LIBERIA'S 26th IS ON YOU
Congratulations on this Independence Day, Liberia.
Happy Twenty-Sixth, to the people of the Republic of Liberia (ROL) and all
those of Liberian heritage. May we continue as a Christian nation, a God-fearing
people. One unified country cognizant of the rights of every citizen and those
within its borders; tolerant of the faith and beliefs of all. Yet,
unapologetically asserting a profound declaration that it is only The Almighty
God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) which has brought Liberia this far. As a
people with a proud, enviable heritage, may you pledge to never sacrifice your ethics
and values as a country. Let us uphold the moral fabric of this sovereign one Nation,”
Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”
ROL, you must accept responsibility for where you
find yourself, the spot you now occupy, in the Roster of Nations. Liberia,
accept that you have failed in more ways than one. You have failed your citizenry,
your most precious possession. You have failed your babies, your youth, your elderly,
your sick and helpless, the downtrodden—all your people. ROL, for a nation that
is 167 years old you are wasting precious time! Liberia, haven’t you wasted
enough time already? The nation that is the most powerful in the entire world
is 238 years old; you are 167 years—how far behind are you? Liberia, open your
eyes and seek Godly wisdom that you would contribute well meaningfully to the
processes that affect your life. Your existence is being threatened while you pleasantly
act sluggish. Only God can rescue The ROL. Liberia, you must turn to that God.
The Lord has promised to hear you and DELIVER you. If I know anything I know
that Jesus Christ is a promise keeper.
“Liberia is rich with natural resources; untapped mineral deposits around the country. … A country’s natural resources are God’s natural blessings to all generations of that land. A country’s rich natural resources should translate to economic success for the people of that nation. It is blessed wealth to be enjoyed by every citizen.” Hortense Duarma Grimes, "She Shall Stand"
Liberia, reject ignorance, disease, and poverty.
Regardless of who serves it in silver platters edged with empty, elaborate
gestures; reject Ignorance, Disease and Poverty. Liberia, say NO to terror. Say
NO to hate and prejudice. Liberia, say NO to racism (negro and non-negro descent), tribal
dissension, ethnic cleansing, clandestine interference, and ungodly influences.
Absolutely say NO to violence—Violence of any forms, shape or type. ROL, set
priorities and stop dispensing time and energy on compounded nonsense. Embrace education,
information, communication, and innovation. Embrace the reality of basic infrastructure
and sanitation, technological advances, healthcare, and human dignity. Embrace good,
vibrant leadership, transparency, equality, and fairness. Liberia, reject loud verbosity
and hollow grandiose promises that’s aimed only to lined new pockets. Republic
of Liberia, seek the face of Almighty God, that the Lord would bring this
nation to its expected end.
On this 167th birthday of this nation,
Liberia should not be embroiled in a plague-like crisis, compounded by abject
poverty, filthy conditions and sewage-infested rainy waters consuming its
precious resources, the people. When the bad outweighs the good in any
situation, that situation is not good!
As you celebrate and merry make on this day, ask
yourself, “What kind of Liberian am I?”
Vow to do your part and lift Liberia to a place of prominence in the eyes of God and the world.
