INFLUENCE OF THE WIND
Read: Acts 5:1-42
The story of deceit of Ananias and Sapphira follows the account in Acts 4:32-35 where the believers shared their property and goods and gave to those in need.
There are consequences to living a life of deceit. Even though you might not get struck down by death, dishonesty does harm many parts of our lives: a marriage, a conscience, a career, faith, etc. We could also list the deaths of intimacy, trust, peace, credibility, and self-respect.
We will be people of influence when we allow ourselves to be influenced by the wind.
That influence results in:
HONESTY
No need to impress others. Our honesty is impressive enough.
COMPASSION
We are moved to make Jesus known in every way we can. 2 Peter 3:9
A POSITIVE SPIRIT
They rejoiced even in their suffering. Do you have the victory?
Let the wind blow. We need what He provides. Honesty, Compassion and a Positive Spirit.
