Renowned Ghanaian pastor, Dr. Mensah Otabil, has cautioned his congregation against sacrificing their long-term destiny for short-term material gains.
His warning comes in response to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s recent announcement of a credit scoring system, which would enable Ghanaians to purchase phones and other appliances on credit and repay in installments.
While preaching to his congregation, Pastor Otabil emphasized the importance of prioritizing one’s destiny and future over immediate material possessions. He urged his members to be mindful of the potential consequences of accumulating debt and sacrificing their financial freedom for temporary convenience.
“Don’t sell your destiny for a phone,” Pastor Otabil admonished, highlighting the need for individuals to maintain a long-term perspective and avoid making decisions that might compromise their future.
Pastor Otabil’s message has sparked a national conversation about financial responsibility, consumerism, and the importance of prioritizing one’s values and goals. As the credit scoring system is set to be launched, many Ghanaians are weighing the benefits and risks of embracing this new financial model.
