In ancient times when people
lived off the land, first-fruits
giving called on everyone to
give the first and best of their
harvest to God. You’ll find this
stewardship principle in the
Bible (Deuteronomy 26:1-2).
In Lev 2:12 God told the
Israelites to bring an offering of
first fruits of their grain. Lev 23
specified having the Festival of
First Fruits.

1 Corinthians 15:20
But in fact Christ has been raised from the
dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen

the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to

First-fruits giving is an attitude and act of faith. It reflects our
habit of responding gratefully to God before meeting all of our
other obligations in life.
Quite simply, it means giving to God first, from the top of our
blessings, not from the bottom.
It is the opposite of casual giving that is drawn from what we
have left over, after first taking care of ourselves.
18. INTERNAL

First Fruits is
an OFFERING, an OBLATION,
A THANKSGIVING,
Our own from which we GIVE
to God who wants it,
the amount of which depends
on our generosity and gratefulness!

TITHE is an OBLIGATION,
A REQUIREMENT,
fixed amount
entrusted to us which
WE MUST RETURN BACK to God
who requires it!
Malachi 3: 10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be
food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty,
“and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and
pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough
to store it.

First fruits is what comes from the very beginning.
Tithe is calculated after the harvest when all the
increase has come in.
It represents the ultimate “heart test” for the
believer
Tithing isn’t really giving… it’s returning to the Lord what’s
due to Him.

Oh Lord, We have brought you a token of the first fruits you had given
us from your bounty.
Receive these offerings of thanksgiving, from our hearts. These came
from You, not because we are worthy, but because of Your Love. This is
our expression of gratefulness and thanks to You.
Sanctify these gifts Lord. Put them to good use according to Your
wisdom. Let these be a blessing to others; may Your Name be glorified
by others through these.
May we always rejoice in Your blessings, praise Your unending mercy,
celebrate Your faithfulness and acclaim Your steadfast love. Amen.
