What is First Fruits?

This concept is founded on the principle of giving the first of your increase to the God that allowed you the ability to get it. Since everything is His, it shouldn’t be a stretch to give a portion.

God calls his people to bring the first yield—the first fruits—from their harvest directly to Him as an offering. This was a display of obedience that was tied to a promise.

If we give our first - the rest will be blessed! This principle of giving shows that we truly trust God to be our source and is the key to increasing our trust with the Lord. 

“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.”

Proverbs 3 : 9 - 10 NLT
