Text: Acts.5:-1-2 (KJV)
But a certain man named Ananias and Sapphira his
wife, sold a possession. 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.
Friends, you have a gift and a possession in
you that we need to release for our society is in dear need of it. The gift in
you is for the benefit of many out there. So, do not keep back the gift of God
in you. The Lord has given it to you in a time like this, and we should not
disappoint Him at the time of need. He sees all and that is why we must be careful
to open to his demands of that gift. Remember, what you are hiding is given to
you by the almighty for humanity. Philippians 2:3 Let
nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each
esteem other better than themselves. God
has placed unique gifts inside each of us. Whether it’s the ability to teach,
encourage, create, lead, or serve, He has given us these gifts not just for our
benefit but to bless others and bring glorify to His name. Yet, too often,
fear, doubt, or comparison cause us to hold back what God has entrusted to us.
But God will help us today.
Interestingly,
the scripture today reminds us of Ananias and Sapphira's life whose secret
attitude was disclosed by the Holy Ghost, and they were punished dearly with their
life. Acts 5:3 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. There are a lot of
secret behaviours we need to watch out and amend our ways. There is a talent in
you that we must not keep back because it is for the Master. 1 Tim4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee,
which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the
presbytery. We have a lot of uniqueness in us and I pray
we shall open up for the Lord in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT
1. Father help me to use your
investment in my life for a blessing to others around me today in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Remember nothing is truly secret before God
because He sees all.
