Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, commonly known as NAPO
A video has emerged of the New Patriotic Party's 2024 Running Mate, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, commonly known as NAPO, delivering a church sermon.
The now viral video on social media has left many in awe of his remarkable oratory skills.
Dr Prempeh's preaching took place at an event to mark the celebration of “Young People’s Week,” during which he demonstrated his preaching skills, dwelling on the fact that one needs God in their life to overcome the struggles of life.
In the video, which NAPO shared on his official social media platform, he is heard saying; “God created you not to come and struggle. He created you to come and excel and enjoy life.”
Linking life to the ancient times in his message, he explained that; “Adam was not brought in to come and suffer. He was to control everything and manage it and do what he wants with it. That's how God created you.”
However, he was quick to add that the above can only be achieved when there is God in one’s life.

“If there is no God in you, life is 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's not to make you fail,” he added.
Sharing the video on his X account, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh captioned it as follows;
“My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can!
"For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up in you the power of endurance. And then as your endurance grows even stronger, it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.”
