How To Activate The Blessing and Deactivate the Curse

How To Activate The Blessing and Deactivate the Curse

Podcast Summary: How To Activate The Blessing and Deactivate the Curse   In this episode, we continued exploring practical, biblical principles for walking in God's blessing and shutting the door to every curse.   Practice Covenant Giving One of God's ordained ways of activating His blessing is through covenant giving. Scripture teaches that giving is not merely a financial transaction but an act of faith and obedience that positions us to experience God's covenant promises. Malachi 3:10-11 reveals that when we faithfully honour God with our tithes and offerings, He promises to open the windows of heaven, pour out abundant blessing, and rebuke the devourer on our behalf. Financial struggles do not have to be permanent. God has provided a covenant solution. Covenant giving breaks cycles of lack and positions believers to experience supernatural provision and preservation. Without God's blessing upon your labour, hard work alone cannot produce lasting change. You cannot outwork the curse. Haggai 1:6 paints the picture of people working tirelessly yet remaining unfulfilled because the blessing of God was absent from their lives. Jesus reinforced this covenant principle in Luke 6:38, teaching that generous giving results in generous receiving. Giving does not purchase God's blessing, but it positions us to walk in the realities of His covenant. A generous life attracts divine increase.   Speak the Blessing Over Your Life Continually The words we speak matter because they shape the direction of our lives. Proverbs 18:21 declares that death and life are in the power of the tongue, while Proverbs 11:11 reminds us that the blessing spoken by the upright has the power to transform even a city. As believers, we must never use our mouths to reinforce what Christ died to remove. Jesus redeemed us from the curse so that we could live under the blessing. Ephesians 1:3 declares that God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ, and Acts 3:26 reveals that Jesus was sent to bless us by turning us away from sin. However, there is a vital principle: we must agree with God's Word. Amos 3:3 asks, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" If God calls you blessed, your words should agree with His Word. Refuse to speak defeat, failure, lack, sickness, or hopelessness over your life. Continually declare what God has declared concerning you. The blessing becomes increasingly evident when your faith, your obedience, your generosity, and your confession are all in agreement with God's covenant promises.

Episode 238 - How To Deactivate The Curse - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE CURSE | Breaking Evil Cycles and Activating the Blessing There are certain evil trends that must stop with us and never continue into the next generation. Through the finished work of Jesus Christ, every believer has been redeemed from the curse and brought into the blessing. Main Scriptures * Galatians 3:13-14 * Colossians 1:13   Introduction Curses are real and can affect families, health, finances, careers, businesses, relationships, and destinies. A curse is an authorisation for evil to operate, while a blessing is an authorisation for good to operate. The good news is that Jesus became a curse for us at Calvary so that we might inherit the blessing of Abraham. Through His death and resurrection, He broke the legal hold of every curse over the believer. But if Christ has redeemed us, why do many Christians still experience the effects of curses?   Why Curses Still Operate in Some Christians 1. Lack of Knowledge Hosea 4:6 Many believers are destroyed because they do not understand what Christ accomplished on the Cross. You cannot enjoy a freedom you do not know belongs to you. 2. Opening Doors Through Disobedience Proverbs 26:2 | John 14:30 Sin, rebellion, unforgiveness, occult involvement, and compromise provide legal ground for the enemy. Every curse requires a landing place. 3. Failure to Cooperate With the Blessing Numbers 23:8, 20 | Deuteronomy 23:5 God's blessing is His empowerment for increase, preservation, fruitfulness, and dominion. When the blessing is active, the curse loses its power.   How to Activate the Blessing and Deactivate the Curse 1. Separate Yourself from Evil Associations Psalm 1:1 Wrong company attracts wrong outcomes. The blessing flows through godly associations. 2. Put Your Trust in God, Not Men Jeremiah 17:5 Men are channels, but God is the Source. Dependence upon God activates the blessing. 3. Become a Student of God's Word Psalm 1:2 | Deuteronomy 28:1-2 | Luke 11:28 Every blessing is connected to divine instruction. As you hear and obey God's Word, His blessings will come upon you and overtake you. Christ has redeemed you from the curse. Every evil cycle ends with you. Walk in the blessing and live in the liberty that Jesus purchased for you.

