There's nothing like 'first fruit money' - Pastor Abel Damina tells Christians

Senior Pastor of Power City International, Abel Damina has criticized religious leaders who encourage their followers to donate money to the church under the pretenses of "sowing seed" and "first fruits." In a recent podcast episode, Damina stated that giving doesn't move God. He argued that instead of making financial contributions to the church, Christians should focus on expressing their gratitude to God through praise and worship.

Damina asserted that all these acts of giving, whether in the form of seeds or first fruits, are ineffective in moving God. He emphasized that it is the movement of God that allowed people to possess what they have today. Damina clarified that the concept of "first fruit money" is a misconception, as there is no such thing as "first fruit money." He explained that in both the new and old testaments, the first fruit point to Jesus.
