Controversial media personality, Daddy Freeze has kicked against first fruit offering practiced in Nigerian churches. OAP Freeze in reaction to the annual offering said collection of
January salary from Christians as first fruit is a ‘Fraud from the pits
of hell’ which should be stopped.
According to him, first fruit is the Holy spirit received by Christians when they surrender to God.
On his YouTube channel, he said, “It is about love through Christ not
about listening to pharisees if you must obey the law you must obey all
of it.
“First fruit mentioned according to new testament in more than one
instance is the Holy spirit not your January salary as your pastors are
preaching .
“The disciples dint give first fruit but received the holy spirit as the first fruit.
“1cor 15:20 Jesus is referred to a the first fruit of the grave.
“James 1:18 refers to the fact that christian were the first fruit of all creation.
“first fruit has nothing with you giving your salary to fraudster on
the pulpit, it has everything to do with those who believe in God.
“The only manual for us is the bible and we walk with it, in Hebrews 7, none of the old law was a requirement again.
“Those of you obeying tithing from old commandment are committing sin
because you are not obeying other commandments of old testament which
is mandatory.
“You are committing sin because you have removed yourself from Jesus
Christ, you are obeying one commandment and disobeying other 600 plus
commandment.
“When you are under Christ, you absolve from all other laws.The
moment you obey one law, you must obey the rest. The fulfillment of
God’s law is death. Jesus came to fulfill the law not your job.”
