Acts 5:3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?

How many times have you told a lie this week? I’m not talking about a earth-shattering whopper of a lie, just a little “extension” of the truth…

Isn’t it funny how we categorise lies and give levels of how big a lie one actually is – well, that is not what our bibles teach us.

Ananias and Sapphira did their deed in secret thinking it would still make them look good to the rest of the disciples – but God declared otherwise!

Think before you stretch the truth…

Acts 4:32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

This verse shows us how the believers in Christ had changed their life styles, no longer were they focused on things for themselves but were now opening up their lives to each other in a new way.

As Christians we need to follow Christ’s example and not just say we care but actually mean it and show it.

When Jesus said we should love one another, it was not to be done in our minds or in our hearts but with our whole beings!

Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

When you want strength, guidance, wisdom or just a bit of support, lift up your prayers to God. He is listening and He hears them all!

The disciples found out just how great God can be because they were freed from the oppression of the elders just because of their faith in Christ.

Stand by your faith, lift up your prayers and trust in our all seeing, all powerful God who lived amongst us through Jesus Christ.

He is here with us!
