CHANGING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY

CHANGING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY

Isaiah 43:18-19
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness,[ and] rivers in the desert.


EVERY FAMILY HAS A HISTORY. MY FAMILY HAS A HISTORY.

WHAT IS HISTORY
Is your past
Is a bygone period
A persons yesterday
Story of ones life
Old days


THE FAMILY IS THE FIRST INSTITUTION OF THE ALMIGHTY

THE FAMILY CAME BEFORE THE CHURCH

IT CAME BEFORE SCHOOLS

IT'S THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG IN A FAMILY, IT AFFECT IT'S COMMUNITY, SOCIETY AND THE NATION AT LARGE

THE FAMILY IS IMPORTANT TO GOD

EVERY FAMILY HAS A ROOT, BRANCHES AND FRUITS


IN THE LAST 5, 10 and 15 years, how many of your family members has made.

HISTORY IN FAMILIES.

Many people go ahead and something happens and they come down quick.
Iniquity rules in the family
Sickness
Nobody has a successful family
Skin diseases
Marital turbulence
Chains of adultery
Chronic poverty
Suicide
Argumentative spirit
Depression
Alcoholism
All men are poor and the wife has to feed them
Disfavour


PART OF THE REASON WHY YOU GOT BORN AGAIN IS TO CHANGE YOUR FAMILY HISTORY.

MOSES FAMILY- ANGER

Genesis 49:5-7
5 Simeon and Levi[ are] brethren; instruments of cruelty[ are in] their habitations. 6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. 7 Cursed[ be] their anger, for[ it was] fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

Exodus 2:1-2
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took[ to wife] a daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he[ was a] goodly[ child], she hid him three months.


MOSES KILLED AN EGYPTIAN

Exodus 2:11-14
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that[ there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? 14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.


MOSES SMOTE THE ROCK IN ANGER

Numbers 20:9-12
9 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him. 10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? 11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts[ also]. 12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.


FAMILY REPETITION

Mark 12:19-22
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave[ his] wife[ behind him], and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

4, Do the opposite of the family history

THE POWER OF DIVINE DIRECTION

THE POWER OF DIVINE DIRECTION.

Isaiah 48:17
17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I[ am] the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way[ that] thou shouldest go.

IN THE NEW YEAR WE ARE IN, IT'S IMPORTANT WE SEEK DIRECTION FROM GOD.

THE SECRET TO OUTSTANDING PROGRESS AND SUCCESS IN LIFE IS BY DIVINE DIRECTION.

WHEN IT COMES TO PROFITING IN LIFE IT'S BY DIVINE DIRECTION.

GOD ALWAYS LEADS HIS PEOPLE FORWARD.

GOD LEADS TO BLESSING NOT TO LOSSES.

YOU CANNOT BE LED BY GOD AND BE STRANDED IN LIFE.

GOD LEADINGS LEADS TO TRIUMPH.

DUE TO THE LACK OF DIVINE DIRECTION IN THE LIFE OF PEOPLE, MANY HAVE SUFFERED IN LIFE BUT IN THIS NEW YEAR YOU SHALL NOT SUFFER.


SCRIPTURES ABOUT DIVINE GUIDANCE.

Psalms 37:23
23 The steps of a[ good] man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

Proverbs 16:9
9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Proverbs 3:5
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Proverbs 14:12
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof[ are] the ways of death.


EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE THAT GOD LED TO BLESSINGS.

ABRAHAM

Genesis 12:1-3
1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Genesis 13:2
2 And Abram[ was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

ISAAC

Genesis 26:1-4
1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

Genesis 26:13-14
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him


WHY DIVINE DIRECTION.

TO ESCAPE DANGER- there are journeys not ordained of God.
IT IS TO GAIN SPEED. Genesis 24:12-15: And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. 13 Behold, I stand[ here] by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also:[ let the same be] she[ that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
IT MAKES THINGS WORK FOR YOU MUCH EASIER
IT ENHANCES OUR PROFIT
TO SECURE DIVINE BACKING
IT RELEASES SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH. Isaiah 48:21 And they thirsted not[ when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.


PRAYERS:

Father I pray that you will lead me to places that will bring success, breakthroughs in my life.
Father may I be sensitive to the LEADINGS of your spirit.
What ever danger and the trap the enemy has set for you in the journey of life will destroyed in Jesus name.
