Acts 5:1-16
Ananias and Sapphira were in the wonderful revival that God gave to the early church, yet they missed it. They thought that possibly the thing might fail. They wanted to have a reserve for themselves in case it turned out to be a failure.
Many people are like them today. Many make vows to God in times of great crisis in their lives but fail to keep their vows, and in the end they become spiritually bankrupt.
Blessed is the man “ who siears to his own hurt and does not change ” (Ps. 15:4), who keepsthe vow he has made to God, who is willing to lay his all at God’s feet .
The man who does this never becomes a lean soul. God haspromised to ” strengthen [his] bones ” (Isa. 58:11). There is no dry place for such a man. He is always “ fresh and flourishing ”(Ps.92:14), and he becomes stronger and stronger.
It pays to trust God with all and to hold back nothing.I wish I could make you see how great a God and a father we have.Ananias and Sapphira were really doubting God and were questioning whether this work that He had begun would go on. They wanted to receive some glory for selling their property, but because of their lack of faith, they kept part of the proceeds in reserve in case the work of God were to fail.
Many are doubting in the corridors of God’s established promised made to them by either Prophetical decree, dreams aspirations and so on will come to pass or perhaps their season of revival or awakening will emerge as promised.
Let’s have a close look at the below scriptures.
Mal.3.6 – “For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
2Cor.1.20 – For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
Exod.3.6 – Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father–the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.
Exod.3.7 – And the LORD said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
Exod.3.8 – So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
The Egyptians can be replaced by your doubt about Jesus and what He can do for your life.
I charge you to TRUST in Him this morning even as you begin a new week. You are a blessing.
