Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase, so that you barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. Proverbs 3:9-10

Too many of us are in need because we continue to rob God of what he has given us, the first fruits of our labor. My mother has been tithing for as long as I could remember and it took me an even longer time to begin tithing. Yes, I was paying all my bills and giving God what was left over, but, when I began to fully walk in God’s way, I realized how unfair I had been, for God will never give me what is left over, he will always give me his best. Now, the first thing that comes out of my paycheck is my tithe. If I am getting paid $10 and I am giving the Lord $1, I just tell myself that I am working for $9, and since I have been doing this I always have enough. My brothers and sisters in Christ, “Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase, so that you barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine.” Thank you, Lord!
