Daddy Freeze kicks as Pastor Adeboye's son speaks on first fruit

Daddy Freeze has responded to a video shared by Leke Adeboye, the son of Pastor E.A Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG.

The video shows Leke Adeboye defending the collection of first fruit offering by his church which is usually paid by members with their January salary.

Reacting to the video, Daddy Freeze shared a lengthy post to show his disagreement with the premises upon which the first fruit doctrine is based.

He wrote on Instagram:

"Dear Leke Adeboye,

"The leader of the Free Nation in Christ greets you and brings glad tidings. I do appreciate your detailed explanation on the above topic but permit me to disagree with the premise upon which your doctrine is based.

"You described a scenario where an increase of 1 Naira was given as first fruit increase. Please as a Berean Christians described in the verse below:

Acts 17:11 And the people of Berea were more noble than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.

"These Christians were described as more noble than the Thessalonians, because they searched the scriptures daily, to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth, so kindly indulge us, show us where this first fruit increase is in the Bible so we can go and ‘search’ for it.

"You spoke of the First Fruit sacrifice that Abraham gave and you stated the instance of giving his son. Please explain to us with scriptural evidence how this became money, or don’t your church members have children to sacrifice like Abraham did?

"Abraham was given the sacrifice of a ram by God who counted his faith as righteousness for obeying him. This sacrifice of yours in my opinion is not in obedience to God, rather it’s the propagation of man made ideas as commands from God (Mark7:7), so it cannot be counted as righteousness.

Romans 4:3 New Living Translation For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”

"Furthermore, neither Christ nor the disciples gave any concession or command that required believers to pay first fruit, instead the New Testament clearly states that Christ is the first fruit of the grave, a sacrifice from God himself to the believers who are now his priests, suggesting that first fruit is money rejects the sacrifice God gave us and puts Christ once again to public shame by nailing him to the cross. (Hebrews6:6)

1 Corinthians 15:20 New International Version But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep".
