The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. Ex. 23:19

Your future success is determined by how you handle your first fruits.

Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. Proverbs 3:9-10

The purpose of a first fruit gift is to put God first.

Seek first the Kingdom of God above all else. Matthew 6:31-33, NLT

Give God First Place in your Life:

• First in priority
• First in quantity

Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matt. 6:31-33

• First in order

When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives.

Give God the First Day of the Week.

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25

Give God the First Hour of the Day.

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. Mark 1:35

If God is first in our life, then He should be first in our schedule and first in amount of time spent.

This ordering of our lives is our Firstfruit Offering.
