Ezekiel 18:19 Yet you ask, does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
In other words, the buck stops with anyone of us who will access the motive power to will and to do, which is found in Christ alone. Just because our two parents had diabetes, does not mean to say that we must inevitably be diabetic. Through Christ, we can, and should grab the bull by the horns, and do that which enable us to live victoriously.
Just because one’s parents loved ice cream does not mean that the children must inevitably be servants of Ben and Jerrys. If a lack of physical exercise was a contributing factor, then all the kids who come after should be exercise fanatics, watching their diets and foods closely, so as not to aggravate or facilitate the onset of generational diseases.
Breast cancer in one’s family tree does not mean a woman from that family has no other choice but to get breast cancer. Living victoriously would involve studying the history of one’s family, and looking for those red flags of behavioral patterns that fostered the growth, and development of cancer, and then, with Christ abiding in the heart, victory could be realized in very many cases.
1st John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
