I don't think any of us can say what is God's will for another, unless it is a revelation from God for that person. In the new testament church, they gave as they saw a need, it seems. How would they know about the need if nobody was sharing their need.
Personally, God doesn't always supernaturally tell me someone has a need, sometimes I am too busy to hear I suppose, and I am grateful to be allowed to help when someone shares a need and God tells me I am the one to help.
On the other hand, I HAVE been the one that God has spoken to to give to someone that didn't share a need with anyone and they saw the miracle in it and that was good too.
Lets take it case by case, not try to make it some big theological thing that isn't in the Bible.
