2 Corinthians 9:6-7 Good News Translation (GNT) Remember that the person who plants few seeds will have a small crop; the one who plants many seeds will have a large crop. You should each give, then, as you have decided, not with regret or out of a sense of duty; for God loves the one who gives gladly.
Offerings should be one of the most JOYFUL times in the service. We should be joyful, hilarious, and glad Givers. This is the attitude that God loves. This should be taught to believers. Pastors must not be afraid to teach this. This is an important subject. Our attitude towards giving is important. We cannot and should not give with the wrong attitude: GRUDGINGLY.
JOY and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity (2 Corinthians 8:12). The amazing thing about the Macedonian believers was that they were not wealthy, but gave with overflowing joy. Their attitude was pleasing to God, and Paul used them as an example of hilarious giving.
1 Chronicles 29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with GREAT JOY. Hilarious giving. Thats how King David and the people gave (1 Chr 29:9). The word means more than cheery or cheerful. It was boisterous giving to the point of being rollickingly merry.
1 Chronicles 29:16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is ALL THINE OWN. I want to reiterate the truth that God owns everything, and we are his faithful stewards. We should give joyfully and faithfully.
Another way to say this is GIVING ENTHUSIASTICALLY (ZEAL KJV)2 Cor 9:2-3 I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give; and your ENTHUSIASM has stirred most of them to action. 2 Corinthians 9:2-3 GODS WORD Translation (GW)
I know how willing you are to help, and I brag about you to the believers in the province of Macedonia. I tell them, The people of Greece have been ready to send their collection since last year, and your enthusiasm has moved most of them to act. 3Ive sent my coworkers so that when we brag that youre ready, we can back it up.
