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

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. 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...
