- Transfer of Generational curses. As Africans, there are all kinds of covenants our fathers entered into. For most families, when they meet, they pour libations on your behalf and as they do, the devil makes soulish demands on you. Jesus said :
«When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.» Matthew 12:43-45
Whatever demon attacked your parents and grandparents thinks that it has bona fide right to attack you. And that is why YOU MUST BE STRONG IN THE LORD and In the Power of his might. Ephesians 6:10.There are some, in their family, nobody is successful in getting married and it follows them. There are prominent families where all women have children but no husband because that is the family curse. If there is a situation like that in your family, today may you be set free. Whatever family curse is following you, we reverse it in the name of Jesus.
There are some, when you look into your background, you will notice that your Grandfather had 3 wives, your Father had 3 wives and children out of wedlock... And if you don't deal with it, it will fight you.
May today be the day of your deliverance and liberty ! - The advise from wrong counselors. Thousands of brothers and sisters have been misled. Either somebody prophesied to them, or their friends counseled them and gave them wrong counsel.
If you received wrong counsel along the way, may God turn that counsel for your good.
Some have received prophesies about who to marry and even though they are not interested in the person, because of the prophesy, they think that, that is how it should be.Others were counseled through dreams. I had people tell me : I had a dream that I am married to a white man. And because of that when black men propose to them, they reject the proposal. You have to be able to interpret dream well. Because if God shows you a white man in a dream, He could probably be telling you that the person you will marry and you will not be from the same tribe. - Fear of Failure to face the realities and challenges of marriage. Some because of how they may have seen many marriages fail, are afraid of marriage. But I want to assure you, they are more people who have succeeded in their marriage and for example, in our church Perez Chapel International, by the Grace of God, we have a lot of successful marriages. So focus on the successful one instead of looking at the failed one. Your parents may have failed, but it does not mean you will also fail. If you will take to the word of God, you will succeed.
- Comparisons and wrong associations. I was reading a story of a group that taught that as for them, their manifesto is to remain unmarried for life. If you remain in a group like that, then you are in trouble. When we were growing up there was ministry that sprang up and all the people in the ministry believed that there were not supposed to marry and if they didn't, they will do the work of God better. So by the time a lot of them realized that it was a mistake, most of the men were 38 and 40 years old. And that was when they got married. When they were saying that as for them they would not marry, some of us believed God for a wife and got married. Even though they are my age Group, today, some of them, their first born is 10 years old meanwhile my first born is 30 years old already. So the groups you join, what are the covenants those groups are making ? Scripture says : bad associations corrupts good manners. 1 Corinthians 15:33.
- Lack of implementing biblical principles of marriage. When you read my book Single And Not Ashamed, you will see biblical steps to take to get married. Some look at it and see it as unbearable. They say : How can a single guy or single lady not have sex ? How can a single lady say that she has visited a guy and they will open the door ? Because some find those principles unbearable, instead of buiding good principles, because they yiedl to different things, they remain single.
