First Fruit Is Holy

First Fruit Is Holy
Jesus is the first fruit of God and is holy unto God.
And the human race was made holy before God through Him only.Through the study of the first fruit, we have understood that the first fruit is holy unto the Lord
And whatever is holy God will accept it.
Do you want God to accept you?
Yes!
Say- I am holy!
Put God first in everything
In your studies
In your friendship
In your relationship
In your job
In your finances
In everything whatever you do
Read Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as.
Where is the kingdom of God?
Where we find the rules and regulations of God being followed.
Where can we find the rules and regulations of God being followed?
Say – In me!
 Luke 17:20-21
Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.
Luke 11:20
But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Say- Kingdom of God is among us!
Read Leviticus 23: 14
You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, until the very day you bring this offering to your God. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.
God will truly bless you
Now Read Leviticus 23:20
The priest is to wave the two lambs before the Lord as a wave offering, together with the bread of the firstfruits. They are a sacred offering to the Lord for the priest.
Giving is always a blessing and when it is done as per the word of God definitely it will produce the result accordingly.
Read Rom 11:16
If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Our God’s never-changing and His principles are never changing too.
All his commandments are for our abundance, for our provision
God wants all best possession to happen in our lives
So what we must do?
We must follow the truth of the Word of God
When the “first” of anything is holy to God then as per Rom 11:16 His presence and provision covers the rest of it.
Say - I have God's presence and provision for me and my family!
As per Leviticus 23 the children of Israel were instructed to bring a special offering to the Lord at the start of each harvest season.
January month is our starting season of our harvest of whatever we do.
The offering given out of that portion was called “first-fruits” because it represented the first portion of much more to come. ( first portion of another 11 months, it means God will take care through out)
 Say -Lord, we offer this first portion to you because we know the entire harvest (salary etc.) comes from your hand. ( one day’s salary and tithe, one week’s salary and tithe or one month’s salary, give as per your faith level but with cheerful heart no complains)
Say - We give the first fruits because it all belongs to God.”
Say -This is a wonderful biblical principle that applies to our giving as children of God.
Say - When we offer our gifts to the Lord, we are saying that all we have belongs to him,
And we believe the Lord will provide for all our needs.

First Fruit Is Holy
Jesus is the first fruit of God and is holy unto God.
And the human race was made holy before God through Him only.
Father I pray in Jesus name that the practice of “first fruits” is a way to remind us of the power of God, and of His intimate connection with every part of the world in which we live. As we offer our Firstfruits we ask the presence and provision of God to be in our lives in Jesus name.
Amen

God Has Set You Apart

God has called each one of us to be more than conquerors
God calls us peculiar generation
God calls us royal priests
God calls us heads not the tails
Say- I am set apart
Say – I am head not the tail
If I ask you to make a list about the qualities of yours, you will find yourself unique
Right!
Actually your qualities are result of your confidence
Do you know that confidence is the answer to all our failures
If we take two people, one with less knowledge but high level of confidence and another with more knowledge but low level of confidence.
What do you think  who will have more success?
Definitely the one with more confidence
Why?
Because:
1.   The more confident person will act boldly
2.   The more confident person learns from the past mistakes
3.   The less confident person prefers to be calm and mostly he misses the leadership qualities
But here I have a question
How are we going to become more confident?
Read Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
If you have faith in the word of God you will have confidence
Say- God guides me, he provides me
Say – I am a leader
Read Philippians 4:19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Look at your situation
You may have any type of need, but now remember the word that your God will supply all your need.
Here is your solution. The word which you have heard will create confidence in you
Say – I am creating confidence in me
Say – I am set apart
That means your confidence is the direct cause of your action
That also means, if you are lacking the confidence in doing something, you have to have faith in the word that you can do anything through Christ who strengthens you, and then you need to take an action.
Look at this formula of CARS
It will drive you on the track
Say – I am on my right track at the right time
Everyone likes cars
Right
Here's the formula-
Confidence = Action + Risk + Success
James 2:17
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
We all say we have faith but we don’t take action or we doubt in the word of God
That is why many blessings which are ours remain away from us
Most people murmur and do not achieve success in their lives, because they fear to take action and adopt a life of failure
But today I have come to tell you that success or failure is nothing but mere a state of mind.
Say – failure is the state of mind so is success
Say – I am successful
If you want to be confident, then you have to take an action
Run. Do. Move. Study. Risk. Decide. Choose. Succeed.
Persevere. Go. Believe. Jump. Create. Build. Draw.
Speak. Live. Love. Be. Give. Accept. Write.
Say – I am taking action that’s why I am confident
Say - I am set apart
I Pray for confidence and success in every area of your life
God as we are sharing Jesus we declare that people are ready to accept Jesus and many souls will come in His Kingdom and become His disciples
Amen

