Christian Response to Restitution in the redeemed college of missions, Ede, Osun State

This paper assesses Christian response on restitution in the Redeemed College of Missions, Ede, Osun State. It addresses the fact that the practice of restitution is stated clearly in the Bible; both the old and New Testaments emphasized it, and it is equally one of the beliefs in many Pentecostal Churches. Many contemporary preachers and scholars have also said much about restitution in their sermons and books. However, scholarly attention has not focused thoroughly on why some Christians do not like to hear restitution teaching and why some people see it as a difficult issue. The study employed a survey method to collect detailed information that described the study. The participants are selected trainers and students of the Redeemed College of Missions. The study revealed that most of the respondents have an adequate understanding of restitution. However, many have not restituted because of fear and embarrassment that follows restitution. The study concluded that many Christians do not like to hear restitution teaching or have not made their restitution because of fear and embarrassment. Hence, it was recommended that the Church must not remain silent on the issue of restitution and those who have difficult restitution should be refer to pastoral counselors because an unsettled restitution can leads to lifetime guilt and condemnation.
