RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 25 JULY 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
Today, many people are suffering from generational curses. They struggle to succeed every day, but a powerful force seems to resist them. If this is your story, I decree your freedom today, in Jesus’ name.
If you notice certain negative patterns in your family that seem to be beyond anyone’s control, there is a possibility that a generational curse is in play. One thing about generational curses is that they are supervised by demons who have built a stronghold in that family.
Because of how strong their hold is in the family, many members of the family ultimately give in to the curse. They see the effects of the curse as their lot, so they never try to fight against it.
When Moses killed an Egyptian to save an Israelite, it was the same Israelites who condemned him and let the secret out. They had fallen in love with their oppressors even though they were suffering.
They even quarrelled with Moses in the wilderness many times for setting them free. They kept talking about the food in Egypt and even the graves (Numbers 11:5, Exodus 14:11).
Obviously, they had resolved to die in their negative situation; after all, it was in the same situation that their fathers died. The stronghold of the devil had eaten into their minds.
Beloved, if you have noticed a negative pattern in your family, please don’t settle into it as if it is normal. Don’t let those curses have a hold on your mind; be determined to break free from them. Your father, mother, and those older than you may have experienced it, but that doesn’t mean you must also experience it.
There was a young man who was 39 years old and was about to turn 40. He came to me for prayers and said that no male in his family had ever exceeded 40 years of age. He said he was the oldest male in the family, and now he was about to turn 40. He was afraid that he was going to die, and that was why he came to me.
We prayed, and he is still alive today, more than 30 years later. If he had not refused to become a victim of the generational curse in his family and had instead started preparing for his death, he would never have been liberated. If you have noticed any generational curses in your family, submit yourself to God today, resist the devil, and he will run far away from you (James 4:7).

I take authority over my life, and I break every stronghold that the devil has over it today, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 25 JULY 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: John 8:36
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
This verse declares the complete and permanent liberation Christ offers—not just temporary relief, but total emancipation from every generational bondage.
BIBLE READING: Colossians 2:14-15
“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us… and having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”
Paul reveals that Christ canceled every legal claim of generational curses through His cross and publicly disarmed demonic forces that enforce them.
Breaking Generational Curses: A Biblical Blueprint
The devotional exposes how generational strongholds operate and provides divine strategies for freedom:
1. Identifying Generational Curses
- Negative Family Patterns:
- Examples:
- Premature deaths (like the 39-year-old man)
- Chronic poverty (Proverbs 3:33)
- Addiction cycles
- Repeated divorce/abandonment
- Examples:
- Demonic Supervision:
- Curses are enforced by familiar spirits (Leviticus 19:31) that study family weaknesses
2. How Curses Gain Psychological Strongholds
- The Israelite Mindset (Exodus 14:11-12):
- They romanticized slavery (“Egypt’s graves were better”)
- Demonized deliverance (“Why did you bring us here to die?”)
- Modern Parallels:
- “All the men in our family are womanizers—it’s just our nature.”
- “We’re destined to be poor—education won’t help.”
3. The 3-Step Deliverance Process
- Recognition & Repentance
- Acknowledge the curse (like the 39-year-old did)
- Repent for any family sins sustaining it (Daniel 9:16)
- Legal Cancellation Through Christ
- Plead Colossians 2:14-15 over your life
- Declare: “Jesus bore this curse for me (Galatians 3:13)!”
- Renewal of the Mind (Romans 12:2)
- Replace curse narratives with God’s promises (Jeremiah 29:11)
4. Maintaining Your Freedom
- Guard Your Speech:
- Stop saying “It runs in our family”—instead declare “Christ redeemed me!”
- Cut Unholy Ties:
- Destroy occult objects (Acts 19:19)
- Renounce evil family covenants
- Build New Godly Patterns:
- Like Abraham breaking from his idolatrous father (Joshua 24:2-3)
Prophetic Declarations Against Generational Curses
- “Every ancestral agreement with death is broken today (Isaiah 28:18)! I shall live and fulfill my days (Psalm 91:16)!”
- “The curse of poverty is reversed—I enter my wealthy place (Psalm 66:12)!”
- “My family line is rewired for holiness—my children shall serve the Lord (Isaiah 59:21)!”
Conclusion: Your Bloodline is Redeemed!
Pray this:
“Father, thank You for making me a curse-breaker through Christ. By His blood, I cancel every generational curse over my life. I reject every familiar spirit assigned to my destiny. From today, my family’s story changes for Your glory, in Jesus’ name!”
Action Steps:
- Fast for 3 days to break stubborn curses (Isaiah 58:6)
- Anoint your home with oil as a sign of consecration
- Study “curse-breaking” scriptures daily (e.g., Deuteronomy 28, Galatians 3:13-14)
Remember: You’re not a prisoner of your genealogy—you’re a product of Christ’s redemption!Walk in your covenant freedom today.
“Neither shall one say, ‘Here is the sickly,’ for the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.” (Isaiah 33:24). Your bloodline is healed!
