'The sins of the Fathers'

“Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned THEM.” Joshua 7:25b. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Every new generation has d capacity in Christ to break d cycle of generational sin.

There is something called d law of d generational harvest-it says that u will reap what u sow. It also says that others will also reap what u sow, especially yo children & grandchildren, yo family & immediate descendants.

Beloved, u can pass down either a curse or a blessing, to yo children, grand-children, and great-grand-children. Abraham passed down d sin of lying to Isaac, who passed it on to his deceiving son Jacob. Jonathan was a righteous child who died as a result of Saul’s sin. Achan sinned & his family paid with their lives. It is recorded that d disasters that has befallen d Kennedy family was a result of d sins of one of d grandfathers. Sin always has consequences. Sinful behavioral patterns can be passed on through d generations such as: divorce, addictions, sexual sins, emotional disorders, depression, bitterness, negativity, prejudice, poverty, failure, health problems & worry. Yet, there is still hope. Take yo sin, guilt & yo failures to Jesus. Thru Christ we can overcome d effects of generational sin. Confess yo sins to God, & also d sins of yo fathers. Pray and set d example of righteousness for yo children d best way u can. Teach them from God’s word, u will be laying a solid foundation for d rest of their lives. U can’t go back & change d past, but u can ask God to help u make right choices in d present. “Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.” Psalm 79:8. Prayer: Thank u Jesus for forgiven my sins! Deliver me today from d consequences of generational sins, Amen. 

Hav a Refreshing
