WHAT IS RESTITUTION?
Restitution is an act of putting right what has been done wrongly, restoring what has been taken wrongly and repairing or giving any equivalent to loss or damage. This is a very important step for every believer for a clear conscience and good testimony. The doctrine has been taught at various dispensations.

 

 

 

RESTITUTION AT VARIOUS DISPENSATIONS
Restitution is not a new doctrine. It has been in practice before the law. Moses gave certain laws of restitution – Lev. 6:1-6, Lev 24:21; Num. 5:6-8; Ex. 22:1-5.

 

The doctrine was also confirmed up to the time of the kings and prophets – 2 Sam. 12:1-6; 2 Kgs. 8:1-6 – and to the Church age, right from the time of Jesus Christ and the apostles until now – Lk. 19:8-10; Philem. 1:7-12.

 

 

 

THE BLESSINGS OF RESTITUTION
A heart of restitution has the following to benefit from God:

 

Favour from God – Lk. 2:52.

 

Speedy answers to prayers – Lk. 11:9.

 

Fearlessness – Ps. 27:1.

 

Healing – Ps. 107:20.

 

Anointing for exploits – Acts 10:38.

 
Hearing God from time to time.

 

 

 

Protection – Ps. 105:15.

 

 

Heavenly provisions – Ps. 132:15-16.

 

 

 

CONCLUSION
Restitution is an avenue to make your ways right with your fellow man while salvation makes your ways right to God. One is not complete without the other. Therefore, prayerfully take steps to put right those things you have done wrong.
