There are five major areas for which we should seek God’s consecration (sanctification, dedication, blessing, hallowing). These are Birthright, Office, Community, Time and Land. Your birthright are things that are due to you simply based on your birth, or birth order. You have birthrights attached to your natural lineage and your rebirth in Christ Jesus. You have rights of citizenship based on where you were born or where your parents were born. You have inheritance rights to property owned by parents or others. Above all- you are a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven. The enemy will try to rob you of your birthrights.
An office is a position of authority of service. We can occupy the position of daughter, sister, mother, wife, Prophet, employee, employer, etc. There are rights, responsibilities and blessings attached to offices. There are also curses, negative cycles and patterns attached to offices. For example, the first son usually gets a “double portion” of his father’s inheritance. But the first son often has huge responsibilities that weigh on him spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc. If not managed well by relying upon the grace of God, first sons often grow weary in their well-doing and crumble under the burden of responsibilities. First sons in many developing countries often die prematurely due to the stress and burdens related to their office of first son.
A community is a social unit with commonality such as place, norms, culture, religion, values, customs, or identity. Our first community is our family of origin. Community also includes but is not limited to extended family, ethnic group, church family, etc. God is intentional. God has a purpose and plan for each individual, family and social unit within the earth and world system. He places a mandate and calling on these units. God releases gifts, graces, anointings and blessings upon these units to do that which they're called to do. The enemy always tries to counter what God does. So there are also curses, negative cycles and patterns assigned to social units that are enforced by demonic powers.
One of the tools the enemy uses to enforce curses, negative cycles and patterns within a social unit is a strong man. Mark 3:27 says “No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.” According to Evangelist Joshua Orekhie, a strongman is an agent of darkness. A strongman is a demon that steals, kills, destroys, oppresses, delays and frustrates a person’s destiny. He’s an enemy of your progress, success, and breakthrough. In every family, there is a principality that torments them. For example, if you discover in some families, there is always marital delay, poverty, suffering, barrenness, miscarriage, demotion afflicting them, know that there is a strongman that is enforcing these symptoms into the line of that family. Foundational strongman needs to be destroyed with deliverance prayers.”
Time is a unit of measurement for actions, processes, conditions which succeed one another from past, through present, and to future to fulfill our destiny and calling in the earth. Time is a unit of destiny. Our time can be blessed. It can be cursed by time wasters which cause our actions, processes, conditions and events to be unfruitful and unprofitable. Too often we think of the devour eating away at money or health. But the devour can waste time. The Book of Joel promises restoration of time that has been wasted by devouring spirits.
Land is the terrestrial surface of Earth not submerged by the ocean or another body of water. This could be your personal property, a town, city, state, region, country, continent. The Land can be blessed. It can be cursed. It can be polluted. It keeps score. It testifies for or against people, places and things. The land can be used as a point of contact to speak blessings or curses over people, places and things which come into contact with the terrestrial plane in any location in the earth. An herbalist in a village in Ogun State Nigeria can step onto the soil and use it as a point of contact to perform a ritual against someone in NYC. A woman of God can step onto the soil in McDonough, GA and use it as a point of contact to speak blessings, life and favor over members of the Body of Christ in China. Using points of contact has the same effect as the actual laying on of hands.
