 THE LAW OF THE FIRST

Proverbs 3:9
“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:”

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 the first portion of your earnings or produce to God demonstrates your acknowledgment of His leadership and provision in your life.

Just as in a business partnership, the senior partner takes the first, so when you give God from the first, before taking anything for yourself, you are demonstrating that He is the leader over your finances. Also, when you give the first fruit, you are declaring that He is the source of all that you have.

This covenant act of honouring God with the first sets the stage for abundance and divine provision in your life (Prov. 3:10), positioning you to lead a life of more than enough, because He will cause your winepresses to burst forth with new wine as you enjoy the grace for plenteousness in 2024. Say Amen to that!
