1. Doing Greater Works 1

Preacher: Pastor Mensa Otabil (Founder and General Overseer, ICGC)
Key Scriptures: John 14:8–14; Matthew 11:2–6
Summary:
Pastor Otabil opened Greater Works 2025 by affirming that John 14:12 is still true today—believers can and will do the works of Jesus, even greater in scale. “Greater” means more extensive in reach, not different in nature. Jesus healed, delivered, restored, and preached to the poor—acts of divine repair—and we are called to continue the same. Despite human shortcomings, Christ’s double “Amen” guarantees His work through us. The message ended with a call to salvation and the assurance that Jesus still repairs broken lives.

Jesus ministered in a limited geographical scope, but we are commissioned to take His message globally. The true source of power is faith in Christ—not rituals, mantles, or personalities. Everything flows from Him: healing, authority, and gifts. Our ability to do greater works is anchored in His finished work and present intercession.
