Peter said to her, "How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the LORD?
Acts 5:9

Ananias and his wife sold their personal belongings which no one even asked them to do so. They could have kept the money for themselves, after all it’s their property they sold not the church’s nor any of the apostles. They both decided to keep part of the money to themselves. Acts 5:1-2. Many a times, we turn to forget about one of the most important attributes of God, The All-Knowing and Omnipresent God.

Sapphira also died the same death of her husband. Acts 5:10. It is my prayer that we pay attention to the things we agree to and back up to because we will suffer the same consequence.
Declaration: Lord please help me to realize that You are an All-Knowing and Omnipresent God, and also not to look at the kind of relationship I have others and support them in any act they do unless it is in accordance with Your word. Amen.
