“Having an Aggressive Attitude Toward the Enemy”


Matthew 11:12 Luke 10:19 Acts 10 Genesis 14:14-16 I Samuel 30:1-6

• Many Christians are living a passive lifestyle

• They are praying and asking God to do something - When God has asked them to do something

• God has commanded you to take your authority, your dominion, to use the anointing or the power of God that He has put upon you to make a difference

• There is an area of your life where God expects you as a Christian to be on the attack – To be violent toward what has been happening to you, your health, marriage, family, children, and your finances

• At the name of Jesus – Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

• God has given you authority in the heavens and in the earth

• The violent shall take it by force

• Violent: Aggressive – To take power, might, and aggressive authority – Go after it

• You can not allow the enemy to come into your house and attack your family without aggressively dealing with him in that area

• You are called to take care of business – And you must have an aggressive attitude in those areas

• Whatever the enemy is fighting you with – You have the power, or authority to exercise in this earth realm

• Stop sitting around hoping and wishing for something to change in your life

• When you have the authority to change it - You have the authority to make a difference

• Many Christians are praying and putting it in God’s hand to do something

• That is a passive spirit that the enemy loves for Christians to have

• You’re praying for God to do something – When God has already told you what to do
• God wants you to be aggressive in every area of your life

• This is your year to bring back all that was stolen from you

• There were some things stolen from you that you didn’t even know about

• Some things were stolen from your family members who are no longer here

• The rewards are there for you

• Sometimes when you’re going through the tough times and there is no one to stand with you – You can not be mad at the people that will not encourage you

• You must stand anyway and encourage yourself in the Lord your God

• The devil loves to discourage you – He is trying to cause you to give up

• You must believe that God is still on the throne

“Firstfruits Sunday”

Genesis 7:1-3 Genesis 8:15-18

• And Noah went forth - God will never advance you pass your last act of disobedience

• When God can find thankful people – He will always show Himself strong on their behalf

• Noah did something unusual to show his thanksgiving – He first offered something to God before going about his business

• It’s called the Principle of Exchange

• If you want God to do more for you – You have to exchange something to Him

• Don’t look at what it is – Look at who He is

• Through Noah’s offerings to God – Some things were stopped and there was a reversal of some negative things on the behalf of mankind

• God is always concern about the seed – He will always make sure that the seed is kept alive

• During Firstfruits Giving: (II Chronicles 29)

1. It is about having the right perception of Firstfruits
2. Having the Spirit of excitement
3. Having passion to recognize this is the heart of God
4. Having expectancy

• Seven Blessings To Believe God For:

1. Supernatural provision (A flow of abundance) (Proverbs 3:9, 10)
2. Drive out opposition to your increase (Exodus 34:24)
3. Expand your real estate holdings
4. God will take away the desires of your enemy to hurt you (Exodus 34:24)
5. Blessings upon your household (Ezekiel 44:30)
6. Your income will be blessed (Or the rest of your income) (Romans 11:16)
7. Supernatural increase (II Kings 4:42)

• Three things you need for today:
1. A Spirit of worship
2. Release your faith
3. A Spirit of rejoicing

“The Principle of Firstfruits / Open Giving”

Proverbs 3:1-10 Exodus36:5-7 Exodus 35:4, 5,21,22,29 Nehemiah 10:35-38
Ezekiel 44:30 Ezekiel 48:14 Matthew 5:16 Matthew 6:1-4 I Timothy 6:18


• God is the “God of Principle” – Everything He does is through principles

• Many Christians operate outside of the principles – But they want God to bless them according to principles

• Principles are what God uses to bless you

• Principles - When broken, will curse you and bring destruction upon you

• Walking in Love is a principle of God – Yet many Christians walk outside the principle

• So those Christians don’t receive the blessing they want because they choose to hate and hold on to things

• Forgiveness is a principle – People want forgiveness without forgiving

• When you want something to change in your life – Start changing principles in your life

•

• If it has not been working for you – There is something you’re not doing that is holding back the blessing of God in your life

• It is never a God issue – It is a you issue

• Things can always get better - If you get better

• Principles, when activated – Brings a reward with it

• You have the ability to stop a lot of things that’s happening in your life through Firstfruits giving

• That is why the devil will fight against you – He does not want you to be set free from the bondages in your life

• Firstfruits giving will cause the blessing to rest upon your house

• The blessing – God’s breakthrough power working on your behalf

• When you give openly – It shames the devil and brings glory to God

• Alms is giving to the poor

• God is against open giving if giving to the poor - God does not want you to shame the poor

• God did not prosper you to just store it up – He wants you to be a distribution center

• You must be consistent at working the principles – Be the best that you can be at all times

• God wants you to be rich in good works and deeds by doing the principles

• God is trying your heart for the next promotion, breakthrough, and miracle

• God is trying to stir you up – But it is up to you to have a willing heart

• On Firstfruits Sunday, I stand in agreement that God will release three things to you:
1. The spirit of wisdom will be stirred up in you life
2. Favor will flow into your life like a river
3. The spirit of generosity will be upon your life

• During this time when things are upside down and anything that could go wrong, is going wrong

