It is time to wise up, and set forth financial guidelines for financially support that promotes character, integrity and ethics in handing money and taking up offerings for the work of the ministry. –(1 Tim. 6:9-12, 3:3)
Servants of the Lord should not get rich off the offering, there should be a set amount giving to the servants of the Lord, then the rest going to the work of the ministry. If a church increases in members or a ministry increases in favor with people, and the flow of financing increase, the servant’s honor should not increase, instead the support for the work of the ministry should increase. The servants of the Lord should be paid reasonable honors. –(1 Tim. 5:17-18, 1 Cor. 9:11,13,14)
If the servants of the Lord have alternative financially support or support from written books, etc and come into wealth that is another thing and they are free to do so. –(Deut. 8:18)
A church ministry or a church should setup a board of financial accountably, with season believers and ministers, who don’t control the budget, instead set the budget and honor support of the servants of the Lord, and then inform the members of the financial budget. This board is a symbol of trust and openings, however this board does not control the spiritual leadership or the servants of the Lord. –(Heb. 13:7,17)
When taking up the offerings, we must have the freedom of giving; this is why we must establish the grace giving system to increase the freedom of giving and the freedom of financial blessings. This is why from time to time, once a year to teach on the power of grace giving, and then to every new believer to teach them on the power of grace giving in the membership class. –(2 Cor. 8, 9)
