FIRST FRUIT. (Part 3)

FIRST FRUIT. (Part 3). 

 TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 26:1-4.

When you have come into the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance and possess it and live in it.

2 You shall take some of the first of all the produce of the soil which you harvest from the land your God gives you and put it in a basket, and go to the place [the sanctuary] which the Lord your God has chosen as the abiding place for His name [and His Presence].

3 And you shall go to the priest who is in office in those days and say to him, I give thanks this day to the Lord your God that I have come to this land which the Lord swore to our fathers to give to us.

4 And the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the Lord your God.

When a man is able to come to the point where it is no longer a struggle to obey God in issues like first fruit, he is able to break the dominion of lack and poverty over his life and activate the release of God’s blessing over his life.

As recorded in the text for today, when he comes before the man of God he is acknowledging that it is the favour of God that made the job or business possible. When the pastor brings it before the Lord and prays, another blessing is activated upon his life that follows him for the rest of the year.

This serious obedience to God’s divine command entitles this man to become eligible for strange favours. Romans 11:16 makes us to see that obedience to God on the first fruit will secure the rest or other part of the blessing that follows.

Now please remember that God is to get the first and not even the second. If you put him first, then all others will be under His divine covering. It may be tough the first time you try this but soon you will come to see the benefit and awesome blessings that goes with obeying God and then you won’t have to fear or worry.

Beloved, the truth is that there are blessings you cannot walk into until you walk in total obedience to God. A careful study of the lives of those who obeyed God in this area will reveal to you some uncommon grace and glory that is evident in their lives. My family has been benefited mightily in obeying God in first fruit from the year 2004 when we received this divine light and 10 years after we have no regrets but uncommon blessing as strong evidences of God’s faithfulness.

Please do all you can to discipline yourself and allow God to lead you to plan ahead to obey Him in the release of your first fruit and you will begin to see the uncommon blessing activated in your life. The truth is that God has more in store for you than you can ever imagine and your obedience is only to your advantage. Trust God in this area of your life and you will be amazed the glory that will follow.
