• The NPP's 2024 Vice-Presidential candidate, Dr Matthew Opoku-Prempeh, preached in a church to the youth
• Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's running mate admonished all to ensure they served God well for a great reward
• Social media users who watched the video thronged the comments section to share views on NAPO's words

Dr Matthew Opoku-Prempeh, the Running Mate of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2024 presidential election, was captured in a video preaching at church.

NAPO, as he is popularly called, explained from the pulpit why God had created humans and debunked popular teachings that people are meant to suffer.

In a video on social media, NAPO said God had created humans to come and enjoy life.

“God didn’t create you to come and struggle. He created you to come and excel and enjoy life. Adam was not brought in to come and suffer. He was to take control over everything and manage it, and do what he wants with it. That is how God created you, and you can only do that if you have God in you.”

“If there is no God in your life, it’s a struggle. If you have God, the temptations will come, the tribulations will come. In fact, he will bring enemies to make you better. When he brings enemies, it is not to make you fail.”

NAPO spoke during the Youth Week celebration at the Methodist Youth Fellowship of Calvary Methodist Church-Amakom, Kumasi.
