RESTITUTION IS APPLICABLE TO THE NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS

23RD SATURDAY APRIL

TEXT: LUKE 19:1-10 

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.

Restitution is practised generally even among the heathen. Very often you see someone apologizing to another, “I am sorry.” This is also practised in the government. We have the police station and the law court where the government organizes restitution and makes laws and decrees that will affect restitution among the citizens. The Economics and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria ensures that embezzled funds are recovered. Some people think that the New Testament believers are exempted from restitution 

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.

Song for the day: Holy life, we want to live holy, you must live holy as example…
