Tema, Jan 12, GNA – Reverend Dr Peter El-Sotie, the Founder/President of Schools for Christ Mission, has appealed to Christian entrepreneurs to create job opportunities for their fellow Christians in their local congregations.
He reiterated that when Christian entrepreneurs help create job opportunities for their brothers and sisters in the Church, it would go a long way to help reduce the unemployment situation in the country.
Rev Dr El-Sotie made the appeal in his homily at the Climax of the Alpha Week Celebration of Maranatha Assembly of the Great Commission Church International (GCCI) in Tema.
The event on the theme “2025 My Year of Fruitfulness”, is the part of the Church’s annual fasting and prayers to seek God’s favour and protection for the new year.
Speaking in the topic “Fruitfulness, My Birth Right,” Rev Dr El-Sotie said God wants to make his people fruitful, but this requires that they should be working.
He said God had promised to bless the handy works of his people and therefore everything Christians must seek to work with his or her hands.
He cited examples that fashion designers in a local congregation would recruit Church members and give them free training.
Rev Dr El-Sotie advised those who would benefit from job opportunities granted them to be faithful stewards.
Quoting from the Bible, he said “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.”
He said fruitfulness glorifies God, and therefore, Christians must be fruitful in all their endeavours.
Touching on the nation, Ghana, Rev Dr El-Sotie prophesied that in the coming years food would be produced in abundance to the extent that prices of food stuff would go down.
