This was the case, when the Holy Spirit revealed Simon the sorcerer’s heart to Simon Peter. Jesus Christ said in the Bible that no one can put a new wine into old bottles: else the new wine will burst the bottles (Mark 2:22). Though his physical appearance blended with the people of God, baptised with them, yet his mind was to take the new discovered power and add it to his magic for more powers. However, he did not let go sorcery which was his former practice and handiwork that was of the devil. This is what Simon the sorcerer did not do until he met with Simon Peter, though Simon the sorcerer was claiming to have surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ like others did in the land of Samaria when Philip preached to them. LESSON INTRODUCTION: What is contest or encounter? This connotes a fight or conflict that must be won and the person must humble himself/herself for God to take over his/her heart.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: The leader can ask one of the members to summarise lesson 22 taught last week.īut Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.ġ4 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:ġ5 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:ġ6 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)ġ7 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.ġ8 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,ġ9 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.Ģ0 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.Ģ1 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.Ģ2 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.Ģ3 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.Ģ4 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. OPENING PRAYER: Father, please help my heart to be right with You always.
