We need to understand that prosperity is not just a result. And besides, we can not live behind results, we can not worship God for what He does, but for what He is. We should not live on rewards, but even so, we are rewarded by the grace of God. Our life is made up of ups and downs, and we must worship God at all times, regardless of how our life is, the praise in our heart can not end. "Let every man contribute as he hath purposed in his heart, not with sorrow, or out of necessity, because God loveth a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9: 7). Contribute according to the heart is to give what your heart desires, to do a vote, is to take an attitude, but offer according to the conditions, that is, with what the pocket says. Also, what is your purpose in worshiping God? Worship by doing, or by thinking that He needs you? If you are thinking like this, repeat to my brother, ask God for forgiveness, because He does not need you! We who need it for everything!

"Why am I, and who are my people, that we might offer such things willingly? For everything comes from you and from what is yours." (2 Chronicles 29:14) I understand my brother, everything that we have come from God, and what we "offered" to Him, it was He who gave us also.

Everything you are going to do in life, you have to do for love, when you work, you receive the salary, but besides, you have to love what you do! So it must be for the things of God, you need to love to serve God! Live for God and not for rewards!
