First Fruits 2025: Putting God First in All Things — Part 2 | Pastor Paula White-Cain

Putting God First: The Key to Transforming Your Life in 2025

As we begin this new year, let’s make a commitment to put God first in everything. When we do, we will see radical changes in our lives. Today, we will explore the principle of first fruits through God’s Word—the Bible—line by line, precept by precept. There are many aspects to the concept of first fruits: the season of first fruits, the Feast of First Fruits, the appointed time, and the offering of first fruits. Jesus is the first fruit of many brethren, but the deeper principle of first fruits teaches us that in everything—at all times, in every place, and with every priority—God must come first.

God First in Every Area of Life

God must be first in your marriage, your ministry, your relationships with your children, your finances, and in every single day. When we make God the priority, everything else begins to align. Are you ready to make this change?

Before we dive into the Word, let’s prepare our hearts for worship. My husband, John, is getting ready to lead us in worship, so let’s open our hearts and worship the King of Kings.

Worship and Praise: A Life of Firsts

As we seek God first, we acknowledge that everything belongs to Him. From the very first breath we take to every action we make, we dedicate it all to God. The first fruits represent the beginning of everything that God has given us. As we offer our hearts and lives to God, we honor His presence in every moment, knowing that all firsts belong to Him.

The Power of Giving: Honor God with Your Offerings

As we continue in worship, let us also honor God with our giving. Every time we give, something supernatural happens. Malachi 3 encourages us to bring our tithe into the storehouse, and in the New Testament, Jesus taught more about stewardship and giving than any other subject, second only to God’s love. When we give generously, we prosper.

In 2025, let’s make it our best year yet. You can donate through PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo, and honor God with your offerings. Thank you for being part of this ministry and helping to change the world.

Putting God First: The Foundation of Success

God’s Word is the answer to success in life. As we make New Year’s resolutions, it’s important to not only set goals but to remember that God must be first in every aspect of our lives. Many people will make goals this year, such as focusing on family, career, ministry, finances, and personal health. But the right way to approach it is: God first in everything. God should be first in your marriage, career, ministry, finances, and even in your health goals. This principle of putting God first leads to true success and transformation in every area of life.
