I Corinthians 16:1,2
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the
churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every
one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no
gatherings when I come. Paul told the church in Corinth to keep up the
offerings each Sunday so that when he would come, they would have a good amount
already gathered up to send to the suffering Christians in Jerusalem. Paul
would take up one big offering and take it to the Christians who were being
persecuted by the Jewish leaders. God had blessed the church in Corinth and
they were to pass their wealth on to their suffering brothers and sisters in
Jerusalem. And that is exactly what we should do. Work hard. Save all you can.
Give all you can. Be a blessing to all that you can. And God will bless you!
