TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION TO GOVERNMENT – Senator Emmanuel Bwacha
TEXT: Psalm 37:5-6
KEY VERSE: 1 Thessalonians 2:10

There was this very serious restitution I did. I was once the Chairman of the Committee on Police Affairs of the House of Representatives and I remembered the things that transpired when I was in office - the bribes, the monies that exchanged hands before one could attend to any proposal etc. So when I remembered all those things, I decided to go and meet the incumbent Inspector-General of Police. When I met him in his house and he saw me (he knew me well because when I was in the House he was quite a junior officer but at this time, he had risen to the peak), he said, “Is there anything my Chairman?” I said, “I have come to you on a different matter.” Then he sat to listen to me. I said to him, “Do you remember this and that event that happened while I was serving as Chairman?” (Incidentally, he knew some of those things). Then I said, “Now my eyes have opened and you are the Inspector-General of Police. I have come to seek for forgiveness because it was a crime against the Government. I am seeking for your forgiveness because you are in a position to forgive me, otherwise you could prosecute me. I ask that you forgive me because I know that I did wrong.” He was surprised and said, “Ah! But chairman, you know you were helping your people.” I replied, “No, but it was wrong.” He was surprised because what I was saying was very strange to him. He might have even thought I was out of my mind. Then he said, “This thing has already passed, why are you bothering about it?” I said, “No, it is in my record before God.” So he looked at me and said, “In that case, I have forgiven you,” and I was very happy.

When I walked out from there, I was just thanking God because he could simply have detained and prosecuted me. I prayed before going to him and the Lord granted me favour. I enjoyed my peace and it also gives me a guide in what I would do next. In anything I am doing now, I am very careful so that tomorrow I would not have to go back to do another restitution. Now, that which is not my own, I stay away from it. If you are coming to appreciate me, that is a different matter and I will receive it with thanksgiving but I will not touch anything that does not belong to me.

Thought for the day: Restitution brings peace of mind.
Song for the day: Following Jesus every day by day, nothing can harm me……
Bible reading for the day: Joshua 4-6; Luke 2:1-24

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...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
