Acts 5:1-3
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.
3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
Sometimes love for something else can blind us to even think that we can hide ourselves from God. Ananias, a man filled with the Holy Spirit, in very short time allowed Satan to fill his heart.
What are we filled with? Love for God or love for other things of the world. Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. (James 4:4)
If we are led by the Spirit, we will always speak the truth. If we have lied to someone, we have lied to God.
Application
If you have lied to someone in the past, let us go and confess to that person and ask for forgiveness. From now on Let us speak only the truth.
