Don’t compromise your future - Mensa Otabil advises youth

The Founder and General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Mensa Otabil, has urged the youth to abandon detrimental habits that hinder their progress.

Rather, he urged them to adopt strategic thinking in their endeavours, as every action they took would impact their future, strongly advising them to stay away from alcohol, drugs, pornography and other vices.

Pastor Otabil gave the advice in a stirring message to the youth as the church brought its five-day Greater Works Conference to a close last Friday. “God is doing something new with young people. Today, you may look insignificant, but God is about to use you to invent a global solution or to do something very significant.” 

“Don’t wait to be old to begin. You may not have experience, but God will magnify your steps," Pastor Otabil said.

Greater Works

The conference was marked by an extraordinary lineup of musical performances. The event, held at the ICGC Christ Temple in Accra, featured a cocktail of sermons, worship sessions, and inspiring musical performances.

International gospel artiste, Nathaniel Bassey, led the congregation in a series of soul-stirring worship sessions, inspiring and uplifting the spirits of attendees. The choirs from various ICGC branches and the renowned Zamar Band provided musical renditions that added to the electrifying atmosphere of the event.

Throughout the five days, participants experienced a spiritual revival, with messages centred around faith, personal development, and community building. The Greater Works Conference has become a beacon of hope and inspiration for many Christian faithful, particularly members of the ICGC, reinforcing the church’s commitment to nurturing spiritual growth and holistic development among its members.

The conference closed with renewed sense of purpose and commitment as the congregation prayed for all 54 nations of Africa to thrive and prosper.
