RESTITUTION
(Updated on 01 01 2024)
In
the teaching on Spiritual Warfare,
we defined theft as a double sin: Theft itself, and wickedness. It is
clear
from this teaching that when you steal something from somebody, you
deprive
this person of his thing, and you leave the person in distress, in
suffering,
and in big problems. You are thus guilty before God of a sin of
wickedness and
a sin of injustice. If the sin of wickedness can just be confessed like
other
sins, God believes that the sin of injustice must not be limited to
mere
confession, it must be repaired. God, to solve this problem of
injustice, has
established what the Bible calls Restitution.
According
to the Bible, restitution is
the act of returning to the true owner, or to the rightful owners,
something
that was voluntarily stolen, or something that is illegally retained,
or
something found or picked up, but that the owner did not throw away.
The Lord
who had chosen to introduce himself to His people as the God of Justice
had not
failed to give clear instructions as to the management of things stolen
and/or
found. To be sure of doing no more and no less than God has required,
it is
important that we examine the Bible.
2- What does the
Old
Covenant say?
In
the Bible, especially in the Old
Covenant, God demanded the restitution of stolen goods, as well as lost
but
found items as we see in the following passages:
Numbers
5:5-8
"5The Lord said to Moses, 6'Say
to the Israelites:
Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to
the Lord
is guilty 7and must confess the sin they have
committed. They must
make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the
value to
it and give it all to the person they have wronged. 8But
if that
person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the
wrong, the
restitution belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest …"
Leviticus
6:1-5
"1The Lord said to Moses: 2If
anyone sins and is
unfaithful to the Lord by deceiving a neighbour about something
entrusted to
them or left in their care or about something stolen, or if they cheat
their
neighbour, 3or if they find lost property and
lie about it, or if
they swear falsely about any such sin that people may commit - 4when
they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return
what
they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them,
or the
lost property they found, 5or whatever it was
they swore falsely
about. They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to
it and
give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering."
Exodus
22:1-4
"1Whoever steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters
it or sells it
must pay back five head of cattle for the ox and four sheep for the
sheep. …4If
the stolen animal is found alive in their possession - whether ox or
donkey or
sheep - they must pay back double."
3- What does the
New
Covenant say?
The
New Covenant has not come back to
this practice, although Zachaeus voluntarily
decided to repair the damages he had caused to people. This is what we
read in Luke 19:8 "But Zacchaeus stood up and
said to the Lord, look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my
possessions to the
poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back
four times
the amount."
We
have just read what the Bible says
about restitution. Now that we are purifying ourselves and are
preparing
ourselves for the Rapture, we must not neglect anything that can
withhold us at
the last minute. It is also important for us not to allow
overzealousness and
ignorance to push us into many errors. For that reason, a good
understanding of
the notion of restitution is paramount. We will formulate some
essential
questions, the answers of which will help us to understand this subject.
-
Why did the Lord demand restitution?
-
Who was to benefit from it?
-
How was it supposed to be done?
-
Do we still have to apply this
restitution law?
-
What needs to be done now?
All
these questions are important to
us, and their answers will help us to be in order with God regarding
this
issue, so that we should stop living in guilt.
4.1- Why did the
Lord demand
restitution?
It
was to re-establish justice amongst
the people that the Lord instituted the restitution of stolen or found
properties. God's concern was that man should not suffer because his
property
has been snatched from him through theft, tricks, or just by finding
the
property and not returning it to the owner. This is what comes out
clearly from
the passages we have just read.
4.2- Who was to
benefit from
it?
In
the law concerning restitution,
God speaks of our "neighbour". It is obvious that what God calls our
neighbour
is neither an institution, nor a nation, nor an organization, but an
individual.
4.3- How was it
supposed to
be done?
The
question pertaining to how
restitution was to be done has been answered in the passages of Numbers
5:5-8,
Leviticus 6:1-5, Exodus 22:1-4, which we have just read.
4.4- Do we still
have to
apply this restitution law?
The
answer is YES. We still
have to obey this commandment, even if its application should no longer
be the
same as in the past, where it was necessary to return either the whole
object
by adding a fifth, or double of the stolen object, or quadruple, or
quintuple,
depending on the stolen object. The fact that the Lord has chosen not
to
mention it in the New Covenant does not cancel this law, given that
God’s
position regarding justice has not changed.
