Top 5 Pastors in Nigeria who are Business Savvy and Worth Listening to for Business Insights
One of the grievous errors of this generation is assuming that God is uninterested or has nothing to say about other aspects of our lives apart from religion. When it comes to the issues of money, sex, etc. for instance, many people won’t think of going to the bible, or to a servant of God (the 2 being the closest physical representatives of God). However, the Bible which is the word of God is full of teachings and words from God that cuts across every aspects of our lives – including business. Furthermore, if God has something to tell us about business, it should not be thought impossible that He can use His men to pass across messages on any subject too. That is why I have decided to share with you about top 10 pastors in Nigeria who are business savvy and worth listening to for business insight.
