“There is a testimony waiting for you in the coming year. Some of you will graduate in 2023, some of you will marry, some will have children and some will do what was previously called impossible in the coming year,” he declared.

Pastor Otabil also had words of assurance for those who had suffered significant setbacks as a result of COVID-19 and the events of recent years.

Quoting from John 6:12, he assured people who had lost loved ones, suffered financial or health setbacks that God was able to use them to gather the tiny fragments left in their lives into abundance.

“If you ever thought your life was wasted, if you feel left behind and abandoned, be assured that God is able to use the broken pieces that remain to put your life back together again,” he said.

Pastor Otabil also admonished the church to use the Year of Gathering to focus more on people, especially the vulnerable. He shared that in the year ahead, God would gather people who were forsaken, lost, or broken and give them a new lease of life.

“Many people who have lost their way, made mistakes and wasted their lives will be given another chance by God.”

He admonished individuals, organizations and nations not to be wasteful in the new year of gathering. “One of the worst things you can do in life is to be blessed and wasteful. Nothing must be lost and nothing must be wasted,” Pastor Otabil, concluded.
