Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing, and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.”
So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing,

According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.
GOD TOLD ABRAHAM THAT HE WOULD BE THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS
GOD TOLD REBEKAH THAT THE ESAU WOULD SERVE JACOB
GOD TOLD DAVID THAT HE WOULD BE KING
GOD TOLD SOLOMON TO BUILD HIM A HOUSE OR TEMPLE
GOD TOLD ISAIAH THAT A VIRGIN WOULD CONCEIVE
THESE THINGS ALONG WITH COUNTLESS OTHERS IN THE WORD
EXPRESS GOD’S WILL
LOOK AT WHAT GOD CALLS FOR US TO DO

17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about?
10 Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.

22 “You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.

“Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.
For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.
7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

They came, both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry of gold, that is, every man who made an offering of gold to the Lord. And every man, with whom was found blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, goats’ hair, red skins of rams, and badger skins, brought them. Everyone who offered an offering of silver or bronze brought the Lord’s offering. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. All the women who were gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. And all the women whose hearts stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair. The rulers brought onyx stones, and the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate, and spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.

Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.
AS IN DAVID’S CASE AND IN OURS WE ARE JUST GIVING BACK WHAT YOU HAVE GIVING US

TODAY WE SHOWED UP AND WORKED
WE ARE JUST GIVING BACK THE TALENT HE GAVE US
TODAY WE SHOWED UP AND WORKED AND GAVE
WE ARE JUST GIVING BACK THE TREASURE HE GAVE US
TODAY, YOU MAY HAVE SHOWED UP AND WORKED, GAVE, AND SURRENDERED

THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES TO GOD
BECAUSE YOU OWE HIM (1 Corinthians 6:20 you have been bought with a price)
WHO ARE CONTINUOUSLY PRESENTING YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE
SURRENDERED LIFE PRODUCES A WILLING MIND
