TRADITIONAL EFFECT

Before Christianity was introduced to the African society, there existed traditional religion. I don't know much from then, but I think our ancestors had a way of protecting themselves. They believed in smaller gods, right? They must have committed their families into their hands, that could mean that all they did for the well being of their families would have a lifetime effect on whoever falls under those families. In a nut shell, there could be a family curse or covenant. If you come out of such a family, you would have to break free from that bondage if you wanna make a difference. So you see, the problem is not always from you; it could be a generational problem which is manifesting in every family member's life. You can break free if you seek God's intervention; after all whoever seeks, finds.
