DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE FIRST FRUIT?
HAVE YOU GIVEN TO GOD YOUR FIRST FRUIT OF THE YEAR? EXODUS: 13
The first fruit offering honors God and gives you the power and anointing to get wealth according to the word of God. The bible references those first fruits or first things or devoted things no less than 32 times.
“First fruits” is not the same as tithe. Tithe is the first tenth. First fruits is the whole root, the foundation.
“For if the first fruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.” Romans 11:16 GNB
When you offer God your first fruits and bring Him the fullness of the first, you establish the foundation of the “whole thing”; your entire life will be holy and blessed.
To biblically position yourself for your first fruits blessing in 2006, give your best to the Lord’s work today as your first fruits offering.
