Award-winning Ghanaian gospel musician, Diana Hamilton has advised the country’s youth to prioritize their education and professional careers over spending most if not all their time in church.
Although she admits spirituality plays a significant role in the lives of humans, one always needs to find a balance in their lives, equally focusing on their personal growth and responsibility as well.
Speaking on an interview, Diana Hamilton encouraged the youth to build a strong foundation that enables them to support themselves and others.
“You need to be able to buy your own shoes before thinking of buying a pair for someone else, she said. But if you’re always in church and not focusing on your education, not learning how to relate to people or operate in a corporate environment, and not figuring out your life’s direction, you’ll find yourself stuck.”
She continued, “Ten years down the line, you’ll still be dependent on others and claiming you want to help the needy — when in fact, you’ve become the needy. You simply cannot give what you do not have.”
Using a practical example, Diana added: ”Your mum is in the kitchen, and instead of helping her, you say you have choir rehearsal. That’s not balance. You must learn to live a well-rounded life.”
Diana Hamilton’s message has received immense endorsement as netizens back her.

@FAgbodeka – Wise advice! Faith thrives alongside hard work and personal growth — balance is key to making a lasting impact.
@eagleyez7 – She’s so right. I mean how do you financially support the church if you’re broke and relying on the church for support.
@HonourKwaku – I don’t know which church is the basis for the argument but spiritual need is fundamental in the human build up. Besides how many hours do we spend in church? No wealthy person stems from a weak spirituality. Being it Christian, Muslim, Buddhism etc. Balance is key though.
