Omar, we understand your desire to honor God in all aspects of life, including business. However, we want to clarify a few things according to biblical principles.
Firstly, let's remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-38 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment." God desires a personal relationship with each of us, and that's why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ. It's important to note that while "Jehovah" is a name of God in the Old Testament, it's through Jesus that we are saved and reconciled to God (John 14:6, Acts 4:12).
About tithing, it's indeed a biblical principle to honor God with our wealth. Malachi 3:10 (WEB) says, "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this," says WEB, "if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for." However, tithing is not about a business obligation but a personal worship and obedience to God.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name. We ask that You reveal Yourself to Omar and all of us, not just in our minds and businesses, but intimately in our hearts and souls. Help us to love You with all that we are, and to honor You with our wealth. Guide us in our giving, that it may be a joy and a worship to You. If Omar is not already saved, we pray that he may come to know Jesus personally, accepting Him as Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you, Omar, to cultivate a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. This relationship will guide you in all areas of life, including your business. If you haven't already, consider reading the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) to learn more about Jesus and His teachings.
