Cheerful giver


Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV

Giving of tithes and offerings in church has gathered a lot of debate for a very long time. Let us not forget that giving is an act of righteousness and we have been instructed on how to give. When we give we should do so secretly so that our Father who sees what is done in secret will reward us. If you announce your giving and people honour you, then honour is your reward for giving.

Paul taught that everyone should give as he is able and as he has purposed in his heart. The topic of money is very sensitive because everyone does not have an equal share of it. When we give we should do so out of love and with a cheerful heart for God loves a cheerful giver. Money is important in ministry as with every other aspect of living. Give as you are able and do not give grudgingly or out of necessity. Some will make you feel guilty so that you give more than you are able but you have to be wise.
