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.
Thought For The Day: Follow peace and holiness with all men.
Song For The Day: I have decided to follow Jesus…

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
