Pastor Sessou preaching the sermon
The Secretary for the West-Central Africa Division of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church, Pastor Selorm Kwesi Sessou has cautioned parents against the use of negative words on their children.
According to him, using such negative words and expressions on children could affect them negatively and change an otherwise bright future, adding that it may draw irreversible curses on them and eventually cause them to be burdens to society.
Pastor Sessou gave the caution at the 73rd anniversary celebration of the Adventist Youth Ministry (AYM) on the theme: “I Will Go” at Ada, Koforidua on Saturday.
He said the tongue was very powerful, and any word uttered with it can make or unmake someone’s life, adding that, parents should encourage and bless their children than raining curses and insults on them.
The pastor also urged the youth to do things that would attract blessings on their lives and avoid peer influence.
He advised the youth against premarital sex to prevent unwanted pregnancies and to achieve their objectives in life.
The New life District AYM Director, Master Guide (MG) Peter Owusu urged the leaders to give the youth the opportunity to contribute and offer their inputs in the church and the community.
He called for an active collaboration between adults and the youth and also relationships with teachers who would engage the youth in community concerns to increase youth involvement.
The former Effiduase District AYM Director, MG. Baffour Takyi advised the members against cyber security and crimes which have become rampant nowadays.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
