1 YOU are healed of whatever disease. Spiritual or physical ailments are healed. (pool of Bethesda experience) read John 5:4.
2 You receive money/gold. Number 1 is the number of the river of gold which is prosperity. Pishon river was the first river that fed Adam in the garden of Eden.
Genesis 2:11
The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. (NKJV)
Genesis 2:10-12
A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[a] and onyx are also there.) (NIV)
Pishon in Hebrew means to break loose or to spring forward. Pishon produced life giving water. It circled the land of Havilah and Havilah means something that reminds us of the presence and blessing of God.
Matthew 17:27
“But so that we may not cause offence, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.” (NIV)
The first fish that Peter caught in the verse above had money/gold in its mouth. Being first in certain things causes you to be wealthy. The world understands this principle because the one that comes first when competing in the Olympics and other athletic events win a gold medal.
The second does not get a gold medal it is only the first. There is certainly a blessing in being first. The first place winner is crowned or honoured on the highest platform and they play his or her national anthem.
3 Spiritual Birthright — a right to get the inheritance as a first born child. No matter what circumstances you may face, do not sell your birthright.
In the African culture, a first born child is usually dedicated to ancestors or there are usually rituals that take place in the name of accepting the first born into the world. These acts are demonic, and as a child of God, never allow your child to go through such because they will be dedicated to poverty. Do not follow family traditions but follow the laws of God.
God Bless . . .
