Holiness and firstfruits

"Israel was holiness to the LORD, the firstfruits of His increase..." Jeremiah 2.3
Israel had double honour before God: it was the firstfruits and holy. Those who are born of the Spirit of God have the same characteristics: they are the first fruits and the sole property of the Almighty. Therefore, the Holy Spirit guarantees that everyone who is born of God overcomes the world (1 John 5.4).

    Those who have surrender their life 100% to the almighty are the first fruit they are blameless they walk in obedient they don’t not disobey God voice. The holy spirit have guarantees us that every one that is born of the spirit overcome the word, what an honour I pray that God will pour out is spirit upon each and every one.

    Hello Mrs Ester!

    The first fruits are the most important thing we must do in order to show faithfulness, when we do our part God does His!

    How amazing it is to know that you are God's special one? His first? The same way I really value my tithe when I give it is the same way God thinks about me. It's a real honor.

    I couldn't have put it in a better way Michelle, we are God's tithe and the same way we remember Him first with our increase He remembers us and that is incredible to know and an honour. =D

    Those who are born of God surely will overcome the world,because they have a different spirit.
    There is nothing that will impede them from moving forward and conquering for God's glory and Honour.

    If I give 10% to God of all the income that comes to my hands but I do not live a life that honors Him, I am in fact not being a Tither.
