Do not be a part of the 5 foolish virgins of Matthew 25.

Right now the only way for us as believers and followers of Yeshua to have a relationship with Him as He has with us, to be one with Him we must live in His Word and listen to His Holy Spirit and fast and pray and seek His presence!
Our future is brighter as we will have new mansions in which fellowship with our Creator will be far more than what is possible now as sinful flesh is still a barrier to much of that relationship! By fasting and humbling ourselves we break down that barrier a little and we can get closer to Yeshua and hear His Spirit and voice.
It is at these times He is best able to reach us and teach us His will for us and is when He reveals to us the secrets of His Word, words that were sealed long ago by His prophets. All we have need of is in His Word and it is only by His Holy Spirit that we can have sound doctrine and as such the responsibility, the onus, is on us as individuals to have that relationship with Yeshua by His Holy Spirit teaching us all Truth regarding Yeshua!
To trust mankind to bring you that message is to bring a curse upon yourself as according to God's Word in Jeremiah 17:5 (Jer 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. )
If you trust God above all in all things and He is the first One you turn to for everything and anything no matter how small you may regard it then your heart will not depart from Him as He is your all in life! And if He is your all in life you will never turn to man for his opinion regarding a matter of scripture or morality or doctrine or anything for that matter!

You should really allow people to give by way of voting. Being a good giver is also about being able to receive.

Besides that, it will add extra motivation for you to continue your work for God.

Just as the salvation Yeshua provided for us is free so is His Word! Any who would attempt to make financial gain from God's Word will stand before Him to justify their actions. Money belongs to mammon and will never be what motivates me! Only Yeshua and He being the Truth will ever motivate me to do what is right and not self serving. So for the work I do for God I will never seek financial compensation as I know He looks after me regardless of money! When did Yeshua ever use money? To pay Caesar's tax but as He told us pay Caesar what's due him and pay God that which is due to God which means our ALL. Being a good giver is also not just about money and finances but about giving love including to those who do not deserve it. The greatest gift you can give people is Yeshua and salvation through Him. Remember, (John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
John 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. )
