INTRODUCTION
The first fruit offering is to God a way of demonstrating the principle of putting Him first in all things. It shows the act of loving the Lord with all of your heart, soul, and mind. [Matthew 22:32-38]. The first fruit simply refers to the initial or the first harvest of one’s labor and does not necessarily refer to agricultural produce, but whatsoever benefits come to us as a result of our labor or service rendered.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIRST FRUIT AND THE TITHE (LEV 27: 26-27, 30 – 33)

The first fruit is the first of your income and should be the best. You do not remove anything from it, you are to give all of it. The tithe, however, is a tenth of your income. (Ex 34:26; Lev 23: 9-10; Prov 3:9-10 )

While the tithe applied to all forms of produce in the Bible whether of flocks or plants, the first fruit applied also to the first-born child of a man as consecrated unto God. We see portions of the bible where references are made to the first fruit, the firstling or the first-born. There is something holy and special about the first; which is why you find that some had to be given the right of the firstborn ( Exodus 34: 19 – 20, Num 18: 13 – 15) God went after Pharaoh and the Egyptians because Jacob was his firstborn, he was consecrated unto Him. ( Ex 4: 22 – 23)
