***Study
Do you think you can deceive God and escape his discipline?
Can a man hide or pretend to be who he is not before God or man?
Everyone saw God's severe discipline on Ananias and sapphire because they tried to deceive God.
"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap". This is the word of God that we should not be deceived, don't let any man deceive you or leads you astray stands still, stands your ground for God is not mocked, no God can never be mocked for whatever one sows, that will he also reap, just as Ananias and sapphire they choose to sows lie and that they also reap what they sows.
Ask yourself what you are sowing right now is it a good seed or a bad seed remember "whatever one sows, that will he also reap" you reap what you sow not what another person sow but what you sow.
We should never be like Ananias and sapphire who sow a bad seed.
***Conclusion
May God help us not to be like Ananias and sapphire and may he also help us to sow a good seed.
Lie is a sin abstain from it or u bear the consequence just as Ananias and sapphire did.
Thank you and God bless you as you do according to his words.
