Topic: IS IT GOOD FOR GOD 4?: Unfaithful Offering
MEMORY VERSE:
Proverbs 14:12.
“12. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
BIBLE READING:
Acts 5:1-2.
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.”
We Christians, in the name of giving to God, do attract the anger of God upon ourselves. Our givings are not acceptable to God because of our attitude and actions before the offerings were released. Our God still remains Faithful and everything that has to do with Him must be done Faithfully.
Ananias and Sapphire were willing to give to God. They saw others selling their properties and giving the proceed to God, so they decided to do the same. They sold their property and intended to give to God, but made a mistake. God doesn’t require you to give all your resources but according to your ability. You are not to please men with your giving but God. They would have agreed to give God some percentage of the proceed instead of telling Apostle Peter that was all their proceed. Because they gave unfaithfully it led to their death. When you are giving to God be Faithful with your seeds, don’t do beyond your ability, don’t give to gain the praise of men or to please men, let your focus be to God, not according to what others are giving. It’s better not to give than to give and attract the wrath of God because of your seed. Be faithful in your giving.
Good Day And God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
