What is it that you cherished the most in your life?

The things that you cherish are anything or anyone that you think about more often or anything that you spend most of your time with.

It could be your job, your children, your talent, your money and possessions, or it may be yourself.

Whatever it is that you love the most is your treasure.

Where your treasure is your heart is there also and it becomes first in your life (Matthew 6:21).

Your treasure should, therefore, be your sacrificial gift to God.

Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. (Exodus 22:29)

One of the laws of God in the Old Testament is that ylthe Israelites give the first fruit to God.

All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the Lord, them have I given thee. (Numbers 18:13)

Firstfruit means the first of the harvest or produce of the land (Deuteronomy 26:2; Nehemiah 10:35-37).

It also applied to their first child who should be dedicated as holy unto the Lord.

In our dispensation, most churches equate first fruit with monetary gifts.

However, I believe that the most significant first fruit is whatever you value most in your life.

When you give or dedicate your valuable treasures to the Lord, He will in turn make you a peculiar treasure unto Him above all people (Exodus 1:11)

Additionally, the Lord will open His good treasure in heaven to give you seasonal rain on your land.

The Lord will also bless the work of your hands and you will lend or give and never borrow (Deuteronomy 28:12)

Your treasures are your best gifts to God and God deserves the best.

Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase, so your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. (Proverbs 3: 9-10)

Whatever you cherish most in your life give it to the Lord and He will reward you richly.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
