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.

The Ghana Police Service has launched a manhunt for a suspect in connection with the disappearance of a 27 year old man at Oyibi.
In a press release dated April 14, 2026, the Police identified the suspect as Wisdom Tetteh and said he is being sought over the disappearance of Theophilus Ashitey Amarh.
According to the Police, the case was reported on April 7, 2026, after the victim failed to return home.
He had left the previous day with the intention of selling his Hyundai Elantra saloon car after being introduced to a prospective buyer by the suspect.
Investigations revealed that the victim was last seen at the suspect’s residence at Saasabi, where he had gone to meet the supposed buyer.
The Police noted that a follow up visit to the suspect’s residence on April 10 led to the discovery of suspected bloodstains in a room, raising concerns of possible foul play.
The scene has since been examined by the National Crime Scene Management Team with support from the Anti Armed Robbery Unit of the CID Headquarters.
The Police added that search efforts involving community members and local authorities have been carried out in the area, but the victim is yet to be found.
Further intelligence suggests that the suspect may have fled the country to neighbouring Togo.
The Police indicated that steps, including INTERPOL processes, have been initiated to track and arrest him.
The Command assured the public that all necessary measures are being taken to arrest the suspect and uncover what happened.
It also urged anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspect or the missing person to report to the nearest police station to assist investigations.

A team member of the Kwahu Business Forum and special aide to the Chief of staff, Benjamin Essuman has revealed that the team is working on developing the forum into a major platform to support business growth and policy dialogue in Ghana.
According to him, efforts are underway to transform the Kwahu Business Village into an International Conference Hub that will attract businesses and investors from across the world.
He made the remarks during an interview with ghanaiantimes.com.gh journalist, Jacob Aggrey in Accra.
He said the forum was designed to bring together regulators, policymakers, entrepreneurs and investors to share ideas and help shape policies that support business development.
According to him, the concept began in 2024 when John Dramani Mahama and his Chief of Staff conceived the idea during the Easter period in Kwahu, where many entrepreneurs gather annually.
He said the first edition created a platform for business people to engage leadership directly and present their concerns.
According to him, the success of the maiden event led to the decision to make it an annual forum.
He said the second edition in 2025 focused on improving access to finance by bringing banks and financial institutions to interact with businesses.
He said institutions such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank participated and engaged entrepreneurs on funding opportunities.
According to him, the forum has now gone beyond dialogue and has become a platform for partnerships, negotiations and investment deals.
He said some entrepreneurs who participated in previous editions have secured support from financial institutions, with their projects progressing steadily.
According to him, the presence of the President at the forum continues to boost confidence among businesses and deepen engagement.
He said the 2026 edition was larger than the previous ones and was held at the newly developed Kwahu Business Village.
According to him, traditional authorities in Kwahu donated about 150 acres of land to support the development of a permanent business conference centre.
He said the forum is attracting both local and international companies, creating opportunities for networking and collaboration.
According to him, the initiative also promotes tourism activities such as paragliding in collaboration with the Ghana Tourism Authority.
He said the forum will continue to be held in Kwahu and is being positioned as Ghana’s version of the World Economic Forum.
Mr.Easuman further challenges such as overcrowding in previous editions have been addressed through the introduction of a digital registration system.
He said small scale businesses must take advantage of opportunities such as partnerships, mergers and government incentives to expand.
According to him, entrepreneurs should also collaborate with institutions like the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and the Ghana Export Promotion Authority to access international markets.
He said the long term vision includes developing the Kwahu Business Village into a world class facility capable of hosting global conferences, with possible plans to construct an airstrip.
According to him, the forum remains an important platform for businesses seeking growth, funding and expansion beyond Ghana.
