lalasticlala: Pastor Adeboye's son, Leke Adeboye speaks about First Fruit, encouraging Christians to partake in it.
Leke also talks about the difference between first fruit increase and first fruit sacrifice.
Daddy Freeze reposted the video on his Instagram Page and reacted to it with his followers.
"Dear Leke Adeboye, The leader of the Free Nation in Christ greets you and brings glad tidings. I do appreciate your detailed explanation on the above topic but permit me to disagree with the premise upon which your doctrine is based. - You described a scenario where an increase of 1 Naira was given as first fruit increase. Please as a Berean Christians described in the verse below: ◄ Acts 17:11 ► And the people of Berea were more noble than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.
These Christians were described as more noble than the Thessalonians, because they searched the scriptures daily, to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth, so kindly indulge us, show us where this first fruit increase is in the Bible so we can go and ‘search’ for it. - You spoke of the First Fruit sacrifice that Abraham gave and you stated the instance of giving his son. Please explain to us with scriptural evidence how this became money, or don’t your church members have children to sacrifice like Abraham did? - Abraham was given the sacrifice of a ram by God who counted his faith as righteousness for obeying him. This sacrifice of yours in my opinion is not in obedience to God, rather it’s the propagation of man made ideas as commands from God (Mark7:7), so it cannot be counted as righteousness. - ◄ Romans 4:3 ► New Living Translation For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” - Furthermore, neither Christ nor the disciples gave any concession or command that required believers to pay first fruit, instead the New Testament clearly states that Christ is the first fruit of the grave, a sacrifice from God himself to the believers who are now his priests, suggesting that first fruit is money rejects the sacrifice God gave us and puts Christ once again to public shame by nailing him to the cross. (Hebrews6:6) - ◄ 1 Corinthians 15:20 ► New International Version But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep."
When the church has turned people's focus on earthly things as the ultimate prize to be earned and nothing else matters not even their salvation and the kingdom at the end of the struggle what a shame to my people who obeys such preachings, I call them miracle seekers, shot cut seekers to the kingdom of God.

buragidi: Oga, no GOD will tell you to bring first fruit if you are a christian. First fruits, tithes et al are not christian practices. They are not part or the new convenant.
What you have in the old covenant is majorly judaism ane part of islam. You cannot claim to be a christian anr pay first fruit and tithe. Each time you do that, you are putting yourself under the law and denying the death and resurretion of Christ who has fufilled the law on your behalf.
Besides, God under the new covenant relates with u as his son therefore, he will not be so wicked to the edtent of asking you all your income in the begining of the year or anytime for that matter. Can you do that to your children? God does not spend money. He does not need money to bless you. Anyone who asks you to bring money in expectation of God's blessings ( under any guise-tithe, first fruit, sacrifice etc) is a thief. He/She is only feeding on your ignorance, vulnerability and desperation.
I am sure you will agree with me that the concept of tithes, first fruit etc were never money even in the old convenant. Albeit, money had been in existence the. Ask these thieves behind the pupit when God converted fruits to money for tithe and first fruit, they will resort to blackmail.
May you people receive sense. Indeed, my people perish for lack of knowledge.
[qquote author=spiritmasquerad post=85553672] I have read all this comment and what I will say is if God tells you to sow first fruit do it if not don't it is not by force every these people are making it look like there put gun to their head to give first fruit or anything. I have been going to RCCG for 5 years now and have not paid once because God didn't tell me to so if you like pay if not don't it's not by force. Another thing I have noticed is that all the people that follow this daddy freeze are people who go to church because of Pastor and they didn't give them anything,they say give to God if you don't want the money to enter Pastor eat by yourself
Then why is the old testament in the Bible, even Jesus say he didn't come to change the law but to bring it to fulfillment
d Nigerian civil service is shambles BC workers are paid poor salaries which d govt knows can't take them hone. that's part of reason they specialise in ways to receive bribes in offices. u can't pay someone peanut and expect him not to steal.
sane scenario is playing out in our churches. a pastor expects u to bring all ur first month salary to church. where does he expect u to pay ur rent and feeding fee for d month from. in other words they encourage people to steal or borrow what they can't pay. most churches are becoming mindless and bolder on a daily basis. they don't care abt how their members survive. they just know abt their pockets. ever day d number of churches increase while crime and wickedness also increase. this shows most churches are not there to bring salvation to people but to create ways for their pockets to full. most tines I ask myself "is this how Christ wanted it to be"
Don't you ever call me names ok...... you guys are people's problems, Not what they believe. If I should dig it out and give to you, of what use will it be to you? Will you change your mindset?
