Giving is not a compulsory religious act. God desires people to respond to Him out of hearts full of Love. He never wants to pressure any of us against our own free will.
2 Corinthians 9:7
The Word of God is very clear as to where we are to give our offerings. We are to bring our tithes and offerings to the storehouse, the local church, in which we worship. This is the place where we are fed, strengthened and grow. By faithfully bringing our gifts before the Lord, we are actually declaring that we put our confidence in Him and the leadership He has chosen for our church. We communicate our trust in their wisdom to dispense the money according to God’s ways.
Malachi 3:10
Some Christians only give their leftovers to the Lord. If they have any money left after paying all the bills (which is very rare) they give that to the Lord. God’s not interested in that type of offering. He wants the best part. He wants the first part. When this is given to the Lord, he promises to stretch the rest of our finances to meet our needs.
Proverbs 3:9-10
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Mark 12 illustrates a valuable parable of Jesus standing over the treasury watching how people cast their money into the offering box. Of all the givers there that day, His commendation went to a poor widow who did not have much at all, but she gave everything she had. She gave 100% into the house of God.
Mark 12:44
“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”
“They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
