An Offering To The Teachers For The Ministries

An Offering To The Teachers For The Ministries

An Offering this is one subject that I find rather hard to write about because I have said I would never beg for money or attempt to pressure anyone into giving to the Ministry. For that is not the reason for this at all what I am saying is what the Bible says about giving. Luke 6:38, 2 Corinthians 9:6. We have grown into a church, we come together to share and learn to help others that is what these groups are about…

2 Corinthians 9:1-4 (MEV) 1 It is redundant for me to write to you concerning the ministry to the saints. 2 I know your willingness, for which I boast of you to those in Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has stirred up most of them. 3 Yet I have sent the brothers, lest our boasting of you might be in vain in this case, that, as I said, you may be ready; 4 and lest if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.

2 Corinthians 9:6 (MEV) But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

2 Corinthians 9:12-14 (MEV) 12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the need of the saints, but is abundant also through many thanksgivings to God. 13 Meanwhile, through the performance of this ministry, they glorify God for the profession of your faith in the gospel of Christ and for your liberal sharing with them and with all others. 14 And in their prayer for you, they long for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

I have broken this part 2 Corinthians 9 into 3 parts Before The Offering,  The Offering, and After The Offering. That make sound strange however think about what Paul is talking about here. Verse 1  It is redundant for me to write to you concerning the ministry to the saints. I feel he is talking about knowing what to do and doing it.  Then in Verses 3 & 4; 3 Yet I have sent the brothers, lest our boasting of you might be in vain in this case, that, as I said, you may be ready; 4 and lest if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.  Here he is talking about doing it.

This ministry is no different it is not big as in property or in need however there are monthly things that have needs to keep it going and that is what this is all about and nothing else. Thank you all in advance for being a part of what our Father has called and given me to do…  This is the hardest Devotional or Article I have ever written I am not good at this at all, but I felt this is what the Lord through the Holy Spirit has told me to do…
