Acts 8:18-21
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money
19 and said, "Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
20 Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!
21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

Sometimes it is a temptation to think that if we have money we can do anything. Simon even thought that he can buy Holy Spirit, the gift of God with money.

God decides who to give His gift. We cannot get it unless it is granted by God. We cannot give to anybody unless God decides to give. Holy Spirit, God gives to those who obey Him.

When we think, money can get these then we have no part or share in God's ministry, because our heart is not right with God.

Application

Request Holy Spirit to reveal what areas our heart is not right with God. Pray that God can deliver us from those.
