FAITH CAPSULE: Wrongdoing cannot be hidden before God.

Acts 5

Wrongdoing is error. It is an error to violate the word of God and it can be a conscious or unconscious error before God. Wrongdoing (error) is despising the word of God. The bible makes us to realize it that, “He who despises the word will be destroyed…” (Proverbs 13:13)
Have you in any way violated or currently violating the word of God? (I pray that the grace of God will open your eyes to avoid or come out of conscious or unconscious error.)
Before God, there is no excuse for wrongdoing (error). Before God, Adam and Eve committed error by believing the serpent enough to eat against God’s command not to eat from particular tree in the Garden of Eden. They both violated the word of God by their error (a wrongdoing).
When God showed up (just as He will show up on all man) both Adam and Eve attempted to justify their action before God by stating, “Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:12-13) Adam and Eve had no reasonable excuse whatsoever before God for wrongdoing but God placed them under His judge. The error committed by Adam and Eve exposed man to numerous pains today.
Wrongdoing is making choice to lie. Also, to be aware of lying and becoming a part of lying is not an excuse from God’s judgement over wrongdoing. Bible recorded, “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 apostles’ feet.” (Acts 5:1-2) Choice for wrongdoing was the portion of Ananias while Sapphira his wife was aware of lying. With no reasonable excuse, lying and making self-available as a company of lying is a wrongdoing that is not hidden from God. Peter responded to Mr. and Mrs. Ananias and Sapphira’s wrongdoing, “But Peter said, “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?  While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” (Acts 5:3-4) Wrongdoing is not of God. Wrongdoing is an act of sin, a disloyalty before God. Ananias and Sapphira appeared in the presence of gathering before God with heart filled with lie. Unfortunately for Ananias and Sapphira, wrongdoing cannot be hidden before God. For Ananias and Sapphira, untimely terminated was the result of wrongdoing.
Wrongdoing is accountable as despising word of God. Despising the word of God is positioning self for destruction.
Watch and pray and not become a victim of wrongdoing before God.

Prayer point: Ask for grace not to become a victim of conscious or unconscious of wrongdoing.
