“Giving”: God’s Absolute Blue Print To Prosperity

42
Now [at another time] a man from Baal-shalisha came and
brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves
of barley bread, and fresh ears of grain [in the husk] in his sack.
And Elisha said, “Give it to the people [affected by the famine] so
43
that they may eat.” His servant said, “How am I to set [only]
this before a hundred [hungry] men?” He said, “Give it to the
people so that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat
44
and have some left.’” So he set it before them, and they ate and
left some, in accordance with the word of the Lord. 2 Kings 4:42-
44 Amplified Bible (AMP)

5. It activates the Overflow

9
Honour the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits
10
of all your crops (income); Then your barns will be abundantly
filled and your vats will overflow with new wine.

Proverbs 3:9-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

The Word of God says that when we bring our first fruits to God,
our barns will be abundantly filled. This is a typology to men that
our Bank accounts will receive an overflow.

6. Your households and families shall be blessed

30
The first of all the first fruits of every kind, and every
contribution and offering of every kind, from all your
contributions and offerings, shall belong to the priests. You shall
also give to the priest the first of your coarse meal and bread dough,
so that a blessing may rest on your house.
