I think first fruit means "something out of your first harvest" and not "all of the harvest". Imagine someone telling you the whole of your first month salary. 1 Like |

I don't know when all this people will realise loving God is not all about money. All what this churches and pastors want is money and they will twist the Bible thousands of times to satisfy themselves. |

Jesus was a carpenter's son. He ran the business. was there ever a time Joseph or Jesus paid in any first fruit? Jesus was the pastor of the disciples. They left everything and followed Him. I don't see where the disciples dependents brought first fruit to Jesus. Wasn't He a man of God? Why is first fruit now always about money? People offered their produce For someone that produces Coffins, are pastors willing to receive caskets as first fruit? Someone should please respond to above questions citing biblical references. 2 Likes |

We in Africa pick parts of the Bible to favor our greed or skewed opinion. Bible has so many teaches but it is the one that has to do with money that sweet us. Yet Africa is backward and poverty abounds. Jesus message was on love to those with no food,clothes n lack. Let's focus on love your neigbor as yourself. Stop all this gamble teaching. |

My brother, be it to you according to your faith. Anybody who doesn't believe in tithing, will never believe in first fruit. Everybody should go for what works for them. To me, tithing great. First fruit AWESOME!!! 2 Likes |

Ken4Christ: Did you just twist "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" - Matthew 6:33, to suit your argument for firstfruit. Ridiculous, just ridiculous, salvation is the primary reason Jesus came to earth, not your first fruit or your tithes. Spend more time loving God and less time treating him as a money doubler. 4 Likes |

Ken4Christ: So that the Pastors can continue to grow fat with their families while the congregation suffer.Every Pastor now boast of their wealth , forgetting that they make daily and weekly return from a cumulative hussle of their members. Now we know that Nigerian Churches are not charity house that could help the needy but we should go back to farming. Highest level of modern day fraud 1 Like |

Kusetic: @the bolded, that's just the long and short of all the noise on tithes and first fruits. The GOs tell their members to give their last 1naira and "watch God" give them back 10naira in a few days, weeks or months. Yes, the Bible said, "give and it will come back to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over..." But is that the only thing the Bible talked about? Repentance is no longer being preached in many churches. It's all about the tithes and offerings. |

This is a lie. The Messiah has come! These people are either knowingly or unknowingly deceiving people as to how God answers people's prayers. The God of the Bible only answers prayers made to Him according to His Will in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. Anyone preaching any other route to God is an unbeliever and a servant of Satan. Such people are working for, and under the Antichrist. The first-fruits teaching is from Satan: the main aim is to deny the efficacy of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. www.thetruechristianfaith.com/the-great-take-over-of-the-church-of-christ/ |

I dont even get what the hullabo is about. Its not like anyone is saying anyone must pay. Those that believe and feel they want to honor God with their first salary or profit or whatever should go ahead and if you dont want to nobody is saying you must. How is that so hard? There are people that still take the first salary of their first job to their parents to bless and pray for them because they believe there's a blessing attached to the prayer of their parents. Let everyone do as he so wish. 1 Like |

Confused people who know so little about God, yet believe they speak the mind of God. The Op lacks the simple decency and courtesy to study the Bible well before trying to make declarations in the name of God. Either that or he is a pastor whose very livelihood depends on the payment of these ridiculous offerings. It is not by force to be a pastor especially if you are not called. Go and get a decent job and work hard and smart so you can stop embarrassing yourself in the name of religious bara. If you must resurrect the very same things Christ died to face out, why then did He die in the first place? Sill.y people, driven by their belly and making a merchandize of Christ. To think He bled, suffered and died for something, while people like you try converting the fruit of His toils to opportunities to make filthy lucre... In the Old Testament, people like you would be brought out by your father and mother and stoned to death for falsely speaking in the name of God. 1 Like |

Weda first fruit or last fruit. All is a scam and have no place in Christ. The only thing and I mean only thing Christ profess with his mouth for us to continually do is the Holy Communion. |

OkCornel: and what is this love for God and man covers...? isn't it the ability through grace by the power of the holy spirit to do what is expected in the relationship you have between him and your fellow man so honoring God should be abandoned... tell me how do you honor God ? there are many ways we honor God and it should be out of love (conviction) but the likes of you need a law to show you the way..since you can't under the love ability giving to u and am saying this based on showing how much you love God and not trying to save yourself via the law this is totally different |
