OFFERING
EXODUS 25:1-9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “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. 3 And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze; 4 blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair; 5 ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; 6 oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 7 onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. 8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. 9 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. 

The house of GOD, here to in Exodus 25 is referenced to as A Sanctuary. it is not where the persona GOD stays but where spiritual presence dwells. Moses is being ordered to instruct the children of Israel (Jacob) to give various kinds of offerings that are necessary and are required for the construction (building) of GOD's sanctuary.  

I want to highlight the reason for you and me:
Firstly, Why is the instruction?
God loves us so much that we were made according to his image(Genesis 1:26) for God to dwell with us He must in our presence and us in His. Thus God after the separation that happened after man sinned(Genesis 3), God still extended His hand to the children of Israel because of their Grandfather Abraham. The same  hand that God has extended to the children of Israel is still extended to you as well though Christ Jesus, when you accept Him in you Life. 

Secondly, Given specific to the children of Israel?
A man called Abram left everything and everyone and followed God without wavering, full of faith in GOD. God gave him a promise to bless him and to  make him a father not just a father of one or two children but the father of the whole world, you are also included in his children when you accept his grand child Christ Jesus in your life as your LORD and SAVIOR, For with Jesus a new Generation of Abraham's descendants begin that which was not of blood line but of the spirit.(Genesis 12:12). 
Thirdly, Why the willingness and not a must?
This is for God's children and even in Israel not all were believers. A willing person has a heart that is willing to receive but above all this God does not impose on any one. For this reason, to be born again you need to believe with your heart and declare with your mouth that "Jesus Christ is your LORD AND SAVIOR, that GOD raised him up from the DEAD " because this GOD is A God who sees the hearts of men. (Romans 10:8-13)   
Fourthly, Whats the benefit of offering? 
when you Give an offering towards the SANCTUARY(building) OF GOD you allow the presence of God in your Life, the preaching that proclaims his glory is enabled through this ministry of "A WORD OF GOD". 
YOUR GIVING ENABLE US TO STAND IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND INTERCEDES FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
