offering

Posted by Yesha - 15/07/08 at 01:07:58 pm

Do you attend church every Sunday? You have lots of schedules but do you have at least one day for God?How often do you talk to God?Do you talk to him when you have problems only or when you are struggling?If you are attending church,do you give money to your church whole-heartedly? I want to share this topic to all of you….

2 Corinthians 9:7
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Giving is meant to be a joyful expression of thanks to God from the heart, and not a legalistic obligation.The value of our offering is not determined by how much we give, but how we give.In God’s eyes, the value of the offering is not determined by the amount of the offering.Our attitude in giving is what is most important to God.

Here’s a situation:
A rich man gave big amount of money in offering and there is also a poor man who gave a very small amount.God knows the poor man has put more into the treasury than all the others.Gave out of his wealth,but he,out of poverty, put in everything—all he had to live on..God watches what and how we give.God not only cares about the quality of our gifts to him, but also the manner in which we offer them.God doesn’t want us to be overly concerned with how our offering is spent.

Although we should do what we can to ensure that the churches and ministries we give to are good stewards of God’s money, we can’t always know for certain that the money we give will be spent correctly. We should not be overly burdened with this concern. Nor should we use this as an excuse not to give.

It’s important for us to find a good church that is wisely managing its financial resources for Gods’ glory and for the growth of Gods’ kingdom. But once we give to God, we don’t need to worry about what happens to the money. This is Gods’ problem to resolve. If a church leader or ministry misuses its funds, God knows how to deal with it.

The picture of our financial giving simply reveals a reflection of our lives surrendered to God.Come to think of it now!!!!

We rob God when we fail to give offerings to him.

Give 10% of your money to God.
This is already proven that it will come back to you triple or even more.
When you give with all your heart,Surely God knows your intention.
And you might want to experience this great feeling!

I love this post soo much…
This is very true. God knows us…everything about us. He doesn’t espect us to be successful nor rich…He just wanted us to submit our self to him.

“Exercise your Faith; Walk with God.”

burn out bright,

I always attend the mass every Sunday, with my parents.
Since the church is just a few steps away from our house, there’s no reason for me not to go to the church. xD

I can say that my family is really devoted to God,
maybe that’s why we’re being blessed. )

Man. I feel so guilty. I go to church every Sunday only because my Mom requires me to do it. And when I’m there, I usually don’t listen. :c

Comment by Fia — July 19, 2008 #
Yeah i dont fail when it comes to giving offerings.
It’s very important for me cause God is the one who’s giving us everything we need. And our tithes is one of the easiest way of giving back to Him.

Great post Ate Yesha. God bless yah!
