In mathematics, common denominators occur when different fractions share the same denominator.
Spiritually speaking, a “common denominator” within a bloodline or family refers to a shared characteristic, trait, pattern or circumstances found in multiple individuals within thesame bloodline.

What I mean by Common denominator in a spiritual sense is what Is found in one person within a bloodline or Family that is also found in another or in several others.

If you will read Genesis 26:6-11.
Isaac is following directly in his father’s footsteps. Abraham of course lied about Sarah being his sister while in Egypt in Genesis 12, and then again in Genesis 20 to Abimelech, king of Gerar. “Abimelech” was a dynastic title, so Abraham and Isaac did not lie to the same person, but to different people who held the same office at different times.

See Genesis 20:2 KJV (Abraham Lies).
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Now, Let’s See Isaac telling thesame lie about His wife.
Genesis 26:7 KJV
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.

It’s amazing how Two different Men Of thesame bloodline, from different time periods tell thesame lie. One of the things that I have pondered on over time is How thesame situation presents itself again and puts Isaac in the position to tell “Abraham’s lies” to another Abimelech..

If you will study the scripture further, you will find that Jacob falls into another kind of deception. In his case, it’s another lie, but this time, He is the recipient of the lie. Jacob is deceived into Marrying the wrong woman after seven years of labour. But let’s not forget that, Jacob told one of the greatest lies, if not the greatest lie in the Bible. Jacob told a lie that makes Him take his brothers blessings. Abraham lied, Isaac lied, But Jacob improved on the lies to become a deciever. And so the line continues, with this trait evolving into extreme forms. Study the story of Jacob and his sons very well, You will see that lying spirit evolving to extreme height.

What I am trying to show you is this: There is something about the bloodline that will transfer both blessings and curses to next generations. Offcourse they are ways to break this patterns, but it requires great efforts, sacrifice and labour. That’s where Many believers fall short: they are not willing to pay the price to be free, they prefer to use scriptures to cover up weakness and laziness.

Now there’s what I call “The New Creature deception” regarding this Matter. Many would quote, if a Man be in Christ, He is a new creature, Old things are passed away and all things have become new. That scripture is 100% true, but greatly misrepresented. I will deal on this indepthly tomorrow.

But I want to make the submission that, God’s word doesn’t stir up confusion. The confusion that births the new creature deception is from the oversimplification of Bible truths. Let me emphasize that, Abraham is no ordinary figure in the scripture, But if someone like Abraham can transfer a lying spirit to his very godly seed, then foundational spirits need to be addressed more.

Lets consider another perspective: Abraham, the Father of the Faith committed sins that were passed down to his son, grandsons and even great grand sons. Like all children, Isaac imitated both the good and the bad that he saw in his dad. What a warning for all of us! As parents, there is a need to be very careful with what you do, your children don’t have to see you doing it, they don’t even have to hear you doing it. Whatever is in you automatically gets updated into their own DNA and blood. Don’t be an Adulterous Father, The wife beater, don’t be A Nagging wife, The Adulterous Woman, Don’t be the unserious believer, Don’t be the prayer less parent: Because children and your children children’s have a way of taking your negatives and multiplying it to several heights.

Be very careful of sinful living. The Lord Help us all. Amen.

Tomorrow we will be 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. Take away from my life and family, the stain of ancestral patterns, in Jesus Name, Amen.
