Meal (Meat, Grain, Food) Offering

Giving money and material things is a spiritual sacrifice
(The freewill Meal Offering)

Under the Old Covenant there was no blood sacrifice with this offering. (Lev.2:1-2) It has nothing to do with atonement for sin, our trespasses or our consecration unto the Lord.
(Lev.2:1-2; 9:4,17; 14:10, 20, 31. Lev.25:6, Num.6:13-21, 1Kings8:4, Neh.10:33, Joel.2:14, Mal.3:10) It was the "fruit of the ground," it was a voluntary (Num.29:39) "Meat" (i.e. food)
offering made of fine flour. Even though it was not a blood sacrifice, it had to be offered on the Brazen Altar (Lev.2:2) and totally consumed with fire for a sweetsmelling savor, (Lev.2:2) It should also be noted that, there was no leaven allowed in this offering. (Lev.2:11)

1. Under the New Testament fulfillment
     This points to our own efforts, labor, good works of our hands. Whereas the animals that
     were sacrificed for the Sin, Trespass, Burnt and Peace offerings were none of Israel's doings.
     (Isa.62:8)
     a. Paul, the apostle and wise masterbuilder (architect -1Cor.3:10)
          He reads the blueprint of the Old Testament type and builds into the Church a clear distinction
          between  Salvation (The Sin Offering) and good works.(The Meal / Meat Food  Offering)
          (Eph.2:6-10, Matt.5:16, 1Tim.6:18, 2Tim.3:17, 1Peter.2:12) "For we are...created (Saved -
          2Cor.5:17) unto good works (The works of our hands)
     b. Don't be deceived
          Your "good  works" does not justify you before God. Only the sinless blood of Christ. (The Sin
          offering) justifies you before God. Col.1:14) You can cannot add anything to it. (Deut.12:32,
          Prov.30:5)

          Note: This is why there is no atoning blood sacrifice in the Meal (Meat, Food) Offering,
          because our righteousness is as "filthy rags." (Isa.64:6) "(that is in my flesh,) dwelleth no
          good thing:" (Rom.7:18)

2. Our good works (Meal / Food / Meat Offering) needs to be free of "leaven" (Lev.2:11)
     Leaven is a type of the weakness of our sinful human flesh. (Matt.16:6-12, Luke.12:1,
     1Cor.5:6-8, Gal.5:9)  ()The "leaven" of the Pharisees was a doctrine of hypocrisy.
     (Matt.16:12, Luke.12:1) They loved to do do their "alms" (compassionate) to be seen of men.
     (leaven) Here is a simple test. If you have giving something, and did not receive the recognition
     to you thought you deserved, or you want to control where that giving goes, you have just
     offered your Meal / Meat / Food Offering with leaven in it and it is a "blemished offering! (Note:
     Ananias and Sapphira. Acts.5:1-11)

3.  Our good works (Meal Offering) needs to remain on the Altar to be burned with fire. Our
     "alms" (good deeds) needs to put to the fire of the Word of God, to "see what sort (kind) it
     is." (1Cor.3:13) It is Gold, Silver and Precious stones or Wood, Hay and Stubble?

4.  Our good works (Meal Offering) needs to be "an odor of a sweet smell. a sacrifice
     acceptable, well pleasing to God." (Phil.4:15-18) That "odor of a sweet smell" is the
     preeminence of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph.5:1-2, Col.1:18; 3:17) The "meal offering" of
     Ananias and Sapphira did not have that "sweet smelling savour" of Christ (Eph.5:1-2) and
     was rejected. (Acts.5:1-11)

5. Watchout for the counterfeit Meal Offering Offering!
     There were false apostles coming into the Corinthian Church preaching "another Jesus."
     (2Cor.11:1-15) The Churches of Galatia were being "removed from...Christ unto another
     gospel..." and were perverting the gospel of Christ." (Gal.1:6-9) Any offering that ignores the
     true Altar, the sacrifice of Christ, the shedding of Christ's blood, the sweetsmelling savor and
     has any blemish, is another Jesus. The god of this world's counterfeit "Burnt Offering"
     (2Cor.4:4, Isa.14:14) Dedicating yourself to all kinds of causes (Note: 1Cor.13:1-3) thinking this
     will get you to heaven because of all dedication. The god of this world's  counterfeit "Meal
     Offering"(2Cor.4:4, Isa,14:14) Giving to causes and letting everyone know about on the
     nightly News, or some ribbon cutting ceremony acknowledging you gift.

There was standard requirements to offer each offering

The children of Israel called "the Church in the wilderness," (Acts.7:38) and their typical actions were "for our (The Church, the Body of Christ - Eph.1:22-23, Col.1:18) ensamples: (types) and
they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." (1Cor.10:1-11, Rom.15:4) The reality or the fulfillment (Matt.5:17-19, Rom.3:31, Heb.9:1-26) of these standards are the same for the Church today.

5. Blemishes are not mentioned
Not mentioned because our giving of material things and good works do not redeem us.
