DEALING WITH YOUR BLOOD LINE PATTERN

DEALING WITH YOUR BLOOD LINE PATTERN

IntroductionPhilippi says “…work out your salvation with fear and trembling, (Phil 2:12 NIV). For every one of us in this side of life, there is a pattern of character or traits in our bloodline. These could be good or evil traits. Thus  it is necessary for Christians after salvation to do detailed research on their roots and investigate the background of their genealogy.

Almost always you will find out that, there is a particular pattern (or patterns) of event or happenings in your bloodline which in most cases, especially for many African are the results of an evil background. It could be so because our forefathers made idols and worshiped them making satanic covenants with the kingdom of darkness.

These covenants, with or without your knowledge hinder your success and blessings as a child of God in one way or another even after your salvation. It is therefore of paramount importance that you research and unearth these negative covenants, traits or bloodline patterns, break them in the name of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ for your ultimate breakthrough in life.

This is why the Psalmist poses this question, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalms 11:3)

In 1 Chronicles 4:9, Jabez whose foundations due to a mother’s circumstances and input were not right realized it, rose up to the occasion and changed his destiny in God for the better, for himself and his posterity. 9Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." 10Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. (1 Chronicles 4:9-10 NIV)

In many of our African communities, children ‘inherit’ names from parents, uncles, aunties and so on. It is crucial that you get down and investigate the character of the person the child (or even you are) named after, because their bloodline patterns are easily transferred through the blood by demonic habitation and possession.

You need to do a research to establish the kind of person one is named after because say if he or she was a witch it is most probable that their traits through covenants will flow into the child or the person they are named after.  

  Let us look at some bloodline patterns in the scripture and their effect.

1. THE SPIRIT OF DECEPTION 1. AbrahamIn Genesis 12:10, we learn that there was famine in the land of Canaan and so Abram who then was living in Canaan went down to Egypt to escape the famine. In the bloodline of Abram, was the trait of the attraction to beautiful women. The Bible records that Sarai, Abram’s wife was beautiful and therefore Abram fearing that the Egyptians would kill him and spare her if they learnt that she was his wife, conspired and lied to the Egyptians that Sarai was not Abram’s wife but his sister.

2. Isaac.

Since this was a bloodline issues, Isaac too in Genesis 26:7 “7When the men of  (Gerar) asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister," because he was afraid to say, "She is my wife." He thought, "The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful."  Here again we see a replication of what Abram did by his own son Isaac. There was no need to lie since the people of Gerar had no ill intentions against him as was the case with his father Abram in Egypt. Isaac lied because of a bloodline issue.  

3. JacobJacob was the son of Isaac and a grandson of Abraham. He too lied to his father Isaac that he was Esau his elder brother. “18 He (Jacob) went to his father (Isaac) and said, "My father." "Yes, my son," he answered. "Who is it?" 19 Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game so that you may give me your blessing."  (Gen 27:18-19 NIV). The root cause of the lie here is not with Jacob but his grandfather Abram.

4. RebeccaThe blood DNA of Rebecca Isaac’s wife, a daughter to Bethuel was also a blood of deception.  The Bible records that Isaac loved Esau and Rebekah loved Jacob and when Isaac was about to die, he called Esau so that he could bless him. Rebekah overheard, schemed and caused Jacob to steal Esau’s blessings from the father.    

5. LabanDue to the bloodline of deception Laban also deceived Jacob, “25 When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn't I? Why have you deceived me?" (Genesis 29:25 NIV). What Jacob did to his brother was  this time round done to him. The problem did not begin with him but at the root of the family tree and was simply being propagated down the generation, through the bloodline.   6. David and Abraham “34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. (Psalms 89:34 KJV). David is from the lineage of Abraham who was in a covenant relationship with God. No wonder sometimes David could sin against the Lord but when God remembered the covenant He had with Abraham He would have mercy on David on the basis of that covenant. This covenant was to transcend from Abraham through all his generations. The same case applies to covenants made in the kingdom of darkness, they also transcend down the generations. But having received Jesus Christ in your life, and having done an investigation of your genealogy, you  need to boldly stand in prayer and confess the related sins, denounce the covenants, break them and cast away all the evil covenants that were entered into by people before you and appropriate the New Covenant of God on your life so that it may be well with you and the generations after you. Having looked at the bloodline pattern of deception, let’s look at another pattern in the Abrahamic genealogy.

