Make personal plans for yourself – Pastor urges youth
• Pastor John Boamah
Retired Pastor John Boamah as part of his New Year message to his congregants has urged the youth to make a personal plan for their life.
According to him, the youth must deny themselves worldly pleasures and make a lifetime plan in line with the word of God.
Quoting Luke 5:27-28, “After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name Levi sitting at his tax booth. Follow me, Jesus said to him and Levi got up, left everything, and followed him. From the above scripture, Levi denied himself what he was doing and followed Jesus. ”
“In this turbulent world, the youth must fix their gaze on Jesus and trust only Him because He alone can provide our needs, he said.
Pastor Boamah emphasised the fact that most youths were looking for quick ways to make wealth without making long-term plans for their lives.
This, he said had caused the youth to lose their lives at early ages adding that the youth must not entangle themselves in situations that would cause their early grave rather they should be as blind as bats to things that would endanger their lives.
