Yes, restitution is important. Especially when you still have the item or can produce another to make for the one you took or converted. Restition can also be done in form of confession, admit what you've done to the person involved and plead for forgiveness. In a case where injury is severe and has caused physical damage, and repentance comes immediately after the incidence, give it time a bit, or use elders that can attest to your new faith to make restitution. However, there are cases where restitution is dangerous, and can complicate issues for you as a believer. Like in the case of murder, such cases should be handled with care. |

Chibenn You've taken the most important step which is repentance. The restitution is good but since she's your business partner you should consider thoroughly before going for it. You can decide to go to her for restitution, tell her everything and ask for forgiveness. Most importantly, tell her that you're going to pay all you've taken from her without her knowing. And this payment you're going to do it gradually. Or you can decide not to go for the restitution, and decide to pay her all you've taken from her gradually. By using your own money to buy goods for her. Continue this until you experience peace within you. After which you may decide to go for the restitution and explain to her why you were bought those goods for her. Whichever way try not lose your relationship and trust with this your business partner. God will give you wisdom. |

Yes restitution is neccesary to complete your repentance so that ur quit can be taken away. If u re familiar wth d story of zaccheus he told Jesus all I have taken unlawfully I restore sevenfold.this an example of restitution. Secondly if u dnt do it, u can't find d boldness to talk to her abt Christ n if she finds out later DAT u did all DAT to her, she will take u as an hypocrite |

Re: Is Restitution Necessary For Repentance? by joesh94: 8:06am On Jan 08, 2017 |
Restitution is different from repentance, repentance is faith towards God and The Lord Jesus while restitution is making wrongs right towards men, when one has believed the lord he has repented but he has to make wrongs right to show Glory to the Lord, nevertheless restitution is not salvation, otherwise it will be salvation by works and not by grace in the saving work of the saviour, one need to seek guidiance from the Holy spirit and matured christian leaders concerning restitutions to be made else, if every wrongs remembered will be restituted , one will not have assurance of salvation and peace with God and such a believer will live a legalistic life.. Hope this helps, God bless |

Yes. Very necessary. |
Re: Is Restitution Necessary For Repentance? by Nobody: 8:38am On Jan 08, 2017 |
restitution and repentance go hand in hand, they re not mutually exclusive events. people must make amends for the harm they did to others . repentance is to God, restitution is to your fellow man. if our so called pastors preached genuine repentance, the scores of politicians who litter their churches would leave, because restitution goes with repentance. |
Re: Is Restitution Necessary For Repentance? by ayindejimmy(m): 8:39am On Jan 08, 2017 |
chibenn: Make your restitution with God and sin no more. if the women is not a genuine born again she may not understand your motives and things could get worst for you. God understand certain situations if your repentance is truly from the heart pray and fast to God for directions because there no wound more deadly than a guilty conscience- for those that have one. |

Eeeehhh! So you were among those touts causing troubles in that market. Thank God for your arrest. It's remaining others. Your mind has told you exactly what to do. You better go and do it and be totally free now. or are you afraid of jail term, ashamed of what people will say, then you have not started. Better face it boldly now and be eternally happy. The spirit that Christ giveth is a bold one that is not afraid of anything, focusing on the solid rock-Jesus(the burden bearer and greatest Savior) If He suffered for what He did not do, you think that your suffering because of what you did will change the face of heaven? Christianity is not a bed of roses. Think twice! |
Re: Is Restitution Necessary For Repentance? by haibe(m): 12:44pm On Jan 08, 2017 |
Innoaca: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1).. Restitution is a jewish law so it was necessary. For Christians after you repent, you are a new creature. Your being saved is does not have anything to do with your personal works (like restitution).. Also contrary to popular beileves about guilt if u dont restitute, the bible says we have no condemnation in christ. @Op however if you are led by the Spirit to restitute, then you must do as He has led you.. but dont let anyone force you to believe any jewish law.. being a Christian is deeper than many people think. |

