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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
