At Rhema Victory Church Int'l (RVC) we teach the biblical principle of stewardship. We believe that everything we have belongs to God and we are only looking after, or are stewards of, what He has given us. This is a wonderful, releasing principle and one which we encourage all to experience because we know God is no man’s debtor 2 Corinthians 9:6-8.
It is from this place of understanding that people who call RVC their home give regularly and generously in proportion to their income. Scripture teaches us how we should give:
- Generously 2 Corinthians 8:3
- Proportionally Mark 12:43-44
- Regularly 1 Corinthians 16:2
- With Faith Luke 6:38
- Cheerfully 2 Corinthians 9:7
- Privately Matthew 6:3-4
- Trusting Philippians 4:19
- As Worship 2 Corinthians 8:9
It takes resources to fulfil all that God has given us to do so let’s ask God what we can do to play our part in giving to the work of RVC. It is our practice to take an offering at every Sunday meeting. However, many give directly from their bank account by regular Standing Order. Tithing (giving 10% of our income) is a privilege that many of us at RVC are committed to.
