Paula White, a prosperity gospel preacher with close ties to President Donald Trump, is calling on followers to send her donations of up to one months salary. Those who dont pay up could face consequences from God as he demands the dough as a first fruits offering.
The reason is God lays claim to all firsts, White wrote on her website. So when you keep for yourself something that belongs to God you are desecrating what is to be consecrated to God.
In this case, the firsts are money, which supernaturally unlocks amazing opportunity, blessing, favor and divine order for your life.
White, who is chairwoman of Trumps evangelical advisory committee, claims she contributes a months pay every year as a seed, which according to prosperity gospel is supposed to grow into riches and other blessings. Shes also calling on others to contribute their own firsts, in the form of wages for a day, week or entire month:

(1,202 posts)4. "consequences" so now spiritual leaders can call down curses?
If she didn't personally pocket the money...if she wrapped it all up in burlap sack and burned it as a sacrifice to God, she's still be a huckster.
I wonder if she could convince dom trump to give up a month's worth of income?

Rich notes some preachers just ask for your credit card number so they can save you the trouble of sending money to them.
IIRC some churches have ATMs in foyer for convenience of donating.
