ABRAHAM RESTITUTED


Besides restituting in the areas of robbing people, lying concerning certain issues, etc., we need to
also restitute in our dealings with God. This relates to instructions He has given to us. For instance, in Genesis 12:1-3, God made some powerful promises
to Abraham subject to only three conditions. He fulfilled two of the conditions and felt the third one
was unnecessary. In fact, he thought people will call him names for sending away his late brother's son from living with him. By so doing, he mixed his
petrol (gas) with water and everything began to go wrong.
One day, as the problem became
exacerbated and was now affecting peace in his home, he realised what he did and asked Lot to separate from him.
In Genesis 13:14-18, after that restitution, God resumed with him from where he stopped some 13
years earlier. In other words, his refusal to obey the third condition only fixed him on the same spot for that long! Beloved, as long as there is water in your petrol (gas), you might not hear from God. Have you stopped hearing from God and it bothers you?
Check your life for any pending restitution and immediately settle the issue. Have you obeyed God in certain areas but failed to do so in one or more
areas? Go and restitute today so that you can begin to make progress at the rate God intended for you.

If you pay your tithes and offerings and the blessings are not coming, there may be some restitution hiding somewhere which you need to
make. Until his restitution, Abraham's beautiful wife that was a source of his joy became a source of sorrow as he ran from famine. He lost his wife and could have been killed but for God's mercy. If
you are constantly getting into trouble, find out if there is a pending restitution.

Memorise:

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 2 Corinthians 6:3
Read: Genesis 13:14-18
Bible in one year: Ezekiel 46-48

Key point:

If you harbour a pending restitution, your progress will be impeded
