Exodus 13:1-2
Scripture reading
Congregation reading of Exodus
Andre Mosebok 13:1-2 Alle førstefødte skal du hellige til meg.
Alt førstefødt hos israelittene, det som åpner morslivet, skal tilhøre meg, enten det er mennesker eller dyr.
Alle førstefødte skal du hellige til meg.
Alt førstefødt hos israelittene, det som åpner morslivet, skal tilhøre meg, enten det er mennesker eller dyr.
Introduction - Priority
This is probably the most important principle in the Christian world.
Because when God is first, everything in your life will come into order.
I mean EVERYTHING!
But when God is not first, everything is out of order.
This is not to say you wouldn´t have any more challenges, am just saying everything falls in order as God intends it.
Exodus 13:1
Exodus 13:2
It is MINE says the Lord.
It is MINE says the Lord.
These are very emphatic words.
The first born belong to God.
Any first borns here today?
I´m going to show you a few more things that belong to God.
And they are very important to understand this to truly enjoy the blessings of God in your life.
Amen.
1.
The firstborn must be sacrificed or redeemed.
Meaning if your animal gives birth, the first is the Lord´s and must be sacrificed, but if the animal is an unclean animal, it must be redeemed with a clean one.
Like a Lamb in place of a Donkey.
Here are some more animals considered unclean:
Carmel, Bat, Tortoise, Vulture, Pig, Snail, Raven, Owl
Bat
Tortoise
Vulture
Pig
Snail
Raven
Owl
What does this mean for you and I? Please answer this question.
Were you born clean or unclean?
We were all born in sin, unclean.
Hallelujah but Jesus was born clean to be sacrificed so you and I can be REDEEMED and made CLEAN!!! Amen.
This is one of the reasons it was impressed on me personally and compelled to teach the importance of TITHING.
This is why it hurts and I kind of feel for people who either speaks negatively and or do not bring their tithe to God.
JESUS IS GOD´S TITHE.
We are to give the tithes first.
He didn´t say give me one of the sheep you don´t like, or the crippled one.
He said give me the first one before you have the nine more, wow!
He didn´t say give me when you have the whole 10, no.
Give the first one…
Your firstfruit!
I don´t think it´s even been practiced anymore by many.
Today people have gathered so much debts they can hardly breathe.
God said give me the first one and the rest will be blessed.
Thats what tithe is.
a.
We give the tithes first before we pay the bills.
This is what actually brings the blessings on our lives because we give in faith.
b.
You don´t pay all your bills and then tithe, no!
You give the first one to God first.
Jesus was God´s tithe.
How?
Because he gave Jesus while we were still sinners.
He didn´t wait to see if we would repent, no he gave Jesus by faith.
This was a demonstration of his faith and love towards us.
What many do not realise is, if you do not tithe, it will still leave your hand anyway.
Either willingly or by force because it does not belong to you, it belongs to the Lord.
So the first portion REDEEMS the REST.
2. THE FIRST FRUITS MUST BE OFFERED

Where do we give our Tithes, first fruits?
The Tithes comes into the house of your God.
It goes to the Church and not a missionary.
It does not go to a Christian ministry even though I believe in Christian ministry and I personally support and give to it, but not my Tithe.
Our Tithe belongs to God.
You do not divide your Tithe and decide where it goes.
You can only give away what is yours and since the Tithe is not yours, you should not give it out or keep it.
You are not Robinhood, stealing from one and giving to another.
You cannot give 5% her and 5% there, it is not scriptural.
The Tithe does not belong to you.
It´s not yours.
You´re only returning it to the Lord.
If I borrowed your car while you were away for a week and when you returned, I said to you, emm!
I have prayed and I felt led to give you this car, here are the keys.
You would look at me and think I am joking right?
Well thats what we do with the Tithes.
An illustration.
Suppose I Pastor Joseph called 3 people and say I will give them 10.000,- each every month for the 3 months I am going to be away but only require that each of the 3 of you give 1000-.
to my wife and family which is called the tenth, meaning Tithe.
Continue by heart.
Jericho was a first fruit.
Joshua 6:
Jericho was first fruit city on the way to the promised land.
God said bring it all into the house of the Lord.
But instead a lot of people struggle.
You know why?
