 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

Topic: WHY A NEW CONVERT NEEDS TO DO HIS OR HER RESTITUTION  November Friday 27th

Text: Judges 17:1-4

Key verse: Judges 17:2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my son.  


Not many know or believe your present claim that you are now in Christ. Your further action in restitution will convince them. Go and confess to your husband all those lies you have been telling him. Actually, he might have discovered some of them even though he did not tell you; but has already lost confidence in you. For some women, your husband’s confidence in you is just 50% or 40% because he has discovered your secret sins. The person you did that thing with had informed him without your knowledge. 


If you would now come forward to voluntarily confess to him, he will say to himself, “This woman has changed indeed. I was just managing her as one manages a bad tyre hoping to change it when a new one comes.” With her confession he will now be fully convinced of her conversion and changed life because she has opened up on her own on all those secret things the husband knew about and even mentioned some he knew not. This is what God expects of you. Why will you abuse Christianity? Why will you fail to do what is right?

 

The name of the Lord will be blasphemed if restitution is not done on your past sinful life which is known to all. They knew you as an evil man or a ruffian. Now, they just see you carrying bible about. They will begin to imagine if it is another style you have adopted for your evil practice or you have actually had an encounter with Jesus. They are waiting for your testimony. The people you wronged, the people you abused, they are all waiting to hear that story of your spiritual transformation. But if you do not do it, they will think you have only adopted another strategy to harm them. 


Even with the bible you are carrying they will still be suspicious of you and be trying to avoid you. Even if you perform signs and wonders they will think you are using evil power like Simon the sorcerer. May be you are still wearing ring on your finger in ignorance of biblical truth, they will look at it and say that is the source of your power which you must have collected from India or Ghana or Ijebu Ode. They will say among themselves, “Be careful with that juju man.” That is why you need to go and do your restitution so that the people will know about the great grace that saved you and made you a new creature.  


Thought for the day: Restitution is an evidence of new life in Christ 

Song for the day: See me through Lord Jesus see me through (2x), There is a race....

Bible reading for the day: 

Ezekiel 38-39; 1Peter 4

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
