Pastor Mike O'Mire preaches about who should come first when it comes to giving, sacrificing and tithing. He shows us in scripture how having things in the right order brings protection and provision.
Who is “The Poor”? who do you believe is poor people? I used to believe I was poor because I didn’t go to college or because my family wasn’t at the right place at the right time or worse of all because I was black. Many people who don’t have Money are following God; many of them have close relationships with Jesus Christ; and would rather go broke than to sin and stray from him. I want to read to you Zachariah 7:10 And oppress not the Widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor, and let none of you imagine Evil against his brother in your heart. Many people all over this planet are poor because they decided to stop Sinning and started following Jesus. This world oppresses many of us financially simply because we have turned away from the world and started following Jesus in complete obedience. I also want to read to you the very next verses Zachariah 7:11-7:12 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words of which the LORD of host hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of host. Many “Poor People” are that way because we refuse to take advantage of people. Many people are rich because they are willing to rob, steal, and kill for monetary gain.
