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

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...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
