In practical
terms, building and sustaining the economic life of local communities is largely
contingent upon the efforts put forward by religious leaders. This was an
emphatic message delivered by Mr. Obadiah Tohomdet an excellent compelling
business speaker and CEO of Simans Strategic Communications Ltd Abuja, during a
mini business and economic meeting with Church leaders held during the annual
Easter Crusade in Kagu, Pankshin Local Government. Barr. Tohomdet spoke
passionately about the need for churches to encourage their members to engage
in small-scale businesses so they can practically support the growth of the
church and become enterprising people committed to building a better society. He
further stressed on the need for churches and their leaders to diversify the
economy of churches and follow strictly the principles of making money in a godly
way. “Prayers alone can’t help you to make money. It is fundamentally about
following the blueprint and principles in order to become economic growth contributors
for posterity sake.” The Easter Crusade took place in Kagu from Thursday 18th
to Saturday 20th 2019 and had Evangelist Judah Bedima as guest
preacher. It was an opportunity to draw people closer to God through the word
of faith and prayers in Mupun Land. For the past 8 years and counting, the
Crusade Team with its leader Mr. Obadiah Tohomdet has been on the frontlines of
championing the gospel of God throughout Mupun Land. The Meeting with the
leadership of CAN (Kagu Branch) and other church leaders became a forum for the
sharing of ideas and moulding opinions to facilitate the economic development of
Kagu and Mupun Land.

The massage is right on point, but unfortunately many of our Church leaders tend to kill such initiatives rather than encourage them. The sad experience my team encountered some years back, when we rolled out such an initiative to uplift the economic well being of our members at the COCIN Church Dashik, Dadin Kowa Jos, through a well laid out Cooperative Society is a sad reflection of the negative influence of Church leaders who do not have a good grasp of what a holistic evangelism entails.
Indeed, the light of the gospel should foster development.
This is quite true. I belief this will be best be accomplished in the context of discipleship. May God give us the wisdom to achieve this dream.
