A Retired Pastor of the First Baptist Church, at Ashaiman, Rev Humphrey Benjamin Omane has admonished the youth to prioritise good name over material wealth.
In his opinion, good name was better than riches and kept people away from trouble as well as ensured a good relationship with their neighbours.
Speaking in an interview with The Spectator on Tuesday based on his experience, The 75-year-old said it made no sense to cut corners and have people cheated to obtain riches and not live a peaceful life.
“What is the point in engaging in criminal activities to amass so much wealth and not be able to sleep well at night? It is better to have little with the blessings of God and man instead of having much with curses” he said.
The Retired Baptist Pastor said it was unfortunate that the youth of today were in a hurry to acquire wealth and so “would do anything possible just because they want to be relevant among their peers and family.”
“Good name doesn’t matter to people any longer but good name they say, is better than riches. Some people are still benefitting from the good names of their late parents and this comes with a lot of blessings, “he said.
Rev Omane again advised the youth to work hard and trust in God for His blessings.
He said it was also important to spend more time with God and work for Him because that would help to keep them on the good path and such acts also frequently attracted the grace of God upon their lives.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has congratulated the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on the successful election of its new national executives.
In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the NDC said it remained committed to promoting peaceful political engagement and democratic values in Ghana.
The party stressed the need for all political actors to work together to protect and deepen the country’s democratic gains.
The NDC expressed hope that the new NPP executives would work to ensure that the national interest takes precedence over the interests of the two major political parties.
“It is the fervent hope of the NDC that under the tenure of this new crop of executives, there will be mutual effort to ensure that the interest of Ghana always surpasses the narrow interest of the two respective parties,” the statement said.
The NDC added that such cooperation would contribute to efforts to make Ghana “great and strong.”
