2. Kingdom Promotion Giving.

There are to forms kingdom promotion giving which are free-will offerings and the kingdom demand offerings.
§ Free-will offering.-is coming before the Lord with something in your hands to appreciate His goodness upon your life. This is giving as you will. This is described in depth on my introduction.

( St.Mathew 5:23-King James Version)
23. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

(Mathew 5:23-New Living Translation)
23. “So if you are standing before the altar in the Temple, offering a sacrifice to God, and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you;
· The scripture implies that there is a gift which you bring to the altar, each time you go to church.
· That implies that you make a deliberate choice as to what (in terms of quality and quantity) you bring to the altar, thus free will.

(Deuteronomy 16:16-17-King James Version)
16. Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the Lord empty.

17. Every man shall he give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.

(Deuteronomy 16:16-New Living Translation)
16. “Each year every man in Israel must celebrate these three festivals: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Harvest, and the Festival of Shelters. They must appear before the Lord your God at the place he chosen on each of these occasions, and they must bring a gift to the Lord.

17. All must give as they are able, according to the blessings given to them by the LORD your God.

· Every believer in church is to bring a gift because appearing without is an abuse of the privilege.
· Giving is to be done by everyone in the kingdom.

“I don’t have is a sign of self inflicted curse”-By Bishop David Oyedepo

· Everyone is to give according to the measure of their faith.

§ Kingdom Demand Offerings or Sacrifices-these are offerings given for the kingdom sake, by reason of kingdom demands and opportunities that come your way.

(Exodus 35:4-5-King James Version)
4. And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israels, saying.This is the thing that the Lord commanded saying.

5. Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,

(Exodus 35:4-5-New Living Translation)
4. Then Moses said to all the people, “This is what the LORD has commanded.

5. Everyone is invited to bring these offerings to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze

· These are offerings commanded to be given in church either towards a particular project or any other need. This usually comes as an instruction from God to the prophet to instruct the saints to give to God.
