And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed. But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the Lord, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him – Numbers 5:5-8

The infallible scriptures, the book of wisdom, the Lord gives you, reveals to you, one distinct way of validating your uncommon wiseness. See them.
1. A wise person like you does everything, small and great from the perspective of eternity at all times and in all things.
Deuteronomy 32:29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Proverbs 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
2. A wise person of your making, gives prominence, priority to the sayings of your gracious and glorious Redeemer.
Knowing fully that doing His will alone guarantees your well deserved blissful eternity.
Mat 7:21 — Mat 7:27 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
Beloved, it is not optional but compulsory and of a necessity that you must belong to the group of wise virgins as contained in the parable of our Lord.
You must buy everything that needed to be bought now through His sufficient grace and avoid buying them with your blood, which shall be the portion of empty professors of religion, when we have gone with our Lord during the dawning rapture.
Mat 25:1 — Mat 25:13 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
This becomes extremely important because every word in the Bible counts and obedience to them in entirety, guarantees your passion to be part of the imminent event of meeting our Lord in the air.
1Th 4:15 — 1Th 4:18 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
Beloved by the virtue of your being biblically wise , give utmost attention to what these three scriptures says.
1. Rejection of any singular word in the Bible shall judge not justify, shall condemn not commend the person at eternity.
Never shall this be your portion in Jesus name.
Jn 12:46 — Jn 12:48 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
2. All scriptures not some of them counts and are used for reproof and corrections here and hereafter .
2Ti 3:16 — 2Ti 3:17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
3. Any of the scriptures removed by disbelieving and disobedience shall remove the name of the person from the book of life and the city of God.
The place Jesus has gone to prepare. Such a person is thrown in to hell.
God forbid this shall never ever be your portion in Jesus name.
Rev 22:18 — Rev 22:19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
Because of all of the above , see the panacea or remedy Jesus gave all believers of all ages, most especially you, on how to avoid the escapable damnable eternal consequences. See it.
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
Praise God Bible days believers and ministers alike were commited to doing what our Lord Jesus Christ commanded, just like you also shall be doing.
Act 20:26 — Act 20:27 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
This is because, doing this alone secures and guarantees the earthly and eternal well-being of the ministers and their congregations.
See this.
1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Since the fall of Adam your great grand father, the Bible says all and that includes you, have sinned and damnable.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold , all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
Now remember this, never ever ever forget.
Most times , almost every time . every singular sin commited are done against God and man.
Think of a child stealing the father’s money.
Think of an unfaithful wife having affairs with other men.
These people sinned against God and also men.
So because of this, they needed to request forgiveness from both God and the human beings they have offended and defrauded.
See what the Bible says about this.
Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
Beloved, it is true that when a penitent sinner confess and forsake these sins to God,
He forgives and forgets and the efficacious precious blood of Jesus cleanses the sins.
Mic 7:18 — Mic 7:19 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
However, the person offended is also feeling hurt. He or she also needs to pardon the son or the wife.
Think about this, if your pastor or your friend helps you to keep the money , you want to use for an important project.
At the time you need the money you approach him and he says he borrowed the money, he will pay you later.
Now you can not do your project and this pastor or your friend buys new car , building a new house, and tells you he will pay you later. Will you be happy?
Then when you accuse this pastor or your friend of injustice, he says he knew it and have prayed to God to forgive him.
God might forgive him, but you, do you forgive him?
This person has denied you of your money and buying new car and building houses?
Of course not. It is because of this, God commanded everyone professing religion, including you to do restitutions, to whoever you have wronged. See it again.
Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
Beloved, see this, let it not be shown you at eternity.
Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
God required you to do the restitutions, you claimed to be past.
Past twenty years ago, You have worked with a company and have retired. You stole their money when you were working there.
God has all the details. Go and do restitutions.
I have heard and seen ministers and churchgoers alike that after their demise a woman will show up and say these also are his children.
Sometimes ago an highly placed man wrote to me , when they needed to do. DNA blood test for clearance because of the American Visa he got.
He discovered three of the children out of four which he has been expending money on, have different blood group.
After so much pressure at the point of killing the wife, she confessed the three children belong to another man.
Think about this. They might be going together to church before this time.
It is because of this, that God requireth that which was past. See it again.
Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
Beloved no doubt you have seen the reason why a sinner needs forgiveness of God and man to have conscience void of offence and secure eternal life.
Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
Beloved don’t be deceived, anyone and everyone who fails to do restitutions have nothing to do with the dawning rapture or living eternally with God. Don’t ever forget this.
It is only restitutions that makes your salvation profession acceptable to God.
This was said by our Lord Jesus Christ, who Himself shall determine where you are going to spend eternity. See it.
Luk 19:8 — Luk 19:9 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
When a man or woman shall commit any sin and he is guilty; Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: – Numbers 5:5-8
You must not get to Him in eternity and here Him say this to you. God forbid.
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Now see the restitutions God commanded to be done and go ahead and do the ones that affects you, because we are going to be in eternity together in Jesus name.

When a person has defrauded somebody and all efforts to locate the person or his or her relatives proved abortive.

Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest? Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

Gen 20:1 — Gen 20:7 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife. But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Gen 20:14 — Gen 20:18 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
Mal 2:14 — Mal 2:16 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Mar 10:10 — Mar 10:12 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Rom 7:2 — Rom 7:3 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