How is your hedge of protection?

The Great wall of China is one of the Seven Wonders of the world.
According to the Astronauts the only clear and visible thing from the moon is “The Great Wall of China”. The Great Wall of China was built as a defense against the attacks from enemy. It was built very strong that neither anyone could break down nor climb over it. It was 30 feet high, 18 feet thick, and more than 1,500 miles long. The reason Chinese were defeated because their guards took the bribe and opened the gates of the wall and enemy entered.
Do we not construct the walls around our house for safety?
The response will be “Yes” we all construct strong doors and boundary walls. As it is in natural it is also in spiritual
Do we make boundary walls in spiritual realm?
You will say, yes I make it daily.
Very good!
Do you secure the doors and the gates properly, so that nobody can enter it.
That’s the exact place where we loose.
We make boundary walls but leave the gates unsecured.
Blood of Jesus is a secure boundry for us
But our habits, nature and sinful works make this strong hold weak 
Do you understand what I mean?
Read Job 1:1-5
Job continually was giving sacrificial offering for his family and children so that their sins may be forgiven.
Read Job 1:10
 By this we know that Job’s continuous prayers were reaching the throne of God and God Himself was making a hedge of protection around him and blessing him.

Today search your heart and ask for forgiveness from God, that no sinful thoughts enter in your  heart and break that hedge of protection around your life.
God has given us intercessors.
 In fact we all do intercessory prayers in front of God.
We are not called to pray for self but for others, like this we are called for intercession.
Last week’s prayer was a very powerful prayer which not only makes the hedge of protection but also closes the gates.
Everybody can note this prayer and pray daily loudly.
Say, my wall is stronger than the Great Wall of China and its gates will not allow enemy to enter.
Job was guarding his children and he was always alert for them but one day he allowed the spirit of fear to enter and it became a cause for his loss
Will you be a looser?
NO!
Say- Jesus has made us more than conquerors!
Amen
Pray –
·     Father in Jesus’ name I ask for your forgiveness, once again wash me cleanse me with the precious blood of Jesus. I declare I am a child of God and as per Isaiah 54:17 no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against me in judgment I shall condemn. This is my heritage as a servant of the LORD, and my righteousness is from Him,"
·     The Arrows of darkness assigned against me and my family, go back to your sender in the name of Jesus’ name.

Because Christ dwells in us, we declare that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

When you are leaving that place pray- In Jesus name I command every evil spirit or plan of the devil to leave me and not to follow me now
·         In Jesus name, I cover myself, my vehicle, and road with the blood of Jesus. I bind and break every spirit of accident. I send the angelic force ahead of me to protect me.
Declare –

I Thank you Father that your fire has burned up all darkness and the evil works in my spirit, soul and body
I thank you for filling me with your Holy Spirit
I thank you for giving me the spirit of joy and peace
I praise you and worship you
As per Deuteronomy 9:3 and Luke 10:19 – I know that my God has already destroyed my enemy and has given me the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions.
I return the evil assignment to the sender, sevenfold, and I bind it to them by the Blood of Jesus, and I cut and burn their ungodly cord in JESUS' Name.
As per Exodus 12:3 and 13
Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.
The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
Lamb of God Jesus has been sacrificed for me and my family so I will not allow this assignment or sickness to touch my family.
My prayer for you that God gives you inner sight, to see and discern the spiritual realm and  no weapon formed against you shall prosper. I break and nullify any kind of witchcraft or assignment done over you or your family. Receive your deliverance from the strong man this very moment. In Jesus Name!
Amen

“Success is state of mind”.

