Giving of of offerings and contribution should be voluntary. It should come out
of one's heart's decision,it should not be forced on any one and it should be done without grudge and with out necessity 2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV) Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. Giving should be done according to one's conscience.

Donation is church should be a freewill thing,it is your right to pledge what you can afford.

And there should not be fixed prices for any thing in church, it should be voluntary. Some people even disguise fixed price for baptism, confirmation and donation as offerings but this is very wrong. Wether big or small,rich or poor, everyone has a will and right towards contributing voluntarily.

It is better to have offering box on the front so that any one who wishes or who is willing can go out and give

In the true church, given contribution or offerings are used for good reasons and such as 1: for electric bill payment 2: internet 3: rent for space (halls) 4: for restroom material
5: paying for radio station service It is not used by the pastor.

In the case of ananaias and his wife,we were urged not to lie against GOD and the HOLY SPIRIT. If we know we cant keep a promise or fulfill a vow pledged,we shouldn't even make or pledge in the first place. Remember that vow or promise not kept is a debt and a sin.

We are to do good,share what we have to others,praise GOD with our lips in singing and praising GOD Hebrews 13:15-16 (KJV) By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

GOD bless you all.
