My prediction about Ghana growing into entrepreneurial country in 2000 was driven by God-Rev. Obed Danquah

His
prediction in 2000 about the growth of Ghana into entrepreneurial country where
young people would be seen establishing their own business(es) instead of
depending on government for jobs did not receive public attention out of sheer
disbelief.
But few years down the line,
his vision began to manifest into reality which saw the country
experienced an entrepreneurial revolution where young people are zealous,
wanting to, and creating their own businesses.
As a result,
several start-ups businesses have emerged, springing up across the
length and breadth of the country.
Government equally expressed
profound interest and continue to demonstrate its commitment to support the
youth in similar direction.
President Nana Akufo-Addo in
2017 launched the National Entrepreneurship and Innovations Plan (NEIP), to
serve as the primary vehicle for providing an integrated, national support for
start-ups and small businesses in the country.
The plan which he contributed
$10 million as seed money into, overall’s objective was to stimulate private
sector growth at the early-stages of businesses, to accelerate job creation and
to provide entrepreneurial Ghanaian youth with a critical alternative to
salaried employment.
Reverend Obed Danquah,Minister
and General Overseer of the Enriching Lives Ministries, located in Elmina in
Central Region, is the man in the center of this great news.
He told the congregants, the
move to come out with the prediction was motivated by God which he has obtained
through revelation.
“In the year 2000, I predicted
that Ghana will grow to become an entrepreneurial country, because people did
not see it happen before therefore couldn’t believe it, but I did believe
because I was told by God”.
I said it’ll be a country that
would grow into entrepreneurship because that’s what it needs.” he stressed.
He said to prove that his
prediction would materialize, he personally established an entrepreneurship
training institute to train the youth, out of which trainees who were engaged
and have successfully completed were honored.
The business giant turned Rev.
Minister also launched his noble vision with a magazine called Entrepreneuship
Forum at an event held at Alisa Hotel which saw the now Finance Minister, Hon.
Ken Ofori-Atta, who served as a Guest Speaker honoured including some other
government officials and prominent business moguls.
“I’m not surprised today you
can hear the gov’t talking about entrepreneurship and wants to train children
to be entrepreneurial minded because that’s what Africa needs”, he posited.
Rev. Obed Danquah made this
known while delivering his first sermon at a church service that witnessed his
ordination held on Saturday June 16, 2018 at Elmina in the Central Region.
He also revealed it is about
time the Holy Spirit is working to bring financially sound and influential
people into the ministry of Jesus Christ to preach the truth of the word.
The man of God who also doubles
as a prominent entrepreneur and a philanthropist professed these crop of
preachers would eventually take over from a rather abusive ministry that the
desperate and hungry for money people are using God’s word to amass wealth at
the expense of the poor congregation.
Being a staunch devotee of
Christ and a business mogul with a vision to blend Christianity with entrepreneurship
in order to save humanity, Rev. Danquah has hinted of releasing a book that
teaches the techniques of successful entrepreneurship with virtues of
Jesus Christ, to be titled: “KRISTOPRENERUSHIP” ( How Christ relate to
Entrepreneuship in wealth creation in the 21st century.)
According to him, the word used
for the book is patented by him therefore cannot be used by any other person
without his permission.
Rev. Obed Danquah was last
Saturday ordained as a Minister of the gospel by Bishop Jerry Sowah who is the
International Director of Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches for Africa.
He was tasked to be a staunch
representative of Jesus Christ on earth, a light to the world, preach the
gospel to masses and win souls for Christ.