  2. THE FAILURE OF THE FIRSTBORNS.

The first born of Abraham, Ishmael never succeeded just like Isaac’s firstborn Esau. Reuben, Jacob’s son also never succeeded save Joseph. Joseph’s firstborn; Manasseh also followed suit and never succeeded. The pattern continued because when we come to Jesse, his firstborn; Eliab did not succeed; only the lastborn, David did. David’s firstborn Amnon also did not succeed but instead it is  Solomon a younger son who succeeded. It was not David who was to become a King but Judah but since the pattern of their bloodline was that firstborns never succeeded but the younger, David become the first King through Judah instead.   2No one born of a forbidden marriage nor any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the tenth generation. (Deuteronomy 23:2NIV).What Judah did with Tamar was an abomination in Israel. 27And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. 28And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first, 29And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? This breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. 30And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah. (Gen 38:27-30KJV). Some children are born against the expectations of their parents.  Say for instance and especially in our African context, where a couple gives birth to girls only but with the hope of one day getting a boy. When a girl is born again, (against the parents’ expectations ) that child’s behavior takes  on that of the expected opposite sex.From Deuteronomy 23:2, we learn that an illegitimate birth will never enter into God’s assembly up till the tenth generation. From the scripture Genesis 38:27, Pharez was born through an illegitimate birth between Tamar and her father in law Judah.  “3And Judas begat Phares1 and Zara of Thames; and Phares begat Esrom2; and Esrom begat Aram3; 4And Aram begat Aminadab4; and Aminadab begat Naasson5; and Naasson begat Salmon6; 5And Salmon begat Booz7 of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed8 of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse9; 6And Jesse begat David10 the king; and David the king begat Solomon”  (Mathew 1:2-6 KJV). It is after the tenth generation that we find the Kings coming up, in Judah’s lineage. These bloodline issues also affect our communities, for instance you may find that in a family no man marries a wife and lives with her for more than ten years, or on the other hand a girl can never be married before first giving birth at home and so on. In such situations it is not the victims’ fault ‘perse’ because; if you study carefully you will discover that it is a bloodline issue.Drawing from the above pattern, you too as Christian need to identify the impurity in your blood line and deal with the inherent satanic covenants. Or else you will continue to suffer their consequences even though you are born again.  I prophesy in you life in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ Lord and saviour that any consequences you may be suffering as result of the miss deeds of your ancestors will be annulled. Every evil covenant that was entered into either willingly or unknowingly must be broken by someone who understands it and stands in the gap.  It is until you personally stand and deal with your negative bloodline pattern that it can be broken. It doesn’t matter what prayers are made on your behalf. Breaking bloodline patterns require your personal action and involvement. That is why for you as a born again Christian, when prayer meetings are announced, seize the opportunity, attend and pray intently because it is your prayers which will set you free from the operation of the evil covenants in your bloodline. Confess the sins in prayer and create your divine destiny by appropriating the word of God upon your life in prayer. Decree Gods word for you over your life and your descendants. “And he said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed” (Genesis 32:28) I prophesy to whatever negative thing that is operating in your bloodline in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to cease. Today  revoke any evil covenants that your forefathers made, by the power and authority in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. You and the fruit of your womb are set free---Amen!  You could be suffering in your Christian life today because of the wrong foundation you  inherited through the pattern in your bloodline. But since you are now born again, you have the power to change your destiny and that of your posterity. Reject, refuse and denounce the suffering of seed of your womb because of the consequences of the evil covenants of your forefathers in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Realize your position, arise and take your stand and claim what is yours. Amen!

