The Mystery and the Power of the First Element: The Theology of the First-Fruits - Paperback

by Celestin Ben Joseph (Author), Ginette Joseph (Author)

Are you a first child, a first wife, a first pastor, or deacon of a ministry? Are you a first convert in your family? Do you have a first animal or crop in your possession? Do you expect to receive a first check or a first gift from someone? This book will show you how to release the power of God into them and steward the multitude that follows. The authors uniquely present the principle of understanding fully the concept of what it means to be "First" in the eternal program of God. This book is a clarion call for believers to get serious about their personal relationship with the Lord. The challenge is to give everything first to the safety and care of the Lord.

Doctors Celestin Ben and Ginette Joseph are examples of God's chosen shepherds to lead God's people. They lead with genuine, godly fear. The Lord honored them in 2004 when He called them to be the shepherd of His flocks at Bethany Maranatha Baptist Church in Miami, Florida, where Pastor Celestin serves as the senior pastor. The scripture that describes them as leaders is found in Jeremiah 3:15, "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding" (KJV ).
