UNDERSTANDING RESTITUTION ( Part I )
Leviticus 6:4, “then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore what he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found”

One of the most important issues in Christian doctrines is restitution, it's what determines our eternity, what determines our relationship with Jesus after we are saved. Restitution is so important after Salvation that it has to be done immediately a person is genuinely saved. Salvation without restitution is half freedom and unconfirmed salvation.

The center of restitution is confession to men as the Bible commands us to confess to one another, but in a larger and clearer sense, restitution is restoring things wrongly acquired in old life of sin, returning what was wrongly taken or borrowed in the past; revealing lies, faked, falsified, fraudulent information and documents of past; reconciling with people we offended by apologizing and people who offended us by FORGIVING them; lastly it is also repaying debts we owed in the past which we refused to pay or forgot to pay. By reality, every child of God has at least one or two matter of restitution.

When you are truly saved and the Lord has forgiven and cleansed you from all your sins; the Spirit of God enters into your life, and immediately He begins to point to you what you need to amend and restitute. The First and Greatest Teacher of restitution after salvation is the HOLY SPIRIT, speaking to our mind, our conscience what to restore, reveal, and return and who to reconcile with. It’s spiritually natural after genuine salvation. If you are truly saved and nothing is ministered to your spirit to correct or confess to people, it means there is need for second touch to see clearly or you are blocking the speaking of the Spirit into your heart.

Everybody of us was born a sinner, grew in sin to a particular level before we become born again. Since nobody is sinless before salvation, every body has one or two restitution to do. Sin is offending God and man, when we come to Jesus, confess our sins to Him and ask Him to forgive us, He does just that. After God has forgiven and cleansed, then we reconcile with fellow men.

The most and first important thing is to settle and reconcile with God, every sinner is fighting with God, but when we come to God through Jesus, when we repent from all our sins, confess them and accept Jesus into our lives, we reconcile with God and that made us to be children of God Almighty instead of His enemies. Paul said, “Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.” Acts 23:1.

When we repent from our sins and confess them, we have good conscience before God, and that is the beginning of everything in our Christian lives. The salvation of our souls is the basic and foundation of Christian living, Christians without genuine salvation are religious Christians, not reckoned with God, and they are the majority in Christianity.

After our genuine salvation that gives good conscience before God, we move on to having same good conscience with men as a confirmation and evidence people will see. Apostle Paul furthered in Acts 24:16, “This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.” If truly we have a conscience without offense towards God, it will be also go towards men likewise. If God knows, men also will know. It is just like somebody saying “I love God” but he hates fellow men; how can he loves God he doesn’t see and at the same time hates fellow men he sees? Bible says such love is fake. The same is applicable with confession, when you confess to God you find it hard to confess to fellow men you that you can see, how genuine is that confession?

If you are afraid of what people will say or do if you confess, it means you fear men than God. You were not afraid to confess to Almighty God, Awesome God, All knowing God, who can kill and make alive; if you are not afraid to confess to that God fearful in praises, then why are you afraid to confess to fellow men? Here is what Jesus Christ says, “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28. The worst men can do to you after restitution is to kill your “temporal” body but only God has the power to destroy that body and soul, only Him you should fear. Fear brings snares; fear ensnares people, even after they are saved, not to claim their total freedom in Christ through restitution. Why will you be afraid to confess the sin to creatures after you have confessed and settled with the CREATOR?

THE SNARES OF UNDONE RESTITUTION
Proverbs 29:25, “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.”

Refusing to do restitution is as a result of fear; fear of people and profit, you know or see so that you will not loose their favor, and you may also be afraid of loosing life’s profits – your position, possession, properties, popularity, prestige or papers. Yielding to such fear will hold you in perpetual snares of Satan after salvation. Here are some of the snares:

Snares of Persistent Sin
When restitution is not done immediately you are saved, you will keep telling lies to cover the past sins. For example, a wife who runs a secret bank account without the knowledge of the husband, and now she is saved, she needs to open up to her husband and reveals; but if she doesn’t, she will need to keep telling lies to cover up. If you are using a false certificate or travel documents, after you are saved, you need to open up, if not, you need more lies to keep those papers. And that is how it is applicable in every area of life if you don’t open up, you will need to keep telling lies, you will need to commit new and another sin for you to cover the past and old sins; so where is your freedom in Jesus?

Snares of Profits of Sin
The benefits of sin are bondage in disguise, and you might have gotten one or two before you were saved, and so after you are saved, the only means you can be free from those snares of the benefits of past sins is by restitution. You return or reveal those benefits. The papers you got by sinful means, the possessions you got in sinful manners and the properties, positions and prestige you gained by sinful way or in sinful life must by relinquished. If you, by mistake, keep those things it means you are still keeping yourself in the snares of Satan, because they belong to Satan, things got by sinful means belong to Satan.

