    This teaching centres on giving and contributions to the church.

    In giving, 2Cor. 9:7 says we should give willingly as we have decided in our mind. Our giving should not be decided by the pastor, but willingly, not grudgingly because God loves a cheerful giver.

    In 1Cor. 8:3, Apostle Paul said the Macedonians gave on their own accord. Contributions should be voluntarily, not like some churches that fix prices on baptism and confirmation, and even give receipt for contributions.

    In Mark 12:42, a poor widow approached an offering box to give voluntarily. The box was not taken to her like some do. Some even give with an envelope with their names written.

    Apostle Paul encouraged the Christians in 1Cor. 16:1-4 to get their offerings ready before his arrival. The church needs these contributions to take care of bills of electricity, satellite and to take care of the poor, including propagation of the Gospel.

    In Phil. 4:15-16, Apostle Paul commended the Philippian Christians who attended to his needs voluntarily.

    An example of a freewill donation is that made by Joses, also known as Barnabas in Acts 4:36-37. He sold his land and brought the proceeds to the apostles.

    Another way we can give voluntarily is by making a vow. In Ps. 116:18, David said he would pay his vow to the Lord in the presence of his people.

    Heb. 13:15-16 encourages us to give sacrifices of praise to God continually. As we offer the sacrifices of Thanksgiving and the friut of our lips, we should not forget to do good.

    The three things involved are: giving praise, doing good works and giving our contributions.

    And in Mt. 6:2, Jesus advised we should not advertise our contributions as hypocrites do. Our contributions should be done secretly.
