Episode 9 :: Question 2 on Honoring Your Parents

Answer 2: “How powerful are curses spoken over a child by a male parent?” Very powerful! The curses or the blessings come to pass as the Bible shows us. You study in your Bible, you’ll find blessings by parents, you’ll find curses by parents and how they came to pass. So that’s very, very important. They are powerful; they work. But, as a child of God, as one that’s born again, it’s important for us to know that we are called into a blessing by God and we should not walk in the dark about these things. What’s important is this: if you had a problem with your father and he cursed you before you were born again, now that you are born again, go and reconcile with him. That’s number one. Now, where reconciliation is impossible or difficult, go to your Pastor, and he will counsel with you and let you know what to do. Now, if you were already born again and then your parents curse you, first it will not even come to pass but then it depends on what you did. If what you did was also against the Word of God, then you’ve got real trouble because that means he’s not only just cursing you but you were already outside the Word of God meaning that you were in a place where a curse could actually come upon you.
Remember, in the days of the children of Israel while they were in Egypt and God said the death angel was coming into Egypt, [Exodus 12:21-23] he told them, stay inside the house and have the doorposts and the lintels of your doors marked with blood and the death angel will not come in. So, he separated the children of Israel from the children of Egypt with the blood. So, you stay in God’s Word, you stay in the Kingdom, you stay functioning according to the principles of God. Don’t go outside the Word of God. If you live outside the Word of God, then of course you are in the place where a curse can come on you. But even in such situations, what you’re supposed to do is reconcile with your father, because God wants us to live in peace. He has called us to peace and you should walk in peace with others especially your parents, especially your parents.

Episode 9 :: Question 1 - "Can Satan Read the Human Mind?"
 |
| Pastor Chris Oyakhilome |
Question 1 – Kingsley (The Netherlands): Is the devil able to read the human mind? Why couldn’t the devil read the mind of Jesus Christ to know that killing Him was to save us from our sins and that this was for the good of the Christian?
Answer 1: He says, “Is the devil able to read the human mind?” The answer is no; he cannot read the human mind anymore than any intelligent person can guess what’s in your mind by reading [or trying to understand] your mannerisms and your body movements and so on…body language. So, that’s the way the devil also reads you, because he’s been in this world for many years and he can understand human beings by observing them. That’s how far because Satan, remember, is a created being and because he is a created being, he doesn’t have the power. He’s not omniscient. Only God is omniscient; Satan is not. So, Satan doesn’t know everything, and Satan doesn’t know what’s in your mind. And, you know that Satan doesn’t know everything because of a lot of things that happened in the Bible that he didn’t know and have the sense enough to tell. For example, how come Satan didn’t know that Jesus had been taken to Egypt when He was a baby? [Matthew 2:13-18] God asked the parents, that’s Mary - the mother of Jesus - and Joseph, the supposed father, to take the little child to Egypt and Satan didn’t know they had gone to Egypt and went ahead and moved the king to kill all the children from 2 years and down; he didn’t know. There are lots of things that Satan doesn’t know. He didn’t know much in the bible days and still doesn’t know today, because he is not omniscient.
