Renowned preacher and leadership coach, Prophet John Anokye, has called on Christians to go beyond prayer and actively embrace wisdom, discipline, and strategic actions in order to achieve financial impact and relevance in the kingdom. He made this appeal during a two-day Prophetic Business Conference held at the Golden Bean Hotel in Kumasi, themed “How Money Works in the Kingdom.” The conference, organised by John Anokye Ministries (JAM), gathered ministers, entrepreneurs, professionals, and young believers from various parts of the country, along with participants from the United Kingdom.
The event began with praise and worship led by Minister Prince Adugu, who set the stage for what turned into a practical and spiritually enriching discussion on wealth creation, stewardship, obedience, and networking. Addressing participants, Prophet John Anokye shared his personal journey from a priesthood background into ministry and business mentorship, revealing that although he was raised in a strong Christian home, he initially desired to pursue law instead of ministry.
According to him, years of ministry experience, business exposure, and prayer have led him to identify a significant lack of understanding among many believers regarding kingdom economics. He explained that wealth within the kingdom operates based on principles, knowledge, and stewardship. He emphasised that many Christians remain financially stagnant because they fail to apply practical wisdom in conjunction with their faith.
Prophet Anokye further stated that money should not be regarded as evil; instead, it should be seen as a tool for advancing divine purposes and addressing societal problems. Speaking on the second day of the conference, he warned believers against worshipping money while also encouraging them to recognise its importance. He highlighted character, priorities, loyalty, wisdom, and discipline as essential foundations for achieving financial integrity and sustainable success.
The preacher also challenged participants to build meaningful relationships and professional networks, saying many opportunities are lost because believers isolate themselves instead of connecting with people who can contribute to their growth. “Some of the people around you may carry the opportunity you are praying for,” he told the gathering.
Prophet Anokye further emphasised that obedience to God remains more important than prosperity, explaining that financial increase should be tied to purpose and assignment rather than personal ambition. The conference also featured moments of prayer and prophetic ministration, with participants describing the sessions as impactful and transformational.
The Prophetic Business Conference, which began around 2013/2014, forms part of the long-standing vision of John Anokye Ministries (JAM) to equip believers with practical and spiritual tools for leadership, ministry and entrepreneurship.