4.5- What needs to
be done
now?
Firstly:
Endeavour to steal no
more. Stop stealing. Do not put yourself in an embarrassing position
with
regard to this problem of restitution. You know yourself that
restitution is a
very embarrassing act. Avoid stealing in order not to face that kind of
situation.
Secondly:
All that you stole in the
past must leave your home. Let no stolen object be
found in your house,
I say none. Any stolen object that you
keep in your house can always be an open door to satan. You must
therefore
select all such objects. Those that belong to individuals, that is,
physical
persons that you know and who are still alive, you must ask for
forgiveness
from them and give them back their property. If those concerned are no
longer
alive and you happen to know their children, go and give the properties
to
them. However, if there is no child or any close relatives to whom the
objects
can be given, go and give them to a true servant of God, who will know
how to
dispose of them according to the instructions he receives from the Lord.
If
for example, you are
holding land, houses, cars or any other property, which you forcefully
snatched
from the hands of the poor and the weak, or which you confiscated, or
stole, or
obtained by forging the name of the real owner, or used tricks, or
misused your
powers or authority to have them, you must make restitution for
everything to
the owner if he is still alive, or to his family if he is late. Remember
that if you remain in possession of these goods, Hell awaits you. And
if after
your death your family members do not return these goods to the real
owners, it
is also Hell that awaits them. So before you cling to property that
does not
belong to you, know very well that it is in Hell that you will spend
your
eternity.
But
again, if there is nobody in his
family to receive the properties, take them to a true servant of God,
and he
will see what to do with them before the Lord. Do
not take the short cut
of going to the servant of God with things when the rightful owners are
accessible.
In
the case where the objects you
stole from individuals are no longer available but the victims of your
theft
are still there, you must meet the people and ask for forgiveness and
offer to
make restitution to them. If they accept restitution but prefer that
you pay
them in cash, instead of giving them the property itself, you must give
them
what they request. And if they accept to forgive you but refuse
restitution, go
and give the value of the stolen object to God as offering. If the
persons
concerned are no longer alive, restitution shall be done to their
family, if
they had any.
Generally,
during restitution, if your
victims demand for compensation because you had deprived them of their
property, you must accept that condition. And if they say that their
objects
are worn out and insist on having them back in their initial state, you
must
comply with their requirement, for this is normal before God. When you
have to
return stolen objects, it is up to you to pray that the Lord should
soften the
hearts of your victims.
Concerning
objects that you stole from
institutions, organizations, or companies for example, you are not
obliged to
go back to those companies. Go to a true servant of God, confess this
act and
give him all the stolen things. He shall pray for you and offer those
things to
the needy.
5- People not to go
to for
restitution
There
are people to whom it is not
wise to go for restitution, even when they are still alive. This is
particularly the case of sorcerers, marabouts, and any satanist. If you
have
had the misfortune to steal something from a sorcerer, a marabout, or
any
servant of satan, it is dangerous to go back to him for restitution.
Instead,
seek to contact a true servant of God to help you deal with this. Above
all, do
not take the risk of keeping in your possession any item stolen from a
sorcerer
or occultist. If you do, know that your life is in great danger.
6- Who is concerned
by the
restitution?
Any
thief or swindler is concerned by
restitution. Whoever you are, whether you are already a born-again
Christian or
not, if you have been involved in acts of theft, swindling, extortion,
or
corruption, against sole traders or individuals you are concerned by
restitution. So this teaching is not just for born-again Christians. It
concerns everyone. Gentiles too must understand that every
act of
wickedness is a curse. Theft, swindling, extortion,
corruption, and
abuse of any kind are acts of wickedness, and therefore are real
sources of curses
in the lives of all those who are guilty of them.
Some
professions expose those who
practice them to this kind of sin of wickedness. This is the case of
customs
officers, police officers, gendarmes, tax collectors, judges,
magistrates,
lawyers, politicians, managers of public wealth, and all those who are
often
involved in corruption and scheming of all kinds. All of them are under
the
curse, and are concerned by restitution, and must, if they want to be
freed
from the curse that hangs over them, return all that they have either
stolen,
or extorted, or defrauded, or embezzled, etc.
