“I Am A Businessman, Not A Pastor” — Didi-Omah Clears The Air About Who He Is!

I know most people out there have started seeing me as a pastor or running a Christian ministry. I own no church and I don't have a Christian ministry that I oversees. I am a Non-denominational Christian, I am proud of it. The Holy Scriptures is the only authority over my life. I study and learn from the Bible always, and I pray more often. Study the Word everyday and pray three times compulsory a day — and oftentimes, I pray more than three times a day.

I started my journey as a writer, move to blogging, and web developer. I am not a programming genius, not a webmaster — I am not. I am not a web programming expert. During my polytechnic years, I have built so many web projects; because I love building projects. Even now, professionally I am a businessman. Business is my profession. I am a visionary, I am always driven by vision and purpose — that is why I cannot be a career person.

Naturally, I see myself love business, doing researches on businesses out there. Naturally, I see myself writing ideas and contents from my brain without stress. Naturally, I see myself thinking on challenges to see the difference in solving it possibly — because I believe we can still make money doing what is not evil. I can never be a pastor and never will I oversees a Christian ministry: because that is not my calling or field.

I am not a Bible scholar and I don't oversee any ministry, I do not own a church. I am a businessman, an investor, an industrialist, and a non-denominational Christian. Business is my profession. I am a visionary, I am always driven by vision and purpose — that is why I cannot be a career person.

Because I love using the Scriptures in my words or contents, does not make me to run a church. Because you are good at something doesn't really mean that's your calling, yes. Executive, that is the truth. You can be good at football but being a professional footballer is not your call. By God's grace and self-discipline, I know the Bible not as a Bible scholar — that does not mean I am automatically a pastor. I hardly pray long hours.

I study the Bible, pray for some period of time, sing praises and worships often. Because I am a Christian. Professionally, I love business and want to improve people's lives in the best way I can. And still I can't hide my faith, which is faith in Jesus Christ as a Christian. I am a businessman, not a pastor — let me clear the air, Executive.

I have an organisation named, DIDI-OMAH, if you look at it very well, you will see that is the a Social Charitable foundation with Christian's faith as pillars — and not fully Christian commission. It is a social Christian charitable organisation, not a faith-based organisation in general view. Executive, a calling must be backed by thorough spiritual and practical preparation. Bishop David Oyedepo spent almost 28 months studying, praying, and planning before the church launched. Preparation ensures you have the spiritual capacity to sustain the weight of the ministry.

Business is my profession. I am a visionary, I am always driven by vision and purpose — that is why I cannot be a career person. I am not a Bible scholar and I don't oversee any ministry, I do not own a church. I am a businessman, an investor, an industrialist, and a non-denominational Christian.

Me, since my teenage age, I have been using Wikipedia and Google search to study businesses and individuals that made it successful through business. Then I never have any pastor or minister in mind — I focus on my Bible, pray — and back to my business studies. It was all my life was on, researching, blogging, and writing business ideas and business models — to execute. Naturally, I don't force myself on these, just do it times without numbers and found joy in it.

Doing business to me is fun, and serving God to me is the conclusion of the whole matter on earth. Ministry is a calling, not a career choice or a business venture. You must have a clear, documented mandate or instruction from God. Running without being sent results in frustration, financial hardship, and spiritual dry spells. Executive, if I venture into ministry full-time, I might fall because originally it is not my call — God's grace is sufficient, I know but I must follow His Will for my life account on the Word.

Calling is not limited to ministry, and ministry is not limited to pulpit; I know that. Both from the Bible and our world today, many people are called into fields not ministry. And many are into ministry, not to pulpit. Ministry is not tied to pulpit as calling is not limited to ministry! That's it. I don't want to go into Bible references, I would have shown you some examples of people God called, and they are not prophets, priests, or serving at the temple. And these people are hearing from God and receiving God's blessings abundantly.

Yes, I, Didi-Omah Augustine Chinazaekpere operates as a full-time businessman. Everything I do is subject to business, everything — be it a digital entrepreneur, it is still under business. Executive, I do signs off my official publications under the title of a "Businessman, Industrialist, and Investor," reflecting my dedication to business as my full-time career path.

I am a full-time businessman and a visionary as I said. I am a Christian, a non-denominational Christian.

The likes of John D. Rockefeller, Elon Musk, Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg, Linda Ifeoma Ikeji, and many others. From the Bible: Abraham, Isaac, Job etc. 

I am not a Bible scholar and I don't oversee any ministry, I do not own a church. I am a businessman, an investor, an industrialist, and a non-denominational Christian. That's who I am?
