INTRODUCTION:
When God instituted the first fruit ceremony, Israel was still
wandering in the wilderness: they had no land, grew no crops,
they had no home, just the PROMISE. It was observed in faith
that God would lead the people to the land He had promised.
The celebrant brings his TITHES AND FIRSTFRUITS to the priest. On his way he will
sing “I was glad when they said to me let us go into the house of the Lord.
He would come before the priest to preach – to declare his position – that God had kept
His promise. His offering was a declaration of his accurate position and God’s wonderful
faithfulness.
The celebrant declared:
· He had not eaten his tithe in mourning(during difficult times, not spent on medical bills
or other living expenses)
· He had not used it for unclean purposes – paid i.e. water and lights, rent, telephone bills
etc. Prefer to stay in the dark.
· He had not used it to pay for funeral expenses or to waste it upon things of this world
that has no life.
This act proclaimed the Lord to be your God and your source.
After this act God proclaimed that you were his special people.
