Introduction
         On several occasions, when you tell a family to perform family deliverance and spiritual work, they say that they have done so several times. Some families are no longer interested in performing further deliverance and spiritual work. Some would even complain that they have not seen any benefits from those deliverances and spiritual works already performed. Therefore, there is need to explain why family deliverance and spiritual works have to be performed and repeated from time to time.

The Need For Family Deliverance And Spiritual Works
         The Bible makes it clear that God visits the iniquities of the fathers on their children, to the third and fourth generations.

And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 "You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image — any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. Exodus 20:1-6

5 Now the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 6 And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation." Exodus 34:5-7

In the past, family compounds, lands and properties were dedicated to idols. So many families still have idols in their compounds or inside the ground, even without the people living in the compound knowing that such a bad and terrible thing is there. Many of these idols and charms were made with human blood, head or corpse. All these evils and abominations have to be cleared. The same thing applies to schools, churches, companies, establishments, offices, etc.

Why The Family Deliverance And Spiritual Works Have To Be Repeated
         It is good and necessaryt o repeat family deliverance and spiritual works from time to time, because of the following reasons:
  1. The world is God’s own school. Also it is a battle field between the forces of good and forces of evil. When the demons are bound and cast out, the Devil sends reinforcement or another group of evil spirits, who often are more devilish. As a result, every family has to continue to fight until they gain permanent victory. Jesus said, “Let him who is seeking, continue to seek until he finds”.

  2. The attitude of family members can spoil a good work. In some cases, you observe that some family members welcome the deliverance and spiritual work, while others or majority do not believe in the exercise. By rejecting the good works of God, they make themselves prone to demonic possessions, manipulation and attacks.

  3. Some family members refuse to participate in the exercise, and in some cases, they are going out while the minister is coming in.

  4. Some persons invite both good and bad forces. They would welcome the man of God to perform deliverance. Immediately the man of God is gone, they visit or invite a native doctor or marine priest. They forget that God is a jealous God - He is so righteous and holy that He does not co-habit with evils.

  5. God may decide to clear the ancestral evils, curses and problems in a gradual manner. Usually, many people are inpatient, and are in a haste to have God’s promises to them fulfilled immediately. They fail to understand that when God makes a promise, he has set a time for the fulfillment. As recorded in the Bible, God may decide to clear the problems one by one.

    27 "I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. 29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. Exodus 23:27-31

  6. You should ask yourself, “What is the life style o the family members?” Many return to their old and evil ways of life, immediately the man of God is gone. They easily forget that the blessings of God have conditions for the fulfillment and manifestation. That is why Jesus says, “When the church members are inside the church, they pretend to be holy and saints before the reverend ministers. But once they leave the church premises, they turn themselves into wolves and demons”. They cast off every restraint, and follow all forms of worldliness.

  7. God sees the past, present and future at the same time. Before people come to Him, He has already known those who would remain faithful to Him and those who shall not be faithful. He would not like to release His blessings for unrepentant sinners. No wise man ever equips his enemies against himself.
