GIVING DECLARATIONS 

 

We are cheerful givers, we give willingly and freely because we know the benefits of giving. We give an offering because it is a sacrifice offered to God, an offering is not only money but worship and praise. However, in today’s society we make financial sacrifices to God. Why, because 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 says: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 

 

Each of us should give what we have decided in our heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Also because God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

 

In this church we also tithe according to Leviticus 27:30, “A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is holy.” And Proverbs 3:9 says, “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.”. Firstfruits is just a biblical way of saying that you should give first—before you do anything else with your money.

​

Malachi 3:10 says ‘Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
