TOPIC: WHY RESTITUTION IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR FINAL SALVATION
TEXT: EXODUS 22:1-7
KEY VERSE: Ezekiel 33:15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 

Restitution is the act of righting a past wrong. It is also the restoration of what has been wrongly acquired or giving back the equivalent of what has been lost or damaged. God gave this commandment to compensate people that are hurt by our wrongdoings and in the spirit of promoting love among ourselves. John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Restitution is a deterrent to wrongdoing when one considers the pain and backlash associated with it. For instance, a pastor that commits adultery and needs to restitute to his wife and stand before the church to make confession will pass through a lot of emotional trauma and shame, apart from other disciplinary actions that will follow.
 
Restitution is needful for these following reasons.

(a)  IT IS A COMMANDMENT OF GOD (Leviticus 6:1-7). God in His infinite wisdom commanded it so it must be obeyed. Restitution existed even before the law of Moses (Genesis 20 3-7). God says he will require the past (Ecclesiastes 3:15).
(b)  TO HAVE A CLEAR AND CLEAN CONSCIENCE TOWARDS GOD AND MAN (1 Samuel 12: 1-5; Acts 24:16). After restitution, you are able to come boldly before God in prayers or minister to God’s children because you have a clear conscience. Satan cannot raise any false accusation against you to cause you emotional trauma.  
(c)  IT IS A CLEAR EVIDENCE OF YOUR GENUINE CONVERSATION. Restitution makes people to accept your conversion as true and genuine. It also shows your readiness of our heart to obey God completely. Luke 19: 8-9. Without restitution, your salvation cannot be complete. 
Restitution must be prayerfully done and under proper spiritual guidance in order not to cause collateral damages.

Thought for the day: Do your restitution in good time for the sake of heaven.
Song for the day: Is not by might … by my Spirit says the Lord.
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 18-19; John 6:22-44

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