Episode 237 - Lead Me To The Rock - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

PODCAST SUMMARY LEAD ME TO THE ROCK Key Scripture: Psalm 61:2 "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I." In this episode, we unpack one of David's most powerful prayers. Many Bible scholars believe David wrote Psalm 61 during a season of distress, exile, or separation from Jerusalem. Whether he was fleeing from Saul or escaping the rebellion of Absalom, David understood what it meant to feel isolated, helpless, and overwhelmed. From the End of the Earth This is not simply a geographical location but an emotional one. It is the place where you feel alone, forgotten, and without answers. Like Elijah under the juniper tree, there are moments in life when we feel as though we are the only ones left. Will I Cry Unto Thee David teaches us the right response to trouble. He did not run to people first—he ran to God. James 5:13 asks, "Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray." In seasons of confusion and pain, heaven is still the best place to turn. When My Heart Is Overwhelmed The word "overwhelmed" speaks of being faint, exhausted, and at the end of your own strength. Even great men of faith like David and even Jesus in Gethsemane experienced deep anguish. Faith does not mean you never feel overwhelmed; it means you know where to go when you are. Lead Me to the Rock David understood that there are places in life that human strength cannot reach. He needed God to take him to a place of safety, stability, and security. Throughout Scripture, the rock represents God's strength and protection, but it also points prophetically to Jesus Christ, the true spiritual Rock. The Rock That Is Higher Than I The higher rock speaks of God's superior power and His ability to lift us above what is trying to destroy us. When our strength reaches its limit, God's strength has not. A powerful illustration comes from the 11th of March 2011, when a 9.0 magnitude earthquake triggered a devastating tsunami in Japan. In the town of Minamisanriku, some people survived because they reached higher floors and higher ground before the waves arrived. The higher they climbed, the safer they became. Life also has its floods—pain, fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming circumstances. David's answer was not greater self-confidence but greater dependence on God. The flood may rise, but there is a Rock that is higher than the flood. Why the Rock? Because Jesus is the rejected stone that became the chief cornerstone. Because the wise man built his house upon the Rock, and when the storms came, his house stood. Because the water in the wilderness flowed from the spiritual Rock, and that Rock was Christ. Because Jesus declared, "Upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Kingdoms may shake. Cultures may change. The earth may tremble. But what is built on Christ cannot be destroyed. When David prayed, "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I," he was asking God to take him to a place stronger than his strength, higher than his understanding, greater than his fears, and firmer than the shifting sands of this world. Higher We serve a God who operates in a higher dimension. His ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. He is high and lifted up. He is the Most High God. The tsunami may rise. The floods may come. The earth may shake. But there is a Rock that cannot be moved. That Rock is Jesus Christ.

Episode 236 - …But The Lord Delivereth Him Out Of Them All… - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

…BUT THE LORD DELIVERETH HIM OUT OF THEM ALL… We appreciate you, powerful people, beautiful people, wonderful people, for being part of this journey. In this episode, we explore the powerful promise of Psalm 34:19: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all." The Bible never promises a life without trouble. In fact, Scripture repeatedly reminds us that those who follow Christ will face persecution, hardships, and tribulations. Yet, the greater promise is that God never abandons His people in their struggles. Through passages such as 2 Timothy 3:12, Acts 14:22, and John 16:33, we discover that trials are part of the believer's journey. But through 2 Peter 2:9, Psalm 91:15, 2 Corinthians 1:10, and 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, we are assured that God is a Deliverer who rescues, sustains, and strengthens His children. This episode is a reminder that: * Your affliction is not your destination. * Your suffering has an expiration date. * God is with you in the middle of the storm. * What the enemy meant for evil, God can turn for your good. * After the season of suffering, God Himself will restore, strengthen, and establish you. No matter what you are facing today, remain a prisoner of hope. The God who delivered before will deliver again. You may be hard-pressed, but you will not be crushed; struck down, but not destroyed. Many are the afflictions of the righteous... but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Episode 235 - You Will Go Through It - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

PODCAST SUMMARY: YOU WILL GO THROUGH IT In this powerful message, we explore Psalm 23 with a special focus on verse 4: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Life will inevitably bring valleys—seasons of pain, uncertainty, loss, opposition, and spiritual warfare. Yet David teaches us a profound truth: God's people are not called to remain in the valley; they are called to walk through it. Through a hermeneutical study of Psalm 23:4, we discover that: • Trouble is a reality of life, but it is not permanent. • The valley is temporary; there is an exit on the other side. • Fear loses its power when we become aware of God's presence. • God's rod represents His protection and defense. • God's staff represents His guidance, correction, and care. • Even in our darkest moments, God remains with us. Drawing from the historical context of shepherding in ancient Israel, we see how sheep depended entirely on the shepherd to navigate dangerous valleys filled with hidden threats. In the same way, believers today must depend on God while facing sickness, financial struggles, family challenges, ministry battles, grief, and discouragement. This message also highlights biblical examples of men and women who went through difficult seasons and emerged victorious: * Moses at the Red Sea and in the wilderness * Joseph in the pit and prison * Daniel in the lions' den * The three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace * Job in his season of unimaginable loss The central message is simple yet powerful: Your valley is not your destination. Your challenge is not permanent. Your trial has an expiration date. Whatever you are facing today, keep walking, keep believing, and keep trusting God. YOU WILL GO THROUGH IT. This summary captures the heart of the message: God does not always remove the valley, but He faithfully leads His people through it.
