From an ecclesiastical perspective in view, we realise that generous giving to the work of the Lord leads to multiplied blessings over one’s life.
It is a great and positive thing to contribute towards divine work.
One should never fail to fulfill a promise made to support the work of the Lord.
There is no spiritual reward for making a promise to the Lord that is not kept.
People that have seen a multiplied blessing over their lives for years are people that have been giving generously to the work of the LORD.
Biblical examples show that people gave immediately when commanded to provide an offering and that giving should be done without hesitation.
Offerings are not strictly limited to monetary contributions.
The Lord honors what an individual purposes in their heart to give.
Consistent generosity is a common trait among those who experience long-term blessings.
The act of giving is directly linked to seeing the blessing of the Lord and when The LORD commanded Moses to tell the Israelites to bring an offering to him for the construction of the TARBANCLE and other Holy utensils in view.. the people gave honourably Exodus 35:4-10[4]And Moses said to all the congregation of the Israelites, This is what the Lord commanded:5]Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing and generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s offering: gold, silver, and bronze;
[6]Blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], fine linen; goats’ hair;[7]And rams’ skins tanned red, and skins of dolphins or porpoises; and acacia wood;
[8]And oil for the light; and spices for anointing oil and for fragrant incense;[9]And onyx stones and other stones to be set for the ephod and the breastplate.
[10]And let every able and wisehearted man among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:
