"I FEEL CURSED"
Brothèr,

Today, we're fasting from the thought that says: "I feel cursed."

Many people feel cursed when bad things happen, or when they seem to happen repeatedly. We can also feel like if a problem or disease runs in our family, it's bound to happen to us, too. But it doesn't have to!
LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY
1. THE CURSE IS ALREADY BROKEN!
Galatians 3:13 says, Jesus redeemed us from the curse, by becoming a curse for us when He died on the cross. Identify with the finished work of the cross. Declare that the curse is broken, and you are blessed, not cursed!

2. YOU ARE OF A NEW BLOODLINE.
When you are born again, the blood of Jesus runs through your veins (2 Corinthians 5:17). Start expecting the blessing on His life to be on yours. You are a joint heir with Jesus Christ; you are His family, and His blessing runs in the family (Romans 8:16-17).

3. ADOPT A "COVENANT MINDSET."
You are the seed of Abraham. Galatians 3:29 says, when you belong to Christ, you are Abraham's seed, and the blessings that came to him, will come to you. God made a covenant with Abraham, to bless him in every way (Genesis 24:1). That promise is yours!

4. EMBRACE THE RIGHT IDENTITY.
You can choose which identity you will live out: The one your family gave you; or the one God gave you. In Judges 11:1, history called Jephthah the son of a prostitute. BUT GOD called him a mighty man of valor. Choose God's calling over your life. Stop expecting the habits or problems of your family's past to be yours.

5. EXPECT ALL THE BLESSINGS BECAUSE OF JESUS.
Deuteronomy 28:2 says, "All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you." Blessings are no longer earned through OUR obedience; they are given to you through Jesus Christ's obedience (Romans 5:17-19).

THINK IT AND SAY IT
I am redeemed! Jesus destroyed the curse 2,000 years ago. I am of a new bloodline. The blood of Jesus runs through my veins. His blessing runs in the family, and I'm His family! Through Jesus’ death, I now have access to His life. Instead of sin, I now have righteousness. Instead of disease, I now have healing. Instead of the curse, I now have the blessing. Instead of sorrow and sadness, I now have joy. I expect all the blessings to come upon me and overtake me! I refuse to accept what history calls me. I accept what God calls me, in Jesus' Name.
In God's great love,

For book lovers who do not want to limit their scope to just romance, you can try thrillers and look for other genres that might interest you. Someone I highly recommend in the thriller aspect is Freida McFadden. Her books are utterly amazing and will fill you with suspense,awe and admiration for the way she writes. Her books are page turners that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you may be surprised by the twists and turns which you will never expect as each page draws you in until you finish the book. You can try out The house maids series,The locked door and The teacher.

*"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."* (Romans 15:13)

I am a book lover and I finished reading a novel titled Akwaugo recently. The novel combines the themes of folklore and romance and tells the story of Akwaugo and Tobechukwu whose lives become entwined after a chance encounter. But their love is one whose path is filled with uncertainty and difficulties amidst traditions that threaten to keep them apart. It is a very interesting read with a lot of lessons to learn from. If you haven't read it, I recommend you check it out.

“Engagement marks the end of a whirlwind romance and beginning of an eternal love story.” – Rajeev Ranjan

The "love of women" can refer to a deep emotional, romantic, or physical attraction to women. It’s a complex and multifaceted concept, shaped by cultural, personal, and social factors. It can manifest as romantic love, admiration, or an appreciation for women in a variety of forms—whether it’s for individual women, as part of a broader appreciation for gender, or in a romantic sense, where one is attracted to women in particular.

In the context of romantic relationships, the love of women often involves feelings of affection, care, and commitment. It can also be tied to ideas of respect, equality, and mutual understanding. There’s also the idea that such love should be based on genuine connection rather than objectification or superficial attraction.

However, the "love of women" can be interpreted differently depending on the perspective. Sometimes, it can carry negative connotations, especially when it leads to possessiveness, objectification, or unhealthy behavior.

How do you see the love of women? Are you exploring a specific angle or perspective on this?

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
