BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 4, Leviticus 5, Leviticus 6, Acts 5, Acts 6, Acts 7
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Deuteronomy 26:2-11 (KJV)
2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there.
3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come unto the country which the Lord sware unto our fathers for to give us.
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God.
5 And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
7 And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
8 And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:
9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God:
11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
One of the prosperity secrets that every believer should strive to learn and use is the first fruit offering. By this biblical principle, every first issue brought forth by your animal, every first egg laid by your layers, the first salary you earn at work and the first profit in your business all belong to God. If you fail to give your first fruit to God, the remaining of your money, profit and possessions will not be sufficient for your use as it should be. In addition, you would have shut the door of prosperity against yourself.

When you give your first fruit, the rest is consecrated and dedicated to the Lord. That is why the Bible says that if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy (Romans 11:16). Here are some reasons why it is important that you give your first fruit offering: (1) It means you are giving your most cherished possession to God. (2) It represents your commitment to God. (3) It shows your priority. (4) Under the law, all first things belong to God and believers are also called firstfruits, So, giving firstfruit shows that you belong to God and are dedicated to Him. (5) It is a lesson on dependence. When you give your all as firstfruit, you learn to depend on God to meet your needs and you will experience His faithfulness. (6) It ensures a future harvest. (7) It represents a part of a whole. (8) It ignites the great and precious promises of God for your life. (9) It provokes supernatural increase, enlargement of your coasts and financial explosion.
Beloved, some people have given their firstfruit and received supernatural healing and deliverance. Some have given theirs and received financial explosion. Some experienced marital breakthrough. For some, the powers behind long-term barrenness in their lives were defeated while others experienced supernatural elevation after giving their first fruit. I encourage you to give your firstfruit with unwavering faith. Your blessings will explode and God will surprise you beyond your expectations, in Jesus’ name.
