First Things First Devotional Understanding God’s Principle of First Fruits Dear ruben dario,

Walk out Your Faith Philippians 2:12-13 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” This faith walk is day by day living. The more we practice our faith, the greater it becomes. As we step out in faith and see God move on our behalf, our faith increases, so that the next time we are able to believe for greater things. The disciples learned to believe and trust as they walked with Jesus for three years. We too should expect our faith to be developed as we walk with Him. He led me into the knowledge of first fruits step by step as I responded in faith and obedience. Like many revelations that have transformed my life, it has been a progression, more than a suddenly.

Your Faith has Made you Whole A number of times in the Bible we are given an account whereby Jesus told someone that it was their faith that made them whole. In Matthew 9:22, Mark 5:34 and Luke 8:48 it was the woman who had the issue of blood for twelve years. In desperation she made her way through the crowd just to touch the hem of His garment. In my mind, I see her crawling through the throng of people that surrounded Him. When we are desperate we will do most anything. Matthew 15:22-28 gives an account of a woman who in desperation sought out Jesus for healing for her daughter. She persisted even though Jesus shunned her and referred to her as a dog.
