TOPIC: THE BEAUTY OF RESTITUTION

 


TOPIC: THE BEAUTY OF RESTITUTION

December Friday 11th

Text: Luke 19:1-10

Key verse: Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

  

Failure to carry out restitution may cause you to slip back to your sins. Did you say you are born again but you are married to a second wife? You must do your restitution by sending that woman away in peace. If not, the moment you engage in sexual intercourse with that woman again, your testimony is destroyed. It is satanic deceit for a man who has abandoned his first wife and got married to a second wife to think his name is in the book of life. Forget about those who lay claim to the Holy Ghost and go about speaking in tongues whereas they are in a wrong marriage. Do you know that you can put out fire, yet smoke could still be going up? Your life is in smoke now. The real fire of righteousness is quenched because you are with another woman.  You may say, “But God is still answering my prayers?” This happens because God in His wisdom, patience and endurance believes you will change tomorrow, but at present, your name is not in the book of life.


The Lord came to Abimelech and said, you are but a dead man. Abimelech claimed innocence saying. “Will you also slay a righteous nation? In the purity of my heart and innocence of my hands have I done this.” God referred to him as a dead man because he had transgressed the law by marrying another man’s wife. “Restore the man his wife, otherwise I have told you that you are dead.” Not to do your restitution as required by God is sin standing against you. The gospel of Jesus is adorned by the doctrine and practice of restitution. It makes the doctrine of Jesus beautiful. You borrowed money from somebody for 15years and the man has been waiting for you to pay but you refused to pay him. Now that you have repented, you must look for the man and plead with him. “Oh, sorry I borrowed money from you long ago and did not pay. Now I have repented and I am willing to repay.” That is restitution! Even if the man decides to forgive the debt he will cherish the doctrine of Christ. He will wonder at Jesus. He will praise the Lord for what has happened. Others will see it and also praise the Lord. They will thank God for your life. 


Thought for the day: The gospel is adorned by the doctrine and practice of restitution. 

Song for the day: You are worthy to be praised (2x) My Redeemer, You are worthy.....

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 9-11; Revelation 2

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...
