Today's Topic:
PRESENT YOUR FRUITS TO GOD FIRST

📖Bible Reading:
Leviticus 23:9-14, 22, NLT:-
🖋🖋🖋🖋🖋🖋🖋
9 Then the Lord said to Moses,
10 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you enter the land I am giving you and you harvest its first crops, bring the priest a bundle of grain from the first cutting of your grain harvest.
11 On the day after the Sabbath, the priest will lift it up before the Lord so it may be accepted on your behalf.
12 On that same day you must sacrifice a one-year-old male lamb with no defects as a burnt offering to the Lord.
13 With it you must present a grain offering consisting of four quarts of choice flour moistened with olive oil. It will be a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. You must also offer one quart of wine as a liquid offering.
14 Do not eat any bread or roasted grain or fresh kernels on that day until you bring this offering to your God. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation wherever you live.

22 “When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop. Leave it for the poor and the foreigners living among you. I am the Lord your God.”

🔑 Key Verse:
“You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, until the very day you bring this offering to your Gods. Leviticus 23:14.

The Message:
People sometimes get carried away with the abundance of the things they possess. Some even forget to acknowledge God as the source of all they have. They think that giving to God will reduce the percentage of what they possess. They have forgotten that good and perfect gifts come from the Lord and so He desires the best and the first. this is clearly stated in the Bible. No Israelite was permitted to eat from their farm products until they offered them to God. The instruction was not restricted to the Old Testament times alone, but it is times for all generations. “Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops” (Proverbs 3:9).

Genuine worshippers who have a good relationship with God do not think of what to offer to God after all their needs have been settled. Rather, they put God first. As children of God, God must always be first in everything we do. We must always begin our lives with Him, begin every affair and business with him. We must seek first the kingdom of God. God cannot be in charge of our lives and affairs if He is not number one in our giving. Let us always make God priority in all we do.

Birthday Blessing:
“But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory….”

  • Philippians 4:19

Read Bible Through Passage:
Numbers 22; Psalms 62-63; Isaiah 11-12; James 5.

Food for Thought:
“Becoming a Christian is not making a new life; it is receiving a new life to start with.”
–John Blanchard
