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...

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...
