BLESSING OF THE FIRST FRUIT OFFERINGS
The mosaic law required the Israelites to bring to the house of
God, the first fruit of the land. Exodus 23:19, the first fruit of thy land
thou shall bring into the house of the lord thy God (numb 18:12) All the best
of the oil, all the best of the wine, the first fruit of them while they shall
offer unto the lord, them have I given thee. (Exodus 23:19, Prob 3:9-10)
There is lot of ignorance in Christendom today on the subject of
first fruit. Most Christians know next to nothing about first fruit. Few pastors
teach on it. It was started with Abel Gen.4:4. Abel, he also brought of the
first thing of his flock of the fat thereof. And the lord has respect unto Abel
and his offering (1cor. 15:20) God also gave his son as the first fruit of
resurrection. God knew the principle of the first fruit and applied it.
