God’s Word for Today - 30 Jan 2024
Acts 5:4 KJV — Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 30 Jan 2024
There are many conmen and conwomen mingling with genuine worshippers in various churches globally. They pretend to be fully in consonant with what the assembly has collectively agreed, but have a completely different agenda. That was the case with Ananias and Sapphira, his wife, depicted in today's scripture. They conspired to lie to the congregation of believers regarding some money matters, a mistake that ended fatally for them. Jehovah delivered instant judgement on them to protect the young fellowship of believers and send a clear message to the people that lying will never be tolerated in the Kingdom of God. Many are prone to this awful behaviour in society today. If you are one, you must change now before it is too late for you.
Pray: Heavenly Father, I am ever so sorry for indulging in deception, please have mercy and forgive me. Help me to follow the path of righteousness. #Mok
