Repeated Patterns

Every rainy season, our house would always turn into a swimming pool because the roofing sheets have worn out and no one is ready to renovate it, Steve complained to Maureen, his class and caring classmate. 

Steve lives with his parents in their grandfather's house. All his uncles and their children and wife live there too. It appears like a curse is upon them. No one ever built a house to call his or her own since the demise of their grandfather about thirty years ago.  

All the grandchildren weren't yet born when grandfather was still alive. On a huge picture of him, black and white frame hung on the wall. 

As Steve continued his narrative, Maureen didn't look shocked because the same thing is happening to her, the only difference is that their roof isn't leaking. But none of her father's innings ever built or bought a landed property. 

What they are all about is to feed their stomach first, nothing more than that was expected. 

After secondary school, Steve went to the city to learn a trade. He preferred to learn how to sell building materials. He would be serving his master for seven years before he would be paid off with a business space to call his own. So, he opted to join one of the big business owners at Alaba International in Lagos. There he became an apprentice. 

Sometimes, during the weekly environmental sanitation in the market, some readers would come to speak publicly about the way to heaven. At other times, they conduct deliverance on some of their willing converts. 

On one of the days, as they were yet singing, one of the missionaries sighted Steve who was inside his master shop and demanded that he come out. 

When Steve got outside, the missionary told him he is destined to be a great man but a family curse from his ancestors would never allow him make it in life. 

To Steve, this is a joke. He told the lady that he had heard and did not take it seriously. Since he was not willing, she left him.to go back to his master's shop. 

After serving his master for seven years, Steve was settled with a big shop for being faithful to his master for the period he served.  He was very happy that he would get to make his family and raise the young ones 

Before Steve knew, business had closed. There is nothing more to sell and he could not give account for how everything went into thin air. 

What seemed to be a breakthrough turned into sorrow. 

Eventually, Steve started attending a church programme. On one of the service day, the man of God was preaching and he pointed at Steve and shouted:

Who did this to you? You are heavily laden.

Now, Steve was ready to give attention to whatever comes from this gathering, especially the missionaries. 

In the end, Steve was delivered from the shackles of generational curse. And things started to work very well for him again.

When Steve have seen the light and now understands the truth in the fact that live is a field of battle, she doesn't change. 

Maureen never had the opportunity to get her family curse broken. In her own case, she thought it just came naturally and that if were possible, nature could be of help.

Her mother gave birth to only her and couldn't conceive a child after Maureen was born. Now, Maureen has been married too but she hasn't given birth to a child. Until one identify the truth that the physical circumstances a man passes through is determined in the spirit, he ma just be walking in circles.

Conclusion

Spiritual matters are ones that must be taken seriously. Such matters may not sound appealing to the ears. Until you are able to break the siege, one may continue to work like an elephant and eat like an ant. 

Repeated patterns is an indication that there are unseen battles that must be won. These patterns can come in different ways. 

Ensure to clear the air around you else, one may continue to work but there will be nothing to show. Take this matter seriously to heart.
