Wonderful world. Beautiful people. How are you holding up? I pray you are pushing ahead, all things considered. It is a great time to be alive. Where there is life there is hope. Hope is Jesus. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Here's sending God's amazing peace to brighten your day.
To the many Liberians, diasporans, who have insulted me because I support President Trump and the Republican Party 2020. Thank you. It is called choice and freedom of expression. A guiding principle of my life is, to do right by God and do fair by people. Please stop overcrowding my Messenger account. I consider such insults toddler gibberish. I usually ignore these things. But let me speak for the record.
If I must stand
up for Africa I must first speak up for America. I have a vested interest in my
Blackness. I have a vested interest in being African of Liberian birth. I have
a vested interest in being an immigrant American citizen. I have a vested
interest to preserve the American way of life as I know it. I have a vested
interest in the Leader of the free world, whomever this person is at a given
time. All leadership is established by a sovereign God. I have a vested
interest in the United States traditional oversight and leadership of the
nations on planet earth.
Where are you
when I am spending time in the trenches fighting in prayer; my very life
overrun by opposition? You think it is easy to stand in the gap for a nation(s)
and uphold a people. You think the work I do is easy. I am not one to boast or
seek public acknowledgment. I couldn't care less about who validates me. I learned
long ago that most people are fickle and one does not need a crowd following.
My true friends I know and love. I try to respect people everywhere.
Where were you
when I went on undercover mission to take back our City Gate? The city gate is
the main entry point of a nation. Where were you when God sent me to Liberia to
spiritually return our national airport (RIA) to Jehovah’s dominion? Demonic
powers of darkness had overcast the land. Where were you when the Lord spoke
to me about the filth and the blood cry swallowing the Republic of Liberia?
Together with Jesus Christ this one woman took on the vast evil dominion, and
we won. To God be the glory. Where were you when I laid prostrate before the King of Kings praying
for Liberia? Where were you those 92 days of sackcloth and ashes, standing in
the gap for Liberia, before the Creator of the Universe? Where were you those
many lonely, sometimes difficult, long months in a strange country, obeying the
Lord’s strategic mapping of a release for Africa?
Do you think
every battle is visible to naked eye? Do you believe mortal intellect can
reason away every influence? Do you really believe the enemy, Satan, cares
about rhetoric and irrational, emotional outburst? Do you truly believe
significant impact is made by empty verbosity? When you stand outside of Christ
and Godliness and embrace ungodly characteristics, is there a chance ever? Do
you think for one minute the devil cares about peoples’ loyalty and attachment
to celebrity manifestoes. Have you even sat to consider what is at stake? I
pray more people would seek God and ask for help. Pray. Pray. Let us pray.
You label me.
What do you know of what I know! Yes, I have taken a stand. My stand is
unwavering. I stand on the side that, at the least, stands with my God. Not a
perfect side, but the side that will respect my Perfect God and count Him
Glorious and still relevant. Do not question my Blackness. Don’t you dare
question my loyalty to being Black in America. Do not insult my Africanness. I
am a global citizen, with a personal interest in America and Africa. Who are you
to tell me that I lack pride and self-respect. We have become a world
intolerant and people unaccepting of diversity. Yet we cry out for diversity only one
way.
We, Liberian
immigrants, are sitting in Social Media kingdoms crafting your own personal
tiaras and crowns. Meanwhile, back in your birth place RAPE has reached the
national headlines. Infants and toddlers are having their wombs fall out because grown old
rusty men their grandpa age constantly ravage their precious little bodies. A
few borders away, Christian teenage girls and young women are being brutally violated and AK47 shell cartridges inserted into their private parts splitting them open. What do you say? What is your plan? Across the aisle, poverty is turning
promise into disasters and human life has lost value. Further up north, brave young African men searching for betterment now stand lining cages waiting to be sold for a few hundred dollars to the nearest bidder. Do you think crying out
initials and chanting acronyms will solve it? Do you not realize “spiritual
warfare,” the many raging battles across the globe, is one of good versus evil? And
you dare question me. Stop messaging me foolish memes and tasteless videos. I
am called by God Almighty for a time like this. You have the luxury of
selfishness. I don’t even have a choice. I am sold out to Christ. I love the Lord and wouldn't have it any other way. It is a
divine agenda and I will stand to carry it out. God’s way.
Yes. If I must fight for America… If I must fight for Africa… If I must fight for Liberia… If I must fight for this beautiful earth God has gifted us… If I must fight for God’s kingdom to overpower the heathens raging in the atmosphere today… I will do it God’s way. I take absolutely no thought of what any mortal thinks of feels about it. Stop insulting people who do not do what you do. Certainly, stop insulting me. I have spent my entire life on the side of decency. As imperfect as I am, I have character and integrity. And a whole lot of self-worth. There is nothing anyone do about that.
For the
record. Again. I am a Black woman. And I do have pride for my race. Go ask God. He
knows all about me. I love you with a sisterly love. Blessings abundant!
