QUESTION AND ANSWER SERIES (Restitution and Faith)
TEXT: Titus 2: 11-15
KEY VERSE: Acts 17:30:
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men
everywhere to repent”
QUESTION 1: Is restitution required for sins committed by a child who has
reached age of accountability?
ANSWER:
As long as the spirit of
God gives you a memory of what you did and that is wrong, you are a soul, the
soul does not get older is the body that gets older it is eternal. Man became a
living soul if you die you go to hell but the soul is alive in hell forever so
you do not give age to the soul but to the body.
Assuming a child at the
age of 12, takes some money and hides it somewhere, you not showing anybody. If
for instance he repents when he comes to the age of 20, God demands that he
tells them about that money and do proper restitution. What will he say? He
will say that some years ago, I collected money and I ate it. That is
restitution, that which you did when you were a child and you remember that it
was wrong and the Holy Spirit brings it to your mind, apologize for it and make
amends.
Question 2: If you have been hoping
for something and you have the faith and you come out and testify by faith that
Lord has done it, is it wrong?
Answer:
Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Yes if you received
assurance by the Holy Spirit you can share with somebody yes although I have
not got it but it is done already. Let your audience understand your conversion
because you are so clear you have got it from your spirit, so that when it
comes they will understand. Make it clear to them that God has assured you and
that you know it is done. That is better. Then you have opportunity to give two
testimonies so that when it comes you have the opportunity to say I told you
before, now look at it. They people will understand your testimony. Otherwise
if you have earlier said that you have got it already, and later repeat the
same thing afresh, they may be wandering whether you got it twice. They may not
understand your testimony. I have got it by faith and I am sure it is done so
that when the substance comes, see the substance of my faith
Thought for the day: God requires that which is
past.
Song for the day: I believe, Yes Lord I believe,
it is well with me….
