THE POWER OF YOUR OFFERING
Offerings give you access to God; an opportunity to make your request known unto Him. This is clearly seen from today’s scriptural text where Solomon offered to God a sacrifice and set Himself up for an encounter.

RENEW YOUR COVENANT
God loves covenant. Our opening text today highlights the principle of walking with God at a covenant level, which involves connecting oneself to Him by sacrifice.
THE LAW OF THE FIRST
The first fruit is an honour system that places God first. It involves giving God the first part of your income or a particular substance as a sign of honour.
BREAK THE CYCLE OF LACK
The mindset of abundance and provision is a reflection of God’s will for His children. When we faithfully bring in our offerings, tithes, and dedicated things into the house of God, we participate in breaking the cycle of lack and ensuring that His house has more than enough for its work and use.
ACTIVATING THE BLESSING
The blessing we receive is a precious gift from God, but it requires our attention to function in our lives. As believers, we all have the blessing, but it’s our responsibility to service it so that it can function effectively in our lives.
THE VOICE OF YOUR SEED
Our offerings are not just mere material gifts, they are a means of communication and connection with God. The Bible records that when Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings to God, He received a visitation from the Lord thereafter, showing us that our offerings and acts of worship can indeed speak for us before God.
THE HONOUR THAT IS DUE
The first fruit is an honour system that places God first. It involves giving God the first part of your income or a particular substance as a sign of honour. This act of giving God the first portion of your earnings or produce demonstrates your acknowledgment of God’s leadership and provision in your life
INVEST IN YOUR PRAYER LIFE
Prayer is never a waste. A little here and a little there, devoting time to prayer builds up your spirit, and helps you to press into what God has promised in every aspect of your life. Soon your heavens will be filled and it will rain testimonies in your direction. So, do not relent!
REFUSE TO BE STOPPED
Satan understands the power in the prayer of the believer and will stop at nothing to hinder your prayers or to deceive you into stopping. One major way He quenches your prayer life is through guilt, and many believers fall into this trap of the enemy unawares.
PARTNER WITH GOD IN PRAYER
Prayer is not just a religious routine; it is a divine opportunity to partner with God. When we pray, we tap into that same power that created the universe and God’s limitless wisdom to cause a change in our own lives or around us. Such is the magnitude of the effect of prayer.