Snares of Poisoned Minds
Before you were saved, you offended people and people offended you. Those you offended are holding it against you with their minds poisoned in the process; you are holding unforgiving poisoned mind against those who offended you, because what they did were terrible, right. After you are saved, you reconcile with people; you forgive from your heart those who offended you, and as much as possible you notify them. Likewise you strive as much as possible to apologize to those you wronged in the past. By so doing, you release yourself from the snares of offense and unforgiveness.

Snares of Unsettled Mind
Undone restitution brings uncertain and unsettled mind. As a child of God, if you are delaying a restitution, you will persistently have uncertainty about your eternity and unsettled mind even AFTER you have confessed all to God. That shows restitution is important to God, even after confessing to God, your mind will still be unrest until you confess to some people. You don’t need to deceive yourself and harden your heart in the present of persistent unsettled mind.

Snares of Satan’s Access and Accusation
After salvation, if necessary restitution is not done, Satan will be using that means to have access into your life and to accuse you before God. That will bring attacks from the enemies, spiritual stagnation and unanswered prayers. And it can also bring premature death. That is one of the reasons you see many Christians being tormented by satanic attacks, old curses and enemies, because their undone restitution give access to enemies into their lives and marriages.

Snares of Missing Heaven
If a child of God denies or delays restitution for any reason, and he or she dies in such situation, hell is their eternal abode, painful but period! Many children of God, ministers of God will miss rapture, not because they were not genuinely saved, not because they were not living righteous lives after salvation but because of undone, unsettled restitution as a result of fear of loosing people or earthly profits.

Finally a thread on restitution... I dnt think one should, 2 Corinthians 5 : 17 makes me don't have much savour for it, but what if the person who does wrong is already born again? He should then ask for forgiveness and refrain from such.

Hmm my friend Gombs, at long last, you have the maturity to invite me to a sensible thread away from the 'sham caricature' you and Kenny created and subjected yourselves to recently.

This topic was treated some time ago. See this link. https://www.nairaland.com/1155998/restitution-christs-teaching-church-old#13754550

Maybe we can start from there.

Meanwhile, why didn't you invite pastor Jo?

He's been busy...Mid year Pastor's Refresher Course and ICLC...

Meanwhile, I can't make a head or tail of the thread above.... let's start here. Thanks

OK then

All I see from the OP is a rehash of the requirements of the mosaic laws. I'll be glad if the OP or any interested party can oblige us any new testament scripture that enjoins or commands restitution like Leviticus advocates.

We can take it from there.

Thank you Gombs for inviting me to this discussion. I will just speak as God gives Me liberty in spirit.

First two stories. Where I did my Youth Service, I lived in a Deeper Life Community. Listening to the messages, I noticed they paid a lot of attention on restitution. They had scriptures for them. I didn't mind it bc thanks to God I had no skeleton in my cupboard. But sometimes I couldn't help thinking if the practice was healthy at all.

Before going for service, I became friends with a Christian brother. This sincere brother was in real trouble. He had entered the University with fake result or something to that effect. He became a Christian and decided to restitute. He gave himself up to the school authorities. He was denied graduating even after providing a new result he had sat for. After two or three years since his mate graduated, the University pardoned him and he was let go.

I am certain many people have different reactions to that story. My own reaction is that God should never bring a temptation my way I cannot endure.

Back to restitution: I see it in two lights.

1. It is not neccesary. Why? Because of the blood of Jesus. Our Lord and Father FORGIVES AND FORGETS. So what's there to restitute? What those who teach restitution should teach is THE POWER IN THE BLOOD. Dassal!

2. There is a proper place for it.

Preachers must beware that they do not become Holy Spirit to people. The vast majority of what people do in church today is bc a preacher told them to do it. People tithe today and you ask them why, they say God told them to. What they do not tell you is that they have heard Malachi preached so much they begin to hear voices in their brains.

Same goes with restitution. When you listen to a message like that of the OP, you cannot but begin to think.

What we do not realize is that the converted Christian has God within him. He has God's laws written on his heart. He can be led of the Spirit too. Preaching is not telling people what to do, preaching is leading men to God to hear him for themselves. Jesus said blessed are our eyes and ears for they see and hear.

Having said that, IN VERY RARE OCCASIONS, it might be necessary to restitute. But it won't be bc someone preached on restitution or because one is guilt tripped to do it, it would be bc God the Holy Spirit instructed his son to do so. Even in such a case, the Christian should discuss the matter first with a sound Pastor and receive his agreement to go ahead. If its an action that would hurt more people than heal a few, it might be better left undone.

