Your Need To Stop*

 

RACISM IS THE NEW BOUTIQUE in town where everybody wants to shop. Say it's not so. Sadly, it seem so. Or so many would want everybody else to believe. 

God's Word says in the Bible that if you regard iniquity in your heart Jehovah will not hear your prayer. (Read. Psalm 66, Matthew 18). Hatred is iniquity. There's no way Almighty God hears the prayers of hate-filled people. No matter what race, color, shape or creed. 

If you are a person whose heart is loaded with hatred, bitterness, anger, violent aggression, irrational judgment, unforgiveness and vileness, God is not listening to you. This means you've got a huge problem, because you need God to always listen and hear you when you pray. Cleanse yourself by confessing to the Lord, ask forgiveness for your sins and repent from hating and being racist towards people of another race. 

Racism is a gigantic tool in Satan's arsenal these days. The devil absolutely loves that narrative. It serves his multiple evil purposes. Despicable behavior. Both those who practice racism and those who lie about others as being racist are equally despicable. You need to stop now.

To all the racists in the room, take note. Democrat racist and Republican racist. White racist and Black racist. Republican Christian racist and Democrat Christian racist. Poor racist and Rich racist. Liberal White racist and Liberal Black racist. African-American racist. Conservative Black racist and Conservative White racist. African-immigrant racist. Millionaire Black racists. Multimillionaire Black-American racist. Ghetto-slum dwelling racist. Middle-Class Immigrant racist. It takes a racist to know another racist. All of you push this systemic racism agenda to a dangerous extreme. To make it stick-fit their game plan players have overinflated and exaggerated the problem and halted some semblance of solutions. You all have almost destroyed this beautiful and wonderful God-given refuge of hope called America. All of you hate-filled racist people and race baiters have caused a major mess in this country. Your need to stop.* You are being used as messengers of Satan doing his job to buffet humanity. This way we all lose.

This racism narrative is leading absolutely nowhere good. Racism in itself, when practiced, is such an inhumane attribute that no one should loosely attach it carelessly onto another. True or false, being labeled a racist strips a person of their basic human dignity. Imagine if the allegation is erroneous and the accusations are false. 

The devil knows what buttons will ignite the firestorm that bring him dividends. Racism is top on Satan's agenda. The racism narrative in America reminds me of my birth country, Liberia. It is first cousin to the "suppression narrative" of pre-1980 coup d'etat Liberia. They have the same grandparents. They attract the same end results. Since the undercover swamp rid the Republic of Liberia from its so-called "evil reign of suppressing the natives" present day Liberia is a utopian nation. That country was purged so well it is now the dream destination on the globe today. An unbelievable Utopia of a country! In your dreams. 

Name one substantial and systemic good that has come out of this racism narrative that overtook America since 2012. In my Liberian voice, the ongoing endless propagating of racism racism racism in people ear every day is getting tiresome.* Your need to stop. The openly racist, the closet racist and the race baiter are all the same. They serve the same purpose. Destructive action or destructive narrative or destructive agenda. All of Your need to just stop.* Stop. Please. We see through this. Race baiters. Stop it! Opportunists beware. Nobody benefits from a divided United States that is determined to self-destruct.

Church folks, please listen. God Almighty has said He will not hear the prayers of a heart full of iniquity and unforgiveness. That means God is not even paying attention to your fake prayers while you're carrying all that hate and hateful talk in your heart. Your need to stop. This is getting preposterous. Even the blind man can see the outcome. If you cannot see it by now you need a special dose of Jesus. Take a break and turn to prayer. SEEK GOD.

To my fellow African/Liberian immigrants, many of whom came to America without hardly any possession; some of you brought not even one straight suitcase, had not a single thing valuable on you. Your really need to stop!* Slow down and gather your wits properly. Think things through. Thoroughly. Some of you may need to change church. Get away from that trap. Read your Bible more. 

There are many pastors and clergymen with large congregations, especially those bling-bling big crucifix-wearing religious sounding reverends, several are leaders of mega-churches, who are misleading their congregants. Run for your life. Smaller churches follow suit to appear equally woke. Poor members in lavish pews and influential, rich pastors who have completely lost touch with the everyday reality of the people they're supposed to shepherd.  Many of these church leaders stoke the racism narrative and peddle it to vulnerable church folks. Run away from that type of church environment. Otherwise you will be on earth after the Rapture still planning annual Pastor Appreciation Dinner alongside the pastor and the auxiliary board. Run for your life. The Church is supposed to lead the world not take its cue from the world.  Look to God.

Particularly to Liberian immigrants. Let's all slow down a little. Turn back to the God your old people taught you to pray to.* Disengage from explosive narratives you know too little about and ask the Lord to guide you in the right directions. Ask the Holy Spirit to filter the news for you and direct you to paths you could champion and make positive impact. Change comes when truth is revealed. Buried lies wear out and hidden truth always gets exposed. Anger is necessary sometimes, but anger should never be accepted as reason why truth is distorted to exact revenge. However ugly the truth may be it will somehow manage to swim to the surface. And good will overcome evil even where an ugly truth is exposed. Slow down. Take it easy. No one can soothe another person’s hurt by adding flames to it. 

Let us rise up to the occasion. Do not lower self for an occasion. Be a critical thinker. For your sake. For the sake of your seed. For your own soul sake. At the end of the day God will judge your actions. By Almighty God standards. God will judge the quality of life you have led with the time he has granted you here. Seek Divine wisdom and understanding.

I love America. My immigrant heart breaks for my country. We all need to begin working together, with the help of God Almighty, and get America back on track. God can intervene no matter how much wrongdoing, sin, transgression, and iniquity we have collectively done to put the USA in these dire conditions. It is truly dire when a nation's populace is this much divided and aggressively hateful towards one another. It's a shame. Hatred has destroyed the fabric of the great United States of America. We should all be ashamed. Hate as an agenda has ripped the United States apart. This is shameful. This is wrong at all levels. This is every shade of wrong!!!!! 

Collectively we have all contributed to destroying the good thing in our hand. The USA is torn apart. Who is happy about this end? Not me. Are you happy about this? God can fix it. I believe in the power of surrendering to God. Trust the Jesus plan.

My friend. Jesus Christ stands ready to redeem the situation. Let us start the healing and soothing process. Let's begin with prayer, repentance and turn around faith. Much love from my end.
