IMPLICATION OF REFUSING TO DO RESTITUTION   
         
TEXT: GENESIS 20:1-18
KEY VERSE: GEN 20:18 “For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife”
Restitution is required for all believers to prevent the accuser (the devil) from accusing them before God. It is also to enable one to be at peace with all men which is a necessary condition for entry into Heaven. Is there an implication if someone refuses to carry out restitution? Yes! The following are some of the implications:
• Failure to do restitution shows that the offender is disobedient to God’s command: For instance, if you are married to somebody’s wife or husband as it was in the case of King Abimelech, you are distorting God’s eternal plans for that man and the woman, and God will not be glad for you. God’s plan to make Abraham a great nation was for him and Sarah.
• Keeping somebody’s property or wife or husband in your possession is to say you have an accursed thing in your hand and the plague of God follows it. For keeping Sarah, Abraham’s wife, all the women in Abimelech’s palace had their wombs shut up by God. Your suffering may be a result of an accursed thing in your possession. Pray, seek counselling and do not hesitate to carry out your restitution and save yourself from the plague of God 
• God’s Judgment of eternal death is upon you for keeping an accursed thing or somebody’s wife or husband. The Lord told Abimelech “thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken is a man’s wife”. The money you have stolen from that person or government is God’s money. God is waiting to reverse your situation, suffering and cancel the death sentence against you if you will only carry out your restitution now and be liberated.
Genesis 20:14-18
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
18 For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Thought for the day: Failure to do restitution attracts plague from God
Song for the day: Sanctify me, purify me, sanctify me oh Lord
Bible reading: 2 Samuel 17-18; Luke 21:1-19

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
