Pastor Mensa Otabil has warned Christians against superficial Bible reading, insisting that discovering the deeper truths of Scripture requires intentional and disciplined study.
The Founder and General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) delivered the message on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at ICGC Christ Temple East, Teshie-Accra.
His sermon, “Finding Treasure in the Field,” formed Part Six of the Parables of the Kingdom series, with Matthew 13:44 as the foundational text.
Using Jesus’ illustration of a man discovering hidden treasure, Pastor Otabil explained that valuable spiritual discoveries require looking beyond the surface.
He challenged believers:
“Don’t just look for verses that inspire you go deeper to find what is hidden in the scripture.”
According to him, Christians frequently select comforting passages without exploring their deeper meaning or understanding how they reveal Jesus Christ.
He explained that the man in the parable discovered treasure because he was digging rather than merely working on the surface.
Pastor Otabil encouraged believers to approach Scripture seriously, purposefully and consistently.
His message emphasised that deeper Bible study transforms ordinary reading into an opportunity to discover Christ and develop a more meaningful relationship with Him.
