“Financial obedience to God’s revealed economic principles in His Word, is how we provide incontestable evidence to our claim that He is absolute MASTER and LORD of our lives. First fruits giving is a tangible indicator of our firm resolve to 'Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness'. God is not ‘first’ in our lives, unless He is also ‘first’ financially. - Randolph Barnwell The principle of first fruits is eternal in nature, having its genesis in the being of God Himself. It has been perpetually practised throughout human history as one of the most courageous acts of financial obedience, denoting complete trust in and honour of God as Provider. Randolph unpacks the underlying architecture of first fruits and answers questions like: • Are first fruits and tithes the same or distinct expressions of giving? • How are first fruits determined in our modern economy? • What is the underlying philosophy governing the principle and practise of first fruits? • What promises attend the practise of first fruits? • Is fruit fruits valid for sons of God today? • What is the interconnectivity between first fruits and the apostolic, the spirit of reformation, spiritual fathering, righteousness, honour, trust and grace? “The first fruits principle is a harbinger, a forerunner embodying eternal principles. This book systematically sets out the Scriptures and their applications for overcoming financial lack. Study the teaching with a sincere heart. By adopting them, you will find success. Those who voluntarily engage the first fruits principleswill enjoy immeasurable grace and provision.” - Thamo Naidoo Randolph Barnwell is the Senior Elder of Gate Ministries Durban Central, an apostolic-prophetic church in Durban, South Africa, and is passionate about the maturation of all people into the fullness of Christ, the facilitation of the accomplishment of the eternal purposes of God, the accurate reflection of God’s image and glory, and the reconciliation of all things in Christ. He fulfils a spiritual fathering function to his own household of faith, as well as providing spiritual oversight to a few churches globally.
