We are walking in today: We will Sow our Firstfruits.
Proverbs 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase. Father thank You for our heritage and we will give You our firstfruits. We will praise You with the fruits of our lips. Firstfruits is defined as the earliest gathered fruits offered to God in acknowledgment of the gift of fruitfulness. Deuteronomy 26:10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God. God I come to give you the firstfruits of our promise land. We have walked by faith into the promise land giving You our first. Genesis 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. Get ready for your hundredfold return for sowing your first seed from your heritage. Psalm 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. The tears that you have sown is now your joy. Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. We will sow in righteousness, as we seek the LORD until He rains His righteousness on us!!! Exodus 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. After giving the Lord of our firstfruits, in the end of the year-- we can celebrate the harvest of our labor in the word. God has been pouring out favor, He gives us the rain in due season. Leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Hallelujah! Praise His name! We are to be fruitful, and the first thing we do is to give an offering of our firstfruits, in love and appreciation!! 1 Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 1 Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. This is the order of the Lord. Hallelujah!!
Are you ready to give Him your firstfruits? Honor the Lord with all thy substance and increase. Those who sowed in tears, shall reap in joy. I know you cried all night long--you may cry through the night, but joy comes in the morning. Do you trust Him? Do you believe Him? Seek Him first! Give up the first cry, Hallelujah! I know we said we will sow our first, but will we really? He is raining down His righteousness on you. Are you thinking about your situation first, before praising ME? He wants your first praise, first thank You, first testimony, and first offerings. We are the seed of Abraham--if we get seed in the ground, the tree will bear fruit with more seed inside--hundred fold increase. Sow your first seed in the house of the Lord. When you wake up, sow your first, thank You Lord for waking me up this morning. When you give God your first--He opens a window to pour out blessings. Give Him your first. Even if you don't see it yet, give God the first: offering, praise, sacrifice. We are seeking You, God. Pour out all of your heart so that God can fill you. First tears--God sacrificed Jesus for us--the firstfruits. In relationships, put God first; on your job, put God first. When the money runs out, favor keeps on spending. Give yourself on the alter--the steps of the righteous man, are ordered by the Lord. We come to give You ourselves, in obedience. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Let those who have ears, let them hear. We come seeking You, Father. No one can bring us out of the situation we are in. God says He wants your first. What is in your heart? First-- praise, first-- thank You, first --to God be the glory, only God can fix it. God wants to know if you are giving Him, your firstfruits? This is a self-check, are you seeking Him first, giving Him first words, first of all of our increase? We must give God our first. This is our testing period. He will give you the desires of your heart, once you give God your first. We get caught up in our jobs, situations and relationships. We come to put You first God. First-- praise, first-- offering, first of everything that we have received from You, we give back to You. Lay aside all that is besetting you and put God first. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. What is in your heart? What are you speaking? Put God first, He is worthy of all of our praise. We will sow our firstfruits.
We write in the blood: We will sow our firstfruits.
Welcome to the overflow...
Give Him your first today. God has been waiting for you to turn things over and put God first. He begins to open some doors, once you put Him first. When you put God first, it shows that you trust Him. Oh what a mighty God we serve! You know that you have been putting jobs and relationships--before God. God is a jealous God, He will have no other god's before Him. Be careful what you make your god. We give you our first this morning on fiveamprayer. Put God first and watch your situation change.
