IMPLICATION OF REFUSING TO DO RESTITUTION   
         
TEXT: GENESIS 20:1-18
KEY VERSE: GEN 20:18 “For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife”
Restitution is required for all believers to prevent the accuser (the devil) from accusing them before God. It is also to enable one to be at peace with all men which is a necessary condition for entry into Heaven. Is there an implication if someone refuses to carry out restitution? Yes! The following are some of the implications:
• Failure to do restitution shows that the offender is disobedient to God’s command: For instance, if you are married to somebody’s wife or husband as it was in the case of King Abimelech, you are distorting God’s eternal plans for that man and the woman, and God will not be glad for you. God’s plan to make Abraham a great nation was for him and Sarah.
• Keeping somebody’s property or wife or husband in your possession is to say you have an accursed thing in your hand and the plague of God follows it. For keeping Sarah, Abraham’s wife, all the women in Abimelech’s palace had their wombs shut up by God. Your suffering may be a result of an accursed thing in your possession. Pray, seek counselling and do not hesitate to carry out your restitution and save yourself from the plague of God 
• God’s Judgment of eternal death is upon you for keeping an accursed thing or somebody’s wife or husband. The Lord told Abimelech “thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken is a man’s wife”. The money you have stolen from that person or government is God’s money. God is waiting to reverse your situation, suffering and cancel the death sentence against you if you will only carry out your restitution now and be liberated.
Genesis 20:14-18
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
18 For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Thought for the day: Failure to do restitution attracts plague from God
Song for the day: Sanctify me, purify me, sanctify me oh Lord
Bible reading: 2 Samuel 17-18; Luke 21:1-19

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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
