Donald Trump‘s spiritual advisor is asking her followers to send
donations of up to one month’s salary money to her church as a “first
fruits” offering for the new year — and warns of “consequences” from God
if they don’t.
Paula White, the popular televangelist who heads the president’s
evangelical advisory board and delivered the invocation at his 2017
inauguration, wrote on her website Tuesday of the mission — which will
allegedly come with big rewards for those who pay up.
“Each January, I put God first and honor Him with the first of our
substance by sowing a first fruits offering of one month’s pay,” White
explained. “That is a big sacrifice, but it is a seed for the harvest I
am believing for in the coming year. And God always provides!”
The results, White claimed, are “miraculous” — whether her followers sow
a month’s pay, a week’s pay, or a day’s pay. “First Fruits has impacted
my life personally and the lives of countless others!” she wrote. “First
Fruits is more than just an offering … it’s a principle.”
A donation shopping cart is set up on White’s website, with all money
appearing to go directly to Paula White Ministries — her company that
helps helm her TV show, Paula White Today (among other things).
“When you sow a First Fruits Offering of $75 or more, I will rush to you
the book, the devotional and also a Paula White 2018 wall calendar!
Track throughout the entire year prioritizing God with me!” it says on
her website.
