First Fruits: A Doctrinal Stone in our Foundation

Adonai is a God of blessing and prosperity. “Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering” (3 John 1:2 TPT). Unfortunately many believers disobey Kingdom principles, resulting in devastating sicknesses and diseases. It also leads to a lack of resources, with open doors for the devourer to steal, kill and destroy. Violating these principles leaves us naked and stripped. This is not what Adonai intends for us. “Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9-10).

We find many concealed Biblical Principles in the Old Testament, which are revealed in the New Testament. A Biblical foundational stone in the Old Testament, regarding firstfruits, are written in the Book of Exodus. “Consecrate to me every firstborn male. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the Israelis, both of humans and of animals, belongs to me” (Exodus 13:2 ISV).

God is saying: “Whatever is first, belongs to Me. It is my property, I’m the owner!” The firstborn belongs to God!

“You are to dedicate to the LORD everything that first opens the womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD. And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem” (Exodus 13:12-13 ISV).

This is a very important doctrinal stone in our foundation to open the heavens for financial blessings. The principle is simple! A clean firstborn animal must be sacrificed to the Lord and an unclean animal must be redeemed by a clean animal. This is the Old Testament doctrinal stone revealed in the New Testament, when the Messiah, as a clean “Lamb”, was born and sacrificed to redeem the unclean human race. When we decide to honor the Lord by putting Him first, also in our finances, we obey a biblical principle to redeem the rest of our income to not be devoured.

This is a must read for all believers who desire to walk in a blessed life and financial freedom. Obeying this principle will set your free!
