2 | firstfruit vs. tithe | Is 1:13 | lmf | 87876 | ||
Firstfruits is the old testament term of the tithe. In the OT the people gave the first born of their herds (the perfect ones) the very best of their first crop harvest. Today we give the first 10percent of all our increase financially. We exchange our time , our talents, our lives basically to our employer for money from that we honor God by giving Him a share of our lives that is used to support His Word being preached throughout the world, paying the bills on the church buildings-salaries etc. Beyond that we give offerings which should be an amount decided in prayer and to whom God wants you to give it and when we give God has promised that He will provide for us more seed to plant, our needs will be met, our desires. But we must always remember that it is God who gives us the power to get wealth and praise and honor Him and continue the spread of the Gospel to all the world. (Deut 8:18). | ||||||
