    1Cor.15.20 - But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the 👉firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
    Folks there's a difference between teaching what the bible says and using the bible to support your preconceived ideology. Apostle Paul said Christ is our first fruit.

      Read proverbs 3:9-10 again. God has not made it mandatory but has given us a choice of whether we want to honour him with our possessions and have his blessings or whether we want to selfishly use everything on ourselves and no blessings. God is faithful and his word is true. If he says he’ll bless, he’ll do exactly that! Have faith in Him. Giving to God and obeying him in all other areas of our lifes pleases Him.

      Great.
      1. But if it's not mandatory, why do some pastors threaten deacons and other leaders of the church to be dismissed for not paying tithes?
      2. Why do some churches issue tithes cards for believers and use them as a monitoring or assessment tool to ascertain the faithfulness of their congregants?
      Is the tithe paid to God or the church or to the Pastor?
      3. NB: We don't pay tithe or offering to be blessed but to help the church carrying out its activities especially winning souls and caring for the needy.
      Shalom!

Is it easy to obey God. No. I live in Bahamas and I am walking in the obedience of this instruction also. Obedience from the heart. Let us share the ways that God shows up for us.

      Did you know that there is a scripture that says if you do something anything and you doubt or lack faith about its doing, then for YOU it is sin? Amazing scripture I feel. It means that each of us has a personal walk in Christ that we are to live according to his promptings in our hearts. If you receive no such prompting to do certain things, just DONT! Continue to grow in Grace, if in fact, Christ is your portion. He is more than sufficient to try the reings of your heart and find and fine you innocent of guilty.

      You did not understand the teaching. It’s about you and your trust and faith in God. Everyone giving their firstfruit and/or paying tithes and who truly understands the meaning and power behind it, will tell you that they have been abundantly blessed because of them trusting God to bless everything else in their life. It is by faith and not by force. Where your heart is there is your treasure also.

      @thelinkeducationalsupports2949 6 місяців тому +2

      Going to the foodstore is a money grab. Going to the gas station is definitely a money grab. So I imagine it is a choice about who you will allow to "grab" your money. Except , God needs nothing from us. he is working to get us aligned so that He God can give back to us, press down shaken together and running over. This belief is born of FAITH without which it is impossible to please God. For a man must first believe that He exist and that He is a REWARDER of all those who diligently seek him. Have days of growing faith and let us pray for one another as we work out our salvation with fear and trembling before God.

Is it logical to the natural mind? No. And yet, when I obey here are but a few things that happen to me. 1) I go to foodstores and gather my goods to pay and leave. On the line absolute strangers say to the cashier, " I will pay for her groceries" and they absolutely do. 2) I sold a car once and in the interim( less than 7 days) someone became aware that I was without a car and gave me a jeep FREE/ no strings attached...Not begged for. (4 Runner). I have opened my front door to find groceries on my porch with envelopes containing money. Shall I go on? What is my point? I cannot outgive God.

      It aways amazes me how as a people we often sound like we are working to overturn everything another is saying. It is not the norm to hear someone comment on, the value of what another shares and then follow by adding to it. I will do that right now. You are 100 percent correct. Christ was the FIRST FRUIT in the context to which you refer. However, have you not researched the topic of FIRST FRUIT in the Old Testament? Tell me you have done so, prior to the writing. What have you found about its reference beyond Christ? I am eager to hear. Have a blessed day as we all grow in Christ if in fact you are a believer.and if you are not, that in Grace God will open your understanding so that you and I can grow exponentially in our understanding of the WHOLE COUNSEL of his word. I am still learning. Let us pray for God's guidance.
