Founder and Leader of the Heaven's Gate Ministries, Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Prophet Kumchacha, has asked the founder of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Mensah Otabil, to demonstrate modesty and accept correction and criticisms.
According to him, Mr Otabil must emulate the steps of founder of Microsoft and the richest man on the planet Bill Gates, who shows extreme humility in spite of his wealth.
His comments come after Pastor Otabil told his congregation that people who have no right to even mention his name in their speech are now freely hurling insults at him due to the Central Bank’s recent takeover of Capital Bank, of which ICGC owns 3% interest.
Using the bad news as an example to encourage himself and his congregation on Sunday, 20 August 2017, about how to find perfect peace in the Lord during personal storms such as his current predicament, Dr Otabil said: “Oh yes I’ve had some reality this week.
“You know when people who have no right to insult you, insult you; that is reality.
“You look at the person insulting you and the person, sometimes, himself looks like an insult. But out of the abundance of his insult, he is insulting you, so that is reality. Reality is when it is hitting, when all kinds of stuff is hitting… I don’t want to go too much into that.”
But before Pastor Otabil made these comments, Prophet Kumchacha had described him as incompetent following the collapse of the Capital Bank.
Kumchacha is reported to have said on an Accra-based radio station that: “When President Mahama was in power, Dr. Mensa Otabil called him ‘incompetent’. He extensively criticised the former President that he can’t rule over 27 million population but you (Otabil) with this small bank (Capital Bank), you couldn’t keep this bank in business and sat to watch it collapse.”
Furious with the reply from Pastor Otabil although his name was not mention by the ICGC Founder, Prophet Kumchacha said, while speaking on Accra News on Monday that : “It is shocking that Pastor Mensah Otabil who has attended school to the highest level will be talking like this. He should rather allow those of us who never stepped in classroom to talk like this.
“Let me tell Otabil that he should learn how to accept criticism from people. He should be humble. Even Bill Gates who is the richest man is humble in his dealings with people. People insult Bill Gates and describe him with all manner of words, yet he continues to show humility.
“Anybody who hates correction is like an animal as the Bible says at Proverbs and so please I want to tell him to accept advice. He is our father. We can’t criticize him so much but I want him to read the Book of Proverbs.”

THIS MAN HAS A POINT.OBVIOUSLY IF A COMPANY COLLAPSES UNDER YOUR WATCH, YOU ARE PARTLY TO BE BLAMED AND WHEN PEOPLE DO SO YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THE CRITICISM, CORRECT THE MISTAKES AND MOVE ON BUT TO REFER TO SOMEONE WHO HAD CRITICISED YOU AS "LOOKING LIKE AN INSULT" IS NOT EDIFYING AND SHOULD NOT HAVE PROCEEDED FROM THE PULPIT. THANK YOU
He can call born again Christians, ***barred word***. He finds it wrong to eat fufu with the hands created by God. He calls people lazy and less productive etc. Yet he gets offended and reactive when he is criticized for the collapse of a bank. The kind of people who say they have been called by God. Lord have Mercy on us.
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES AFTER ALL. Let him who is better than Rev. Otabil be the first to cast his stone else lets remain silent.
people who look like insult?????????? like seriously, people created in the image of GOD!!!!!!, even Christ was persecuted.
A church isnt meant for profit and that is what otabil should have thought of first
There is a diffrence between criticism and insult. Owning 3% of a Bank does not make you the owner.
Ignorance of mankind! What is wrong with a church owning shares in a company? Wow!!!!!
For once I agree with Kumchacha. When Otabil criticizes other people for one thing or the other, they should listen to him but he won't take such criticisms? Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black
isn't it pastor mensah otabil who criticized people from eating fufu and also with their hands, because in his won words the preparation was unhygienic. he had made so much money that he has forgotten where he came from. thanks to the many faithful and God-fearing ICGC members who continue to pour hundreds of thousands into the church's coffers in tithes and offerings on sundays. i wish he sit back and do a real reflection of his life and the way he sees things, going forward
Judgement will start in the house of God, Otabil should be reminded.
