Restitution

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye

Memory Verse: “And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.” Luke 19:8
Bible Passage: Luke 19:1-10.
Introduction
God’s commands are always in our best interest. Restitution is no exception. It enables us follow peace with all men and allows us to live holy lives. It is an act of putting things right and in good order, so that it will be well with us. It is divine restoration.
What Is Restitution?
RESTITUTION, we reiterate, is the act of putting right what is wrong and repairing or making good any loss. This is a very important step for every believer. The doctrine is common to all dispensations.
Dispensations
Restitution is not a new doctrine. It has been in practice even before the law. Moses gave certain laws of restitution, Lev.6: 1-6, 24:21; Num. 5: 6-8; Ex.22: 1-5. The doctrine was mainstream during the era of the kings and prophets, 2 Sam.12: 1-6; 2 Kgs. 8:1-6 right down to the Church age. Its continued acceptance during the life of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ was unbroken at the dawn of the new testament down the ages till today, Lk. 19:8-10; Philem. 1:7-12.
The Blessings of Restitution
Genuine restitution will ensure:
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.
Protection, Ps.105: 15.
Heavenly provisions, Ps.132: 15-16.
As long as someone is hurting or suffering on account of our wrong acts, or omissions, we will experience delays, setbacks and come across obstacles. The hindrance holding us back is often caused by the wrong we committed even before salvation.
Conclusion
Restitution is an avenue to make your ways right with your fellow man, while salvation makes your ways right with God. One is not complete without the other. You cannot claim to love God and grievously offend man made in His image. This is consistent with the golden rule; Do unto others, as you want others to do unto you. We decree true deliverance and freedom into your life in Jesus name. God bless you.

Divine favour By Pastor Enoch Adeboye   |   11 December 2016   |   4:30 am Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye Memory Verse: “And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women,” Luke 1:28. Bible Passage: Genesis 18:3-24 Introduction Divine favour is being singled out by God for special treatment. It is at His exclusive and unquestionable bidding and pleasure. It means you have somehow found favour with Him against all odds. The natural laws and normal course of events are altered, cancelled or suspended just for you. You will either be pulled out of the line or your line will become unique and different from others. You will either standout or be outstanding. Divine Favour Divine favour is beholding the good side of God’s face and joy – Num.6:25-26. The Lord will make His face glow towards you and His countenance will be favourable towards your cause – Pro.16:15. It will dispel darkness and gloom and give you light, life and joy wrapped up in peace – Ps.30:5. He will affectionately wipe away your tears and give you fresh early morning Dew of Hermon. You will be preferred. It will pour out abundant mercy where required – Ps. 44:3. His unending grace will grant you all round victory – Songs 8:10. Divine Favour changes everything for good and is a great game changer. The rules of the game will be rewritten in your favour. Conditions Divine favour is never random. Always intentional. It is prayed in – Gen. 43:29; Num. 6:24-26; Ps. 31:16; Ps.67:1; Dan.9:17. Disobedience is always a great obstacle. – Ex.19:15; 1Jn. 3:22. We must be observant and discerning. Spiritually sensitive. Moses was called from the burning bush. He stopped. He observed. He listened with rapt attention. The Lord began to speak to him – Ex.3:3-4. Sometimes it is a covenant between the recipient’s forefathers and God – 2 Kings.13:23. Praises can instigate divine favour – Isa. 33:2. God’s presence always accompanies His favour – Jn.12:32; Ps.22:3; Jn.8:29; Acts 2:47. Outcome Your age long foes and adversaries will clamour to sign a peace treaty with you and consummate a covenant of peace. Pro.16:7. Another result of divine favour is mercy. When God favours you, your impudence will be over looked – Gen.18:12-13. The same happened to David – 2 Sam.12:13. Divine favour restores lost grounds and restores lost hope – Jer.32:41-42. Above all, divine favour exalts the saints – Ps.89:17. Conclusion Ask for divine favour now. Pray that the Merciful One will not mark your iniquity. The blood of the Lamb will speak for you today and we will all be beneficiaries of divine favour in the mighty name of Jesus.

Destined to have dominion – Part 1

By Pastor Enoch Adeboye   |   04 December 2016   |   4:18 am

Pastor Enoch Adeboye

All power, authority and control is resident in the only One who has all might. It always has and will always be. The Almighty. The Lord of Hosts. The mighty One in battle. The Ancient of Days. The Holy One of Israel.

When He conceived man in eternity past, at the beginning of time, He, in exercise of His sovereignty, decided to grant man dominion. Full control and authority. In other words, man was made the dominant influence and power wherever he finds himself. You as a child of God and saint should have dominion right now. Everything should be working together for your good and in your best interest. Please believe this to be true. In faith, if in no other way. God said let us make man in our image… and in our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over cattle and over the entire universe. God went ahead and put His intention into full effect. With God there is no difference between His intention, thoughts and acts. And God commanded man to replenish the earth, multiply, be fruitful and subdue it, and have dominion (Genesis 1:26-28). The settled will and intention and plan of God will become operational and effective in your life in the mighty name of Jesus. And it was so. By the word of his mouth and the power of prophetic declaration, whatever man said or called or named came to pass.

Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Psalm 8:6 expressed it thus “…Thou made him to have dominion over the works of thy, hand… and put all things under his feet.

Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

We can be pardoned for thinking that we need a lot of money and influence and power and authority in this world to have dominion. Money, it is said, is an answer to all problems and things. That seems particularly true of some nations or places or cultures. These are places where intelligence, character, values, even righteousness become irrelevant in the face of stupendous wealth regardless of its source or how it was obtained. The operating principle is just the follow the money. Money talks. Powerfully. Authoritatively. Decisively. So, the template is the rich cannot be wrong and the poor cannot be right.

This scenario is too common for comfort. Yet the mind-set is in need of great deliverance and repentance. This is not dominion according to God’s word. It is wickedness, sin, short lived and can be dangerously fatal! Psalms 49:14 says,
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
