Testimonies Of Senator Emmanuel Bwacha: Restitution Beautifies The gospel (2)

Text: Philemon 15-19        Friday 14th March

Key verse: If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. Philemon 17.
Thirdly, I was once Chairman of House of Representatives Committee for Police Affairs. I remembered the wrong things we did, and those things were haunting me. For example, the kind of bribes they will bring to you; before you do anything, money is given. So, I went to see the IGP. When I was serving then, he was quite a young officer but had risen to Inspector General of Police (IGP) at that time. He was very familiar with me, and he said, “Oga, is there anything, my Chairman?” I told him I had come to him on a different matter. Then I said to him, “Do you remember this, this, and this event?” Incidentally, he knew some of these things. I told him, “Now my eyes are opened. You are the IGP now. I have told you all that happened. I have come to seek forgiveness because it was done against the Government, and you are in a position to forgive or prosecute me because I erred and acted wrongly.” He said, “Chairman, I have heard you, but you used it to help your people.” I said, “Notwithstanding, it was wrong.” He was surprised because these things are strange out there. Some may think you are mad or out of your senses for daring to say such things or take such risks. He said, “These things are gone, please forget about that.” But I said, “No, it is in my record.” So, he looked at me and said, "In that case, I have forgiven you.” I was very happy. I walked out thanking God.
Fourthly, many years ago as a young man, I broke into the shop of an Ibo man and stole some things. The Lord brought the memory of this incident to me after my repentance, and I decided to do the restitution. After praying about it, the Lord laid in my heart to confess my sin to the man and then, buy him a car. I called the International Director to witness it. As I described the incident, the man remembered it clearly and said he had forgiven me. When I escorted him to where the new car was parked and gave him the keys, he was overwhelmed with joy and glorified God.

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 ...
