MASAR: DISCIPLINEMASAR: DISCIPLINE

“ Masar” teaches us how to live correctly in the fear of the Lord.

It trains us for abundant life! Its fruit is honour, life, wisdom and the

pleasing of The Father. Lack of Masar is death, poverty and shame. It includes correction, and suffering the

consequences of rebellion and disobedience.

Generational ReapingGenerational Reaping

We reap the blessings of our family and our society every day - transport, water, sewerage, police, hospitals, schools etc.

BUT we also reap the EFFECTS of sin over our families and nations.

“Satan uses generational sin more than almost anything else, to afflict individuals, families, groups, churches, cities, regions and nations.” (John Sandford)

What is generational iniquity?

What is generational iniquity?

An inherited “weakness in our walls” of protection.

An alcoholic father - the son has to “guard” himself in that area.

G. I. needs to be confessed and repented for so the curses are “reaped” on the Cross.

The pathways of generational iniquity

The pathways of generational iniquity

2. Modelling the sinful patterns of behaviour of our parents, relatives.

3. Judging others - causes us to be judged. We become like what we are criticising in others.

4. We then make “inner vows” (covenants) such as, “I will never treat my kids like my mother treated me.” And then we do!
