BIBLE READING: Acts 5:1-11
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 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.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
MESSAGE:
Can a whole being hide behind a finger? The answer is No. This is how impossible it is to hide anything from God. He knows everything, including the thoughts of your heart. He knows the motive behind your actions. King Saul, in 1 Samuel 15:13-15, lied about carrying out God’s instructions fully. He thought he could lie to the prophet, but God had already revealed everything to Samuel.
Are you like King Saul? Have you changed your name or mode of dressing to belong to a sect in school? Do you falsify your academic results in order to apper diligent? Have you been lying to your parents about different things? My dear child, remember what happened to Ananias and Sapphira, who lied to the Holy Spirit and died on the spot in today’s Bible reading.
The devil deceives people by telling them that if they speak the truth, they will be penalised for it, and so, people lie or remain mute. However, the truth is the only thing that will eventually set a child of God free. If you are living a life of deception, I implore you today to open up your life to the light of Christ and repent totally.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to live truthfully all the days of my life.

HYMN 9 – Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious,
Thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains
of goodness and love.
3 To all life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee.
4 Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render, O help Us to see:
‘Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.