“Success is state of mind”.
It is your attitude which determines your thinking. If you have an attitude of achieving success in your life, you will discipline your mind and body. That is the beginning to be an over comer
In Revelation 12:11, it says they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimonies
Who is this Lamb?
Read John 1:29, …….”Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world”
Say- My sin penalty has been paid
Say – I am an over-comer
Sometime back, I read a story which talked about a poor old man who became rich. During that time cars were invented and only very rich people could afford it. To show his wealth he also purchased a car for himself and nice suit with hat. Every morning he would go out in his car greet people and come back without blowing his horn even once.
Do you want to know why?
Because he had two horses pulling his car the whole day
Do you want to know why were horses pulling his car?
Because he never knew how to drive the car
Most of the time we are also like him, who have God given potential of not two horses but of hundreds of horses in us, but we do not know how to operate in the realm of blessing
Say – I have potential
Say – I will operate in the realm of blessing
I am taking you bit further it will open your eyes to recognize your worth and the ability God has given you as a child of God
Read Luke 16:19-26,
“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’
“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
Notice few things here
1. The story teller is no one but Jesus, and He will sit on the judgment seat and judge us in the day of judgment
2. A judge has every authority to forgive or to punish, Jesus came to forgive you
3. Ask Him and He will forgive you all your sins
4. The rich-man was not right before God but was well focused in his goals that is why he gained success in this world but he missed his eternity in heaven
5. It means rich-man was sinning
6. Lazarus the beggar had all the potential to have everything on this earth as well in heaven but he missed the prosperity on the earth due to his ignorance
Read Hosea 4:6, it says “My people are destroyed from the lack of knowledge”
7. It means Lazarus was lazy and ignorant of all what God had already given to him
8. He was sick and not able to work, that’s why he was relying on the food which was thrown from rich-man’s house
9. He was unaware of his healing
But see the end result of these two men’s life, one who lived richly reached to eternal torment and the beggar in the heaven
Say – I will not be destroyed
Say – I have knowledge
Many a times as a youth I have questioned God
“Why do you allow the bad men to flourish?” The same way as Jeremiah cried unto The Lord
Jeremiah 12:1
You are always righteous, O LORD, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?
As I began to grow in Lord I understood 3 principles, which helped me to know, why it happens?
1. I learned as per Genesis 3:17, ……”Cursed is the ground because of you, through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life” Every man has to work hard to get prosperity
2. I learned as per Deuteronomy 8:17 and18, “….. my power and the strength of my hands have produce this wealth for me But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth,…”
3. I learned that one can become prosperous when he gets the inheritance from his father
To make it easier I will say one can be prosperous
1. Through his hard work
2. Through hard work and favor of God
3. Through transfer of the property from father to son etc.
4. Through cheating also
I will ask you, “Which one is the best prosperity?”
Through hard work and favor of God!!
Say – I work hard every day
Say – I have favor of God always
Today I am here to encourage all of you and tell you whatever may be your situation but there is always hope in Christ, come out of your situation and tap into your God given ability and allow His Holy Spirit to operate in your life to make it successful in every area of your life
God wants us to be knowledgeable
God wants us to be prosperous
God wants us to be in heaven not to hell
God wants us to be sin free
God wants us to be healed
Stand at your feet and talk to Him
Ask Him to forgive you and release His favor upon you
Amen
