LESSON INTRODUCTION: The word ‘CURSE’ according to the scripture is the act of summoning all forces on earth and heaven to destroy someone. I.e. appealing to supernatural power for harm to come to a specific person or group. In other words, to curse means utter a wish of evil against someone, to imprecate evil upon someone, to call for mischie or injury to fall upon someone.

From these above definitions, one can say God hate cursing that’s why 1 John 3:8 says one of the reasons Christ came is to destroy the works of the devil in which curse is one. And we concluded this part, may the almighty God destroy every chain of curse around us in Jesus might name.
