GodÕs filling

Acts 5:1-11

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostlesÕ feet.What a blatant lie? Are you heading in the same direction? God can not be faked; you can only fail yourself by your faking. Both husband and wife were no strangers to the fellowship of the saints. They knew the role and the rule that was involved but they choose to rule it out. They must have been lying but the lying caught up with them and they were cut off from life. Satan filled their heart and they lied to the Holy Spirit (V.3). Any time the heart of a believer is empty, Satan will fill it up. The bible describes him as a father of lie. Have you been feeding on the word of God enough to avoid SatanÕs filling? To avoid him, there has to be feeding and being fed by the word of God. Your regular few minutesÕ routine of spending time on the scripture will not help. Set yourself up in spending time in the word; ask God to fill every part of you that could be hibernation for the chief of all lies. LORD, have mercy.
