Blessing and curse

 Blessing and Curse 

Exodus 23:32-33 “You shall make no [a]covenant with them, nor with their gods.  They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

1. Here we find that God is informing Th Israel when He was taking them to Canon (promised Land), God gave them a clearcut direction to not to make covenant with the people of Canaan. Covenant here means (covenant is a relationship between two partners who make binding promises to each other). Friendship with unbeliever means to have some emotional binding, some sort of binding or liking because of which one make friends and share with him/her themselves their emotions/feelings and have friendly talk and vice versa. That way we automatically share with them not only our feeling, emotion but their faith and gods and this way exchange our feeling, emotions. If we do that, we automatically share with them their gods also. 

2. We are in the kingdom of God and unbelievers are in the kingdom of darkness and hence not match.

3. Bible says we are called to have “Ephesians 5:11 – "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness…" II Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers..."

4. What is the cause of curse in believer’s life mentioned in “Deuteronomy 28:15 “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

5. There are 54 curses mentioned in the Deuteronomy 28:15. We must read and identify if any curse is there and if it is there we must confess (say as it and give up such relation) to Lord and ask for His forgiveness. 

6. Moreover, we cannot walk in the territory of God and in the same time in the territory of Satan and if we are doing the same then it would be very dangerous. 

7. We are now children of light and we are to share only our faith without contaminating ourselves with the faith of unbelievers. And our God will change them and make them children of light like ourselves.

8. Many things we decided that it is good and bad with our mind but that may not be true. We have to see good and bad in the light of the word of God (Bible) and then decide. 

1:19 says. “Peter Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked”.

Our walk is to line up with our calling. We are to walk in unity (4:1-16), we are to walk in holiness (4:17-32), we are to walk in love (5:1-6).

May God bless you richly
