In the early days of the church, there was a man named Ananias and his wife Sapphira. They sold a piece of property and kept some of the money for themselves, but gave the rest to the apostles to distribute to those in need.

However, Ananias decided to lie about the amount of money they had received for the property. He brought some of the money to the apostles, claiming it was the full amount, but he had actually kept back some for himself.

Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, confronted Ananias about his lie, saying, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart and make you lie to the Holy Spirit? You only pretended to give it all, yet you hid back part of the price.”

At that moment, Ananias fell to the ground dead, struck down by God for his dishonesty. His wife Sapphira was unaware of what had happened to her husband when she arrived later that day. When Peter asked her if the amount of money they gave was the full amount, she too lied and said it was.

Peter then rebuked Sapphira, telling her that she too would be judged for her deceitfulness. Just as with Ananias, Sapphira fell down dead at that very moment, struck by the wrath of God.

This event in the early church serves as a warning to all believers about the seriousness of lying and deceitfulness. God sees everything and desires honesty and integrity from His people. The story of Ananias and Sapphira serves as a reminder that we will be held accountable for our actions and words, and that we should always strive to be truthful and faithful to God.
