Proverbs 3:9-10:
“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”
Exodus 23:19A:
“The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God.”
The first fruit is also important. It will make the barn to overflow. First fruit is the first income or breakthrough recorded in a business year.
When my pastor friend launched his first book, He gave all the money realized to God as first fruit, so that he will have a productive mind to write more. It wasn’t easy at all for him to do this, but because he want to practice what the scripture says; he did it.
shalom!
