Proverbs 3:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
God’s faithfulness is beyond words!
As we honor Him first with all that we have, we will not have to worry about what we need. Those things we always worry about will be taken care of.
Why do so many fret?
Two reasons; they are not honoring Him with their firstfruits, or they are not trusting Him due to their lack of knowledge about this scripture and others that promise He will supply our needs.
It can be very hard to take this verse seriously if we have not previously committed to giving to Him of our firstfruits.
It’s a big step, and it takes faith and discipline to keep walking in it. We can’t just do it for a short time and then give up if things get hard.
It must be viewed as a commitment that we make; it is a one-on-One covenant with Him.
Many years ago, we got a Holy Spirit-breathed revelation about this Biblical truth.
Before that, we never knew the importance and the power of it. And we were always struggling to make ends meet.
The day we finally got it, we fully understood it and we repented for not doing it sooner. We made a covenant with God, and we never looked back. We never stopped, no matter how bad things would look at times.
It was eye-opening for us to witness the things God would do to help us, even when we were the ones that got ourselves in a mess.
He was there to help us get past it. He did not point fingers. He simply helped us make better choices and learn from the wrong ones we had made.
He is faithful, my friends, like none other.
He will help you through the most difficult times and see you through to the end as long as you continue to do your part.
Honor Him first with your firstfruits, and do it wholeheartedly. You will never regret it!
Amen.
