Prayer not substitute for laziness - Otabil
The General Overseer of the International Central
Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Mensa Otabil, says
prayer mustn’t be an excuse for laziness.

“Prayer is not a substitute for laziness. WORK
AND PRAY,” Dr Otabil wrote on his official
facebook page on Tuesday March 18, 2014.

His advice comes amidst a raging debate in Ghana
about whether prayer could improve Ghana’s
economic circumstances.

The motivational Speaker on Sunday told his
Congregation that rather than invest time and
energy in prayers and hope for divine intervention
in Ghana’s economic circumstances, the
country’s leaders needed to have a focused
vision with a clear cut plan toward moving from a
third world to a first world status.

He said no successful country, firm or individual
ever achieved laurels in their endeavour by
chance.

Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-William of the
Christian Action Faith Ministries took a lot of
flak on social media a few weeks ago after he led
his congregation to pray for the ailing local
currency.

The CAFM General Overseer stood his ground,
against all the public bashing. He offered yet
another prayer for divine intervention in the
country’s economic circumstances on Monday March
17, when a raft of clergymen met the President at
a breakfast meeting.
