Feast of the

Epiphany of the Lord

“Where is the newborn king of
the Jews? We saw his star …”
Mt. 2:1
 Isaiah 60 Heralds the
Dawning of Divine Glory.
 …You shall take some
first fruits of the various
products of the soil
 And having set them
before the Lord…

you shall bow down in His

presence. Then you and your
family… shall make merry over
all these good things which the
Lord, your God, has given you.
GOD’S MESSAGE REVEALED:
He Called for “FIRST FRUITS”
 In the year 2003, the CFC
International Council assembled at a
retreat house in Tagaytay for its
yearly planning.

A prophecy came: “I want to start a

TRADITION . . . a TRADITION of ‘FIRST
FRUITS’. At the start of each year, the
very first ECG gathering.
should be consecrated to Me. It must
be a most solemn and sacred
occasion . . . worthy of my Holiness
 This is how the
consecration must
be done
You are to prepare an altar.

Worship
Me. Sing
solemn
songs.
 Then
one by one,
everyone present
including children,
without exception,
should stand in
line.
 Then offer your FIRST FRUITS,
a symbolic amount of money,
equivalent to how much of your heart
you offer to Me
ATTACHED TO HIS MESSAGE:
A solemn promise (as promised in Isaiah 60)
“My
arms are Honor Me with
raised to your FIRST
bless.” FRUITS
solemnly,
joyfully, and
willingly.
 Then you will see . . .
if I don’t open the
windows of heaven
and pour down upon
you in abundance all
kinds of good things.”
 This OFFERING OF
FIRST FRUITS is a
symbolic act on your
part - individually, and
as a community.
 The money
that you will
offer Me
stands for the
following
blessings:
 Good Health
 Talent, skills and capabilities
 Work, career, profession, and
livelihood.
 Community
 Protection
 Mastery of hearts
 ANOTHER
MESSAGE REVEALED:
A continuation of God’s
faithfulness and solemn
promise in 2005.
 Pray for the following:

o Fruit of Humility
o A gift of the Spirit
o Joy in the Heart
If we, as a
people, will obey
the Lord, our
God, then will:
 Grant us MIRACULOUS HEALINGS
 Give RESTORATION TO OUR FAMILIES.
HE WILL TOUCH OUR CHILDREN
 Give us WISDOM
 Financial blessing and ABUNDANCE
The FIRST
FRUITS
OFFERING is
NOT ABOUT
MONEY
• IT IS DEFINITELY NOT
A FUND-RAISING.
• It is not BUYING
GOD’S FAVOR
God is looking
for something
in our hearts
FIRST FRUITS (is) a POINT OF AGREEMENT
FIRST FRUITS:
A challenge
to be faithful
One seed of
obedience can reap
the harvest of a
lifetime. Nobody can
sow your seed for
you.
obey God with joy and
gladness, not just with
FIRST FRUITS but also with
REGULAR TITHES as He has
declared in Malachi 3:10.
Your FIRST FRUITS
OFFERING and
your REGULAR
TITHES may define
the difference in
your life.
