When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
- Gen. 4:12 (KJV)
This verse lists the consequences of the curse that God placed upon Cain. There are only three consequences listed in this verse, but they are dire enough to dissuade anyone from committing murder even though murders are committed every day.
The first consequence is a lack of productivity. Wherever Cain went to work in the earth, he would not receive full efficiency from the seeds that he has planted. You can tell if someone is cursed when you see them working all of the time without any results attached to the work.
The second part of the curse is that Cain was made to be a fugitive. A fugitive is someone that escapes from prison. The fugitive stays constantly on the run so that he will not be captured by the authorities. You can tell if someone is cursed because the person always seems to be on the go without taking time to rest.
The final part of the curse is that Cain was made to be a vagabond. A vagabond is a person that continues to move from place to place wandering aimlessly through life. You can tell if someone is cursed if a person keeps moving from house to house, from job to job, from one relationship to the next. A lack of stability is a definite sign of the curse.
Numerical Breakdown: (4) To gain instruction, realize that you have to work. Work is a requirement. (3) Walk in the Spirit or remain unproductive. (7) Be perfected by God or remain a vagabond. (1) Stay in the anointing or remain a vagabond. (2) Walk in God's kingdom or remain a vagabond.