All
those who misuse their powers to
enrich themselves at the expense of their poor victims, are all under
the
curse, and if by misfortune they die without repenting and without
restoring to
their victims the stolen or extorted goods, it is in Hell that they
will
understand that the God who seemed not to be a God of justice, and who
observed
them doing their follies freely, is indeed the God of justice. It is
after
their death that they will understand that justice exists.
So
if you practise any of these professions
that I have just mentioned, or if you practise any other occupation
that allows
you to abuse the weakness of the poor and the weak, or to take
advantage of the
ignorance of the ignorant, know that restitution awaits you. Before you
embark whole-heartedly
on corruption and extortion of the goods of the poor and the weak, keep
in mind
that you will return everything, otherwise you will spend your eternity
in
Hell. And if you are like the Jehovah's Witnesses who do not believe in
Hell,
be stubborn; when you get there, you will believe it.
In
some cases, if parents who have
committed thefts, fraud, and extortion do not make restitution before
they die,
their children will be forced to do so. So if you have wicked and evil
parents
who take pleasure in enriching themselves on the blood of poor innocent
people
and feeding and raising you with the fruit of their wickedness, know
that you
are under a curse, and may be, in some cases, forced to make
restitution for
all that your parents stole, or swindled, or confiscated, or extorted.
6.1- Customs
officers and
tax collectors
Customs
officers and tax collectors
who abuse their functions to swindle and ruin the poor people to whom
they are
supposed to render a normal and free service, are under the curse, and
are all
concerned by restitution. They must return to their victims all that
they have
extorted from them; otherwise, Hell awaits them.
6.2- Unjust judges
and
magistrates
The
wicked judges and magistrates who
allow themselves to be corrupted into giving unjust judgments are under
the
curse, and are all concerned with restitution. They must return to
their
victims all that they have extorted from them; otherwise, Hell awaits
them.
6.3- Police
officers,
gendarmes, and other security agents
Police
officers, gendarmes, and other
security agents, who exploit their position on the roads to defraud and
ruin taxi
drivers, coach or lorry drivers, and other poor little drivers who
struggle to
survive, are under a curse, and are all concerned with restitution.
They must
return to their victims everything they have extorted from them;
otherwise,
Hell awaits them.
6.4- Treacherous
and wicked
lawyers
Lawyers
who allow themselves to be
corrupted by their clients' opponents in order to make their clients
lose their
case, are guilty of a double crime, wickedness and high treason. These
demons will
pay in one way or another, for their heinous crimes. They are all
concerned
with restitution. They must make restitution to their victims for all
that they
have stolen from them and all that they have done to them.
6.5- Those who
abuse their
title, power, or authority
All
those who abuse their title,
power, authority, or high positions to defraud or extort people's
property are
all concerned with restitution. They must return to their victims all
that they
have extorted from them, if they intend to be saved.
6.6- Women who
cheat and
swindle men
Women
who cheat and swindle men and
get financed by them by falsely promising them marriage, and by
pretending to
be their fiancées, are under the curse, and are all concerned by
restitution.
They must return to their victims all that they have extorted from
them, if
they intend to be saved.
6.7- Men who cheat
and
swindle women
Men
who cheat and swindle women and
get financed by them by falsely promising them marriage, and by
pretending to
be their fiancés, are under the curse, and are all concerned by
restitution.
They must return to their victims all that they have extorted from
them, if
they intend to be saved.
6.8- Embezzlers of
public
funds
Contrary
to what I have explained
above by insisting on the fact that it is crimes caused to individuals
that
require restitution, know that there are cases of theft and
embezzlement
concerning governments, which also require restitution. When your act
results
in the misery and suffering of many victims, you do not escape the
wrath and
punishment of God. You are under the curse, and are concerned with
restitution.
You must absolutely return all the stolen public wealth, otherwise Hell
awaits
you. And all your children that you feed and raise with this stolen and
embezzled wealth are all under the curse. You are warned!
