Ananias and Sapphira Lied

Sapphira obeyed Ananias when he told her to lie to the Holy Spirit, she obeyed her husband and yet look what God did!

Acts 5:1-11
"5 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
2 and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
5 And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it.
6 The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.
7 Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price?” And she said, “Yes, that was the price.”
9 Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.”
10 And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things."

Ladies it is your job to speak truth to your husband, if he will not listen stop talking and go to God with the concern. If you speak truth to your husband but do not go to prayer before and after then you have neglected to consult with God for guidance.

Ananias didn't have to give all his money but he wanted to impress others with how much he gave so he lied. Impressing others I am sure became silly when he realized it only caused his death and the death of his wife.

Does anyone else notice there was no "memorial" or "funeral" for Ananias and Sapphira?

Notice too that no one warned Sapphira that her husband had died and that she was under a threat too. They allowed her to do what was really in her heart, that was to lie as she and her husband decided to do. Then she was given the consequences for her lying.

Perhaps if she had influenced her husband not to lie they would have learned how to be honest and both would have lived. Never allow another person to cause you to sin, no matter who that person is.
