“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity”- [Psalms 133:1].
Laying a foundation on the Theme: Unlocking Family Potential for Divine Destiny to the three [3] congregations and based on Romans 8:28-30 and Matthew 20:20-23, the Provost of ASCK Rev. Canon Michael Mukhwana clearly defined ‘to Unlock’ as means to undo as well as unleashing the stored energy; while ‘Divine Destiny’ is to reach/ come to a place of Christ’s likeness.
He further on reminded the congregations that God created us as relational beings [Gen 1:28-29] but due to man’s fall in [Gen 3]; the relationship between God and man was broken and only restored through Jesus’s redemptive work on the Cross. The Preacher pointed out:
* The manifestations of evil that hinder families from experiencing fulfillment that God has design for them which include among others: Near success syndrome, Night mares (Demonic oppressions), Persistent sickness that defile Medical diagnosis, Marital inegibility & Instability (divorce, separation) to mention but a few. He cautioned that once the above have developed into generational patterns of occurrence, they become a threat that needs to be addressed.
* The Provost on the other hand highlighted some of the hindrances to unlocking the family potential and they include:
Curses, un-confessed sin, cultism, Witchcraft, Idolatry, poor parental upbringing (Child Abuse and Pampering) to mention but a few. Congregations were urged to unlock their family potential by identifying the gates to rewrite your family history;
