2. Giving 1. Give Your Tithes and Offerings
Sometimes, It’s Hard to Give to the Lord (e.g. hard times, but also in good times).
Don’t Withhold Money From the Lord!
Lay Up for Yourselves Treasures in Heaven, NOT on Earth.

3. Giving “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the vwindows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it” (Malachi 3:8-10, NKJV).

4. Giving 2. Give as the Lord has Prospered You.
Giving is Not According to How Rich or Poor You are,
But As the Lord has Prospered You.
”On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper” (1 Cor. 16:2, NKJV).

5. Giving 3. Give According to Your Means.
“For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will . . .
but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us” (2 Cor. 8:3-5, ESV).

6. Giving 4. Give Beyond Your Means.
“For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will . . .” (2 Cor. 8:3-5, ESV).

7. Giving 5. Give Of Your Own Free Will.
“For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will . . .
but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us” (2 Cor. 8:3-5, ESV).

8. Giving 6. Give Yourself First to the Lord
“For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means . . .
but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us” (2 Cor. 8:3-5, ESV).

9. Giving 7. Give Generously and You Will Reap Generously.
“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[d] will also reap bountifully” (2 Cor. 9:6).

10. Giving 8. Give What You Have Decided to Give.