6.9- Crooked,
dishonest and
greedy politicians
All
these crooked politicians and
other dishonest and greedy managers of public wealth, who empty the
coffers of
governments to enrich themselves while millions of people perish in
abject
poverty around them, are therefore all under the curse, and are all
concerned
by restitution. They must return to the people all that they have
stolen,
otherwise Hell awaits them. And if you have this kind of demons for
parents,
and live a good life on the blood of the poor, you will not escape. You
are
also warned!
Understand
beloved, whatever we do, we
do it for the Lord and not for men. We are not interested in a show
event; our
desire is not to be seen by men. We want God's approval. For that
reason, we
must always act with common sense, and according to the word of God.
Therefore,
do not imitate the Pharisees who in their hypocrisy appear to be more
righteous
than everyone, and who ask you to do what they themselves are unable to
do, and
end up pushing you into errors to satisfy their ego. These hypocrites
pass
themselves off as overly righteous. Let me give you some examples:
The
first example is that of a young
girl who lived in a European country, and had not yet got her papers.
Her
Pharisee pastor, who claimed to be more righteous than everyone, and
who
believed to be one of the few to practice the teaching on restitution,
told her
she had to make restitution, and that the Bible recommends restitution.
The
sister then asked him what to make restitution for and how. That
Pharisee asked
her to go to the immigration authorities, and tell them that she was
living
illegally in the country.
The
naive sister followed this
abominable advice. In her ignorance, she obeyed. She went and did what
the
sorcerer asked her to do and the immigration officers arrested her on
the spot
and repatriated her to her country without giving her the opportunity
to take
any of her belongings. After spending several years abroad, she was
sent back
home like a thief empty handed.
Let
me tell you that it will be very
easy for a woman like that to curse God in her suffering and
incomprehension.
She will even believe that God had certainly set a trap for her. What
she would
not understand is the fact that she was misled by her Pharisee pastors.
That's
the disadvantage of being in false churches, and to follow ignorant and
blind
pastors who are mostly sorcerers.
The
second example is that of another
Pharisee who said that she cheated to pass an exam and that when she
started
working, God asked her to go and make restitution. She therefore went
to the
authorities to give up her job, saying she had cheated in an exam; and
the
authorities told her they had never found an honest person like her.
Beware of
seduction!
This misinterpretation of the
concept of restitution is very common in some Pentecostal sects that,
not
understanding the word of God, and not having the mind of Christ, think
that it
is by their own righteousness that they will make Heaven. Let us
examine the
following passages: Matthew 5:20 "For
I tell
you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and
the
teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of
Heaven." Ecclesiastes 7:16
"Do not be overrighteous,
neither be overwise -
why destroy
yourself?"
We learn from these passages that
we must seek righteousness, and live righteousness. The Lord expects
our
righteousness to be greater than that of the people of the world. And
He says
in Revelation 22:11 that we who are righteous, must do righteousness
still. It
is therefore clearly established that the Lord is committed to
righteousness.
This is still the same Lord who tells us not to be over-righteous. In
reality,
it is not even possible to be over-righteous. We are not even
righteous, let
alone being over-righteous. What the Lord is saying here is that we
should not
believe in our pride to be more righteous than anyone else, and that we
should
not imitate the Pharisees who seek to practice their righteousness to
be seen
by men. They load people with burdens they themselves cannot bear (Luke
11:46).
We
must not imitate those hypocrites
who are unable to do small things, but claim to do great things.
Observing the
Word of God is beyond them, but they give the impression of being too
righteous
before God. The teaching on restitution is not difficult to understand;
it is
the hypocrites who are too righteous in their own eyes who make it
complicated.
8- Thieves of
Tithes and
Offerings
There
are two categories of thieves of
tithes and offerings: Those the Lord calls thieves because they do not
give
their tithes and offerings, and those who simply take the liberty of
stealing
the tithes and offerings that the Children of God have given. If for
the first
category one can speak of mere theft, or of greed, the second category
goes
beyond the simple sins that a normal child of God can commit, and
reveals
rather an element of discernment. Let us talk about these two
categories.
All
of you children of God who are
guilty of theft before God by choosing not to give tithes or offerings
in the
house of God, understand that theft like other sins, will lead you
straight to
Hell if you do not repent. And repenting here means returning
everything you have
already stolen. Do not play with your salvation. Do not take the risk
of being
overcome by greed, only to find yourself in the fire of Hell for
eternity. If
you are one of those who always find some reason to steal God's money,
know
that you are on the way to Hell. Make an effort to restore everything
you have
already stolen, and stop stealing from God.
