Can You Test God With Your Offerings?
Q: Could you explain the concept of “testing God with your offerings”? Does God “return favors” to us? Where is the line with the prosperity gospel in regards to offerings?
Dr. Michael Easley teaches from Philippians 4:14-19
“Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction.
You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.
Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
