The biography of the Chief Executive Officer of the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, Bola Ray, will be launched this coming week at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
The launch of the must read book is slated for Thursday, the 21st of September 2017, with numerous dignitaries set to be in attendance.
A little piece of irony about Mensa Otabil’s recent rant against those criticising him is that he has been a great critic of a lot of prominent people throughout his career yet when he encountered some small criticism, he hit back with insults.
Former President Mahama can certainly remember a time or two when Mensa Otabil turned his laser eyes on him.
Honestly if this is how men of God behave how do they claim to posses any moral authority to tell anyone else how to live their lives?
After Otabil called his critics people who ‘look like insults’, Isaac Owusu Bempah has piled onto those same people, describing them as uncultured, childish and lacking knowledge.
The recent collapse of Capital Bank is the work of the devil, who is striking back at God’s people, Pastor Mensa Otabil has opined.
The ICGC head pastor has come under severe criticism in recent weeks due to what many deemed as an extortion scheme at the Greater Works conference and then later the collapse of Capital Bank.
Prophet Kumchacha is on the neck of Mensa Otabil following the collapse of Capital Bank, a bank he held shares in and was a board member of.
According to the outspoken preacher, Otabil criticized Mahama’s running of a country with 27m people yet he could not even run a ‘small’ bank like Capital Bank.
Pastor Mensa Otabil committed fraud with his greater works ‘special offerings’ and should be arrested by the BNI for it – that’s the analysis of the one and only Prophet Kumchacha.
Kumchacha, speaking on Kasapa Fm, expressed disgust with the miracles on offer for cash at the ICGC greater works conference.
Head pastor of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Mensa Otabil, says belief is not logical, it goes beyond logic and can reap massive rewards for those who believe.
Much has been made about the so-called ‘special offering’ being requested at the ICGC Greater Works conference where one can pay as much as $5,000 for a miracle; and Otabil’s defence is that belief does not make sense in the normal sense of things.
Pastor Mensa Otabil of ICGC sits in the hearts of a lot of Ghanaians as a sophisticated man of God, decent and not fake while Bishop Obinim and his likes are easily branded fraudsters and ignorant by these same people.
But the truth is, irrespective of the approach, these so called men of God are the same–living luxurious lives in the pockets of their followers.
After images emerged from ICGC yesterday showing offerings which start from $5,000 for the ‘millionaire status’, $1,000 for ‘seed of a thousand times more’ plus many others in decreasing order of what you pay, a video of Mensa Otabil has also surfaced in which he says born again Christians are foolish.
Dr Mensa Otabil has congratulated the ultimate winner at the 2017 VGMA awards, Joe Mettle, on winning the biggest award in Ghana music.
Mettle made history Sunday morning when he became the first gospel act in history to win the Artiste of the Year award at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
Dr Mensa Otabil is on a crusade to persuade Ghanaians not tp eat fufu, the pillar of their lives–and even though the man of God gets away with a lot of his absurd messages, this time, social media folks ain’t having it. Mensa Otabil said Fufu is killing Ghanaians–adding that the process of making it … Read more
Dr Mensa Otabil has been described as a political preacher–others may agree with this and many others many disagree, depending on where a person belongs.
However, when presented with facts, every reasonable person must come to the same conclusion–and this is what we seek to do with this post.
Though Mensa Otabil, the founder of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) remains one of Ghana’s most respected preachers, he is equally the most confused–and his sermons/messages over the years clearly show this.
In a recent sermon, Otabil said, Ghanaians (Africans as a whole) are stuck in the past–adding that we need to adapt to global changes and accept the new ways of doing things.
In a follow-up sermon, he used the popular Ghanaian fufu dish as an example, saying, eating with hands is not only unhygienic but arguments that eating with your hand is African is completely stupid. He explained that the white man used to eat with his hands too–but time changes and a new better way of eating has emerged in response to the moving time.
The above message denotes brilliance–but it clearly contradicts the sort of logic this same man churns out, most times.
A few months ago, this man told his congregation not to accept any scientific theory which contradicts the Bible–remember, the Bible documents old ways of doing things and the ideas of the Bible mirror times like 1 AD.
It seems to be taking some people longer to realise the ignorance and chameleon character of Mensa Otabil, who is sadly praised as one of the most intelligent preachers in Ghana.
Even with his intelligence, he claims any Scientific theory that contradicts the Bible is a lie and ought not to be accepted. Meaning, the Big Bang, Evolution, and even the spherical shape of the earth, as science has championed which contradict the Bible are all false.
Over the weekend, Otabil’s chameleon nature was noticed by some Ghanaians on social media–and he became a subject of an interesting conversation, led by Kofi Adoli and others.
Though Adoli, a Ghanaian social media commentator is mostly mischievous, this time, he was just pointing out the obvious–that, Mensa Otabil is no different to the many preachers in Ghana, perhaps the only difference is that he’s a little sophisticated in his methods.
Otabil under the NDC government a few months ago challenged Ghanaians not to become sleeping dogs by just accepted tarred roads and electricity–obviously implying that Ghanaians ought to complain and challenge the government to do more.
There is a problem with hypocrisy deeply embedded within the fabric of most religions, which starts from the process of ‘cherry-picking’ – by which the religious go through their holy books and adhere to some laws and ignore others.
A great example is the Christian attitude to divorce and homo-s*xuality. Jesus ranted and raved about divorce and never mentioned the gays – but Christians, who claim we now live under the ‘grace’ of Jesus, hate gays with a passion yet get divorced themselves all the time with no compunction.
And I couldn’t agree more, I mean the fact that I love you does not mean I should stay with you in a relationship that is in enmity with riches or anything that concerns itself with money.
The honest and rippling truth is all the goodness, comfort and promises that comes with love can only enter the realms of reality with money— almost always so how then or how can we live without this tangible presence.?
Though Matthew 6:24 states that: “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money,” Dr Mensa Otabil seems to say that’s false and money is damn good.
Not only that, 1 Timothy 6:10 also states that: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” And Hebrews 13:5 says: “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
But speaking on Sunday to his congregation, Mensa Otabil said money is good and anyone who says it isn’t is a liar.
