Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase, so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. Proverbs 3:9,10
Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase, so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. Proverbs 3:9,10
Every believer knows that giving is God's way of blessing His people and multiplying their gifts. In tithes, offerings and sacrificial giving the church of Jesus Christ is blessed, provisioned and sustained as well as the poor and needy.
First fruits however are not only material gifts, the first and best of the offering, they are also holy seed planted to grow spiritual plants in the garden of God. Jesus is the first fruits of those who have died being the first to be resurrected. Because of His death, burial and resurrection we shall all be raised from the dead and enter life eternal.
Praise God for the sacrifice of Christ for us and for all who follow Him that give us eternal life and for His blessing on our offerings given in faith and trust in Him!
But now Christ is risen from the dead and has become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man comes death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. I Corinthians 15:20-22
