MEMORISE
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: – (Ephesians 1:3)
READ: Jeremiah 31:27-31 (KJV)
27 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
MESSAGE
A 33-year-old married woman once came to me for prayers. Her problem was that she was still bedwetting, and it was causing her terrible embarrassment. I told her that it wasn’t a problem and that God would give her a brand-new bladder. However, before I prayed, she said, “Sir, I’m not the only one suffering from this in my family.” She proceeded to tell me that her mother, grandmother, and all the women in her family were bedwetters. Immediately, I knew that her problem was generational. On probing further, I discovered that the problem started when her grandmother had an issue with someone who pronounced a curse on her, saying, “Henceforth, every woman in your family will bed-wet.” I told her, “Give your life to Jesus Christ, and you will leave that bloodline and become a new creature.” She gave her life to Jesus and returned the following day, radiating with joy. This time, she didn’t come alone; she had other women in her family with her. She told me that for the first time in as far back as she could remember, she slept all through the night without bedwetting. The other women who came with her all surrendered their lives to Jesus, and that was the end of the curse. I have good news for you: if a curse has been affecting your family for generations, it is terminated today, in Jesus’ name.
When people come into God’s family, He makes everything new in their lives (2 Corinthians 5:17), and they become partakers of generational blessings. Anything that had previously hindered and limited such people in their lineages will no longer have any power over them because they have come into a new family, God’s family. In this divine family, there is life, prosperity, wisdom, fruitfulness, joy, peace, and every other good thing. Abundant life is the inheritance of everyone who is in God’s family, and in areas where they may have suffered from the sins of their earthly ancestors, God promises to visit them with His unfailing and sure mercies (Exodus 20:6).
In God, the proverb that the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth are set on edge no longer holds (Jeremiah 31:29-30). When a fellow comes into Christ, he or she becomes a partaker of God’s divine nature, and abundant blessings become part of the fellow’s daily life -this is the heritage of every believer. Beloved, are you a part of God’s family?
REFLECTION
Are you abiding in God’s family and enjoying His blessings?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Deuteronomy 26 – 27
HYMN 10 – IN CHRIST ALONE
1 In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
3 There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
4 No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
