THE SEED
“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.” Ephesians 5:13 (KJV)
Achan’s disobedience in the camp of Israel seemed hidden until the defeat at Ai revealed the truth (Joshua 7). One man’s secret sin became a national setback. Similarly, in the New Testament, Ananias and Sapphira secretly lied about their offering, thinking they could deceive the apostles and the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:1–11). Their hidden disobedience cost them their lives and brought a sobering fear to the early Church. Hidden disobedience doesn’t stay hidden forever; neither will it be forgotten if we don’t deal with it and think it will be forgotten with time, this is a foolish thought; God is not a man who forgets things. Every hidden wrongdoing will either be exposed by God’s mercy or judged by His justice. We may cover our wrongdoings from others, but God sees everything. He’s not out to shame us; He longs to restore us. But restoration begins with honesty. Until we bring it to the light, the weight of hidden sin can delay blessings, hinder progress, and damage relationships. God’s call today is simple: come clean. Bring your disobedience before Him, repent, and receive grace. Don’t let something you’re hiding rob you of the future God has prepared for you.
BIBLE READING: Acts 5:1–11
PRAYER: Lord, search my heart. Help me to expose every hidden disobedience and give me the courage to repent and walk in the light.