• It is time for the “God of more than enough” to show up strong on your behalf

“The Principle of Firstfruits”

Proverbs 3:1-10 Genesis 4:1-7 Romans 11:16 Romans 15:4
Leviticus 2:12 Deuteronomy 26:1-11


• God is a “God of Principles”

• When you live according to His principles – You know that God will always show up big on your behalf

• The enemy fights against men and women who commit their lives to a life of living by God’s principles

• You already know a lot of the principles – But the devil will fight against the principles of God in your life

• You must fight to keep the principles

• The word keep is a military term – It means to guard and to protect with your life

• You must guard and protect the principles that you were taught in the word of God

• Honor the Lord with your substance – Be careful that you don’t start thinking that what you have is yours

• Everything that you have – God has given it to you

• If God is going to continue giving to you – You must be prepared to release what God has given to you so that He can give you more

• It is a principle – Give and it shall be given back unto you

• If God ever ask for something – He has more in store - If you release what He ask for

• Firstfruits is about honoring God – He always wants to be first

• Firstfruits giving is about honoring God and declaring Him “number one” in your life

• It’s about you letting earth, heaven, beneath the earth, and every demon – Know that God is “number one” in your life

• During the first part of the year – We have one Sunday designated as “Firstfruits Sunday”

• On that Sunday - You should bring your Firstfruits – Recognizing God as first

• If you put God first – He will put you at the top of His agenda

• Some people want God to do something first – God has already did His part

• God had respect for Abel’s offering

• Cain did not do as God had commanded – Therefore God did not honor Cain’s offering

• When you bring your Firstfruits – God declares it blessed – Then everything associated with it is blessed

• Jesus came from heaven and became a man – He was pulled out of humanity to be a sacrifice for us

• Because Jesus was a Firstfruits – When He gave His life – He became Holy and everybody connected with Him is also Holy

• Jesus is blessed – So everybody connected with Him is blessed

• Jesus is declared righteous - Everybody connected with Him is declared righteous

• If you don’t come on Firstfruits Sunday because you don’t want to come

• Then your attitude is going to cost you more than you can imagine

• If in the past you didn’t come because you didn’t think you had enough to give

• It’s not about how much you have – It’s about the attitude of what you do have

• Everybody can’t give on the same level

• Everybody can do something – Because what you want is the blessing

• Your Firstfruits is not being offered to Calvary Christian Center

• It is being offered unto the Lord - You should offer it with some excitement

• God is looking for you to have the right attitude –Stand and declare that your God is able

• Firstfruits is about God being:
1. First in your life
2. It’s about your worship
3. It’s about your rejoicing

• Let me tell you, “It’s not God” – Here’s the problem – They are not keeping His principles or they are not doing those things that are pleasing to Him

• Written in his book, “In His Presence”, E. W. Kenyon stated that “Jesus always did those things that are pleasing to God

• Many people have extended themselves beyond where they should have

• As God starts turning some things around in your life and starts blessing you again – Learn to be smarter – Don’t go out right away and start spending on things you don’t need

• Save your money – Pay off some debt – Start being wise with your stewardship

• “Father, today I want to commit my life to you; to always do those things that are pleasing unto you. I commit my life to serving and giving in every area of my life. I break and take authority over the cycle of destruction, lack, want, and need in my life. Thank you Lord God, that you are mindful of me; that you got me on your mind to increase me in every area of my life. I believe, by faith that today is the beginning of bigger and greater things because I commit to do those things that are pleasing and honorable unto you Father for the rest of my life.”

“The Principle of Firstfruits”

Proverbs 3:1-10


• God shows himself strong on the behalf of a person who is a Firstfruits giver

• God always wants to be first

• Anytime God ask you to do something – It is never going to be without a promise or a reward connected to it

• That is why the enemy fights you so hard – To keep you from obeying God

• When you don’t forget His principles – When you keep them in your heart

• Length of days – Long life – Shalom (Peace) - Shall be added to you

• Many people are looking for the fountain of youth – When it is right in the Bible

• All you have to do is learn how to operate according to God’s principles

• Principle: Love thy neighbor as thyself

• Most people don’t love their neighbors as themselves

• Many Christians are prejudice, have anger, bitterness, lack of forgiveness, critical, and fault finding

• These are Christians who have been washed in the blood and yet they are holding onto these things - Then they want God to bless them

• The enemy does not play fair – It’s not you – The enemy is fighting against principles

• The enemy knows that God is a “God of Principle” - Just remember to say that

God wants you to be a person of principle – When you are – Then you obligate God

• Most people don’t like that word “obligate”

• But it’s not so much that you obligate Him – God obligates Himself



• When we operate according to God’s principles – God can tell the devil that “they did my word, now I’m obligated to do it for them”

• Satan is the God of this world – However, every time you operate according to God’s principles – God has a legal right to bless you

• Every time you do something good – God does something

• Every time you do something evil – The devil does something

• The reason you are in some situations today is because you have violated a principle

• Most of you think you can do it yourself – You don’t take the time to acknowledge God

• The reason why you get into the situations that you do is because you don’t acknowledge God – You just do it yourself

• In all your ways – Acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths

• Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the Firstfruits of all thine increase
