Restitution Is Applicable To All Believers 

Sunday 12th January

Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17, Isaiah 34 :16.
Key verse: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20
Some people think that when the Bible says, “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.” This doesn’t mean that they should not bother about the damage they have caused to people in the past, or about the money they borrowed ten years ago, or about the lies they have told which have had damaging effects on people's lives. You can see here clearly that they are very wrong. We must compare scripture with scripture. You do not just take one portion of the scripture and run with it; it has its own mates. “Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate.” 
Similarly, some people think that restitution was a doctrine practiced in the Old Testament and does not apply to the New Testament. As a moral law, it does apply, except that the additives or percentage of the principal to be added stated in the time of law does not apply now. In the New Testament, the demand is to restore the principal. Any addition to the principal if the circumstances require so, should be done in the spirit of truth and pure conscience. If the person offended demands addition to the principal, discussion should be made to arrive at the justifiable percentage to be added. But if he is content to have the principal sum only, then, that should be done in love and appreciation. No scripture is alone or of any private interpretation; they are intertwined. For every scriptural passage, there is one or more scriptures elsewhere to make it clearer, to show that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter is established.  You do not come out to say that the things you did yesterday do not matter anymore, just because you have forgotten about them. You forgot, but God and the offended have not forgotten. Come to think of it, when you became born again, did your name, face and eyes change? No. 
Thought For The Day: Restitution announces your salvation. 
Song For The Day: Give me that old time religion 3X It’s good enough for me.
Bible Reading For The Day: Genesis 39-41

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