What Does it Mean That Jesus Is Our Mediator?

The reason a mediator is needed is because mankind cannot be reconciled to God on their own. Neither can God arbitrarily forgive sin without justice being satisfied. A mediator was needed to make things right, someone who was perfectly sinless, yet human.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word mediator in English means “one who mediates” or more specifically, “one that mediates between parties at variance.”

The word carries the idea of someone who is a go-between for two arguing parties, usually through some sort of compromise.

Although the English meaning of mediator has the connotation of compromise to arrive at a reconciliation between two conflicting parties, the biblical word does not involve compromise but instead holds a deeper and richer meaning.

In the Bible, Christ as Mediator reconciled man and God and is the only One who can mediate to bring about a relationship between God and man (John 14:6).

Jesus’ role as mediator is linked to His sacrificial death on the cross. To understand how Jesus is our mediator, one must understand why a mediator was needed, what Jesus did to act as a mediator, and why He is the only One who could bring reconciliation between man and God.

How Jesus Is Our Mediator

Because of Adam and Eve’s sin in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:6-7,16-19), mankind has ever since suffered the effects of sin, which includes separation from God (Isaiah 59:2).

Sin was passed down from the original humans to all people today (Romans 5:12), and everyone also chooses to sin against the Lord (Romans 3:23). Mankind is in rebellion against the Lord.

Compounded onto the problem that humans are separated from God is the fact that there is nothing humans can do about the situation.

Doing good works or trying to fulfill the Law is useless since all of mankind’s good deeds are filthy rags in the sight of God (Isaiah 64:6).

Man’s sin is too overwhelming. No amount of good works or following a set of religious rules can make a human right with God (Romans 3:28).

On the other side of the situation, God is holy and just. He loves mankind, whom He created, but God cannot arbitrarily forgive man’s sin.

His holiness and justice cannot overlook the sinfulness of humans, for this would compromise His holy nature. Instead, God took the initiative in reconciling Himself to man (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).

Therefore, the reason a mediator is needed is because mankind cannot be reconciled to God on their own. Neither can God arbitrarily forgive sin without justice being satisfied. A mediator was needed to make things right, someone who was perfectly sinless, yet human.

Understanding Our Mediator and Savior

The only way man could be reconciled to God would be for someone to live a sinless life and somehow pay the sin debt of mankind.

Because no mere man could act in this position of mediator, God the Son stepped in to reconcile Himself to the world by adding humanity to His deity (Philippians 2:6-8).

In this way, Jesus is completely God, able to take on the sins of the world, while also being a sinless man who died in place of humanity.

A mediator acts as a go-between two parties. The Greek word for mediator is mesités, which occurs three times in Scripture in relation to Christ (1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:15; 12:24).

In its original Greek meaning, mediator means someone who is a go-between or acts as a reconciler (Strong’s Greek: 3316). Like a lawyer in a court, Jesus acts on mankind’s behalf as the One responsible for them and their future.

In the New Testament, the author of Hebrews used familiar Old Testament imagery and examples to convey the importance of Jesus as the Mediator.

In the Old Testament, under the Law, the blood of bulls and goats were sprinkled on people to make them ceremonially or outwardly clean (Hebrews 9:13).

This ritual had to be done multiple times each year, but never imparted salvation, for justification has always been by faith (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:2-4).

In contrast, Jesus, the perfect High Priest and Mediator, shed His blood once for all for the sins of mankind (Hebrews 9:12, 14).

Unlike the sacrificial system under the old covenant, Christ “is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance — now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant” (Hebrews 9:15, NIV).

This New Covenant, which believers are now under, was ratified with Christ’s blood (Matthew 26:28; Luke 22:20).

Only One Mediator?

As has been shown, Jesus is a perfect Mediator. He died in place of mankind to reconcile humans to God (Romans 5:10).

When the Father looks at those who have trusted in Jesus for salvation, He sees Jesus’ work on the cross and His resurrection.

