Today’s Topic: Firstfruits.
Today’s Scripture
Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. Proverbs 3:9–10, NIV
Today’s Word
In Luke 5, Peter let Jesus borrow his boat, which was his business, his source of income. He could have said, “I’m too busy. Go find another boat.” But he was generous in giving his resources to Jesus. This was symbolic of putting God first place, of honoring God with your firstfruits, the first part of your income. If you’re going to see supernatural provision, you have to be a giver. Invite Him into your business and give Him your first fruits.
When you let God use your boat, so to speak, you’re setting yourself up for overflow, for abundance. Most people think, “If I give, I’m going to have less.” No, that’s a seed you’re sowing. You can’t give God something without Him giving you more back in return.
Peter owned the boat, but God owns the sea. God controls the universe. When you let Him use your boat, He’ll cause the fish to find your net. He’ll cause contracts, opportunities, and good breaks to track you down. That’s the way our God is. He’s a net-breaking God.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for being the God of infinite grace who always exceeds my greatest expectations. Thank You that as I give freely of myself and my resources, You will bless me to the point of overflowing. I declare that I dare to believe that You are a net-breaking God. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: It says in Habakkuk, “God has an appointed time to bring the promise to pass and it will not be one second late.” Thoughts will tell you, “You’re falling behind. You’re missing out. God must have forgotten about you.” No, when you come into your appointed time, God will make up for what looks like lost time. God knows how to catapult you ahead. He knows how to take you from the background to the foreground. It looks like it will take years to get well, but with one touch of God’s favor, suddenly it happens. You worry that it will take years for your business to grow, but when you hit that appointed time, suddenly it takes off, suddenly you meet the right person, suddenly your child is back on course. You can’t explain it. It doesn’t make sense. It’s just the goodness of God pushing you into your destiny.
