The Founder of International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) and Chancellor of Central University College, Pastor Mensa Otabil, says Africa’s ‘desert years’ shall be over soon.
According to him, when he looks at the continent of Africa, it is like a desert where nothing grows. He marvelled at the amount of investments which are ‘poured’ into the African region and yet nothing of significance thrives in Africa.
He added that, it seems people of conscience don’t thrive and the land is incapable of supporting the livelihoods of its citizens.
“But I came here to announce to you Africa that God is about to water this continent and he’s about to plant trees and they are trees that would be planted and they would survive and they would grow and they would thrive,” he said during his online service on Sunday, July 26, 2020.
The ICGC founder further revealed that a new generation of Africans are coming, who would be planted on Africa’s continent and “our desert years are coming over.”
He admonished the youth, especially those 35 years and below, to use opportunities at their disposal to build the country and the continent.
Preaching further, he said that God would bring together the needed systems and structures that would work together for the continent’s development.
Pastor Mensa Otabil described the coming of a ‘season of synthesis’ where things from different places would be brought together to function for the good of God’s people.
According to him, things that didn’t work together shall be seen working together.
“Don’t be surprised when God causes people who hated each other to start working together, nations which could not work together would start working together,” he stated.
Citing the example of Ghana’s inability to work with neighbouring states like Togo, Cote D’ Ivoire and Burkina Faso, he bemoaned the fact that Africa’s unity seems like an impossible mirage.
He, however, asked that people should put their trust in God, who would ensure that the people of Ghana and the various systems within the country would work together.
He stated that failure of the systems to work together means ‘there would be no life’.
He advised the youth to do their part because God would not give them the farmland and also plant the corn at the same time [for them].
“Don’t fold your arms and say ‘ooh God has done it’, He’s going to do everything,” he said.
