Firstfruits: Honoring God with Your Wealth
Discover how giving your first and best to God through tithes and offerings brings blessings and deepens your trust in His provision.
📖 Introduction
Finances are a vital part of our daily lives, yet they often bring stress and confusion. The Bible offers timeless principles that help us view money through God's eyes. One of the most profound biblical teachings is the principle of firstfruits — giving God the first and best portion of our income as an act of faith and honor. This goes beyond mere budgeting or charity; it's about recognizing God as the ultimate provider and steward of all we have.
When we bring our tithes and offerings as firstfruits, we acknowledge that everything belongs to God (Psalm 24:1) and that our obedience reflects our trust in His provision. The practice of firstfruits challenges worldly thinking by inviting us to put God first with our resources, not just leftovers after expenses. It is an act of worship, surrender, and gratitude that aligns us with God's heart and purposes.
Over the next seven days, this study will explore the biblical foundations of firstfruits giving, the blessings promised to those who honor God with their wealth, and practical ways to apply this principle today. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, you will be encouraged to grow in faith and stewardship, experiencing the joy and blessing of trusting God with your finances.
