Youths urged to shun social vices

By Motolani AbdulGafar

The Pastor in Charge of Holy Chapel Pro Cathedral C&S Egbe, Most (Snr) Apostle Olalekan Olayinka, has urged the youths in Ejigbo LCDA and other communities to shun evil act and any social vices so as to move the society forward.

He gave the advice while launching a book titled “This is Who l am” written by Evangelist Sikiru Olatunji Elijah at Ailegun Road, Ejigbo, stressing that peace is required for a society and country as a while to progress.

Apostle Olayinka posited that youths are the stronghold of every nation, noting that the violence and vices in the country could be checked if the youths are gainfully employed and there is no idle person in the communities.

According to him, many youths do not discover who they are and the precious potentials in them, making a biblical reference of David who confronted Goliath despite not being a trained soldier.

He therefore urged the youths to be peaceful and join the government to fight all forms of challenges against peace in the country.

Evangelist Sola lpadeola of Christ Chapel International Church stated that there is a hidden treasure in every youth that can bring about absolute transformation to their lives, urging the youths to think outside the box rather than engaging in social vices that could ruin them and the society.

The author of the book, Evangelist Sikiru Elijah, told ECHONEWS that the book is all about unveiling “who we are in God and how we should be walking in that consciousness.”

He reiterated that what people say to themselves has the capacity to either make or mar them.

“For this reason, we must guide our hearts rightly and speak positive words rather than uttering negative words that can ruin our destiny or that of others in the long run,” he advised.

He, therefore, appealed to the youths not to to be discourage by what people say from fulfilling their destiny in life.
