3 truths about the first in this passage
1. The first requires a sacrifice
The woman needed that flour, oil and water. To give it first meant it was sacrificial.
What if she hadn’t given him food & water first? - Story would have ended very differently.
- What you need most is on the other side of trusting God first
2. The first activates our faith. Give without seeing the result, your faith is activated.
FEAR IS THE ENEMY OF THE FIRST- you will never give the first if you live in fear.
3. The first blesses the rest.
The Principle of the first: The first has the power to bless the rest.
