TEXUAL SURCE: MALACHI 3:9-12
Not paying tithes activates several different curses. Many people think that
not tithing only sets in motion the “curse of Malachi”. But not tithing sets in
motion much more than the curse of Malachi. It sets in motion several other
curses which have devastating effects and that is what this chapter is all
about.
What is a curse anyway? A curse can be defined in many ways. These
twelve definitions of a curse will help you to understand what it means to be
under a curse. I cannot imagine what it means to be under multiple curses.
The Twelve Definitions of a Curse
1. A cursed person is someone who will experience persistent frustration.
2. A cursed person is someone who is behind and below in everything.
3. A cursed person is someone on whom a specific evil has been invoked.
4. A cursed person is someone who is plagued with mysterious freak
incidents.
5. A cursed person is someone who is a persistent failure.
6. A cursed person is someone who is persistently rejected and set aside.
7. A cursed person is someone who is never chosen.
8. A cursed person is someone who is unable to redirect his life in a
positive direction.
9. A cursed person is someone who is bereft of critically important
information.
10. A cursed person is someone who is constantly assigned to the bad
option.
11. A cursed person is someone who only encounters bad people.
12. A cursed person is someone who is always last and ends as the loser no
matter how he starts.
