Pastor Mensa Otabil, General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church, (ICGC), has announced \u201cGathering\u201d as the theme for the Church in the year 2023. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2023, we are going to gather. God wants us to gather, bring things together.
\u201cWe need to gather our increase, nothing will be lost and nothing will be wasted,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Pastor Otabil said this at the Church\u2019s Crossover event observed at the ICGC Christ Temple East, Teshie, Accra. <\/p>\n
The theme is taken from John chapter Six verse 12 from the story of Jesus urging His disciples to gather the remaining fishes and loaves of bread after they were miraculously increased to feed His followers. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, \u2018Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.\u2019\u201d John 6:12, ESV. <\/p>\n
Pastor Otabil said the theme meant that God was going to gather His own children, and ensure that none was lost. <\/p>\n
He stressed that it also encouraged them not to lose sight and touch with God, but continually abide with God at all times. <\/p>\n
The theme, he added, also entreated them to reach out to the lost and bring them to redemption through Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
The Crossover is annual event organised by the ICGC Church every December 31 night into the early morning of January 01 of every beginning year.
The occasion is used to share the theme and scriptural directions for the year ahead. <\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Crossover was held at the Church\u2019s new campus, Christ Temple East at Teshie. <\/p>\n
The event saw congregants in white apparel signifying victory in the new year.<\/p>\n