If
every time you do not give your
tithes or offerings to God, under the pretext that you have just
borrowed with
the intention of paying back, know that you are thieves in the eyes of
God.
Stop deceiving yourselves. You have no right to use the things of God
without
permission, even if it is to pay back. Stop greed, and stop having a
covetous
look at the things meant for God. Make an effort to quickly return
anything you
have already stolen. If you persist in not returning, and death
surprises you,
Hell has begun for you.
And
all of you agents of satan,
so-called children of God, who defy God by coming into the house of God
to
steal, take this message seriously. Satan has surely convinced you that
Hell
does not exist, and that he will share his reign with you. I want to
remind you
that satan is deceiving you. He has no reign to share with you. It is
Hell that
awaits him, and this famous reign he intends to share with you is the
fire of
Hell. So before following him you would better think again.
Remember
that in order to be forgiven,
if you intend to be forgiven, you must pay back all
the money you have stolen, without a penny less. If you intend
to escape Hell, every penny you have stolen must be repaid. And if you
want to
see before accepting, persist in not paying back, and you will
understand it in
the next few days.
For
you, Children of God, I take this
opportunity to give you an element of discernment. Know that no true
child of
God can take the liberty of going into the house of God to steal. No
true child
of God can afford to steal from the Lord’s coffers. So all these
so-called
children of God or leaders who take the liberty of helping themselves
in the
Lord's coffers because they believe that no one sees them, are either
demons or
demon-possessed. Even if the normal Christian in his moments of
weakness can
steal, none can afford to go to the house of God to steal either the
offerings
of the Children of God or any other object.
9- Thieves of
objects in the
House of God
Whether
it is money or any other
object that you have once stolen in the house of God, remember that you
must
return everything, and ask for your
deliverance, in case you are not a demon. There are only two categories
of
people who can steal in the house of God: Demons and possessed people.
If you
are just possessed, repent quickly, return all that you have stolen,
and ask
for your deliverance.
In
conclusion, remember that
restitution is different from making reparation for all past sins.
Restitution
concerns the sin of theft, and should not be generalized to other sins.
Never
again fall into the trap set for you by these agents of satan who tell
you to
restore old diplomas obtained by cheating, jobs obtained by corruption,
immigration papers obtained by incorrect declarations, etc.
Understand
very well that it is
simply impossible to claim to fix all your past mistakes.
So, trying to
twist the word of God and extending the notion of restitution to the
things
that God has not taught is a trap for those who teach these falsehoods,
and for
those who follow them. By so doing, in the context of
the stolen
and picked up items, you must put restitution into practice
as we have
just studied. And for other sins, you should repair what can still be
repaired,
or what still needs to be repaired.
So
if there are past mistakes that you
can fix without creating other problems, do it. Remember that our goal
is to
escape problems, and avoid any problems. Thus, whenever you can fix a
problem
without creating another one, do it. Do not
especially fall into the trap
of wanting to solve small problems by creating greater ones.
If
you have any questions about this
topic, or if you are concerned about restitution and do not know how to
go
about it, feel free to contact us, and we will help you. And if you are
possessed, if you are still living under the influence of unclean
spirits, if
you are still bend under any kind of curse, and are seeking
deliverance, first
make sure that you do not have a case of restitution to settle in your
life,
before asking the brothers to pray for your deliverance. I recommend
the
teaching entitled "Deliverance",
which you can find at
https://www.mcreveil.org.
Grace
to all who love our Lord Jesus
Christ with an undying love!
Dear brothers and sisters,
If you have run away from fake churches and would like to know what to do, here are the two options available to you:
1- See if around you there are some other children of God who fear God and desire to live according to the Sound Doctrine. If you find any, feel free to join them.
2- If you do not find one and wish to join us, our doors are open to you. The only thing we will ask you to do is to first read all the Teachings that the Lord has given us, and which are on our website www.mcreveil.org, to reassure yourself that they are in conformity with the Bible. If you find them in accordance with the Bible, and are ready to submit to Jesus Christ, and live by the demands of His word, we will gladly welcome you.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you!