Re: Is Restitution Necessary For Repentance? by ayindejimmy(m): 2:37pm On Jan 08, 2017 |
chibenn: [i] chibenn: [/i]COPIED!!! THE DOCTRINE OF RESTITUTION Many so called born-again Christians are always go along with a bible scriptures that says, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature and the old things has passed away, forget and never cares of the evil they have done to people in the past They don’t border about the lies they told clearly in the past that brought someone into trouble They don’t border about the serious damages they have caused someone Bible said, you must compare scripture with scripture. You don’t take just a scripture and run with it. Every scripture has it own reason and it needs, every scripture, for the bible said, none of it shall fail for my mouth has said it. The scripture is not alone. There is another scripture that speak of that scripture to make it clear, to show that in the mouth of two or three witnesses. All you think you know, is just a part So you can’t say, the things you did yesterday, you have forgotten, but God has not forgotten. In time of grace, every sins leads to hell (Paul Rika) You forgot but the heart of the offended has not forgotten. When you got born-again, did your face change? Did your stature change? A stolen Car will still remain a stolen car, even if you claim to be a born-again, the fact will still remain that, the money you are enjoying now, was stolen from your office. Zacheus said, I will restore all what I stole from people, because people have started looking down at Jesus, because he was walking with a robber. At that spot, he made necessary restitution and Jesus said, today salvation has come to your house. Why didn’t Jesus tell him, No it’s not necessary, the old has past away Restitution is the evidence that Salvation has come. God commanded it. And it has being in practice for many years even before the Law of Moses. Brethren there is restitution. That cloth you stole from the line, Now that you have given your life to Christ, go back and return it. Return that shoe you stole before is too late. Go and return those things you stole from your office even if you are no more working there, still return Even the things you borrow return them. Even the Bible you borrow, return it. Death will never inform you before coming to take you. Return everything before death comes Ezk33:14 and Judges17:1. The bible you borrowed from your friend hand, A whole Jesus himself and you fail to return it, if you die at that spot, it is hell. to us it is nothing, but to God it is something. In time of grace, every little sin will lead you to hell. People don't know who God is, if they know they will fear him You tell a lied that lead someone into trouble, go back and say the truth; else, Hell is waiting for you That little salt you took from your Neighbor without telling him will lead you to hell if you die without telling her. A box of Matches is not up to 5Naira, but taking two stick without telling your neighbor will lead you to hell (Rev21:27) Those things you stole from your office, even biro, return it now, it's dangerous for your soul You called yourself a man of God, and you cast a curse on someone because he disrespected you, or because he stole away your members, Haven’t you once disrespected God before? Go back and pray for him now. I’m not advising you But commanding you in the name of Jesus You commit adultery with another woman, you must confess your sin to your wife because, you have cheated on her You beat your wife everytime, if you fail to go and beg her before death, hell await you You naked yourself to cause the man who abandoned you, after you have dates each other for many years, he broke your heart and you cause him, you caused her because of that alone, hell is waiting for you, until you bless him/her again, the same way you caused him/her. you woke up 12am in the middle of the night, and naked yourself to swear for him, the same way you must naked yourself to bless him. As a choir master, you commit fornication with one of the chorister, don’t think you can cover up your sin, you must report yourself to your pastor, so that they will punish you now, than the eternal punishment that await you in hell You are a pastor, and you end up committing adultery with a lady that seduces you in your church, don’t cover it up, you must report yourself to the elder of the church and also your wife You are about to get married to an innocent man that knows nothing about your past, and because of your past life, your womb has being destroyed, confess your past to him, if he’s yours he will stay with you and will still marry you The money you borrowed from that man that died two years ago, you must still pay it back to his family or else, hell await you You are yet to pay your wife diory, you are a thief, even if she is now 70yrs old, go and pay her diory, else hell is waiting for you Those of you that beat your wife as if she is in kindergarten, the rod of God is waiting for you if you die without begging her I will teach my husband a lesson, he think he can cheat on me; I will show him that I am a woman. The lord who created woman will show you too that He is God. And what make you think you can divorce your wife for committing adultery? My dear you can’t. if you have divorce and re-marry, hell is waiting for you for the sin of adultery. (Rom7:2-3) Barrenness or no barrenness Children or no children, Witch or no witch, Poverty or no poverty, Adultery or no Adultery the law binding husband and wife is for life. You can’t divorce and remarry if you have done that, hell is waiting for you Mal2:14-16 I hate divorce. Never look for a reason to put away your wife or your husband. SHOULD WE DIVORCE OUR WIFE FOR COMITING ADULTERY? Let he that is without sin be the first to cast the stone, that means God equate Adultery with stealing, lying, anger, bitterness etc. if none of these can separate marriage, then Adultery can’t separate marriage That fowl you stone for eating your food, and accidentally, the foul died in your hand, don’t bury it, go and report yourself to the owner Because you got married to a stingy husband, that shouldn’t give you the reason to steal his money, if you do that, and you fail to restitute, it is hell You women that tied the glory of your husband in a pot, go and loose him now before is too late, else hell will arrest you when you die You cursed your boyfriend