Hello everyone, it's the beginning of a wonderful week. Happy Sunday to my new friends,readcash families and to a nicknamer, happy Sunday to you all.

I hope we all went to our place of worship, either Christian or Muslim or any other religion to worship our creator. At church today we discussed about restitution,and I'll love to share some things with us. Before I start,I wanna ask a question from us and you can leave your answers I'm the comments section.

What is restitution?

To me restitution is a deed done to make amendments of past wrong doings, restitution is also part of the things we must go through after being born again, restitution means to confess and and restore what has been taken without permission, making restitution is a compulsory process for all believer, whereby you confess your wrong doings to whom you might have hurt, either physically, emotionally, materially or spiritually.

To my questions 👆

What will you do if you were in his shoes?

There was a man who just graduated from University with all possible highest degrees,Bsc, Masters, Doctorate and the likes,after two years of his graduation he met Christ and he got converted to a born again Christian,now to the restitution part. Back in his secondary School,he cheated in his all of his WAEC(West African Examination Council) exams,but all other exams was written without cheating,he wanted to make restitutions,to fully sanctify himself as a true Christian,he went back to the WAEC office and confessed all what he has done in the past in the course of cheating in his WAEC exams, and he was asked to fully forfeit all the certificates he got in the University as the background exam was based on cheating,and he wanted to fulfill all righteousness and make restitutions. Now if it were to be you,what would you do as a true believer of God???

Here's the answer I got from the leaders

They said, restitution is of two categories.

  • If your wrong doing is not a mass offense. Like stealing from mum's purse and other petty sin.

  • If your wrong doing is a mass offense. Like a serial armed robber that has robbed many people or a kidnapper or a rapist that is addicted to raping.

If your wrong doing is not a mass offense.

Here's how you go about it, firstly you pray to God for intervention,guidance and mercy, then you confess to your elders in your place of worship for more guidance. Go to the person you've offended and try to keep them in a very happy mood by getting them gifts and making them smile, that will be the best time to confess to them and tell them you're sorry,you making them happy will first neutralize the anger that is supposed to burn inside them that will be likely to be transferred to you. This process and God intervention will surely help you to make the restitutions necessary without getting beaten to pulp.

If your wrong doing is a mass offense.

First thing you do is to pray to God and seek for mercy from him,pray for his divine intervention and guidance. Let your leader know about your wrong doings and the two of you will pray about it. The only way to make restitutions and confess your sins is by saying what you did in public like in a gathering of brethrens,while sharing testimonies, because you can start to be going to different homes and be telling them you're the one who killed their only son or you're the rapist who raped their only daughter. You can't reach to all of them because your offense is a mass offense. But you pray and ask for forgiveness from God and share your last experience to the public and encourage them not to follow your old lifestyle.

I actually heard if a story whereby after his graduation in the university, he got converted. But he actually cheated during his jamb when he was looking for admission. He went to jamb office and they defied his years of study.

Well, it's good to avoid doing bad 🤧🤧
