PATRIOTIC CREED
LIBERATION
A student once asked me: "Master which tribe do you belong to," I told him without mincing words that I am an Afrikan and a Ghanaian just like him.
I didn't bother to question the intent of his question but guessed the answer satisfied his curiosity.

Sometimes our allegiance to our selves, our families, our ethnic groups, our professional associations, or our various religious sects and political parties gradually sucks the relevance of our love for Ghana.
The greed in our creeds; the interests in our inquest;
the burden in balancing the blessings in our unique diversity;
the sins in our souls;
the omissions in our mission;
the cost of the connivance in our corrupt course, and our benign negligence in almost everything we do, seems to have molested our patriotic affection for our beloved country.

In fact, our odd ways, seems to make a nonsense of the right practical ways of engaging in the affairs of this beautiful nation.
And the fake solution we've over entertained in shifting goal posts or finding the comfortable -ugly scapegoats to blame for our woes, has practically punctured our patriotic zeal.

But today, Saint Paul in a letter to the Romans and copied to we Ghanaians on this day, reminds us that we "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" (Roman 3:23).
He reminds us that we are not doing well in protecting our once rich vegetation and properly taking care of Ghana.
Saint Paul, like our Forefathers who toiled and shed their blood for our independence, is unhappy about our dying love for Ghana; the share greed of grabbing everything and the sin of our benign negligence condoning with our politics of nepotism and the others.

And like the prodigal son in the Gospel of Luke 15:11–32, we have to reflect on our ways and return to the ways of our God and be more patriotic.

So beloved countrymen let's reconcile our hearts with our Loving God and live the testimony of our progress.
Fellow citizens, please let's reconcile ourselves with one another and make peace a reality.
Fellow Ghanaians, let's amend our false patriotic piety and march past our greed to become truly liberated for God and Ghana, because we are not children of a lesser god.
So let's unite in our forward liberation march.
God bless you
