Acts 5:2 NKJV
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.
Most times, people make marriage decisions based on who they already are.
Amos 3:3 NKJV
Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
The problem is that both husband and wife have been liars.
They were to sell their possessions and bring the proceeds to the Apostles. They sold their possessions and in cleverness they brought a part of it to God.
They were asked separately, is this all? They lied and eventually got destroyed
The couple had obeyed partially and tried to use lies to finish the job. Partial obedience in this kingdom is the same as full disobedience.
Understand that unity In marriage at everytime should not be a collaborated rebellion against God
It is good to be in sync with your husband or wife but also be Christian enough that the goal unity is to advance the purposes of God’s kingdom and not to stand in its way.
Just like the couple in this text, couples that tell lies together will also be destroyed together.
God is calling us to be kingdom partners and not to be an accomplice. This is entirely the goal of godly marriages.
Ananias kept a part of what he sold and his wife even though she was aware, she was in support.
It is time to review decisions that you have consented to that do not give glory to Jesus and begin to sound a warning. This is how God will come into your family.
You must be that contact person that God will use to begin to restore your family. It is difficult for a family to be saved when they operate by falsehood.
Jesus is calling husband and wives to a collaboration that expands the kingdom!
Till we arrive at the point of the full manifestation of what God has said concerning us, we will continue to share some of these things as we journey.
The Shift Has Come
