Give God Your First Fruit, Adeboye Urges Redeemer Varsity Graduates by enemyofprogress: 11:46pm On Sep 08, 2023
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God(RCCG) Enoch Adeboye, has urged graduating students of Redeemer’s University to give their first fruit to God so nothing can stop their prosperity.

Adeboye, represented by the School’s Board of Trustee Chairman, Pastor Olukayode Pitan, said this to the graduates at the 15th convocation ceremony in Ede, Osun State.

According to him: “To the graduating students, I congratulate you very warmly. As you exit from the university, don’t allow the world and its lust to distract you to take the fear of God in you out; practice godliness. Be a lover of God and his word, and remember that all things answer to prayer if rightly done.

“God is the rewarder, give to him your first fruit, tithe and offering; nothing can stop your prosperity.

“Always remember your Alma Mata as you go. God who is the owner of Redeemer University will bless you”.

Payment of tithes and offerings, I don't mind if I'm giving it to the right person, that is teaching the true gospel of Christ, but not these so called false teachers.

How we spend our first fruits/income/salaries is very significant.
What you spend it on is a reflection of where your heart is- what/who matters the most to you.

I don't believe sowing all the first fruit is compulsory.
Kingdom life in the new testament is not legalities.
However for those who can, it is good and scriptural. God honors our financial sacrifices because money really is hard to sacrifice so when we do part with it sacrificially for God's work in the right place, it touches God's heart.

But do ensure you are intentional how you spend it and on whom you spend it.
Honor God, your parents, your spouse, your pastor, your self, siblings and whoever else matter to you.

This is it bro!!! God knows this is what I'll do when I eventually get a job. Giving them my first fruit is also giving to God, it mustn't have to be a church.

Prov.3.9 - Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
Prov.3.10 - So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Neh.10.37 - to bring the firstfruits of our dough, our offerings, the fruit from all kinds of trees, the new wine and oil, to the priests, to the storerooms of the house of our God; and to bring the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites should receive the tithes in all our farming communities.

Bro, I am asking as a Christian not a Jew.

In Christianity, the concept of first fruit offerings in the Old Testament symbolizes God's harvest of souls through Christ, ! Corinthians 15:20.

Christians are not mandated to give first fruit offerings because they are seen as a type of first fruit themselves James 1:18. We are no longer under the Old Testament Law. In Colossians 2. Paul emphasizes that these Jewish legalistic practices are shadows of what is to come, with the fulfillment found in Christ.

As Christians, we are not bound by these Old Testament rituals but are called to give cheerfully and generously, as God loves a cheerful giver.

It's amusing and equally disturbing that the only time men of God agree that one doesn't need the Holy Spirit to understand the scripture is when it comes to tithes and offerings. Those aspects are taken as is. You don't need the special explanation from the Holy Spirit that is, in most cases, exclusive to these pastors to understand that part

What I did when I received my first salary was that I used part of the money, bought some things and went for Thanksgiving...I didn't use all cos I have bills to settle and I know giving thanks to God is a continuous affair. Nevertheless, anyone who feels giving all the salary, should do,it's not mandatory

You people are ready to quote the scripture without context.

Israel has a tribe that does not farm or trade or do anything but only serve God and keep his Temple.... The Levites

That's why the other tribes take care of the Levites.

In this case adeboye who's wealther than all the students and their parents is still telling them to pay first fruit to him.

Onto wetin.

Religion is truly the opioid of the masses.
