Many pretty young ladies act ‘very silly’, later struggle for husbands – Otabil


 Pastor Mensa Otabil has said most ladies become very silly in their youth when they have abundance of beauty and don't  make very  good use of it.


 Pastor Otabil was preaching to his congregation about the need for people to make good use of their opportunities and potentials in times of abundance,Using ladies’ beauty in anticipation of scarcity in the future. Abundance comes,  when you have abundance of beauty.and you don;t make good use of it you will  regret it in the future …Sometimes you see an 18-year-old, 19-year-old, young lady dating  a 55-year-old man. When the beauty is no more,  at 35,’That’s when people [ladies] start going to church, worshipping, fasting and praying and hoping that God will turn things around”.

He  advised young people to use prudently, whatever they have in abundance to cushion themselves against the days of scarcity. The youth shouldn't be  wasteful; don’t spend all your money on perishable and depreciating commodities – spending money buying cars, buying clothes, which devalue over time, and not appreciate in value. Be wise and be ready to persevere. 

Dr Otabil observed that the showbiz celebrities and sports stars   haven’t learnt from people like Mike Tyson…, they haven’t learnt from great footballers and great athletes, great sportsmen, great musicians, who had so much, but have nothing now. The same mistakes, they are not like the ant. Foolishness is being passed on from generation to generation.

Learning from the ant and  symbolizes wisdom: … the ant doesn’t waste in the harvest, it harnesses,  the ant builds supplies for the lean season, the ant eats for the summer and saves for the winter. It builds stock for itself so that the season of scarcity would be taken care of.

 The reality of life will hit you , life changes, that is a fact . You’re not going to be beautiful forever, you’re not going to be strong forever, you’re not going to have all the time you have forever, A lot of ladies become very silly in their youth when they have abundance of beauty and make very silly mistakes about their future,” Pastor Mensa Otabil has said.

Our current generation needs a higher and profound philosophy that can cause a fundamental positive changes in their perception about the correct way of life, the fact still remains that what and who our youth are is a direct reflection of the teachings and the philosophy they have embraced thus far.
