Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 1, Day 7: Sunday, 23rd April, 2023. Topic: IS IT GOOD FOR GOD 1?: Firstling Offering.

“3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

This week, we shall be focusing on what we offer to God, are they Good For God? Are they acceptable in His sight? Our anchor scripture says, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” There are seeds that seems good, pleasant and acceptable to man, but are forbidden to God. There are things that seems best to us but are detestable to our Lord and Saviour. 

Cain, the first son given birth to on earth, and his first younger brother, Abel, presented their offering to God. We all know the story very well. Abel’s offering was accepted but that of Cain was rejected  why? The scripture says, “Cain brought of the Fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.” That means, he took any offering, randomly, to offer to God and not the best, but the scripture said, “And Abel, he also brought of the Firstlings Of His Flock and of the fat thereof…” Abel didn’t just give the best of his flocks but the “Firstlings” meaning, the First and best for God. We don’t just give God anyhow offering but the First Of the Best of our resources. We need to put God First in our sacrifice for our offering to be Good in the sight of God. How do you offer your offering? Do you give Him any how offering or the First Fruit of your income? Are we offering a Good Offering or just an Offering? God always want the Best not just any available offering.

Good Day And God Bless you.
