Pastor Samson Glory Abbey of the Mega Kharis Ministries has advised the youth to tread cautiously in life because life is not a race.
According to him the current crop of youth had talents which they should develop gradually and make good use of them at the right time.
Preaching a sermon on the theme “There is No Lost Time in God” on Sunday at Adentan in Accra, the Man of God urged church leaders to teach the youth to understand their personal or self development in the professional environment.
“Be patient in this life for nothing is impossible in the eyes of God, but only trust in Christ for your life.
“Let us teach our children to understand how to seize Godly opportunities offered to them in order to boost their career and set the financial benefits they are expecting and they will stop killing themselves for quick money” he said.
Quoting from Joshua 14:11, Ephesians 5; 16 and Colossians 4:5 Paster Abbey said that the mystery of life was dependent on God’s promises and when God’s time arrived, all things changed for the better so the youth should allow Christ to control their lives.
He urged the youth to take time in life because it was not a race but they should always wait for the right opportunities before they acted because “whoever rushes in life never gets to its end on a good note.”
He said that there were no lost or wasted time or years for those whose lives were dependent on Christ because there were many examples in the Bible of those who lived for God and enjoyed in their old age than in their youthful age.
Pastor Abbey said that, the youth needed such teachings because all their talents were hidden in them but needed only a small push, or motivation to change something in their lives else they would continue to live in this vicious circle of get-rich-quick syndrome.

President John Dramani Mahama today cut the sod for the construction of a 24-Hour Economy Model Market in Juapong, North Tongu District, marking the commencement of a transformative project aimed at boosting local commerce, creating sustainable jobs, and driving economic growth in the Volta Region.
The sod-cutting ceremony formed part of the President’s two-day ‘Resetting Ghana Tour’ of the Volta Region.
Addressing residents and stakeholders, President Mahama described the proposed facility as a modern economic centre designed to empower farmers, traders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
He noted that beyond serving as a marketplace, the project will provide critical infrastructure for storage, processing, packaging, distribution, digital commerce, and access to financial services.
The President reaffirmed Government’s commitment to accelerating development across the Volta Region through strategic investments in roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, transport, markets, and agro-industrial initiatives.
He highlighted Juapong’s strategic location and economic potential, indicating that the town is well-positioned to emerge as a key commercial and industrial destination within the region.
As part of the flagship 24-Hour Economy programme, the Juapong Model Market will be among the largest facilities under the initiative.
The project has been designated as a Category Four Market, the highest classification within the programme, reflecting its significance to the region’s economic transformation.
Broadcast journalist and aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Gomoa West, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has pledged to embark on major infrastructure development if elected to represent the constituency in Parliament.
Speaking on Onua TV platform, Captain Smart said his priority would be to transform Gomoa West through extensive development projects.
“I will turn the constituency into a construction site,” he declared, stressing his commitment to improving infrastructure across the area.
Although much of his remarks focused on rallying supporters in local languages, he repeatedly assured residents that they would witness significant development under his leadership.
Captain Smart also urged party supporters to remain united and actively participate in the party’s internal activities ahead of the parliamentary primaries.
He expressed confidence in his bid and promised to work hard to improve the lives of people in Gomoa West if given the opportunity to serve as their parliamentary candidate.
