FIRST FRUITS
The giving of our first fruits, which is the best of our offering, is the means through which God is released to bless His people. Scripture after scripture shows us that it is God's desire for us to prosper and be in health. The Bible also tells us that whatever we give shall be given back to us good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. (Luke 6:37-39). It teaches us that God will open up the windows of heaven and pour out blessings that our storehouses will not be able to contain. (Malachi 3:10)
It demonstrates our faith in God's power to supply all our needs. We receive peace of mind knowing we are obeying God's Word, and our first fruits also bless the church by enabling it to carry out a greater ministry to the world. If we don't give our first fruits, we rob God! (Malachi 3:8)
