The early church was marked by wholehearted devotion — unity, generosity, honesty, and awe before a holy God.
But the story of Ananias and Sapphira reminds us: God is not interested in partial obedience, spiritual performance, or selective surrender.
God wants the whole heart — not the edited, filtered, Sunday-only version.
Before you listen, take a moment to slow down and prepare:
⸻
🤔 TWO THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
1️⃣ Where am I tempted to appear godly instead of being godly?
Am I more concerned with what people see than what God sees?
2️⃣ What would change if I truly believed that eternity is real and Christ is risen?
Would it loosen my grip on comfort, money, reputation, or control?
⸻
🙏 TWO WAYS TO PRAY
1️⃣ “Lord, expose any half-heartedness in me.”
Ask God to reveal hidden pride, dishonesty, or divided loyalty — and to give you the grace to repent.
2️⃣ “Make me wholehearted like Barnabas.”
Pray for a heart that gladly sacrifices, gives, and serves because Christ is worth more than anything we’d keep back.

🔥 Come ready. Come humbled. Come hungry.
God’s holiness is not casual — and His grace is not cheap.
