After the story of Ananias and Sapphira the fear of God began to fall upon the church

Sapphira

we see that the apostles did signs and wonders Acts 5:12

Ananias

Acts 5:13

Here it may seem we have a contradiction because of the fallowing verse, but this verse is saying that nobody dare join themselves to them and the them here is referring to the Apostle, we know this from the previous verse.

Read verses 14-16

The power of God was upon the church of Jerusalem , and God was doing great things .

the church of today knows very little of the power that we read about in these previous verses, and we would do well to pray that we as a church body would be able to see God work in us as He did in the days of the apostles.
