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.

Minister for Education Haruna Iddrisu has questioned why Ghana continues to import toothpicks despite having the resources to produce them locally.
Speaking in Parliament, Mr. Iddrisu, who previously served as Minister for Trade and Industry, said he feels ashamed that the country still depends on imports for such a basic product.
“I have been Minister for Trade and Industry before and I carry the shame. How come that in Ghana we cannot produce toothpicks and we have to import them?” he asked.
According to him, Ghana has enough resources to support local businesses to manufacture products such as toothpicks instead of relying on imports. He said the country should encourage private sector investment in manufacturing to create jobs and reduce dependence on foreign goods.
Mr. Iddrisu alleged that some people who received government support under private sector initiatives failed to use the funds for their intended purpose.
“If you want, Honorable Kojo, because you… I can’t go there. There are people who took money in the name of the private sector and said they were going to farm. That money never went to their farms. You know that,” he told Parliament.
On job creation, the Education Minister said he agreed with the views expressed by a colleague on the need to create more employment opportunities. However, he argued that the One District, One Factory (1D1F) programme did not provide the solution to Ghana’s employment challenges.
Mr. Iddrisu made the remarks during parliamentary proceedings while contributing to discussions on job creation and the country’s industrial development.

New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications officer, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has dismissed reports linking him to an alleged GH¢55 million case, insisting that no such issue was raised during his detention by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
In a Facebook post after his release from EOCO custody, Mr Aboagye stated that at no point during his detention was he questioned about any GH¢55 million.
“For the records: There was no discussion of any GH¢55 million with me by EOCO. None,” he wrote.
According to him, he was detained for four days, a day after announcing his intention to contest for the position of National Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party.
Mr Aboagye alleged that false narratives were circulated about his arrest but expressed confidence that the truth would eventually prevail.
He thanked NPP supporters who demonstrated and called for his release, saying news of the protests reached him while he was in detention and encouraged him.
Mr Aboagye indicated that the support shown by party faithful strengthened his resolve and reaffirmed his commitment to serve the NPP.
He maintained that his detention had not discouraged him from pursuing his political ambition.
“If the intention was to break me, it has failed. If the intention was to scare me, it has failed spectacularly,” he stated.
Mr Aboagye expressed appreciation to his legal team, the leadership of the NPP and all supporters who stood by him throughout his detention.
He reiterated his determination to lead the party’s Communications Directorate, declaring that he remained “ready to win” and committed to what he described as the party’s mission to “command the narrative.”
