FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\u00a0Who are you in the presence of God or who are you in your world?<\/p>\n

Acts 5:1-11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a believer, what is your identity or character before your world?
\nMan can be deceived but God sees all things and nothing is hidden from God.
\nJust as smoke cannot be separated from a burning fire, deceit and telling lies cannot be separated from the majority that is claiming and quoting the word of God.
\nWho are you in the presence of God or who are you in your world?
\nThe story of Ananias and Sapphira depicts the majority of believer’s skill to deceive or lies for arrival self-ambition, in the name of God.
\nThe book of\u00a0Acts 5:1-2<\/em><\/strong>records,\u00a0\u201cBut a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles\u2019 feet.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Ananias and Sapphira\u2019s sold their possession voluntary without force on them.
\nAnanias and Sapphira acted good of heart but it wrong when evidence of deception and telling lies were revealed. Both of them opened for the devil to fill them with evil’s agenda.
\nAnanias and Sapphira\u2019s lies became a revelation for Peter to respond by speaking, \u201c\u2026Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.\u201d (Acts 5:3-4)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Ananias and Sapphira must have been lying long before it caught them, to expose them before brethren.
\nAre you living as a liar?
\nTelling lies can go for a long period or a short period but it will only take a day for the truth to prevail. Before God, there is no small or big lie. A lie is a lie and the end, therefore, is a sin. Sin offers nothing but death. Both Ananias and Sapphira died instantly.
\nThe word of God reveals that deceitful is sin and will not be accessible to the presence of God. Also, a liar that is attending church regularly is not the evidence of accessing the presence of God.
\nThe book of\u00a0Psalm 101:7-8\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>says,\u00a0\u201cHe who works deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence. Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Claiming to be a believer of God’s word needs to come out of telling lies to move into the truth of God.<\/p>\n
