Faith Capsule: Be a true believer and not to be a victim of lying.

Acts 5:1-11

Abiding in the word of God is the evidence of knowing the truth. Knowing the truth is not to be a liar. With lying in place among believers there will be no one heart, no one soul and that makes self-interest to become believer’s identities. When believers are gathering with one heart, one soul and no self-interest it becomes a gathering with all things in common. Acts 4:32 buttressed, “Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.”
Among your believer’s fellowship, does one heart, one soul and self-interest exist?
Believers that are not truthful with one heart, one soul are self-seeking believers. Evidently, self-seeking believers does not have all things in common.

It is important to know that lying and not being truthful makes believer not to be filled by spirit of God but filled by Satan to be a liar. The bible recorded about Ananias and Saphira’s inability to fellowship with one heart and one soul but in selfishness. In the book of Acts 5:1-11, Ananias and Saphira’s lying and deceiving brethren was pointed out by Peter when he stated, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? (Acts 5:3) Ananias heard the word from Peter and breathed his last breath. Just as it happened to Ananias so it happened to Sapphira. Lying could not deliver them from sudden death. Satan is the author of lying that causes lack of one heart and one soul which deny great of power that witness the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
Be a true believer and not to be a victim of lying.