Similar to the role of a lawyer, Jesus defends believers and argues that they are innocent, not based on what they have done, but because of what He has done (1 John 2:1-2).

He shed His blood as ransom for the world, satisfying the sin debt against the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:21).

What, then, can be made of claims by other religions which say that dead “saints” and deceased loved ones can mediate on behalf of the living?

Buddhism places a high dependence on praying to deceased loved ones, while Roman Catholics teach that “saints” can act as intercessors.

A common argument by Catholics is that saints have direct access to Christ and can thus ask for grace and blessing for those who pray to them.

There are many problems with arguing that there is more than one mediator for Christians. First, the idea that saints or deceased loved ones can intercede for Christians to ask for grace is not found in Scripture.

Salvation is always by grace through faith, which is a gift from the Lord (Ephesians 2:8-9). The only way to receive this grace is by believing in Jesus’ redeeming work, which is completely sufficient (Romans 10:9).

Also, the Bible plainly states there is only one mediator. As 1 Timothy 2:5 states, “there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus” (NIV).

Angels, deceased loved ones, and “saints” are unable to reconcile man to God. Only God the Son, Jesus Christ, could act in the role of Mediator.

Only the blood of Christ was completely sufficient to pay for sin and put man in a right relationship with God.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Demand of SIN.

Ecclesiastes 10:8 NKJV

8 He who digs a pit will fall into it, And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent.

It takes the Demand of the Blood to stand the sting of the enenies.

A New Life and a New Covenant

Although mankind’s sin caused their separation from God, the Lord graciously chose to fix the conflict Himself.

To be the only Mediator means Christ stands as the One who clears believer’s guilt, argues on their behalf, and guarantees eternal life for all who believe in Him (John 3:16).

Amazingly, Jesus mediates on behalf of undeserving humans. The sacrifice He gave and the atonement He achieved on the cross are inseparable from His role as Mediator.

Thankfully, individuals do not have to rely on their own actions or seek to pray to the dead to experience salvation and have a relationship with God (2 Timothy 1:9).

Christ has worked on man’s behalf, bringing in a new and better covenant with the assurance of everlasting life for all who trust in Him.

Oniduro..

A mediator is one who mediates, that is, one who acts as an intermediary to work with opposing sides in order to bring about a settlement. A mediator attempts to influence a disagreement between two parties with the goal of resolving a dispute. There is only one Mediator between mankind and God, and that is Jesus Christ. In this article, we’ll see why God has a dispute with us, why Jesus is our mediator, and why we are doomed if we try to represent ourselves alone before God.

God has a dispute with us because of sin. Sin is described in the Bible as transgression of the law of God (1 John 3:4) and rebellion against God (Deuteronomy 9:7; Joshua 1:18).

God hates sin, and sin stands between all of us and Him. “There is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). All human beings are sinners by virtue of sin we have inherited from Adam, as well as the sin we commit on a daily basis. The only just penalty for this sin is death

(Romans 6:23), not only physical death but eternal death (Revelation 20:11–15). The rightful punishment for sin is an eternity in hell.

Nothing we could do on our own would be sufficient to mediate between ourselves and God. No amount of good works or law-keeping makes us righteous enough to stand before a holy God (Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16).

Without a mediator, we are destined to spend eternity in hell, for by ourselves salvation from our sin is impossible. Yet there is hope!

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). Jesus represents those who have placed their trust in Him before God’s throne of grace. He mediates for us, much as a defense attorney mediates for his client, telling the judge, “Your honor, my client is innocent of all charges against him.” That is true for us also. Some day we will face God, but we will do so as totally forgiven sinners because of Jesus’ death on our behalf. The “Defense Attorney” took the penalty for us!

We see more proof of this comforting truth in Hebrews 9:15: “For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.” It is because of the great Mediator that we are able to stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ Himself. On the cross Jesus exchanged our sin for His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). His mediation is the only means of salvation.

1 Timothy 2:1–8 NKJV

1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;

Heb 9 -10.
