MESSAGE.
Church is a gathering of the saints from different cultural background, literate, illiterate, industrious, employed, unemployed individual etc are all in the church for one challenge or more to be solved.
“And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13), the scripture exposized the role of business investment in the church, enlargement, taking territory etc which involves the particular personality or establishment to be highly responsible in the area of solving problem and bring solution to a long-time challenge and unproductiveness in the church and society.
Church having business arm or outlet is not forbidden and there is nowhere in the bible or scripture that God is frown at that very idea, it’s also one of the brilliant and intelligent ways of saving souls.
This is totally different from converting a supposed place of worship to a business venture.
”Enlarge the place of thy tent and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes “(Isaiah 54:2), church expansion is one of the major and crucial work of the church and business ideology is one of the hooks to draw out the souls from the net of satanic wretchedness.
Church also needs a strong financial structure to be able to fulfill her obligation and contribute immensely to the development of the society and the nation with sanctity and kingdom credibility intact.
It is totally wrong and biblically unacceptable when some are condemning the spread of some ministry because of the little fraction of land such are occupying for souls gathering to worship God, the place is not big yet compare to the numbers of souls littering the street of the world without being saved.
Recently I discovered some individuals are talking about the new church auditorium of a particular ministry in Nigeria, that the church should have make that particular space of land a factory so people can be employed, it is good to have unemployed employe, it is biblical and our collective responsibility in the society, from the government seat to the list in the nation.
But this particular ministry some ignorant individuals are intentionally black naming have more than three universities in the nation, which is one of the businesses are of the great ministry and other credible investment like that.
This particular ministry has more than 33,000 constant employees on their salary payrolls, which is more than some state of the nation business responsibility and timely expanding because of growth.
Church having a business investment is good and a way to be a blessing to the people in the society and contributing immensely to the growth of the nation.
There are some ministries that the ministers of God are not fully respected because of the low contribution of such individual to the saints and community etc.
The church is the biggest place in the world, to feed both flesh and spirit of man for the divine orderliness of God on the earth which objective is to save and sustain the people in the society.
TO BE CONTINUED.
LET US PRAY.

2. Oh Lord, destroy every evil practicality against the growth and expansion of the church in Jesus name.
3. Oh Lord, destroy evil imagination and prospect of the devil against the church in Jesus name.
