Right, I undestand that the receiver may be blessed.
But the verse says in very clear language that that reciever would be even more blessed by giving it away again. That is, one never maximizes ones blessings by accepting a gift. Thus in a rational society, no gifts will ever be accepted.

I love the way Kirk and Nemesio abstain from this discussion. Heck, if the same message comes out of someone else's mouth, they just don't like it 😉

As both Darfius and RBHILL think that it is their sole vocation to tell people about living Christ-like

I am not here to please anyone but God.
Galatians 1:10c
If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

But if that is true, then what about the secrecy ?
If you are trying to keep your preaching secret then you are not doing a very good job. Still I would like - just for once - to praise you.

You really do seem to have a problem with sex. Kinda disturbing that you claim to be a preacher. Did you use to be a catholic preacher ?
