THE

BOOK OF THE BEGINNING.

However, this is not quite different the first Instruction given to Man from the very Point of Creations. According to the Holy Scriptures,

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the Sea and over the Fowlof the air and over every Living thing that moveth upon the Earth. Genesis 1:28.

Page 4: Economic Relevance of the Church in the 21st Century

The New American Standard Bible noted;

God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be Fruitful and Multiply, and Fill the Earth, and Subdue it; and Rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the Sky and over every living thing that moves on the Earth.”

According to this Words, we have been called to EXECUTE the following TASKs;

MULTIPLY (ECONOMIC EXPANSION). FRUITFULNESS (PROFIT). FILL THE EARTH (BRAND EXTENSION). SUBDUE (CONTROL). RULE (POLITICAL RELEVANCE).

Economic Expansion.

Without going too Far, the Challenge here is that How many Companies owned by Christians have Expanded and Survived 2-Generations.

Page 7: Economic Relevance of the Church in the 21st Century

To get a Pay-cheque in any of these Companies is not the Testimony, To own them to declare God’s Glory is the Testimony.

The Bible records of Mr. Job who single-handedly Controlled the Economy of the Eastern Market. According to the Biblical Forbe’s, Mr. Job is single-handedly Worth (apart from Joint Ventures and other Partnerships)*

7,000 Sheeps. 3,000 Camels. 500 Yoke of Oxen. 500 she-Asses. A high-profiled Labour Force. *Personal Opinion.

In Job’s days, Economic Assets were measured in Physical Possessions like Cattle, Gold and Silver and Labour Force.

Unfortunately, none of these Influential Men Bow or have

Publicly acknowledged the Lord Jesus Christ as King.

As a Christian, I think the Power they Possess is too MUCH!

But these are the Tutors and Custodians the Bible talked about in Galatians 4.

Spiritual Wickedness in high Places”

To think that this Battle is about Casting out Demons is a

Complete Misconception.

To think that the main Enemies are Witches and Wizards as Branded in most Nollywood and Christian Movies is a Mistaken & Faulted Hypothesis.
