RESTITUTION FOR THEFT/STOLEN ITEMS, TREACHERY AND EMBEZZLEMENT (PART 2)

 REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.

DATE: FRIDAY 7 JANUARY
TOPIC: RESTITUTION FOR THEFT/STOLEN ITEMS, TREACHERY AND EMBEZZLEMENT (PART 2)
TEXT: EZEKIEL 33:14-16
Key Verse: Ezekiel 33:15-If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
The Bible says that if God says to a man that he is going to die because of a sin he has committed or because of that which was stolen by him and that if he lives onward in righteousness, he shall live and not die. God is detailed about the steps man must take to reverse the death sentence.
As Zacchaeus did, theft of money or material things need confession, repentance and restitution to individuals, institutions or the Government. Treachery, cheating, “419”, embezzlement, requires confession, repentance and restitution.
The person cheated may choose to receive his money or material possession back, or may decide to forgive and not require payment. It is indeed acceptable. In that case, the person making restitution is relieved.
Ezekiel 33:14-16
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turns from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
God is not in haste to judge anybody; He is not political. He meant to take people who are pure to Heaven. He meant to take, even if it is only one person who qualifies among men, to Heaven and abandons the rest.
Therefore, you those who want to go to Heaven, God would want to help and support you to make it. But He wants to be thorough with you so that when you get there, you will not become another Lucifer, who will cause grievous heartbreak for HIM. So He wants a thorough work in you.
Co-operate with HIM for the thorough work of righteousness in your life. He is going to give you the grace to do a perfect work of personal righteousness; He will make a way for you to achieve the task. You do not just steal and tell God you are sorry; sorry is not enough.
If you are truly sorry, then return what you have stolen and God will know you are truly sorry because forgiveness of sins is a practical thing. Forgiveness of sin is the cancellation of sin. It is cleansing of bad records of sin. Then if that record has to be cleaned, it has to be restituted in sanctity.
Thought for the day: complete all your restitutions for your perfection and Heaven
Song for the day: Make me perfect O Lord (3x) in the morning in the night
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 18-19;
Matthew 6. #Horemow

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...
