RCCG House Fellowship Leaders Manual 18 September 2022 LESSON OUTLINE ONE

REPENTANCE INVOLVES RESTITUTION
Restitution is restoring or giving back to another person or people that which we have unjustly taken away. If we have deprived others of some material or anything, we must then return those things back or the value of whatever it is. Either intangible or not, every effort must be made to remove the curse of the wrong upon our he if indeed we have genuinely repented. Proverbs 26:11, Luke 19:9-10, 2 Corinthians 7:10-11.

RCCG House Fellowship Leaders Manual 18 September 2022 LESSON OUTLINE TWO

BENEFITS OF RESTITUTION
Just as anyone who fails to restitute his/her ways before God and even the man who is wronged or offended; there are still blessings for us if we can yield to do the needful and the blessings are however numerous. They include the following:
1. Divine restoration of the things returned. God will return it back and it shall be in form of blessings unto the one restituted.

1. Prayer of blessings unto you, from the person who was wronged and robbed. Judges 17:1-2

2. Total settlement of old accounts. 1 Timothy 5:24

3. It increases peace among men. Romans 12:18.

4. Access to new life. Luke 19:9.

5. Freedom from curse and God’s anger.

ACTIVITY: Let leader reiterates need for instant restitution.

SUMMARY: Restitution ends living under spell and God’s curse.

RCCG House Fellowship Leaders Manual 18 September 2022 CONCLUSION

Undone restitution gives satan chance and opportunity to accuse and oppose you in the presence of God. And you being under curse from the one you have wronged, the problems with which satan will oppose you will just simply and easily come to pass EXCEPT this needful (RESTITUTION) is correctly done. A word is enough for the available wise.
