Is it inconsistent for God to punish some of us for lying, bless others, and even instruct someone to lie?

Abraham lied about his wife, and Rahab told the soldiers that the Israel spies had already left, and *yet* they seemed to be blessed. But when Ananias and Sapphira lied about the price of sold property they were executed for it by God. God even told Gideon (in Judges 7:16-22) how to deceive the Midianites, sending them fleeing for their lives. **Is it inconsistent for God to punish some of us for lying, bless others, and even instruct Gideon to deceive the Midianites?**
