Introduction
As Greater Works 2025 draws near, the spiritual climate is charged with expectation. In an exclusive Living Word interview with Rev. Albert Ocran, Pastor Mensa Otabil, General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), opened up about the origin, impact, and vision of the Greater Works Conference, while offering a sobering assessment of the African Church and what he believes must change.
His words were not just insightful—they were prophetic, practical, and a rallying cry for depth, purpose, and intentionality in the Christian journey.
Key Highlights from the Interview
1. The Accidental Birth of a Global Movement
“Greater Works started incidentally… it wasn’t thought of to be a conference in the first place.”
Pastor Otabil shared that Greater Works began simply as a closing service for ICGC’s 30-day Spiritual Emphasis Month. But the spiritual atmosphere of those meetings grew so significant that they were extended to three days—eventually evolving into the full-blown Greater Works Conference we know today.
“It just evolved—and it grew over the years.”
2. Why Fasting and Intentionality Matter
Otabil stressed that the power of the conference comes from spiritual preparation and focus.
“Faith is not automatic… This Christian life is an intentional life. When you set time apart, even tiny actions lead to something big.”
He emphasized that Greater Works flows out of the 40 Days of Power, a season of fasting and prayer where believers align with heaven in focused expectation.
3. Impact Measured in Transformed Lives
“The impact is not the conference itself, but in the life of people.”
Rather than numbers or publicity, Pastor Otabil measures the success of Greater Works by the real testimonies of individuals—healing, breakthroughs, service, and belonging.
“Some just want to serve. Some come for healing. Some come for fellowship. Everyone receives differently, but that’s where the power lies.”
4. The Challenge Facing the African Church
Perhaps the most gripping part of the interview came when Pastor Otabil spoke about the state of Christianity in Africa.
“Africa is the vibrant expression of Christianity today… but African Christianity lacks depth.”
He called for a return to doctrinal foundations and biblical truth, warning that a church built only on excitement and emotion will collapse under pressure.
“We must affirm who Jesus is, what the church is about, and not just give people something appealing but empty.”
Conclusion
This interview was more than a preview—it was a prophetic trumpet. Greater Works is more than an event; it’s a divine strategy to awaken the church, anchor believers in truth, and spark transformation across the continent.
