Anointed For Business
Book
by Ed Silvoso
Most of the leaders of the Early Church were community leaders and successful business people. The writing of the Gospels was entrusted to a medical doctor, a retired tax officer, a food supplier and the trustee of a family trust. Then there were tentmakers Priscilla and Aquila...food purveyors Peter, James and John...and Paul taught day and night while holding a full-time job. Of the 22 power encounters recorded in the book of Acts, all but one happened in the marketplace. The heart of the city is the marketplace; yet the dichotomy between labor and religious service has done a great disservice to the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It's time to reconcile the dichotomy so that we can extend God's kingdom and transform our cities
The notion that labor for profit and worship of God are worlds apart is patently false. The heart of our cities is the marketplace. Yet the percieved wall between commercial pursuit and service to God continues to be a barrier to advancing the His kingdom. Ed Silvoso invites all Christians in business to knock down the wall!
