Stand for the truth at all times — Elder Aboagye urges youth
The Pastor in-charge of the New Tafo Akim branch of the Full Gospel Church International in the Easter Region, Elder Wonder Amingo Aboagye, has admonished the youth to stand for the truth at all times.
This, he said, was the only way they would gain the favour of man and God.
Speaking in an interview with The Spectator on the future of the youth and false prophets after the church’s first 2021 Sunday service, Elder Aboagye advised the youth to resist falsehood.
According to him, truth stood tall against falsehood and whoever practised the latter would never succeed in life.
“Truth is truth, falsehood is falsehood and truth always stands tall against falsehood but destruction waits for whoever engages in the latter” he stated.
Elder Aboagye asked the youth especially Christians to sit up to resist the false prophets in the society.
He said the future could be bleak for the country if the youth did not seek knowledge from the Bible and pursue formal education.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children,” Elder quoted the Book of Hosea 4:6.
According to him, the so called prophets practised occultism, used magical powers to tell the future and employed evil practices to perform other superhuman activities to deceive the public that whatever they (false prophets) did came from God.
Elder Aboagye urged Christian leaders not to underestimate the false prophets but should teach the congregation the word of God to enable the members easily detect and to decode the deception of such people in the society, easily.
“How can an end time true man or woman of God lie or deceive, cheat or steal, fornicate or commit adultery, visit satanic shrines and cults, maim and murder, create divisions and wars, give false visions or dreams and give fake predictions both in politics and other social devices?” he said.
He entreated Christian leaders to consistently pray for the youth and teach them the true word of God to enable them overcome the evil traps of the so called vociferous and ferocious human wolves.
Elder Aboagye appealed to the youth not to wait for any day or 31st night of December before they make resolution or wait for a man of God to bless them to see changes in their lives.
Rather, they should be disciplined and position themselves strategically to see opportunities in whatever situation that would come their way.
Elder Aboagye entreated the government to channel enough funds into education especially the Technical, Vocational and Science sectors for the fast development of the nation, and above all appealed to the leadership of the nation to let God lead in all aspect of the economy.
