God Asked Me to Leave My 6 Businesses and Comfortable Home to Preach the Gospel in My Village – Apostle Randy Osae Bediako

In 2017, Apostle Randy Osae Bediako was living what many would call a life of success. As one of the most accomplished businessmen in the country, he was the proud owner of nine companies under the Kharis Group umbrella. “There was such grace for my business,” he recalls.

His life seemed perfectly in place—a beautiful five-bedroom house in the prestigious Regimanuel Estate, a loving family, and a prosperous career. However, everything changed when God called him into full-time ministry.

“The Lord said to me, ‘Leave everything and go to your hometown,'” Bediako shared. His hometown, Kunkunuru, a small and largely unknown village, was far from the comforts and luxuries of city life. Despite the challenges, he recognized that this was a divine instruction. “There is that which is good, and there is that which is excellent. It takes a mature person to decipher,” he explained. Like Moses in the Bible, who refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, Apostle Bediako had to make a difficult choice. He chose the path of faith, leaving behind his thriving businesses and the comfort of his home.

Obeying this call required immense sacrifice. “The Lord said, leave it all and go to that village and preach the gospel,” he shared. Bediako vividly remembers the moment of confirmation in church, where he heard a tingling sound in his ears, followed by the message, “Their blood will be on your hands.” He knew then that it was time to act. 

Without hesitation, he transferred all his companies, including the shares he and his wife held, to one man and moved into his father’s house in Kunkunuru. “I refused to be called the CEO of almost a multinational business,” he stated, highlighting his complete surrender to God’s will.

The transition was far from easy. “If you have lived in a five-bedroom house with the comfort that comes with it, and then all of a sudden, you find yourself in one room, it will take faith to stay there,” Bediako admitted. But he persevered, driven by the conviction that “it’s not all about the rosy things of life. It’s about the gospel.”

In Kunkunuru, Apostle Bediako began his ministry, and the results were remarkable. “Souls were being saved. Lives were being transformed,” he shared. Through his obedience, churches were built in communities that had never known the gospel. “By faith, we built a church. By faith, we began to build churches,” he recounted. His ambitions of becoming the richest man in Africa were set aside as he embraced his divine mission. “But God said, leave it and go. And I left it all.”

Apostle Randy Osae Bediako’s testimony is a powerful reminder of the faith required to obey God’s call. His story shows that true success is not measured by material wealth or worldly achievements but by fulfilling the purpose God has for your life. 

Through his sacrifice and obedience, countless lives have been touched, and the gospel has reached places it had never been before. “It takes faith to obey the Lord,” he concluded, a truth that his life now embodies.
