If you are one of those that foolishly give your January salary to your pastor, you have been sold a lie.
It is the invention of commercial pastors about a decade ago.

The Bible has no such teachings
You celebrate the birth of the savior December 25th and yet believe he needs your money to bless you.
That money is to satisfy your greedy pastor and has nothing to do with Christ.

Stop being pawns in the hands of these greedy men of mammon.

I dare anyone to show me where anyone surrendered their first salary to anyone in the Bible? You won't find it because it doesn't exist.

Don't let people twist an old testament practice that has nothing to do with bringing money and make you act foolishly.

If you don't know what to do with your salary,go give it to your mother.

Don't be a mumu

babeosisi:


Show me a single scripture where people were commanded to give and gave their first month salary ?
One scripture only
Not your pastor''s words ,produce it from the bible
You don't tap onto anything,you have the same direct access to God as your MOG and he has given you all things freely the bible says

macello4:
am not pastor.

PrecisionFx:


Have u ever paid 50% of ur salary to ur pastor?

alBHAGDADI:


Stop quoting scriptures out of context. The verses you are referring to are seen below and they are speak of Jesus being their first of those who will rise from the dead at the resurrection. The passage in no way speaks of the living and giving offering to God.

1 Corinthians 15:20
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

SonsOfLiverpool:
why quoting exodus sef, I thought that was old testament? There are some horrible stuff in that book should we also follow that?

Christ is the reason for Christianity and he never collected anything or asked anyone to pay. So why should Christians pay?

Nosaghae:


Proverbs 3:9
Honor the LORD from your wealth And from the first of all your produce;

Exodus 34:26
"You shall bring the very first of the first fruits of your soil into the house of the LORD your God. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk."

Pachesky:
I'm not surprised about the comments ive read here, many people have turned to bible scholars over night and believe they have become wiser without even studying the bible in fulfilment of the scriptures of the last days are men would be lovers of their own soul and not the word..

If you have no idea about first fruits just keep quiet and let those who know its importance carry on with it.
Ill pick a worldly example. Taxes are required of every working class citizen by law. Just because the government of your country missues tax payers money meant for infrastructural developments doesn't make taxes illegal..whether you pay or not doesnt render tax paying a scam or a lie..
And when the hour comes those who failed to pay when caught would be handed their appropriate judgement depending on their level of default..

Thats how first fruits, tithes, offerings and free will giving and other requirements of God would be judged too..if you like pay or not when the hour comes we would all know who has been wise and who has been foolish..

There are fake pastors everywhere but I pray that God would not let the actions of these wolves in sheep clothings who have made many christian backslide continue to turn the hearts of others cold.

Bible scriptures supporting first fruit
Proberbs 3:9-10
Leviticus 23:10
Exodus 23:19
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

First of the firstfruits, the best of your harvests, not everything. Ole.

Deuteronomy 18:4

The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
People make unar read unar Bible oooo. These people know you don't read, that's why they have been scamming you left, right and center.

TruthHurts100:


Olodo, thief......

Firstfruit is not money exactly. Firstfruit means the best of your produce or income which you give willingly. The Bible never mentions January salary.

Did you know that Jesus Christ was also referred to as a firstfruit in the Bible?

alBHAGDADI:


Most people don't know that it is antichrists and satanic agents that are advising against firstfruits. They don't want you to obey your father the Almighty. Look at the Monika of the one I quoted. Tell me if an Antichrist will advise you to stop paying firstfruits if truly paying it is a wrong thing to do. No, he will advise you to continue doing the wrong thing. But here he knows paying it is right, that's why he and his likes are advising you against it.

babaolofin:


Yes to the church as offerings, group comments and special needs in the Church. Calculate offering of 8 services in a month and other seeds sown in a month and tithe. People focus only on tithe, offerings and other seeds alone outweigh tithe.

Emary:


And this is Christianity?

macello4:
now i know u are sick. Why are u so in pain becos of first fruit? Is it ur money? No one can speak for GOD not even u, u are too junior.

TruthHurts100:

myboy2111:

The Church I stopped attending..the Pastor will be calling out names one after the other for special offering. I told the Pastor I will no longer attend the Church. 80% of members are women.

1 Corinthians 15:20

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

You've been a mumu for too long. If you don't know, you shut up. Ode!

James 1:18
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Firstfruits best of God's creation. Wake up.

alBHAGDADI:


You think Christianity is only about the new Testament? No wonder your kind are always quick to throw away the old testament as if it's no longer God's word. See what the book of Proverbs which is not a law of Moses said to we children of God about firstfruits.

Proverbs 3:9
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the
firstfruits of all thine increase:

If you say we shouldn't obey the above verse because it is on the old testament, then what you are saying is that we should also disobey God and our parents because the same book advises on that too.

Proverbs 1:1-9
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck

Do not say what you dont know op. Giving is an act of tapping blessings from God. I pray you experience Lords blessings as you give. if not for giving nobody will be calling Abraham father of all nations. Enough said.

SonsOfLiverpool:
Calm down, I was being funny, no throw stone enter market your brother dey there

SonsOfLiverpool:
Old testament? Hahahahahaha there's a part in old testament where we are asked to stone adulterous women to death, should we follow that too?

Show us where Jesus or his disciples preached or collect first fruit or even tithe, stop quoting Jewish practice.

We are Christians not Jews.

Thief

Sir, why is it that the pastors retains any part of the mosaic law that has to do with money or giving.

What about stoning a disobedient child to death? Why leave that one out?
