Today we shall be engaging in prayer for the nation of Liberia. Liberia is located in the western part of Africa. Liberia is one of the countries in Africa with high rate of violent attacks. From the bloody coup led by Samuel Doe in 1980, which brought the invention of an authoritarian system of system on the Liberians, to the rebellion coup led by Charles Taylor to over throw the government of Samuel Doe in 1989. Charles Taylor’s rebellion act led to a bloody civil war in Liberia that lasted for a while. Samuel Doe died in the civil war yet peace wasn’t attained until 1997 when a peace accord treaty was signed and election was staged which brought Charles Taylor into office as the President of Liberia.

However, the peace accord didn’t last long. The early year 2000 witnessed another round of war in Liberia which led to the death thousands of Liberia citizens while many other were displaced. In the year 2003, Charles Taylor was convicted by the UN-backed special court for Sierra Leone in Hague, he was forced to resign and a transitional government was put in place to oversee the affairs of Liberia. The country eventually saw the light of true democracy in 2005 after an election was staged which brought Ellen Johnson Saleef into power as a democratic leader and ended the rule of a transitional government.
War is such a gory situation, the nation of Liberia was forced to start the nation building from the scratch again as if they just got an independent from colonial rule. Ellen Johnson Saleef was re-elected in 2011, she focused more on building the dented economy of Liberia throughout her stay in office. However, just when the eyes and thought of the world was shifted away from Liberia, the news of Ebola outbreak and Patrick Sanyer brought the attention of the world back on Liberia.
Good to note, Former football legend George Weah was elected as the president in 2018, there was jubilation in the whole Liberia. Meanwhile, the economy is still in great jeopardy. Need I say more, Liberia might have a flag that looks like that of the United States of America, they might speak raw English like Americans, but they are no where near the blessings and prosperity of United States of America. Poverty has eaten deep into the bones and marrow Liberia’s citizens.
WHY YOU SHOULD PRAY FOR THE NATION OF LIBERIA
It is appalling to state categorically that Liberia is one of the poorest countries in Africa. Prayer in it original state is a means of communication between man and God. Through the act of praying we make our intentions known to God, we let God know our supplication. Therefore, it is expedient that we say a prayer for the nation of Liberia. The case of Ebola is still at large in Liberia, the people voted for a new leader in 2018, but nothing has changed since they changed leaders. There is no gainsaying that the nation of Liberia has been faulted from the foundation. There has never been a long lasting peace of mind from the inception of the country Liberia. Ps 11:3: “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” There is a need for men of prayer to invite God to take charge of the situation in Liberia, God should correct every foundational errors that is affect the nation today.
PRAY FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBERIA
The government of every nation are the mouthpiece of God and they are the instruments that God will use to save any nation. Rather than fighting for a change of government every now and then, we can raise an altar of prayer for the nation of Liberia that God Himself should take charge. There should be a spiritual indirect rule system of government in Liberia. God can take charge of the situation in Liberia and turn it around. All that we need to do is invite him into the affairs of the country.
PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF LIBERIA
The citizens of Liberia have suffered enough, it is about time that God turn their situation around. Before the outbreak of Ebola, the world has never seen anything like it, there has never been any syndrome so horrible and deadly like Ebola virus. Infact, many countries decided to strengthen their Visa process especially for citizens of nations that are greatly affected by the virus. Ebola is a satanic motivated virus, but the good news is that the scripture promised that Christ has healed our diseases Isaiah 53:5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Pray that the healing of God Almighty come upon the people of Liberia. They are going through a trying moment, God should strengthen them to scale through.
PRAY FOR THE ECONOMY IN LIBERIA
The civil wars that broke out in Liberia has destroyed the nation’s economy. No wonder the scripture says Psalms 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. There is a little to what can not be achieved when a nation is peaceful. While saying a prayer for the nation of Liberia, when it gets to the economy; pray for peace instead. When the peace of God come upon the nation of Liberia, everything will work well, including the failed economy.
PRAY FOR THE CHURCH IN LIBERIA
This is the time that people turn their heart away from God. They tend to seek solutions else where. The churches in Liberia needs to receive the power of God to ignite the end time revival in Liberia. A revival that will put an end to years of fruitlessness and unproductivity. The revival that will frustrate the plans and agenda of the enemy over the nation of Liberia.
In conclusion, we all know we live not in the world or Africa of our dream yet. But, a little more conscious effort can birth the Africa and life that we all dream of. Nothing is too impossible for God to do, let’s all put aside our differences and uniformly raise an altar of prayer for the nation of Liberia.
