IN the NEWS - Paula's GREED

In their greed they will make up
 clever lies to get hold of your money.
 But God condemned them long ago,

2 Peter 2:1,3

"Popular televangelist Paula White is urging her followers to donate a "first fruits" offering of up to their entire salary for the month of January to enjoy "blessings" for the rest of the year or suffer the "consequences" of failing to follow God's command.
She explained the difference between the tithe, usually 10 percent of earnings, and the first fruit

donation.
"The difference between tithe and first fruit, first fruit is all of it," she told congregants at the New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "All of what? Well, if you want to bring God all of one day's salary, one week's salary or one month's salary, that's between you and God. ... I try to bring a month's salary, but at the very least every year I give God a week's salary."
And many of her followers join her in the first fruits campaign with "miraculous" results, she says.
"Every year many others join us and sow a month's pay, a week's pay, others give a day's pay, but everyone gives their best — the results are miraculous! First Fruits has impacted my life personally and the lives of countless others! But First Fruits is more than just an offering, it's a principle," she says, that is ordained by God.

"God claims the FIRST of ALL THINGS! It rightfully belongs to Him. When we apply the Principle of First Fruits, we see that all firsts should be given to the Lord: the first of the day, week (Sabbath), month, and the first of our harvest — be it the wages for the first day, week, or the month," she explains.

"It is the basis or underlying support for your success in 2018. It is GOD'S PRINCIPLE OF FIRST FRUITS. All Firsts belong to God. When you honor this principle it provides the foundation and structure for God's blessings and promises in your life, it unlocks deep dimensions of spiritual truths that literally transform your life! When you apply this everything comes in divine alignment for His plan and promises for you. When you don't honor it, whether through ignorance or direct disobedience there are consequences," White warns." CP
