TOPIC: THE BEAUTY OF RESTITUTION

 


TOPIC: THE BEAUTY OF RESTITUTION

December Friday 11th

Text: Luke 19:1-10

Key verse: Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

  

Failure to carry out restitution may cause you to slip back to your sins. Did you say you are born again but you are married to a second wife? You must do your restitution by sending that woman away in peace. If not, the moment you engage in sexual intercourse with that woman again, your testimony is destroyed. It is satanic deceit for a man who has abandoned his first wife and got married to a second wife to think his name is in the book of life. Forget about those who lay claim to the Holy Ghost and go about speaking in tongues whereas they are in a wrong marriage. Do you know that you can put out fire, yet smoke could still be going up? Your life is in smoke now. The real fire of righteousness is quenched because you are with another woman.  You may say, “But God is still answering my prayers?” This happens because God in His wisdom, patience and endurance believes you will change tomorrow, but at present, your name is not in the book of life.


The Lord came to Abimelech and said, you are but a dead man. Abimelech claimed innocence saying. “Will you also slay a righteous nation? In the purity of my heart and innocence of my hands have I done this.” God referred to him as a dead man because he had transgressed the law by marrying another man’s wife. “Restore the man his wife, otherwise I have told you that you are dead.” Not to do your restitution as required by God is sin standing against you. The gospel of Jesus is adorned by the doctrine and practice of restitution. It makes the doctrine of Jesus beautiful. You borrowed money from somebody for 15years and the man has been waiting for you to pay but you refused to pay him. Now that you have repented, you must look for the man and plead with him. “Oh, sorry I borrowed money from you long ago and did not pay. Now I have repented and I am willing to repay.” That is restitution! Even if the man decides to forgive the debt he will cherish the doctrine of Christ. He will wonder at Jesus. He will praise the Lord for what has happened. Others will see it and also praise the Lord. They will thank God for your life. 


Thought for the day: The gospel is adorned by the doctrine and practice of restitution. 

Song for the day: You are worthy to be praised (2x) My Redeemer, You are worthy.....

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 9-11; Revelation 2

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
