[God is real and our Lord Jesus Christ is also real and true, but unfortunately, we now have an overwhelming fake pastors and prophets who now establish churches and fake miracles to collect tithes and offerings for them to live a life of opulence at d detriment of the gullible church goers and tithe and offering givers. Henceforth, give all your tithe and offerings to all the poor and needy around you instead of paying it to any church and you will see that fake pastors and churches will disappear.....Read Deuteronomy 14:26-28 |

For me, it is not really about the money itself but the act of giving, which should be done selflessly and without the expectation of anything in return. At least we can back that up with scripture. Remember the rich fellow who met Jesus and asked what else he could do to attain eternal life, having fulfilled all the commandments in scripture. He was told to give away his possessions to the poor, which made the man sad. (Mark 10:17-31). Obviously the man still held tight unto material things and most likely cared about his convenience. It is a mindset thing to me sha. I nor be Preacher o....so I am not even sure how first fruits should be given. But what I am sure about is the principle of giving - I am convinced it is universal and even more so when done selflessly. God sees whatever is done in secret and rewards accordingly, in summary. 1 Like |

Gullah: With your statement you shouldn't even give an offering or do Thanksgiving or any other giving to God since you are been blessed by God and since you are a Christian. NKJV, Proverbs 3:9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; NKJV, Proverbs 3:10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. NKJV, Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. It is what God want us to do to sanctify our wealth. |

Goodplace:/ There is no such thing as first fruit. Invest wisely and stop expecting miracles. Give to your parents because you want to assist them God doesn't need fruit, money or whatever semantics the fraudulent pastors have tattooed to your brains. I will like to see Nigeria tithe themselves to a first world country. All the payments to those fraudsters since independence and you people still remain a shit hole country. Only fools do the same thing repeatedly and expect different results. Keep wasting your money or rather, keep giving it to those who have better use for it. You can never bribe God to bless you because God is not a Nigerian. / |

First fruits is to be given to God not to your father. Giving of a thing is spiritual. God said it is an hallow thing. You don't give it to mother or father. It is called a first fruit offering. Offerings are offered to deity and your parents are not deity. Prov 3:9-10, Rom 11:16. It is not a Jewish thing alone it is for the church. Jesus was refer to as a first fruit. The Church is called the first fruit of God. You are first fruit to God and when God bless you you should offer to God your first fruit. First fruit is more of an honour, sacrifice, worship to God. When you give to God you honour him. |

ogascomax:I don't condemn giving, I am just saying if you want to give, let it be out of love and free will not because someone told you it's mandated by one archaic old testament law or because you want to get something from God in return as if you're paying God to bless you. God gave you his own son freely so why do you think you need to pay him before he blesses you with other things? He has giving us all blessings in Christ so if we give, we give out of free will and a heart of gratitude not because we are scared that if we don't pay some imposed "tax" then God won't bless us. 1 Like |

It's a tradition in igboland, that you give your first salary, earning to your father who will then bless it and give it back to you. This fulfills scripture which says honor your father & mother so that your days may be long. Anything apart from this stealing. Tithes, were used as a tax means for the isrealites. That's why they had 7 dft types of tithes(tithes for widows & orphans, tithes for the poor etc) and also had a year (on the 7th year) where no one pays tithe. Remember Jesus saying, when I was hungry, you gave me food, thirsty you gave me water, naked you clothed me, in prison and you visited me, in grief and you shared my pain, these are what Christians would be judged with. Is it worth taking the risk giving the money to your pastor for this purpose, if he does not do these things do you think you will be exempt from judgement? Know the scripture and know the truth 1 Like |

ogascomax:Can you please show any place where christians were required to pay first fruits? Or show any place where the apostles or the early christians in the Bible paid first fruits. You're saying Jesus was referred to as the first fruit and the church was also referred to as the first fruit but did the bible ever say we should now start bringing our first salary or earnings because we are his first fruit? Let's stop imposing jewish laws on christians just to force them to give. The first fruit was a law giving to Jews just like tithes and sin offering and so on. There's no where it was given or mandated for christians to still be under such laws. 1 Like |

Free yourself from manipulation, God does not answer prayer because someone is called a pastor or bless you more by your association with them. After God come your parents, take care of them. Then your immediate relation, and when they are okay then your neighbour you know has not, then the wayfarer. This is religion and spirituality, your blessings sources, be wise. 2 Likes |

Corruption is skyrocketing, bandits are kidnapping and killing pastors , immorality is at its peak ever, poverty is ravaging the economy, the Muslims have taken over the country as the political ruling class and make decisions for the church and let's not get started on Ebola, Lassa fever, Bird flu and churches collapsing with Christians killed in it.

First fruit was ordained by God and practiced by the Jews. This concept is not just about giving God money, it's a prophetic way of honouring God and showing that He's first in your life. Now it's not compulsory. Infact not giving your first fruit won't in any way hinder God's blessings in your life, it's not a sin, but there are certain dimensions/advantages you wouldn't be able to access. Just like having just a bsc can get you a job but an MSC or professional certification can give you an added advantage in the same job over someone with just a BSC. |
