Welcome to another transformative episode of The Seun Osigbesan Podcast. In this instalment, we are privileged to host, Funto Ibuoye, as she delves into the compelling topic: The Believer in the Marketplace. Drawing wisdom from the Gospel of Luke 5:1-11, Funto expounds on how believers engaged in business are not only ministers but also ambassadors of the Kingdom of God.

Funto Ibuoye shares fundamental principles that serve as guiding lights for believers navigating the business world. First and foremost, she emphasizes that Christ, not money, should be the ultimate source and sustainer of a believer's endeavours. Furthermore, she challenges the common notion that the primary goal of business is profit. Instead, Funto asserts that the true purpose of business is to impact lives positively.

With a deep understanding of the intertwining of faith and commerce, Funto highlights the significance of seeking strategies from the secret place for the marketplace. These strategies, she emphasizes, should align with God's will and resonate with His messages. By doing so, believers ensure that their ventures are not only successful but also vehicles for advancing God's purposes.

Funto Ibuoye draws from Isaiah 2:2 to underscore the pivotal role of believers in various industries and spheres. She passionately calls upon believers to rise against the prevailing darkness and radiate the illuminating light of Jesus. As she eloquently puts it, believers are not only called to be priests but they are also crowned as kings, empowered to dominate in the marketplaces they inhabit.
