  Speaker 2: Proverbs three nine and.

  Speaker 1: first fruits of all your crops.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Then your barns will be.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Filled to overflowing in your vats will brim over with
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: new wine. You know, there is a powerful principle woven
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: throughout scripture. Whatever you put first sets the tone for
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: whatever follows. When God has first place in your life.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Not leftovers, not spare change, not what's convenient. There's a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: blessing attached to that order. First fruits were never about
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: equal amounts.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: They were about priority.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: In Biblical times, farmers would bring the first portion of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: their harvest to God before they knew how large the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: rest of the crop would be.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It took faith to do that, y'all.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: They were saying, God, I trust you with what comes next.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And Luke five Peter demonstrated this principle in action. After
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a long, unproductive night of fishing, he was cleaning his nets, tired,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: likely frustrated, ready to go home. Then Jesus ax to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: use his boat to teach the crowds. That boat wasn't
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: just wood, and wrote, it was Peter's livelihood, his income, y'all,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it was his security. Peter could have said not today,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I need to focus on my business. Instead he let
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Jesus step into his boat. That simple act was first fruits.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: He gave God access to his resources before he saw
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the return.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: And what happened next.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: After Jesus finished teaching, he told Peter to cast his
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: nets again. The catch was so large, y'all, that the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: nets began to break.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It was all flow.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It was abundance, more than Peter could handle on his own.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: See here's the key. Peter on the boat, but God
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on the sea. Hello, somebody. When you honor God first,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: whether with your finances, your time, your gifts, or your business,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you're inviting the one who controls the sea to step
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: into your boat. Many people think giving means losing. They
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: think if I release this, I'll have less. But in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: God's kingdom, giving is not losing.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Giving is planting.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: A seed always leaves your hand, but it never leaves
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: your future.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Who When you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Put God first your position, you position yourself for supernatural provision.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You may not see it immediately.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, but you're setting something in motion.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: God knows how to cause opportunities to track you down.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Ask me how I know.
