A Vision of Hope and Transformation for Liberia: Embracing Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty

By: Austin S Fallah-From the Sleeping Pen on Sabbatical/Vacationing.

As Liberia stands on the brink of an era ripe with potential, Liberians can reflect on the myriad challenges that have plagued the nation and its people for far too long.

The time is coming when every air-breathing Liberian will come together to appreciate and honor Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty, the Creator who has watched over every Liberian through their struggles.

From the depths of poverty to the heights of prosperity, this journey toward unity, peace, and moral regeneration begins with faith.

This faith can only be nurtured by recognizing the divine power that guides us.

An Abundance of Resources and a Scarcity of Vision:

Liberia is a land endowed with natural resources, rich soil, and a resilient population.

Liberia possesses vast mineral wealth, abundant forests, and thriving agriculture waiting to be harnessed.

The paradox lies in our current state.

How can a nation blessed with such richness see its citizens live in poverty and dissolutionment?

This discord between the nation’s resources and realities is not merely an economic problem but signifies a more profound malaise affecting the collective spirit.

For too long, the nation’s narrative has been marred by inefficiency, corruption, and a lack of vision.

The assets that should enrich the people are often exploited to benefit a privileged few.

Consequently, they declare themselves a “rich” nation while their children sleep hungry, their roads lie in disrepair, and their hospitals remain underfunded.

The urgency of acknowledging Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty becomes evident.

Liberians need a divine intervention to shift their trajectory toward fulfillment and abundance.

A Day of Transformation: The Promise of Liberation:

That day is approaching, characterized by peace, love, mercy, and favor.

It is a day when Liberians, regardless of their affiliations, will gather under the unifying grace of Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty.

The trials they have faced are not insurmountable; instead, they are the dry bones in Ezekiel’s vision, waiting for a voice to breathe life into them.

In Ezekiel 37:1-14, the Almighty challenges the prophet to speak to the dry bones and prophesy life into them.

The question posed to Ezekiel, “Can these dry bones live?” resonates with Liberians as they look upon their nation.

The answer lies not merely in human effort but in the transformative power of faith.

Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty knows what lies within these bones, the potential for restoration, revitalization, and awakening social consciousness that will propel Liberia into a new era of abundance.

Reclaiming Their Dignity: A Shared Responsibility:

What will it take for Liberia to rise from its ashes?

The answer lies in a collective commitment to values that uphold human dignity.

The identity as Liberians is not defined by their trials but by their responses to them; in a society where every individual matters, Liberians must cultivate love and unity, pushing aside the forces that seek to divide them.

This responsibility falls on them as community leaders, students, youths, young people, women, educators, politicians, and citizens.

Love must manifest in their interactions, transcending tribal, political, and economic lines.

Liberians must recognize that their strength lies in their diversity, grasping that together, they can forge a nation that honors Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty.

Many attribute the alleged destructive forces that manifest themselves against fellow Liberians to a lack of understanding and compassion.

In an age when polarization threatens to splinter their society further, they must engage in dialogue and empathy.

Liberians must embrace Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty’s call to be a beacon of hope, demonstrating through their actions that love triumphs over hatred.

Embracing Transformation through Faith:

As they cultivate a culture of compassion,  Liberians must also uplift their governance and institutions.

A corruption-free Liberia requires each Liberian to respectfully challenge the status quo and engage in honest dialogue about the systems and practices.

The faith they place in Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty can inspire them as they envision and pursue reform, infusing their institutions with integrity and accountability.

Let them ask ourselves: What does an ideal Liberia looks like?

In this vision, education is accessible and equitable, security for all, health services flourish, and economic opportunities abound.

For this vision to become a reality, Liberians must recommit ourselves to hard work, ethical leadership, and mutual respect.

Every action they take in the name of teamwork and collaboration brings them closer to manifesting a nation that honors Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty.

The Role of Community and Engagement:

A renewed Liberia must also involve communities taking an active role in shaping their destiny.

They must foster grassroots movements that embody Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty’s love and message.

Each neighborhood, district, county, city, village, and town should become incubators of positive change.

By empowering individuals at the local level, they can stitch together a quilt of progress that reflects their nation’s diverse fabric.

They must inspire the youth and foster a sense of ownership in the country’s development.

Young people are the future leaders, and it is essential to impart knowledge and ethics, helping them recognize their potential to initiate change.

When they understand their power and divine purpose, Liberia shall see a renewed zeal for justice, equity, economic empowerment/emancipation, and progress resonating throughout Liberia.

An Abiding Commitment to Shared Values:

As they embrace this transformative journey, they must continually remind themselves of the core values Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty calls them to uphold: integrity, love, respect for human dignity, and stewardship of their nation’s resources.

These values should permeate every sector: agriculture, education, government, technical, grassroots organizations.

Each voice matters. Each contribution counts.

This is a philosophical, political, or theological stance and an actionable directive.

They can create coalitions that hold their leaders accountable while encouraging respectful civic engagement.

They must drive the dialogue on issues affecting their nation and communities and ultimately position themselves to influence policy changes that elevate the welfare of every Liberian.

The Dawn of a New Era:

The promise of a prosperous, united Liberia lies within their grasp, anchored in their faith in Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty.

Embracing their God-given resources is a spiritual and moral obligation, urging them to live out principles of justice and love.

That day is indeed coming when Liberians will see their nation rise from despair to hope when they honor their Creator-Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty with words and actions that reflect a love for one another.

Let them firmly believe that Liberia can and will be transformed.

The dark days are numbered, and the light is imminent, provided they commit to faith and action.

With the guidance of Eloah-Meleka-God-Almighty, they can change the narrative and inspire a legacy of abundance, dignity, and hope for generations to come.
