Breaking the Stronghold

Bible Text: 2nd Corinthians 10:3-4

The Bible describes stronghold as a case where a pattern if evil passes throufh from one generation to another. There are stongholds in every family. In some families, these stongholds cause deaths at a certain age in their lives. For others, these strongholds  make it impossible for the members in the family to succeed. In other cases, these strongholds can cause barreness, delayed marriages, working hard without adequate rewards and much more.

In Africa and around the world, there is no family wihout a stronghold. This is because of the background of idolatory. Strongholds can be positive or negative and they dwell in every family.

2. Abraham and Isaac - Stronghold of Lies (Genesis 22:1-7)
