Allow mini-skirts in Church; dont be judgmental – Otabil
The General Overseer of the International Central
Gospel Church (ICGC), Dr Mensa Otabil, says
Christians must not turn away mini-skirted ladies
from the Church.

In his Sunday March 9, 2014 sermon monitored by
XYZ News, Dr Otabil said Christians must not be
judgmental of such people but rather welcome them
into the Church and allow the Holy Spirit to work
on them.

“There are people who come to Church in all
kinds of state. And there are some Christians who
are very intolerant. They see some woman who comes
to Church - maybe with a short skirt - and they
[grumble]: ‘The judgment of God, the fire will
burn you.’

“Let them come with their short skirts”, Dr
Otabil urged the Church, “and let the Holy
Spirit begin to work on them”.

He added: “And after the Holy Spirit has worked
on you for a long time, you add one more inch to
your skirt and after a few more time, you add a
few more inches and after a long time, you add
another inch”.

According to Pastor Otabil, “it is not about how
you dress. It is about Jesus in you. And when you
become a disciple of Christ, your dressing will
change. I guarantee you that your dressing will
change”.

“So instead of being cruel, be kind and allow
people to grow spiritually, then the physical
manifestations will show,” Dr Otabil admonished
his congregation.

Asserting that true love for people of all kind
was the truest form of evangelism, Dr Otabil said:
“evangelising is not just crusades, adding that:
“Crusades most times are not even effective.
True love is the real evangelism. And that’s why
in the Church we are committed to making a
difference in people’s lives”.

According to him, “we receive people as they are
when they come to our church and we trust God to
work on them”, adding that: “We don’t have
to become a critical [and] very very unfriendly
Church”.
