    Bill Gate planned to be what he is today so many years ago. Long term planning is good for everybody. We want quick money so university students abandone their education and travel oversees. That is bad.

    There can never be any form of strategically better growth any where in this universe when corruption is leading in NDC Governmental level.

    True christian principles must drive long term planning! Can the pastor also tell us on cardinal principles he has promoted strategic planning for himself and his church all these years?

  • Kweku 11 years ago

    Dr Otabil is talking about simple strategic planning for the poor tithe payer.

    We know 10% of £1000 per month will be £100. Therefore, saving your £100 per month x 30yrs = £36,000. Also, don't forget rolling over with ...

    If it was a not a prediction, and a prophecy, then he lied for God. Far more sacrilegious, is that not so?

    The prayer by the "Church" averted the tumult? Sanity would not have prevailed but for the supplications and convulsive fits displayed at the prayer sessions?

  • Prosperity Gospel 11 years ago

    Just like Zacchaeus in Luke 19:8 in the bible, Pastor Otabil's strategy for the poor church members to overcome poverty must have been, that he gives back all the 10% tithes he collected for 30yrs, that is since February 1984 ...
