2 Corinthians 9 o we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Why not tell us what you assume it to mean considering the meaning is made clear in the context that it is presented? undecided
6 Remember this: The one who plants few seeds will have a small harvest. But the one who plants a lot will have a big harvest.
7 Each one of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give. You should not give if it makes you unhappy or if you feel forced to give. God loves those who are happy to give.
8 And God can give you more blessings than you need, and you will always have plenty of everything. You will have enough to give to every good work.
9 As the Scriptures say, “He gives generously to the poor; his goodness will continue forever.”- Psalm 112 vs 9
10 God is the one who gives seed to those who plant, and he gives bread for food. And God will give you spiritual seed and make that seed grow. He will produce a great harvest from your goodness.
11 God will make you rich in every way so that you can always give freely. And your giving through us will make people give thanks to God. - 2 Corinthians 9 vs 6 - 11
By the way, Paul's opinions shed there are in reference to the teaching found in Psalm 112.
1 Great blessings belong to those who fear and respect the Lord, who are happy to do what he commands.
2 Their descendants will be given power on earth. Those who do right will be greatly blessed.
3 Their family will be very rich, and their goodness will continue forever.
4 A light shines in the dark for those who are good, for those who are merciful, kind, and fair.
5 It is good for people to be kind and generous and to be fair in business.
6 Such good people will never fall. They will always be remembered.
7 They will not be afraid of bad news. They are confident because they trust in the Lord.
8 They remain confident and without fear, so they defeat their enemies.
9 They freely give to the poor. Their goodness will continue forever. They will be honored with victory.
10 The wicked become angry when they see this. They grind their teeth in anger, but then they disappear. They will never get what they want most. - Psalm 112 vs 1 - 10
So, at least be sure of one thing. Paul was in no way encouraging you to give to your churches or the running of the businesses that your pastors rule over. Instead, Paul was encouraging the people to give to the needy, as God commands His followers to do. undecided
