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.
