KEY VERSE: ECC 3:15 “That  which hath been is now, and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past”
Restitution can be seen as the practice of the law of conscience, formal or informal, whereby the offender rectifies his ways by confessing his crime to those he has offended in apology. He may be required to return stolen items to the rightful owner or confess lies told or acted to those deceived or pay back their debts owed or relinquish false claims, property, results, certificates, and uncover hidden crimes committed against men or society.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Comparing scriptures reveals that God requires the past, and commands believers to follow peace with all men. The damage you caused people in the past or the money you borrowed ten years ago and your lies have caused damage to people. When Jesus went to the house of Zacchaeus, the people started murmuring until Zacchaeus rectified his past by announcing he would give half of his goods to the poor, and if he has cheated anybody he would restore fourfold. And Jesus declared “today is salvation come to this house”. Do your restitution as commanded by God and where necessary seek counselling from the holy minister of God to have peace with God and man.
Luke 19:8-10
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Thought for the day: Restitution seals your salvation by putting the devil to shame.

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...

My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit. When My Spirit enters, if you obey My word, My Spirit will follow you to do My work. People will listen to you and follow you. They are My chosen. If they listen to My word and reject it, let them go. Evangelize, preach My word to everybody, I am here gathering My people before My coming. If the time was not finished, would the animals have come to Noah? The time is...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
