TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION TO GOVERNMENT – Senator Emmanuel Bwacha
TEXT: Psalm 37:5-6
KEY VERSE: 1 Thessalonians 2:10

There was this very serious restitution I did. I was once the Chairman of the Committee on Police Affairs of the House of Representatives and I remembered the things that transpired when I was in office - the bribes, the monies that exchanged hands before one could attend to any proposal etc. So when I remembered all those things, I decided to go and meet the incumbent Inspector-General of Police. When I met him in his house and he saw me (he knew me well because when I was in the House he was quite a junior officer but at this time, he had risen to the peak), he said, “Is there anything my Chairman?” I said, “I have come to you on a different matter.” Then he sat to listen to me. I said to him, “Do you remember this and that event that happened while I was serving as Chairman?” (Incidentally, he knew some of those things). Then I said, “Now my eyes have opened and you are the Inspector-General of Police. I have come to seek for forgiveness because it was a crime against the Government. I am seeking for your forgiveness because you are in a position to forgive me, otherwise you could prosecute me. I ask that you forgive me because I know that I did wrong.” He was surprised and said, “Ah! But chairman, you know you were helping your people.” I replied, “No, but it was wrong.” He was surprised because what I was saying was very strange to him. He might have even thought I was out of my mind. Then he said, “This thing has already passed, why are you bothering about it?” I said, “No, it is in my record before God.” So he looked at me and said, “In that case, I have forgiven you,” and I was very happy.

When I walked out from there, I was just thanking God because he could simply have detained and prosecuted me. I prayed before going to him and the Lord granted me favour. I enjoyed my peace and it also gives me a guide in what I would do next. In anything I am doing now, I am very careful so that tomorrow I would not have to go back to do another restitution. Now, that which is not my own, I stay away from it. If you are coming to appreciate me, that is a different matter and I will receive it with thanksgiving but I will not touch anything that does not belong to me.

Thought for the day: Restitution brings peace of mind.
Song for the day: Following Jesus every day by day, nothing can harm me……
Bible reading for the day: Joshua 4-6; Luke 2:1-24

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
