Adeboye to business owners: Draw close to God

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has advised business executives to draw closer to God for lasting success without sorrow. He spoke last Sunday during a special service for business executives and owners. Adeboye said they will experience unusual breakthrough in life and business by dedicating their lives to God and following His pathways. X-raying the committed life of King Solomon despite his adulterous background, Adeboye noted that he showed appreciation to God for the past and expressed gratefulness for the present. He told the business owners: “Thank God for the present so that your future can be glorious.” The cleric said the wisdom of God stood Solomon out, asking the business owners to also seek for divine direction that will make them outstanding. Adeboye challenged the congregation not to relent in seeking for wisdom that will bring about promotion in their chosen careers. He pointed out that all Solomon requested for was not for selfish interest but “to serve God”. This, he said, should be the ultimate of all Christians in business. Speaking to reporters after the service, the chairman/chief executive officer, Shebah Oil Services Ltd, Joseph Adenuga, said only business men with the fear of God can deliver quality services and resist the temptation of cutting corners. According to him: “When we get it right in the spiritual angle, we can do better in the physical things. “The services we render must be done in a friendly manner such that they add value for the exchange. “Quality service should be rendered to those who demand for it, with the fear of God as guideline because whatever we do unto fellow human beings is directly unto God.” He added: “If we are going to succeed in anything in the world, we must have an ally. And the greatest ally is God and doing things in God’s way will definitely bring an impact.”
