Is there monetary minimum and an equivalent in produce? From the story of Cain and Abel I believe that a sacrifice could be unacceptable

1cor16:1-2:-
1Now concerning the collection for the saints,as I have given order to the churches of Galatia,even so do ye
2Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store as God has prospered him,that there be no gathering when I come.

2cor9:7
Every man according as he purposes in his heart,so let him give;not grudgingly or of necessity:for God loves a cheerful giver.

concerning the Case of Cain and Abel.
It was not that Cain offering was not good,but Abel came with something that Cain did not have.

Know that it is impossible to please God without faith.
Heb11:6:-
But without faith it is impossible to please him,for he that comes to God must believe that he is,and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him


Heb11:4

By faith,Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifce than Cain,by which he obtained witness that he was righteous,God testifying of his gifts,and by it he being dead yeat speaks.

you stylishly buying coke for your pastor nii??

Depends on what you have. For me, when i have, 100 is minimum as a student.

Back when I could still be addressed by the title 'christian' I used to give #10 or less, I always made sure to have "change" as I didn't see any reason why I should give to a pastor wealthier than myself or a god that supposedly didn't eat, drink nor need money, just didn't make sense. Infact, the major reason why I gave at all was so I'm not the only one seated on the row when others had gone to give.

Looking back eh, I realise I always wanted to make sense of the things said before I believe it and I never believed god needed money, "thank God" I found my true calling in time.

Hallelujah, amen.

Your ''substance'' should be the minimum and not your ''remnant''. What you give should be substantial. Imagine the difference between giving a full sheep and let's say the sheep's head during biblical times. Substance should be substantial unlike your remnant.
