Topic: Turning Captivity By Sacrifice [Seeds of Destiny 15 September 2019 Devotional]

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES by Pastor Paul Enenche

Beloved, every opportunity to sacrifice is an opportunity to attack curses.

SCRIPTURE: And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast…and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more…. Genesis 8:20-21

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Every opportunity to sacrifice is an opportunity to attack curses.

It has been scripturally proven that sacrifice establishes liberty. From our anchor Scripture we saw how God perceived the aroma of Noah’s sacrifice and took off the curse. So, sacrifice is a cure for curses. Sacrifice turns captivity (Psalms 126:1-5) – be it an ancestral captivity, generational captivity or family captivity. When you live sacrificially, captivity situations are turned.

The life of sacrifice can make you go where they say no one is permitted to go. Personally, the only thing I have not released as an offering is my body. The truth is, what God is helping us to do, nobody in our lineage has ever dared it.

Beloved, every opportunity to sacrifice is an opportunity to attack curses. When you are sacrificial, you are fire-full; you are fire in motion. And when the ancestral spirits or the demonic agents of your family try to stop you, they will realize that you are not a stoppable personality.

My counsel is, raise altars of sacrifice continually to counter any altar speaking against your life and destiny. The truth is, if you have any meaningful destiny, there are altars that would not want you to fulfil it, so let your altar of sacrifice speak against those evil altars continually (Psalms 50:5).

Remember this: Every opportunity to sacrifice is an opportunity to attack curses.
