The Negro's church,.

78 The Negro's Church
up his sacrifice to God. He said all the families of the earth will
be blessed but you notice that man tries to overcome his brother
and make him his servant. That spirit came up from the days
of Cain. The twelve sons of Jacob had enmities. Because Joseph
was well loved by his father, the other brothers wanted to get rid
of him; but you know God Almighty has always kept his promise
to his children and will protect them. I tell you what worries
me is to hear a man get down on his knees and tell God what he
intends to do. God stands by his promises. I'll tell you another
thing about God. God always takes care of the church. The
church is always above the man. But I tell you what I believe
in, I believe that the church of God will roll on when that man
is on his way to hell. When Joseph was well favored by his
father, his brothers plotted against him. Those brothers sold him
into captivity, but God took care of Joseph just as he takes care
of his church.
Regardless of where we may be, God almighty is able to take
care of us. The Egyptians made the Israelites their servants and
made them labor under hard task masters, and today the same
thing that caused Israel to live under a hard task master is causing
you to live also under a hard task master. And this is sin. But
I will tell you that God almighty always had a man to stand by
his cause.
Another thing I like about my God. Every way you turn and
cry, you know God will hear that cry. I will tell you what my
Father will do for you if you have faith in him. He will make
a friend for you right in your enemy's house. This Negro race
up from the beginning was oppressed and burdened down, but
God almighty gave the Negro a friend right in the white man's
house. God is waiting for the Negro race to get to the place
where they can stand prosperity. God is waiting until we can
stand to have something. God is waiting for us to equal up to
any nation, so that he can bless us as he has blessed them. The
trouble with the average nation, they don't acknowledge God.
Men say they go to church. They get in their cars and go all day
Sunday, but if God Almighty had kept them poor, they would
have been in church that Sunday morning.
So my brothers and sisters God Almighty always has somebody
