District Pastor Calls on Young People to Shun Quick Wealth and Seek God

The District Pastor of the South Industrial Estate District of the Church of Pentecost, Pastor Dennis Sasu, has called on Ghanaians—particularly young people—to stop the unhealthy rush for quick money, eschew social vices, and embrace hard work anchored in faith in God for genuine life transformation.

Pastor Sasu made this call while preaching a powerful sermon at the 2025 Christmas Convention of the Church of Pentecost, held at the Sunyani Magazine in the Bono Region. The convention, which attracted hundreds of congregants from within and outside Sunyani, was characterized by worship, prayer, and deep reflection on Christian values in a challenging socio-economic era.

Delivering his message, Pastor Sasu observed that the growing obsession with instant wealth among the youth has fueled moral decay, criminal activities, and social instability in the country. He warned that the “get-rich-quick” mentality has led many young people into internet fraud, drug abuse, ritual practices, and other destructive behaviors that ultimately derail their destinies.

“Money is important, but the uncontrolled rush for wealth without principles has destroyed many lives,” he said.

Adding that when young people abandon patience, discipline and hard work, they open the door to social vices that rob them of their future.

The district pastor emphasized that true and lasting success is not achieved overnight but through diligence, integrity, and dependence on God. He urged the youth to develop useful skills, pursue education or vocational training, and commit themselves to honest work, trusting God to bless their efforts in due time.

Pastor Sasu further encouraged believers to seek God’s help for personal and societal transformation, noting that economic challenges should not push people into ungodly shortcuts.

According to him, Christmas is a season that reminds Christians of humility, sacrifice, and obedience, values that must guide their daily lives beyond the festivities.

“God is still in the business of transforming lives. When we seek Him sincerely, He gives us direction, discipline, and divine favor that no amount of quick money can provide.”

He also called on parents, church leaders and society at large to play active roles in mentoring young people and guiding them towards responsible lifestyles rooted in Christian ethics.

The 2025 Christmas Convention ended with prayers for national renewal, the empowerment of the youth, and God’s guidance for Ghana as the country looks toward a future of hope, discipline, and shared prosperity.
