TOPIC: REASONS FOR RESTITUTION 1 – IT IS A COMMANDMENT
TEXT: Job 42:7-8
KEY VERSE: Genesis 20:7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

Restitution is an important aspect of the life of a Christian who is saved, who is led to the Lord in true repentance and conversion. A Christian who is saved still needs to examine himself for the journey to heaven. The number one reason why restitution is necessary is because God said so. In Genesis 20:7 God said, “Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.” This is a commandment which the Lord gave to Abimelech and to everybody who has done wrong. If you find yourself erring or you have done wrong, or you have stolen something that is not yours, you should restore it so that you will have a clear conscience and straighten your relationship with God. Therefore, restitution is not just a human idea but a scriptural commandment. God desires in his fair judgment that those who are hurt by our actions are pacified and comforted. Through this, relational frictions and discord are minimized and broken relationships are restored. 

We see this again in today’s reading text with regards to Job’s friends. They had defamed Job’s character, which is what we know in our secular laws as “defamation of character.” Because the friends of Job accused him wrongly and spoke to him harshly, the Lord commanded them to retract what they had said and apologize so that he could pray for them. This is similar to God’s commandment to Abimelech to restitute to Abraham so that Abraham could pray for him for the curse of God upon his kingdom to be lifted. As a commandment of God, restitution is something that should not be ignored or handled carelessly. It is good we know this because these things are not being taught in most of the churches. In fact, you hardly hear about them because the ministers who are supposed to teach them are finding it difficult to do their own restitutions.

Thought for the day: When you do your restitution, you are being obedient to God.
Song for the day: I am ready to obey Thy word…….
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 31-33; Matthew 22:23-46.

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...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
