♥ ADMINISTERING THE GIFT

2 Corinthians 9:1 – 5 shows the commendation of Apostle Paul about the Corinthians in their willingness to give like the Macedonians. Their readiness was evident in the believers at Achaia which stirred up other believers to make their financial contributions to the course of giving to the poor and needy in other Churches. On this premise, Apostle Paul did not leave any stone unturned and put measures in place to have a human resource team sent to the Corinthians for education and publicity purposes.

It had specific objectives of making the Corinthians believers understand giving willingly, freely and in generosity other than compulsion and grudgingly. This was the form in which Apostle Paul wanted the collections of monies as gifts received. He wanted them blessed and not just their monies as gifts. Besides, the other specific objective was to ensure readiness of the collections by the time Titus and his team arrived in Corinth. It revealed the urgency of the collections to serve the needs of fellow saints in other Churches. There is much to learn in the administration of the gift and therefore you have to read the details buddy.
