Seek after good names not material wealth - Apostle Nyamekye urges politicians - Adomonline.com

He said leaving behind a good name was a better legacy and not the wealth amassed at the expense of the people they serve.

In an exhortation at the 2023 Festival of Nine Lessons and Carol in Parliament last Thursday, Apostle Nyamekye said, “Things like good health is better than money, peace is better than money, wisdom is better than money but the greatest of all is good name.

“In Proverbs 22:1, good name is more desirable than great riches and to be esteemed is better than silver or gold

So, a good name is far esteemed than stature.”

“A good name towers above education and a great name does not only bring security to the bearer of the name but it buys things money cannot buy for you like favours and invoking blessings on one’s descendants,” he said.

Please good names are better than great positions,” he said.

Suggesting how one could have a good name as a legacy, Apostle Nyamekye advised those in power and with authority to serve humanity, live and work for the good of people.
