Avoiding God’s Curse
Deuteronomy 7:26 - Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing
Things in our possession have a way of affecting our life either positively or negatively. In the secular world, similar punishment or fine is given to the possessor of stolen item(s) as with the thief. So it is with God.
God told His children clearly that anything that is an abomination or that is accursed should not be in their possession. This will attract the fierce anger of God upon the possessor. Take a look at Achan in Joshua 7; he took of the accursed ad that brought a great judgment and defeat to Israel.
Why should we avoid having the abominable or accursed in our possession? The abominable have a consequence and such consequence(s) are affected in the life of the possessor. Similarly, the accursed attracts manifestation of curse(s) in the life of the possessor.
Proverbs 26:2 make us to understand that when curses are said against anyone, if the person is not guilty of the circumstances that surround the curses then he/she is free from the curses. But tell me how can a possessor of the accursed be innocent from the circumstances that surround the accursed?
Beloved, make it your aim to avoid the abominable and the accursed – 2 Corinthians 6:17. By doing this, God’s blessings will be on you and there will be no cause that will make curse manifest in your life. Shalom.
