For Many persons, there is a strong desire to step into The New. “The New” can be many things, it can be securing a great job, travelling out, getting your kids settled, rising to new levels, building a house or owning a property; “the new” can extend to securing political position etc. ‘The New’ is basically a desired future.
There is an intense clamour for change in today’s world. People just want to have things better: because a lot of folks are exhausted with their present. It’s not a today thing, Our society has always been alive and active with ambitions of people who want to make their lives better.

As I go through the scriptures however, I found a unique and interesting relationship. It is the relationship between The Old and The New. It appears to me as though there is a tie or chord that binds The Old to the New.
For any believer to successfully navigate the present to attain a better future, the past has to be properly studied, analysed and handled properly.
The relationship between the old and the new is often one of continuity and evolution. The “old” represents our past, while the “new” signifies innovation, change, and progress and future.

Evolution and continuity because the future is not predetermined; it is influenced by our actions in the present, which are often informed by our past experiences. Thus, while the past provides a foundation, it is our present actions and choices that shapes the direction and possibilities of the future. Meaning that, The past, the present and the future are all connected. That is, The Old, The Now And the New are all wired together; it is impossible for the new to exist without the old. All futures are built on the past and present.
Understanding this relationship can help us learn from the past, live in the present, and work towards shaping a better future.

In 1 Kings 18:30, we see that As Elijah sought to lead Israel into a new season, His first action was repairing the Lord’s alter. It reads:
And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. AND HE REPAIRED THE ALTAR OF THE LORD THAT WAS BROKEN DOWN.”

Write this down: To experience the new, you have to fix the Old.
Don’t forget that in 1 Kings 18:1, God said to Elijah, Go shew yourself to Ahab and I will send rain upon the Earth.
If you look at the Lord’s statement, it would appear as though God was going to send rain now whether the condition be right or wrong. This is the thought and thinking of Many today when we receive a prophetic word/ promise. We conclude that since God has spoken, we don’t have to do anything while we wait on the promise.

But if you observe, God did absolutely nothing and change absolutely nothing until the altar of the Lord that was broken was fixed.

Write this down: You are not ready for change until you are ready to fix the Old things in your Life.
This is what Jesus was doing with the rich young ruler. Matthew 19:21-22 NIV reads:
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

This rich Man was spiritual, by today’s standard: this guy should be Holy Ghost filled, tongue speaking, maybe pastoring: But you see, In the midst of all that spirituality, This brother was in love with His wealth. His wealth was the old thing in his life stopping him from walking with the Lord when God called him into THE NEW.

The question now becomes, What are the Old things in my Life that needs to go away for the new thing to step in?
In Numbers 20:10-13, we find that Moses’s ultimate downfall was due to his Anger: His uncontrolled emotions always got the best of Him. He is the guy who destroys the tablet of the Ten Commandments written in God’s hand. He is the guy who in Anger kills an Egyptian.
The scriptures however makes it clear that Moses never dealt with his Anger. He was spiritual, But failed to fix the Old thing in his Life and that stopped the fulfillment of God’s initial plan for his Life.
There are things in your Life today that is killing the prophetic word hanging over your Life.

Whatever you refuse to kill today, will come back to hunt you tomorrow. Now is the time to shut the devil up.

So, As you desire to break generational or foundational curses, One key thing you need to look out for is the Old thing in your Life that had never left, even though you are a giant in the realms of the spirit.
This Old things are Portals, gatways, entry points or access points through which Satan controls destinies and people.
A few examples of this access points are:
Lust, Pride, Envy, Unforgiveness, Adultery, Fornication, Sexual perversions, Abusing Of One’s spouse (physically, emotionally and intellectually) and Many more.
This access points are entry points through which, Old things flows into New things.
So the first step to gaining deliverance from generational patterns and ancestral curses is by closing those entry/ access points.

Take note of this: No amount of prayer can Help you, until the access points are closed. This access points are closed Manually not automatically, this is why your born again experience doesn’t automatically end generational curses and patterns. As long as the door is open, Nothing will stop Satan from coming in.
Next time, we will continue on this.

Let Us Pray.
Lord, Help me to rebuild what is broken, Help me to fix what is shattered, Help me to repent in the name of Jesus. Amen.
