QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SESSION WITH REV. (DR.) CHRIS OYAHKILOME.
Question– Shella (Belgium): Good day Pastor, is it possible that a true born again Christian can still be under a curse; that is, any kind of curse?
Answer: Well, any Christian could place himself under a curse like any Christian could allow the devil to do anything to him. It’s up to you. But, no curse on its own can have any effect on you. Doesn’t matter who is cursing, it’ll have no effect on you, but you could place yourself under a curse. And so, it’s just like this: when God said in the Garden of Eden, you remember when Adam and Eve sinned against God, and God never cursed Adam…He never cursed eve.
He said to them, the day you eat of the tree in the midst of the garden, you shall surely die. It wasn’t a curse. He was just telling them the repercussions of their actions; it was no curse. He said you shall surely die. It was the result of their actions; that’s what he told them and when they did, he didn’t curse them, instead God said, “cursed is the ground for your sake” [Genesis 3:17]. He never cursed Adam. Why? Because he already blessed them. When God blesses you, HE CAN’T CURSE YOU. He can’t curse you! It’s not possible. So he couldn’t even curse Adam. He said, “Cursed is the ground for your sake! Out of your sweat shall you eat bread until you return to dust; for dust thou art and unto dust shall thou return” [Genesis 3:17-19]. No curse!
He already told them the result. Same thing with the woman! He said, “In sorrow shall your conception be” [Genesis 3:16]. No curse! So, it’s important that you recognize this.
