption%20from%20Curses%20by%20PASTOR%20ADEOLU.mp3

Main text:
Gal 3:13-14
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us:for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
(KJV)

Salvation is a full package. 
If you believe Jesus forgives your sins but He does not heal your diseases your salvation has jaundice.

Recent experiences of mine and others around me initiated this message. And I have the go-ahead of the Holy Spirit.

As long as you believe you are saved  but can still be harrassed and tormented by the forces of darkness, you just need to grow fast or you will suffer unduly.

THE FULL PACKAGE

Psa 103:1-7
Psalm 103
A Psalm of David.
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul:
and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness
and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses,
his acts unto the children of Israel.
(KJV)

Isa 53:1
Chapter 53
1 Who hath believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
(KJV)

Read the whole of Isaiah 53.

Psa 91:1
Psalm 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
(KJV)

Luk 10:19-20
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
(KJV)

As in, that is the smaller issue.

Mar 16:15-18
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
(KJV)

It is he that believeth... Not even me preaching...

We must quit preaching the gospel of weakness. I am not ashamed of the gospel of power.

Rom 1:16-17
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
(KJV)

Check out the faith of Daniel and his friends, do they look weak, weather beaten and worn out? You must accept all that Christ is offering you. And one of them is Covenant Freedom from Curses.

CURSES ARE REAL. People. Places. Things.

Whether you believe they are or not, they are. In fact, they like ut when you do ont believe they are.
It is not an African thing.

1Sa 2:30-33
30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever:but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house. 32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel:and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever. 33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart:and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
(KJV)

3. David.

2Sa 12:9-10
9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
(KJV)

Just look around and convince yourself that curses are not real.

But more real is the Blessings of God!

BLESSINGS ARE REAL TOO

1.

WHERE DO CURSES COME FROM?

SIN IS THE ROOT OF CURSES

1. God.

Please be patient.

Gen 3:14
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
(KJV)

Gen 4:9-12
9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not:Am I my brother's keeper? 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
(KJV)

Gen 8:21
21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
(KJV)

Please take note: You will hardly read that God cursed a man. The word "curse" will not be used. So it is the man's actions or dispositions that produces the curse essentially.

2. The Devil
He is the most cursed any way...

Gen 3:14
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life

Everything that issues from the devil is cursed. He has nothing good to offer any one.

3. DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS

Deu 28:15
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
(KJV)

Jer 11:3-4
3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, 4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you:so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
(KJV)

Tithes.
Money is dirty. Tithe sanctifies it. 
Tithe honours God as your sole Source, whatever the channels.

4. FROM MAN TO MAN. 
a. People of authority

Fiduciary authority.

Parents
Eph 6:1-3
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord:for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
(KJV)

This is another example of disobedience.

Children
Eph 6:4
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath:but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
(KJV)

Lev 20:9
9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death:he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
(KJV)

May God forgive all the parents that hve cursed their children.

Spiritual authority

Prophets. Pastors. Etc

Num 22:6
6 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.
(KJV)

2Ki 2:23-24
23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel:and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
(KJV)

Spiritual authorities have abused the anointing. They derive pleasures in curses.

Luk 9:54-56
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
(KJV)

Jam 3:9-11
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
(KJV)

Jam 3:8
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
(KJV)

FALSE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL

Gal 1:8
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
(KJV)

BEING WICKED

Pro 3:33
33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked:
but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
(KJV)

BEING UNDER THE LAW

This is the most potent.

The law reinforces sin thereby reinforcing curses.

Gen 2:16-17
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(KJV)

Thou shalt surely die... That is the vehicle of all curses.

Rom 7:5
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by

the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

(KJV)

Rom 7:7-9
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law:for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once:but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
(KJV)

Study these scriptures

Jn 7:45-49
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said 6
nto them, Why have ye not brought him? 46 The officers answered, Never man jjuu6j like this man. 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 49 9 this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
(KJV)

They thought you need those rules to be blessed.

Gal 3:7-14
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are thejjjyuy children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the yworks of the law are under the curse:for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight 6 it is evident:for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith:but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ uath redeemedk us from the curse of the law, ui made a curse for us:for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
(KJV)

They forget that if you offend in one you offend in all.

Gal 3:10
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse:for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
(KJV)

Jam 2:10-11
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
(KJV)

One point...

A believer is open to witchcraft the moment he begins to believe wrongly. That it is his works that counts.

Gal 3:1-3
Chapter 3
1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
(KJV)

THE WAY OUT

1. BELIEVE IN THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST

Isa 53:1
Chapter 53
1 Who hath believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
(KJV)

Gal 1:3-4
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
(KJV)

Luk 1:68-75
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel;
for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets,
which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies,
and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers,
and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies
might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him,
all the days of our life.
(KJV)

That baba knew what he was saying. They have served God in fear of their enemies all those centuries

Hear David...

Psa 11:1-4
Psalm 11
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 In the Lord put I my trust:
how say ye to my soul,
Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
they make ready their arrow upon the string,
that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed,
what can the righteous do?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple,
the Lord 's throne is in heaven:
his eyes behold,
his eyelids try, the children of men.
(KJV)

Psa 27:1-4
Psalm 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
(KJV)

Is it the Lord or the Law that is the strength of your life? Check it.

Heb 13:6
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
(KJV)

Rom 8:31-34
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
(KJV)

Col 2:13-22
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
(KJV)

Col 2:6-10
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
(KJV)
