Do not say what you dont know op. Giving is an act of tapping blessings from God. I pray you experience Lords blessings as you give. if not for giving nobody will be calling Abraham father of all nations. Enough said.
it's called sacrifice and not giving. It has more reward than giving.

If you are one of those that foolishly give your January salary to your pastor, you have been sold a lie.
It is the invention of commercial pastors about a decade ago.

The Bible has no such teachings
You celebrate the birth of the savior December 25th and yet believe he needs your money to bless you.
That money is to satisfy your greedy pastor and has nothing to do with Christ.

Stop being pawns in the hands of these greedy men of mammon.

I dare anyone to show me where anyone surrendered their first salary to anyone in the Bible? You won't find it because it doesn't exist.

Don't let people twist an old testament practice that has nothing to do with bringing money and make you act foolishly.

If you don't know what to do with your salary,go give it to your mother.

if you earn 100k per month, and your pastor receive that in January, in addition to 10% of your salary which is 10k every month for 12 months which is 120k
he receives as tithe .


first fruit = 100,000

annual tithe = 120,000

total sum going to your pastor = 220,000
+ offerings for 52 Sundays
+ seeds and pledges.



its an attempt to collect tithe twice.

double tithtation ..lol

multiple tithe ation !!!

First fruit is not a scam. As long as it's done from your heart then you're good to go.


False!! The bible says without faith it is impossible to please God.......if you cannot find conviction in the word nor in teachings or in the Spirit within then why offer an offence before the Lord!?

People feel compelled to do things, that they have no faith based anchor for and then feel cheated....

Eph 4:14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

It is a sign of immaturity, childishness and in some cases Spiritual retardation, go back to the word of God, pray and seek God's face for clarification on such matters before you make decisions on givings that you are not sure about.

First fruit exists in scriptures within the old testament and there are principles upon which it is practiced under the new convenant......

1 peter 2:2
As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:

Learn as a Christian to focus on pleasing the Lord by faith through your giving, the bible says desire the 'sincere milk' of the word of God. That alone tells you that not all give you the word of God in sincerity of heart or the word sincere as it is.

Some one who has no desire for Spiritual growth, no love for the things of the Spirit, no longing for the Lord nor heaven, you donate your ears to such a person to counsel you on how to give to God? You will not go very far in your Spiritual walk with God.

That one is clear.

Is it not people who have a desire for God that should counsel you on their walk/work with God or their experience in relating with God. As opposed to people who see opportunities to exploit others in every young Christian at every turn, who just believe that everybody is like them.

I have said my peace

Boss13:
Sometimes I wonder what blessings people who give to pastors are really seeking. What I have come to realize is that many Nigerians like to buy their way out of things. They want to buy God’s Grace with material wealth (laughs). They want to seek Favour from God via bribing pastors.

Money is for this earth (material world). It has no significance to spiritual things. It cannot get you into heaven, even your pastor too. If you must give, then do so because you want your pastor to keep looking good. However, if you think you’re doing it to seek God’s Grace - then you are getting it wrong.
there are many stupid people in Nigeria, they won't listen rather tag such as sinners against the kingdom.

How full grown adult go carry full salary drop somewhere, is that not yahoo yahoo? Hahahahaha

So many children of hate on Nairaland! When has the business of the Church become the concern of satanic children?
People who do not know the road to a Church, who are tight-fisted, who can never help themselves, let alone giving to others, always believe that pastor has no other job other than eating Church money. Please, nobody is begging you for money, keep it for yourself and let us hear word. Is it by force that you should give your cursed first fruit? Those who know what it is, are giving regardless of your meaningless write-up.
The day is coming when if it not a pastor that is called, the case will become bad.
I have discovered that this generation of youths is the most unfortunate. They tell dreams they never dreamt. How could you be in your father's house (because I know you're still in school), and label every pastor as a thief?
Did you see that the fear of God is no longer in your eyes? You have left the good path your parents wanted you to follow and now gone astray. You need to come back, otherwise, your parents will curse you more from their graves!
Face your life, and leave pastors alone. Since you have decided on your own to go to hell, go alone, and don't try to drag others with you. Be warned!

What is sacrifice? I have over 2 decades of ministry experience? The widow who gave all she had did not give but sacrificed because she gave all. There was a provision for widows survival in the Jewish law at that time. Also, the widow did not become rich after that offering.

In our time, it is a burden and fraud asking casual workers in factories to give the entire January salary when they are yet to settle outstanding debts & commitments by telling them that's the only way for their heaven to open for abundance. It is a fraud.

You people lack the spirit of God, that's why you can't understand his words because they are spiritually discerned.

You say no one gave money to God. How come Proverbs says we should honor God with all our increase i.e anything that we earn which includes money?

Proverbs 3:9
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the
firstfruits of all thine increase:
