The General Overseer of the Lord’s Chosen Revival Movement, Pastor Lazaus Muoka, on Tuesday charged faithful to imbibe the act of restitution, for things wrongly acquired.

Muoka gave the charge at the end of a two- day retreat with the theme, “Only God can Do This” held at the church headquarters in Ijesha, Lagos.

Describing sin as a veil that distances people from God, he said that a tradition of restitution would predispose people to lives of freedom spiritually.

According to him, a wrongly acquired thing, be it money, property or anything, will always cry for the original owner.

“As a practical Christian, learn to return ill- gotten things and valuables to the owner; in that respect, the urge of taking things that don’t belong to you will be halted.

“It is forbidden for you to bring ill-gotten proceeds to the altar of God as offering. Refrain from such acts, amend your ways and be saved.

“The fact that people, your colleagues, are stealing with pen in the office does not make it right for you to indulge in it.

“It is your duty as a child of God to live an exemplary life to help change the trend,” he said.

Muoka said that the outpouring of testimonies by members was a sign that God is a God of possibilities, that can answer every of our prayers.

He asked people to do their part by living justly with others, obeying God’s commandment and avoiding sin.

Muoka urged worshippers to learn to move God to bless them by sowing seed of faith, saying that when done in tears, it spurs God to act in accordance with the wish of the sower.

Mr Joseph Udechukwu, whose wife gave birth to twins after eight years of marriage, said that he petitioned God with a seed of faith at the 2022 edition of the programme.

He said that he was a witness to the unlimited power of God.

Udechukwu thanked God for the bundle of blessings and asked faithful to key into God’s grace with faith. (NAN)
