promotervickky:Giving and being blessed fr giving is a law of nature. Its blessings are not tied to "men of God". If u had given that "first fruit" to boko haram, u wld still get plenty in return. Ask Osama Bin Laden who never lacked ish, despite giving to promote terrorism. That's why ecclesiastics 11:1 says: "cast ur bread upon the waters and it shall return to u after many days". Giving is not the problem, but being made to believe that it has to be given to a pastor is d problem. Would u give it to ur family members? No! U hav been made to believe that if it's not given to "pastor", no progress would come of it. Why is dat so? Ur motive of serving God is being exploited. U believe God is ur MMM. Therefore u put in, expecting returns. Whereas, Luke 14:13,14 warns us not give with an aim to receiving. But u know wat? Never mind. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

promotervickky:So, how do you know the 'cash out' was a function of first fruit you sumitted. Don't you think you put in more effort, applied more inovative designing tactics and so on. We really have to dig deep in our reasoning and stop attributing our individual success to any metaphysical factor, cos many people followed that path and are doomed today. 2 Likes |

Matt 23:23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Luke 11:42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Jesus never condemned tithing but only said that justice, mercy, faith and love of God were more important. He even expressly said that tithing should not be left undone (see emphasised portions above). Tithes are meant for the spreading of the gospel (private jets included where necessary!), to maintain the house of God, to take care of widows, the poor and the needy and of course for the comfortable upkeep of the servants of God. Proverbs 3:9 says Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the FIRSTFRUITS of all thine increase: Verse 10 says So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Leviticus 23:10 says “When you come into the land which I give you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest,” Leviticus 23:10. It is to be set apart as holy unto God! With regard to firstfruits, it is commanded in the old testament and though not specifically commanded in the new testament, reference is made to it: Rom.11:16 says for if the FIRSTFRUITS be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. Several other new testament verses also use the metaphor of firstfruits. As you can see from the emphasised portion, it is meant to be brought to the house of God and given to the priest. Of course, you should have some savings from previous earnings that will sustain you until you you are able to make subsequent earnings after giving your firstfruits. Although i do not observe it, i do not condemn those who do. It would interest you to know that people in the new testament actually gave more than those of the old testament because of their zeal for the work of God. The book of acts records that early christians actually sold their possessions and gave the proceeds to the church. Of course, if you choose not to pay firstfruit or even tithes, no one can force you. It is however the right of those who observe them to do with their money as they please as it is your right to do with yours as you please. I can only counsel that for those who wish to observe either or both of the two forms of giving, they should make sure it is done in true churches of Christ where there is fear of God and where the monies would be used to the glory of God. Also note that if you chose to give your Firstfruits, this should not stop you from proper financial investment. It just requires extra planning. GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS' NAME! 1 Like |

Of course give your first fruit. Just dont forget the difference between the tree, the first fruit and all the other fruits from that tree. To most people their salary is their networth or their tree. Abel gave the first offspring of his flock. Not his flock and definitely not all the offsprings of his flock. 1 Like 1 Share |

promotervickky:This is a good testimony,but you have to grow up as a Christian. Babes give to God to receive,and if they don't receive? Give to God if you want,he owns you and everything on Earth. God blessed a lot of people this year who didn't pay any first fruit because he is God that's his nature. Infact a lot of non Christian's made million times of what you made. God made his sun to shine on any and every body,that's who he is. God didn't give you anything because of first fruit,if he did,then you deserve it,he doesn't deserve your praise. God will and has never blessed any one because they deserve it,he blesses because he is good. |

If you like sow ur first fruit offering, if you don't like to sow keep it to urself or even invest it no is forcing you to do that, But I believe that as a genuine Christian you should have the holy spirit that will always direct u on the right thing to do. Proverbs 3:3-10

Just my own opinion. How many of the richest men and women in the world pay first fruit to any church? If anyone can give me evidence of any of the richest men or women in the world paying first fruit to attain that position, I will pay both January and February income as first fruit. 1 Like |

promotervickky:SSo you believe it's your first fruit? Why do you people see God as magician these days, or Merlin? So if you are to give your first fruit to your pastor as it may be, so where do you get tithe to pay, or offering....... Let's not ask of your feeding, electricity bill, water bill etc. Africans that behave this way will remain backward, it is not a curse, it's just logic. |

well personally for me everything in life is attached to season there's a time to sow and a time to reap, if you know your God and you have a close relationship with him follow his way and hold fast what u believe but always remember to prove all, may God help our understanding of his kingdom principles...#peace |

promotervickky: Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates paid their first fruits to who again? Remind us Seun osewa paid his to which GO? You have been sold a lie The oil sheiks of Arabia are richer than you and pay no first fruits. That alone breaks your theory apart You are getting rich because you are good and diligent at what you you do first fruit or no first fruit You give thanks to God for it is he that gave you the power to make wealth The moment you start doing a sloppy job and disappointing customers no first fruit can save you |
