Youth to fear God and keep His Commandments-Bishop Evelyn Sunu
The youth are reminded to have the fear of God, keep His Commandments, trust and serve Him in faithfulness and with reverence.
They are also advised to obey their parents, those placed in authority over them, conduct themselves wel , show unconditional love to all, maintain purity of heart and depend on the word of God.
Lady Bishop Evelyn Candace Sunu, the founder and leader of God’s Glorious Ambassadors International Church, Accra, in an interview with The Spectator, said the fear of God was lost to Ghanaians, starting from those in authority to the least, a situation she said would not help in building up the youth.
She likened the youth to the seed of the land which had been planted to bear good fruits in the future, failure to which the progress and the future of the country would be lost.
Bishop Sunu said the youth must walk in the integrity of the word, desist from indecent lifestyles and humble themselves because they would be handed the mantle of leadership.
She said it was unfortunate that the youth had forgotten about God and rather dedicated their lives to idol worship in order to amass wealth, a situation which was leading them to destruction and untimely death.
Bishop Sunu lamented that the youth had allowed materialism to take the centre stage in their lives, and were compelled to commit grievous crimes like murder, immoral acts, greed for money and laziness among others.
She said though the youth felt lazy to work, they were on the contrary eager to amass wealth through occultism, and were not bothered about the grave consequences of such acts.
Bishop Sunu reminded them not to waste their precious time on the acquisition of wealth since none would carry anything away from this world.
She said though the truth was bitter, it must be told, adding that the youth must take delight in doing what pleased God and acceptable in His sight.
Bishop Sunu called on the leadership of the church to organise crusades for the youth and counsel them as regards the right path they must follow to attain everlasting life.
She said the youth must constantly be reminded that before they would attain salvation, they must amend their ways and try to serve their creator in their youthful days.

A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour by the Bekwai Circuit Court for his role in a 2022 robbery at a mining site at Manso Akwasiso in the Ashanti South Region.
The convict, Dominic Ofori, also known as Fanta, was arrested on 16th February 2026 after years on the run. He pleaded guilty before the Bekwai Circuit Court to robbery contrary to Section 149 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 Act 29, and was accordingly sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour.
On March 20, 2022, the Manso Adubia District Police received intelligence that a group of armed men from Manso Abodom were planning to attack a mining site at Manso Akwasiso to rob the owner of gold concentrate. Acting on the information, police mounted a coordinated operation and laid an ambush at the site.
At about 5:30 pm the same day, four-armed men arrived at the site, fired indiscriminately, and robbed the miners of their gold concentrate. The police team on surveillance intervened, resulting in an exchange of gunfire.
Three of the suspects, Abu Abubakar, Musah Latif, and Gideon Takyi, sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead on arrival at St Martins Catholic Hospital at Agroyesum. Dominic Ofori escaped at the time but was later arrested and put before the court.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has assured the public of its continued commitment to combating violent crimes and bringing offenders to justice.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested 45-year-old Isaac Boafo, also known as “Duabo King,” for allegedly publishing false news intended to cause fear and panic.
Police said the arrest follows a viral TikTok video in which Boafo claimed that four officers at the Central Police Station in Kumasi engaged in inappropriate conduct with commercial sex workers during night patrols in Asafo.
Officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate (Ashanti Region) apprehended Boafo after receiving intelligence about the video.
During questioning, he admitted to creating the video to attract views and engagement online, and acknowledged that he could not prove the allegations.
Boafo also admitted making comments about the President of the Republic for content purposes and could not defend those statements.
He has been formally charged and is in detention as investigations continue.
The Ashanti Regional Police have warned the public against publishing or sharing false information on social media, noting that such acts can cause fear, panic, and damage reputations.
They said anyone found engaging in similar conduct will face legal action.
