‘Disciplined, God-fearing youth hold Ghana’s future’
The future of Ghana as a country rests in the hands of disciplined and God-fearing youth, Prophet Benjamin Fordjour has stated.
According to him, such youth naturally develop into leaders who are ready to make a positive impact on society with spiritual direction from God.
Prophet Fordjour made this declaration at the fifth edition of Invasion 2025, a dynamic youth-centred gathering held at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium last weekend.
This year’s edition drew thousands of believers to the venue for prayer, worship, and biblical teachings that sought to empower the youth towards growing in the fear and wisdom of God.
Also in attendance were great men of God and a rich line-up of seasoned song ministers including the celebrated Joe Mettle who thrilled guests with some inspiring songs from his repertoire.
Addressing the youth, Prophet Fordjour, who doubles as the Founder of the Benjamin Fordjour Ministries emphasised that it was important to align one’s life with the teachings of Christ while upholding the laws of the land.
In an inspiring call to action, Prophet Fordjour, urged Ghanaian youth to lead lives rooted in godliness, discipline, and strong moral values.
“These are values the youth must possess to lead this nation. With these, our future would be secured and make the country a better place for all.”
He added that “we need youth that are disciplined and God-fearing. People with such qualities detest evil. They ensure fairness for all and lead in the right direction. They always seek direction from God.”
Prophet Fordjour encouraged the youth to seek spiritual growth and adopt values that foster personal development and national responsibility.
The guest speaker, Dr Kwadwo Bempah Boateng, a Senior Pastor at the Holy Hill Chapel branch of the Assemblies of God Church also reminded the youth of the huge responsibilities on their shoulders to steer the country to a good destination.
This, he said could be an impossible task without guidance from God.
He therefore urged the youth to draw inspiration from exemplary leaders, embrace mentorship, and live lives that honour God.
Under the theme ‘Faith for Exploits’ he challenged young people to rise with boldness, act with integrity, and pursue purpose-driven lives guided by faith.

President of the Ghana Bar Association, Efua Ghartey, has called on judges and lawyers to carry out their duties with humility, fairness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
She made the appeal during the Supreme Court at 150 celebration held at the University of Ghana, under the theme “Honouring the past, celebrating the present and defining the future.”
Addressing participants, she noted that those in the legal profession occupy positions of great power and influence, and must therefore remain humble in the discharge of their duties.
She urged both the bench and the bar to deliver justice without fear or ill will, stressing the need for fairness in handling cases.
Reflecting on the significance of the celebration, she explained that the year 1876 marks not only the establishment of the Supreme Court but also the beginning of formally trained lawyers in the Gold Coast.
The GBA President questioned what Ghana would be without the rule of law, which is upheld by judges and lawyers, adding that the country could descend into a system where only the strongest survive if justice is not properly administered.
She further encouraged legal practitioners to reflect on their responsibilities and remain committed to upholding the rule of law for the benefit of all citizens.
