VIDEO: South African based Nigerian pastor demands members to surrender entire January salary to him as first fruit, assures them of reaping big before year end 

 

Church members of New World Faith Ministries have been asked to surrender their entire January salary to the pastor as a condition of reaping big before the year end. 

 

The pastor making the demand is Anosike John, the Senior Pastor of the church which is based in Cape Town, South Africa.  

 

He said as their spiritual father, it was his right to appropriate their January salary to himself because it is the symbolic first fruit the Bible talked about.

 

First fruit is an ancient Jewish tradition which drew its origin from the Bible. It was a type of sacrificial offering done every harvest season where the first-grown fruits were brought to the Temple and laid by the altar, and a special declaration recited. The person making the sacrifice will still have the remainder of the fruits to sustain themselves. But in the case of January salary being given as first fruit, it is unclear how the supplicant can cope till the next salary. 

 

"Your January salary (First fruit of the year) is for me and not the church"
