2 Corinthians 9:6-7: "Remember this: He who sows little will reap little, and the one who sows a lot will be harvesting a lot. Each one gives as determined in his heart, not with regret or obligation, for God loves Who gives with joy. " Paul encourages Christians to be generous in their donations, not by obligation, but because it is an expression of love and gratitude to God.

Proverbs 3:9-10: "Honor the Lord with all his resources and the first fruits of all his plantations; his barns will be fully full, and their barrels will overflow with new wine."

" God challenges his people to be generous in their tithes and promises to bless them abundantly in return.
