Open Heaven 20 March 2026 don land with heavy gist for morning. The topic wey dem drop na THE ROOT CURSE, and di gist be say root level curses fit ground your life, not just surface wahala. The devotional, written by Pastor E A Adeboye, come with memory verse and bible reading from 2 Kings 2:21 and 2 Kings 5:20-27, plus di Gehazi and Gehazi story for 2 Kings 5. The message carry one clear line: for lasting deliverance, you must touch the source and heal the root, no just fast-fade the leaves. The key line wey dem emphasize be the idea that to heal the waters, you must heal the root, not the downstream stream.
Di matter of the root curse deep. The reading from 2 Kings 5:20-27 show Gehazi the servant of Elisha attempt to collect wealth from Naaman and the consequence be that Naaman inherits the leprosy which cleave to Gehazi and his seed. This show say curse can travel through a family if the root sin or deception enter covenant. And the commentary remind us that leaves on a fig tree may still look green while the root dry up. That one na the picture for root level curses: outward prosperity can exist with hidden decay beneath. Even talk say some curses fit come from God and no man fit reverse them, so we must seek God for root level deliverance. The mata also warn say malicious break away from covenant fellowship for church fit injure the root of life.
How to receive root level deliverance wey go reach the root. The dev propose some steps: identify the source not the symptom; bring a fresh approach to the problem; apply the new salt of covenant through Jesus Christ to the root; plead the blood to the root and address ancestral sins with prayers and confession; wait in faith during the green leaf season because healing fit come gradually; and beware the danger of worshipping outward success while the root remains sick. The section also caution against malicious separation from a local church, because covenant ties strong for root deliverance.
Identify the Source not Just the Symptom: no dey waste time correcting only the visible signs. Ask the Holy Spirit reveal the origin, whether it be covenant disobedience, ancestral sin, or spoken curses, and then attack that root with sincere confession and targeted prayer.
The New Cruse of Salt: salt in scripture symbol covenant, preservation and judgment. A fresh vessel is required; not recycling old solutions. God wants to do a new work at the root of life through the new covenant in Christ Jesus.
Apply the Blood to the Root: the guidance urge you to plead the blood of Jesus over the origin point of the curse, to name and renounce ancestral sins and covenants, and to declare separation from negative patterns by the blood of Christ.
Wait in Faith During the Green Leaf Season: if you pray and the circumstance no change immediately, no give up. The root may be healed while leaves stay green for a season. Be patient and expect manifestation in due time.
The Danger of Malicious Separation: avoid breaking away from the local church in a malicious way, because that action can sever covenant ties and obscure root level deliverance.
Conclusion: Your spring shall be healed. The text invites you to pray the prayer of root level deliverance, asking God to remove every inherited or covenant curse from your family line, to apply the blood to the root, and to restore vitality to your life and lineage.
