“Anybody that is teaching you to give out the first fruit of your earnings is doing that out of selfishness” – Pastor Abel Damina reveals

The Presiding Pastor of Power City International, Dr. Abel Damina said the doctrine of giving the first fruit offering which many churches adopt is unscriptural, and therefore it is wrong. The Cleric made this statement during his recent call-in question and answer session.

In response to the question, ‘What is the interpretation and application of the first fruit of one’s earnings? The Cleric said there is no record of such a thing in the Bible. “Anybody that is teaching you to give out the first fruit of your earnings is doing that out of selfishness. Such a person hides under religion to exploit you”.

According to the Cleric, the first fruit has nothing to do with money. Instead, it is used in the Bible as a language of communication to show that Jesus Christ is our first fruit, the first to rise from the dead. “Jesus Christ is the first fruit of all those who died, His resurrection is the first fruit. Also, a person that gets born again in a particular church is part of the first fruit in that church”.

Speaking further, Dr. Damina said you should not give anybody your money in the name of the first fruit. However, if you believe in a ministry and you are blessed by that ministry, you can willingly give to support that ministry, but not as a first fruit.
