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

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
