Bible Reading: Exodus 34:26, Romans 11:16
Memory Verse: For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump isalso holy; and if the root is holy, so arethe branches. Romans 11:16 (NKJV)
The Hebrew word for first fruit is bikkurim—literally translated to “promise to come.” The Israelites saw these first fruits as an investment into their future. God told them that if they brought their first fruits to him, he would bless all that came afterward.
Romans 11:16 (NLT) says, “And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.” Until Abraham offered Isaac as his first fruit offering unto the Lord on Mount Moriah, God’s promise to him was not converted to a covenant (Genesis 22: 1-19).
Furthermore, our elder brother, Jesus Christ is the first fruit offering of God amongst the brethren. Even God had to lay down his first and only begotten child as a token of redemption for the salvation of mankind (1 Corinthians 15: 20, 23).
Your first fruit can be in cash and/in kind. It is your first salary of the year given to God. The first produce of your harvest. Your first fruit is the new salary after your promotion. Your first fruit is the profit made from that new business door God opened for you. Basically, your first fruit is an hallmark of absolute gratitude, total reliance, and first sacrificial offering given to God. It is an ultimate sign of reference to the supreme rulership of God in your affairs. Tap into this sacred dimension and experience uncommon manifestation of God’s glory this Year 2023.
Exodus 22:29 (NKJV), “You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe produce and your juices. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.”
