Restitution in a corrupt church

By


The world has entered into the church and the church has entered the world. There are a lot of  ungodly happening in the churches today. what we call restitution in the bible is when you confess your sin  and return those things you have acquired in an Ungodly way to the rightful owner.

A religion that compels a man to restore things he has stolen and uncover his crimes,commands confidence from men of the world.

When a man goes to give thanks after a  a jail term for an offence committed,especially theft and expresses remorse,God upon  forgiveness,expects such to restore whatever he has stolen to show  complete repentance.

Mr lagbaja steals billions from  government coffers,he goes to jail for a few months he is released because he is a senior public officer whose health is failing...then goes to church, he repents of the sin, after a while,he sits back ,and in luxury,enjoys his loot,his penitence sometimes evidence by huge donations towards religious undertakings.

The scenario is all too familiar.my  question is should the remorse embezzler embrace the doctrine of restitution.?
Restitution follows  genuine repentance.
When Zaccheaus met with Jesus ,he said he would return things he took wrongly. In Nigeria today especially the oxthodox churches they don't believe in restitution.few of the Pentecostal do.
Pentecostal churches that don't believe in restitution are the ones doing ungodly things,am not judging any body but thats a fact...it's emanating from stories we hear every day.many of the people that occupy front sits in churches today are armed robbers.They pay big tithes and offerings.
When you receive # 1 million from a person as tithes every month it becomes difficult to preach against such a fellow.That is why the pattern of preaching in some churches have changed.
'so religious leaders  are silent for selfish reasons.'
Many pastors believe that if they don't speak things that would please their members they will end up with a small congregation.The bible says seek first the kingdom of God and every other things will be add unto you.

Restitution is very important it is a law in the bible that every Christian must follow,but many religious leaders don't preach it talk less returning  wrongfully taken money or any other thing.This is because of the love of money and selfish interest. The word of God says what ever thing you have taken wrongfully you must return it.
Christian leaders must re-orientate themselves.we should not preach the gospel that suits the congregation or interest,because of the level of poverty in the land religious leaders use it to exploit the members, the bible say not everyone that call upon the name of the Lord qualify for his kingdom


In conclusion if... the owner of the money or property cannot be identified or located. The property and what ever has been purchased with the stolen money should be sold and given to an orphanage.On no account should the money be given to a pastor or priest.  I'll gotten wealth is not for pastors or priests.

The bible is the principle guiding Christians the religious leaders must abide by the word of God and speak the truth.
. Life is what we make out of it.

This is not an African love story,however it's a strange love story. Most women hate it when their men stare at other women or show interest in them. But this wife spent four years trying to persuade her husband to get a second wife! See how the story ended.  The unusual family lives in USA. Why would a woman want her man to take in another one? Well, because the girl was HER lover! At first she talked to her man and said that she had some “emptiness” in life and asked his permission to get a female lover.  The woman is 27 and her husband is 28. Then she met 20-year-old Melissa. The girls “fell in love” and she invited her to share sex with her husband. Until the women met, the family seemed to be a pretty happy one with two kids in it.  That’s what they look like now. The wife Diana begged the man to take Melissa as his second wife and let her be the part of their family. After 4 years of discussions Manny eventually agreed to such an unusual ar...

Usally sulfurous gases like dimethyl sulfide and methanethiol . 2.On an average a person passes a liter of gas each day.That is a huge amount. 3.An average healthy person passes gas 14 times a day.If you think it doesn't happen then I must inform you that they are even released when you are asleep. 4.Even the speed of fart have been calculated and that is about 7 miles per hour.Thank God that they are gases not any solid objects, else they would penetrate through the chairs. 5.And here comes the sour truth,the gases are actually flammable.Don't try it at home. 6.Holding your fart doesn't causes any harm to the body but it may cause some pains and cramps. 7.Termites are the animals which produce fart mo...