because he cheated on you and ran away with your friend, tell me is there no more man in town? What if he marries you and use your head for ritual? Because of your curse at 40 he still remain single, go back and loose him and the lord will forgive you You need to go back and confess your crime to those you have offended and Seek forgiveness from them. Follow peace with all men False property, false result, False certificate, you need restitution in order to be free Men with two wives, you are a thief RESTITUTION IN AREA OF FALSE ACQUISITION : God Also promise to punish Job Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, for acquising Job wrongly, else they do to him a necessary restitution and allow Job to pray for them, his wrath will be on them YOU SPEAK ANY HOW, YOU CHALLENGED ANY HOW, YOU REPORT ANY HOW, You must do something about it before standing before the judgment throne, He that speak careless words, shall stand at the judgment of his words. He shall account for any foul words. Else, Repent now and go back to apologies RESTITUTION IN AREA OF FRAUDULENT MINISTRY: 1Sam12:1-5 Samuel was redy to restitute if He has taken anything in a wrong way from anyone just as Zacheus did. It is expected as a ruler of the church, elder, pastor or any leader of the church to make sure their way is pure in any circumstances, so that your way will be just before the lord. You borrow money from church you fail to pay back You embezzle the church money You committed adultery with a member of the church, you must do restitution, even if you are no more in that church, you must go back RESTITUTION FOR THEFT (Judges 17:1-4) This was a story of a boy Micah who stole the silver of his mother, even when his mother was causing who stole it, the man was still saying amen. But later, after many years, this boy repented and returned the money, it was until then the woman blessed him after he restitute. The boy bear the shame, and confess his sins, yet the boy never knew it’s lord money. Still her mother gave him back the money What did God said concerning this? Ezikiel33:14-16 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; 15, If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be m mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. God is only interested in a serious human. He is ready to take if just only one that will be ready. If God can only remember Noah in his time, then he will only take to his kingdom, the only one ready for his will. So that the one not ready will be cast into the lake of fire, and they will not come to become another satan in heaven. RESTITUTION ON HUMAN STEALING: Solomon restores back the stolen child back to her mother. Any child you bought, any child you stole, restore it back to the owner. It’s different from abduction . you sneak into the hospital to steal that child 2Sam21:1-9. Gibeonite was not among the children of Israel, but God punish the people of Israel for the evil they did to Gibeonite. Because God called you his beloved child, doesn’t mean he hate other people. He is the God of the Jews and the Gentiles. David met the people of Gibeonite to apologies and ask what they can used for restitution, and they requested for the life of Saul family Saul killed them because of his own religious believe, forgotten the covenant they made with them trough Joshua Because God called you his people don’t mean he rejected other people. He is a God of all flesh I will visit iniquity upon the first and second generation even the fourth generation. Saul brought sin upon his generation, and his generation paid for what he owe. God needs a thorough work of righteousness If you are really sorry, then return what you have stolen RESTITUTION ON MAKING PEACE WITH YOUR OPPONENTS: Follow peace and holiness with all men for without no man shall see the lord . even before giving gift to God, you must first restitute, apologies to whosoever you offended that is holding grudge against you, even before your offering can be accepted by the lord.Mat5:21-26. Telling your brother he’s useless, even the devil is still useful in some aspect, despite a whole man created by God Calling your brother fools Beating your wife, and maltreating your workers Disrespecting your Father or Mother, even your Boss Or even calling your brother FOOL habah that’s dangerous. be careful. Mat18:15-18. Even if your brother is angry with you, go to him and tell him his fault, instead of holding grudge or malice against him RESTITUTION ON PERSONAL BELONGING: Personal belonging may be sold for the purpose of carrying out restitution Mat18:23-25: Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made Some will say I want to restitute but I don’t have the money, don’t you have anything to sell? If matters of restitution can be seeing by God like this, are you playing with it? Can God can say sell him and his family to do restitution, are you playing with restitution? If you have money to pay, pay it now else, you will be sold to hell. Moreover, you must humble yourself for that Humility can turn away anger. A wife should use soft language in humility to apologies to his husband Jacob sent gift Bach by batch to Esau when he wanted to do his own restitution. WISDOM IS REQUIRE IN RESTITUTION. He bow when he saw his brother 7 times. Your pride will lead you to destruction. The humility gave this man mercy from his master PAUL MADE A RESTITUTION Act23:3 hen said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? 4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. This is a great apostle appologising after he realized he has spoken rudely to a high preast even if he’s an unbeliever. Many people, including I, before I stopped are fun of speaking rudely against the men of God. They can spit on a pastor face, If an Apostle of Christ can plead for the mistake he made, then who are you? Fear the anointed men of God. If God will defend Saul even in his backsliding, then you have a restitution to made. I remember a time I used to post against men of God, on Naira land, The day I stopped, I wrote an open letter for my mistake. Before going to the lord Restitution made by Onesimus and Philemon. He stole from philemon, but later repented after pthe preaching of Paul, and Paul has to send him back to Philemon because he knew keeping him, will transgress against the word of God. Paul even promise to pay it from his own account. He sent him back to do Restitution 1 Like 1 Share |