To wrap it up, let all Christians know God for themselves. Let them know what he requires of them and let's all stop this baby Christianity of sit down, stand up, don't go, go, etc. Let's come up to maturity as we rejoice first in what God had done for us in Christ Jesus, love him and live for him. If in the process we are instructed by him to do anything, let it be of free motivation from our hearts and not bc someone guilt tripped us to doing anything.

1Corinthians 8 talks of some who wound the tender conscience of God children; he says when they do this they sin against Christ. No one is god to anyone; we are all brethren; if we had enough sense to hear him call us to living faith with him, we should have enough sense to allow him lead us.

DO NOT BECOME SLAVES OF MEN.

Standing ovation...wow!

(Minus the tithe part), this is an outstanding piece...esp the "in very rare occasions" part

UNDERSTANDING RESTITUTION ( Part 2)
This is the second part of the Study about Restitution, the first part treated what restitution is all about, why a child of God must do restitution and consequences of unsettled restitution. You can check Part 1 on our Facebook page or send your email address to us so we can send it to your inbox.

THE BLESSINGS OF RESTITUTION
Judges 17:1-2. Now there was a man from the mountains of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 2 And he said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you, and on which you put a curse, even saying it in my ears—here is the silver with me; I took it.” And his mother said, “May you be blessed by the Lord, my son!

There are many blessings that follow after restitution is done, here are few of them:

Peace with Men
In our past old life, we wronged God and men, when we are saved, we make peace with God and so we must complete the process of peace by making peace with people. People we fought, we offended, or harmed before we were saved must be contacted and apologized to. People we had rancor, malice and animosity with must be settled with, even if we think they wronged us, even if we have decided not to greet them again, yet we must make peace with them for the sake of peace and to remove the bitterness, malice and others so that we don’t give room to the devil in our new lives in Christ. “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men” Romans 12:18

People you are living with, working with, schooling with; family members, friends and neighbors, every one we had issues with, as much as we can, we should settle peacefully with them.
When we make peace with all men, both right and wrong, it confirms our peace with God, it gives us peace and it’s the only way to see God, to enter heaven. “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord” Hebrews 12:14. When we settle with people peacefully, it shows we are truly children of God, the King of Peace; Jesus the Prince of Peace and we, the children of peace. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Matthew 5:9.

It Settles Old Accounts
Restitution is to settle our old accounts and close them. If you are saved and you have not made some past wrongs right by restitution, it simply means you keep your old account open which may stand against you here on earth and eventually disallow you to enter heaven. Undone restitution has the capacity to block God’s blessing in your life here on earth and block you from entering Heaven. The old records which stand against you can only be settled and closed by restitution. “Some men’s sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later.” 1 Timothy 5:24.

It confirms your new life in Jesus Christ
In different online and phone transaction, after you have sent your desired transaction, you will be asked to confirm your transaction. If you fail to “just” confirm, thinking since you have filled all the forms, supplied all the needed information and it has been sent and accepted, you think to confirm again is of no use, your transaction will be invalid and will not be processed. The same is in reality with restitution. After you have repented and confessed your sin to God and He has forgiven, cleansed and accepted you, you need to respond back to confirm your salvation by restitution. Think about it, if I were your neighbor and I stole your stuffs in past and using them. You knew and just kept quiet, then later I got saved and come to preach to you and still using what I stole from you, how will you feel? Restitution is a reality for every regenerated child of God.

It turns curses to blessings
Many curses in life are caused by wrong things that was done in past, and many problems facing children of God after they have been saved are not because the enemies are powerful over their lives in Christ but because they allow the old curses to have access to their new lives because of ignoring necessary restitution they need to do. Undone restitution allows the unsettled wrong of your past to haunt your present life even though you are now a child of God. You give access to Satan, enemies, generational curses and many attacks when you refuse to do needed restitution. This can also block the free flow of God’s blessing, progress and God’s promises for your life.

Undone restitution gives Satan to accuse you and oppose you in the present of God. Most of the problems making us to do fasting, special prayers, deliverance and attend several programs and the problems remain the same; those problems can be solved if we do simple acts of apologizing, forgiving or any necessary restitution as the case may be, and that end the mountainous problems, and that begins the progress and prosperity in your life, marriage and ministry. “And he said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you, and on which you put a curse, even saying it in my ears—here is the silver with me; I took it.” And his mother said, “May you be blessed by the Lord, my son!” Judges 17:2. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

It Gives Blessed Assurance
When restitution is settled, you have peace, you have more confidence in the Lord and you have assurance of heaven. Satan will not have anything to hold against you and you will have that strong boldness in your prayer. Here is what the Word of God says, “And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.” 1 John 3:19-22.
