And who told you that I don't believe it? Giving your first fruit to God is Jewish feast held in the early spring at the beginning of the grain harvest. Leviticus 23:9-14.

The people were to bring a sheaf of grain to the priest, who would wave it before the Lord. A burnt offering, a meal offering, and a drink offering were also required at that time. Not salary or money as today's church preach.

In leviticus 23:15-16, the day of the firstfruits offering was also used to calculate the proper time of the Feast of Weeks.

But in the New Testament, the firstfruits offering were people not gifts or fruits or money. Romans 16:5; 1 Corinthians 16:15 and James 1:18.

The firstfruits offering is never applied to Christian giving in the New Testament. A Christian is under no further obligation than to give cheerfully and liberally 2 Corinthians 9:6-7.

Enoquin:


So, God will not bless him more if he doesn't take it to church? I know of someone who took his to his parents and this is what they did; they took the money from him, prayed for him and returned it back to him. He used part of the money to appreciate them; got the parents seperate gifts and used the rest of his money as he saw fit.

I know of people who did neither and have received their fair share of good and bad times same as those who gave.

Please NLs, brought this here to get your opinions about the subject. My mum says it's a tradition in our family. In my own opinion, I'd rather give my first salary as my first fruit in church than share with family members. This issue has made me & my mum to be at loggerheads. Pls I'd like to know, how did you spend your first salary?

Your parents should not have to bring such topic to bare before you make the decision irrespective of culture, even if you give them all of your first salary and you did not do it Whole heartedly, I tell you verily you have wasted that fruit of your labor, such actions must be instinctive, wholehearted without an iota of doubt..

Even before I got my first job and subsequently earned my first pay check, because of how much sacrifice, love and support my parents have shown to me and my siblings I had already made up my mind without mentioning a word to them what to do with my first fruit, my family is my Church, I am a Christian, a very proud catholic in faith at that and I know better.

I gave allllll, I mean every penny I was paid as my first salary, immediately I got home...I walked into my parents room and gave it all to them, from the little change I saved prior to my first salary,I bought my dad a bottle of wine, mom broke down in tears of joy, my dad was not surprised, they brought me out to the living room and invited my siblings and they all rained blessing on my head for over 40 mins..and to be honest with you, those blessings rained on me that night have been favor in my life, those blessings guide me, those blessing and many more I receive from them are my strength..

And guess what? Without telling me, my mom took a portion of that money to pay tithe on my behalf..talk about Awesome parents.. I love them to death..
