“Scriptural Text: Proverbs 3:9-10 (NKJV)
“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”
To honour is to express esteem, admiration and respect for a superior or one with great influence and affluence. In our scriptural text today, we are called to honour the LORD with substance, which means to give Him an offering, especially that which reflects our honour for Him as the Source of all our blessings.
The first fruit offering is giving God the first – the first of your harvest or increase as an acknowledgment that He is the Source of your increase. It is also giving God the best of your increase. The focus of this offering is honour. So, in honouring the Lord with your first fruit, you are to give according to what you consider honour to Him. This may be the income of your first day, first week, first month, first thousand, etc. As long as it is first, then it is first fruit.
God asks for the first because He wants to lead you. Your first fruit brings Him into the first place which is the leadership position and gives Him the right to lead you into new experiences. And when He leads you, plenty is guaranteed, not only your finances, but also in every area of your life.
Therefore, as you honour the Lord with your first fruit today, prepare your barns for a bumper harvest and get ready to experience new things in your finances, and in every area of your life, because indeed, plenty will come!

My God, thank You Lord for your word to me today. Of a truth First Fruit cannot be overemphasized, it is the act of showing honour to the Lord who has supplied us with life and benefits these past months. Granting us unmerited testimonies, helping us in the Ark of Light for All Nations property purchase and building commencement. Giving him everything is not and cannot be enough.
As much as God does not need our money because the cattle upon a thousand hills is his including us, we are the sheep of his pasture but God asks for the first because He wants to lead us. Our first fruit brings Him into the first place which is the leadership position and gives Him the right to lead us into new experiences. And when He leads us, plenty is guaranteed, not only our finances, but also in every area of our lives.
Glorrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy💃💃💃💃
Thank You so much My Prophet Sir ❤️❤️❤️

It is important that when we Honor the Lord our Father with our Firstfruits we should do so generously and NOT grudgingly. One way we can be sure we are giving generously and not grudgingly is by expressing it in our worship and thanksgiving to Him with dancing, singing, and rejoicing!!! I am so very ready!!! No holds barred!!!
Greetings!

Very true because God looks at the heart
God asks for the first because He desires to lead us. By offering our first fruits, we place God in a leadership position and grant Him the authority to guide us into new experiences, and when God leads, abundance is guaranteed not only in finances but also in all areas of life.

I bless the Lord of the Prophet always for such understanding on the mystery of the First …how to approach first fruit and honour to our God. Our prophet is such a man the body of Christ needs to listen to. For many out of personally intrest has misled many in the wrong part especially in this topic but we give Glory to God for such a devotional today
We should honour God with our first fruits no matter our situation of being busy. We must cause ourselves to remember to take out the first and the best for the Lord.
It’s honour to give God our first fruit it truly we expect Him to lead and we expect plenty . God deserves the best why not let him have it . Abel did so we too can.

There are different systems that operate in the kingdom of God to ensure we always stay winning. First fruit is one of them.
When you state that God is your source and the first, the remaining of your substance become whole and blessed.

First fruit deals with Honour
Lagos, NG
One of the major key to success is your first fruit. First fruit means giving God your first income in a new business or a new season. When you give God your first income, it means you are making Him to Lead your finance, and you know when the Lord leads it’s multiple upon multiple breakthrough..

L’honneur est une clé majeure dans le royaume des cieux et est un activateur indéniable de basculement de situations dans le monde spirituel. Honorer Dieu avec ses substances c’est Lui dire qu’il est le premier et que c’est Lui qui dirige cette deuxième moitié de l’année. Merci Jésus pour cette révélation…
