Give It All Acts 5:1-10

INTRODUCTION

MANY TIMES WE UNDERESTIMATE THE COST OF GREATNESS

PEOPLE EASILY SAY, I CAN DO THAT BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE CALLED YOU MAKE THINGS LOOK EASY

THEY MAKE THINGS LOOK SO EASY THAT YOU THINK YOU CAN DO WHAT THEY DO

WHATEVER IT IS........

AND THEN YOU REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT AS EASY AS YOU THOUGHT

ARE YOU CHASING SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN’T DO

THIS IS THE APOSTLE’S TIME OF LEADERSHIP

IT STARTS IN , THERE CAME A SOUND FROM HEAVEN......

THE CHURCH COMES OUT OF THE WOMB AND BEGINS TO OPERATE IN ITS HEAVENLY DIMENSION

BARNABAS IS OPERATING IN SELFLESS GIVING

ANANIAS AND SAPHIRA HAVE LIED TO PETER BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THEY HAVE LIED TO THE HOLY GHOST

THE EARLY CHURCH IS NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT UNITY, THEY ARE OPERATING IN UNITY.

EVERYBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO SELL EVERYTHING AND PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND THEY WOULD ALL HAVE THE SAME STUFF

FOR A TIME, THEY SHARED THEIR GOODS AMONG ONE ANOTHER, IN A WAY THAT DEMONSTRATED THEIR UNITY

ANANIAS AND SAPHIRA HAD A SCHEME GOING, THEY WERE GOING TO HIDE PART OF THE MONEY

WE WILL SAY IT IS ALL BUT WE WILL STILL HAVE SOMETHING IF SO ETHING GOES WRONG

THEY LIED AND GOD KILLED THEM

I DON’T MIND GOD CHASTISING ME BUT KILLING

YOU CAN’T COME BACK FROM A KILLING

3 HOURS LATER TO BE EXACT SHE COMES WITH THE SAME STORY

THE SAME MEN HIDDEN IN THE BACK CAME AND GOT HER BODY

IT IS HARD BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING WHAT GOD DIDN’T WANT

IF THEY ALL HAD THE SAME THING, IT IS COMMUNISM

THE APOSTLE’S ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND WHO THEY ARE IN THE KINGDOM

WHEN GOD GIVES OPPORTUNITY, HE DOESN’T WANT IT TIED UP IN YOUR HISTORY

THEY EXPECTED JESUS TO SET A KINGDOM ON EARTH, NOT REALIZING THAT THE KINGDOM IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK, BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, JOY, AND PEACE IN THE HOLY GHOST
