In a powerful message delivered at this year's Greater Works conference, Dr. Mensa Otabil, the Founder of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), urged his congregants to not let material desires compromise their future potential.
"Because you need a phone, your destiny is better and greater than an iPhone 15. One day, you won't just own phones; you'll be manufacturing them. You'll have more phones than you can use"
"Don't sell your destiny for a phone! You are bigger, better, and greater than that!" Dr. Otabil passionately declared to an energized audience.
The conference, held in Accra, saw thousands in attendance, with many taking to social media to share and reflect on Dr. Otabil's compelling advice.
His words resonated with the crowd, emphasizing the importance of long-term vision over short-term gratification.
The context of Dr. Otabil's message has sparked discussions, particularly in light of recent comments made by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
On a campaign platform, Dr. Bawumia hinted that Ghanaians would be able to acquire phones and pay as little as GH₵1.
While it remains unclear if Dr. Otabil's message was directly influenced by Dr. Bawumia's promise, it has certainly fueled speculation.
Regardless of the connection, Dr. Otabil's counsel stands as a powerful reminder to prioritize one's destiny and potential over immediate material possessions.
His call to focus on greater ambitions continues to inspire many within and beyond the congregation.
