Memorize: If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. Exodus 22:1 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Luke 19:8-9 (Nkjv)
[8] Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”

Message:
Restitution is not a new doctrine, it has been in practice for a long time, as seen in the Bible text of today. Restitution is an avenue to make your way right with your fellow man.
It is an act of putting right what was wrongly done, just as Zacchaeus did. It is also the restoration of something stolen or lost to the proper owner.
Restitution is a command in the Bible to enable us to follow peace with all men. This is an important step for every child of God to have a clear conscience.
The act of restitution brings favor from God, speedy answers to prayers, healing, power to do exploits, and fearlessness.
My beloved child, make restitution with people you have quarreled with in the past, and restitute for all the lies you have told to your parents and friends so you can have peace with God and man.
Action Point:
Ask God for help and make restitutions for the wrongs you have done.
1. All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

All to Thee, my blessed savior
I surrender all
2. All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken.
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
3. All to Jesus I surrender.
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
4. All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
