This year’s Christmas which fell on a Sunday saw many Churches filled with members who joined families and friends to celebrate the birth of Christ in a special way.
Churches across the country Sunday morning, organized special Christmas services to commemorate the day. The birth of the Savior; Jesus Christ and its significance to Christians was the key theme around which several preachers orated.
At the Christ Temple branch of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) in Accra, congregants celebrated with singing and dancing in appreciation to God for a fruitful and successful year.
Founder and Leader of the church, Pastor Dr. Mensa Otabil addressed the congregation on the theme “a savior who is Christ the Lord”. He reiterated the essence of the birth of Christ and its significance to the world, particularly Christians.
Addressing the congregation, Pastor Otabil advised Christians to reject all activities that will not glorify God and focus on living a life of honor and dignity. According to him, Christians have no business associating themselves with worldly things. He added that every Christian has a mandate to reverence and acknowledge God, and refrain from sin.
He also appealed to members to desist from taking alcohol as they make merry in the festive season.

Mensah Otabil, Fante man go and sell everything you have and give it to Fante poor okay, and live like a Villager in Asante and Akyem region. Hahahah
Is only my central region people(fooo000000ls) who will vote for UPP/NPP Asante Akyem to be president over them and leave their own.At times I feel shame to come from Central Region.
Massa; you are just missing the point !!!!! ; the issue is not about the provision of equipment to Central University initiated by Mensah-Otabil ; afterall the most reputable Universities in the world were established by philantropist who by the enlightened vision of the Creator that you can only serve God through mankind ;the issue is the HYPOCRACY OF MR MENSAH -OTABIL in what he told his congregation that they should not follow 'WORDLY THINGS' THIS MAN SHOULD REMEBER HIS PAST !!!!!!! ; if that is the case why does this HYPOCRATE AND CHARLATAN not go and live at Nima amongst the poor and use the TRoTro ; the trouble is that these Pastors have used the word of God to amass wealth and history tells us that the side by product of religion is wealth; the trouble is that Mensah- Otabil has become arrogant in their existance ; Mensah-Otabil and other pastors are a case in point besides look at what happened politically with the NDC party ;some of them became so rich ;arrogant and showed contenpt to the people ; so is Mr Mensah -Otabil the man is reaping so m so much cash he is today deluded about his own existance and therefore can use his position in the pulpit to have a laugh at his congregation besides those who come into money always find way to keep those without in the situation they are; WHAT THIS HYPOCRATE FORGETS IS THAT GOD USES ANYBODY AS AN INSTRUMENT TO ACHIEVE WHAT IS DESIRED ; CREATION IS TOO COMPLEX FOR OUR PETTY MINDS .
Apuuuuuuu what comparing CUC to any of the public. Don't we know the product of central University. Although our Public institution isn't good enough never compared Product of Central to KNUST, UMAT, UCC, UG. come to dowenya and see for yourself the product that school is churning out. Apppuuuuuu Central University for where
Why are people so loud to talk. It is simple. Honour what's written in Matthew 6:33 and you'll realise your own. How many times has he not been telling his members not to sit idle and his say God will do it? He has always made it clear that persevere fo as as a child of God He will be with you for His blessings maketh rich. Forget about his fees for the university, compare the available resources and teaching aids and quality of services provided and tell me if any of the state owned ones comes near. Stop petty talks and respect God and ull also see yourself been blessed
here is another criminal playing on the gullible brains of people to make money.you are deeply involved in dirty and immoral politics but you are advising your not to be attracted to the world. is that not exactly what you as hungry pastor is doing? hypocrite working for lucifer.
Today's pastors know what to say to justify their luxury living by telling their members God will bless them if they offer to the church. So, it is better we allow Jesus Christ Himself to teach us. And this is what He is teaching: Love God and your neighbor.
Sometimes the preaching and teachings of some of these pastors are totally different from what they are practicing. A lot of them eat better food, they buy the best cars, the churches build the best mansions for them e.g the church of pentecost builds a mission house for the pastor before building a chapel. The pastors buy the best plots in Accra and Kumasi, they don't pay electricity bills and water bills but their followers struggle to pay these utility bills. These same pastors then turn around to tell the followers that world materials are noting because we came naked and we will go naked. Do they really think about their church members. I heard Pastor Obinim who said that he has about 5 Range Rovers and Chryseller, V8 etc and alot of houses. What is he doing with all these cars? Anyway, God is the best judge
I am just wondering why at all GOD made christians come to pass through this world. That sounds like a big mistake HE made listening to Pastors Like Otabil. At the same time, the GOD claims HE so loved the world that even gave his only begotten son to come to save it. It gets confusing when after the big sacrifice to save it, the same world is said to be so bad that christians should do everything to avoid it. And what precisely is so bad about it?? Is it the money, the cars, the beautiful women or what?? And why is it so bad drinking some alcohol?? I think eating too much food is worse than drinking alcohol. And drinking malt and all those sugar filled beverages are worse killers than some alcohol. Of course the abuse of everything is bad and not alcohol alone. Otabil should know that better and next time should rather focus on it. We are tired of all these directives that leads to nothing. We are given 70 years and some bonus years to live here on earth. That's not much time to waste on listening to people who think they'll live for ever. What you call luxury or worldly today will be the trash of tomorrow! The world is a dynamic place and changes take place all the time. Is it a luxury today to own a horse and a cart instead of a 4x4 car? just think about it!!
