 It is no question of correspondence in kind, but it may be spiritually also and so much the better. (Notes on 2 Corinthians 9:1-7 by W. Kelly)
 His point is simple: if we sow with a sparing hand in our giving, our reaping will be sparse; conversely, if we sow with a liberal hand, our blessing will be bountiful. It takes faith to see and to act on this....Paul does not exactly say that the giver will reap in temporal wealth, but in “blessing.” This could be in a spiritual sense, as well as temporally. (The Principles in Giving: 2 Corinthians 8:10-15 and Chapter 9 by B. Anstey)

a
"Blessing." The sense is plain, though the word is unusual. I note it in view of verse 6. It is the spirit in which a man gives. as God gives, freely to bless, so ought we. and such as so give shall so reap from him.

But this [I say], he that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth in blessings shall reap also in blessings;
