HONOUR GOD WITH YOUR FIRST FRUITS
📖Bible Reading:
Proverbs 3:1-10, NLT:-
🖋🖋🖋🖋🖋🖋🖋
1 My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart.
2 If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying.
3 Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.
4 Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
8 Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.
10 Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.
🔑 Key Verse:
“ Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops .”
- Proverbs 3:9, NIV
The Message:
The book of Proverbs in the Bible is a book of wisdom and instruction. The book is written for a son or daughter who loves wisdom and would do everything to pursue understanding. One of the vital instructions to the wise son is “honour the Lord with your wealth” and “with first fruits of all your labour”. The wealth of a man goes beyond the money he has in hand or bank account. It is the totality of what he possesses. God is not just interested in our money but in everything we possess. A man may not be rich in material possession but full of talents, skills, spiritual gifts which are often more valuable than money. These may produce more result than what money can offer. A true worshipper does not just give God a tithe of his income but he is ready to surrender everything he possesses. The first fruits and not the last should be reserved for God.
Are you among those who give God the remnant after they might have satisfied their needs? God expects us to offer Him the first and the best. The best of our ability, the first of our possessions should be offered to our God. What you offer to God determines His value in your life.
