Dr Mensa Otabil, who is the Head Pastor of ICGC has disclosed God used one of his recent sermons to prepare him for bad news of the collapse of Capital bank, a company in which he had shares.
He quickly recalled that in his August 13, 2017 sermon on the theme ‘nothing missing.’ He used it to encourage his members to remain unfazed in the face of affliction.But less than 24 hours after the sermon, breaking news item on the collapse of Capital bank came to remind him that he was speaking to himself, he confessed.
“I didn’t know I was preaching to myself. It is a word that is for me and for you too,” he said.
“One of the things that enriches the life of the pastor is to go through what the people go through,” the respected clergyman said.
