Vice President-elect, Senator Howard Taylor recently while in Ghana worshiped with CAFM where she showed thankfulness to God and to the church for the prayers they offered her and her President-elect, George Weah for a slide victory in just held Presidential election in Liberia.
Mrs. Taylor who broke down in tears thanking God for how far He has brought her and also begged for God’s mercy for herself and her newvgovernment as they prepare to take office to lead the people of Liberia.
“I know it is not over, we should continue to pray for us and with us, that whatever God’s plan for our nation we will fulfill it and that the devil will not overturn the things we should do”, Howard Taylor prayed.
Archbishop Duncan Williams led his congregation to pray for Liberia’s incoming Vice President and added that she had also suffered the atrocity of her former husband – jailed Liberian leader Charles Taylor – although she played a low profile and kept quiet.
“We commend senator Jewel Taylor for not dishonouring him for the pains and afflictions and all that he subjected her to, that she never spoke out publicly to dishonour him and didn’t join the international community and his enemies to kill him but was silent and endured in silence that one day you will vindicate her,” Archbishop Williams noted.
He said Senator Howard Taylor also suffered a lot from her ex-husband, but the international community thought she was in support of her ex, but she kept quiet and to preserve her integrity.
“It’s been a long journey, a journey of ups and down, a journey of misrepresentation, false accusation,” the preacher said, adding that “lot of lies” were disseminated about her due to her past status as first lady to Charles Taylor, who is now facing 50 years prison in a British prison.
“Even when she was first lady I used to meet her, and I know as first lady, she used to ask for appointment to meet her husband as compared to other women, but she didn’t complain,” the Bishop hinted.
The crimes of Ex-Liberian leader affected several of his associates including his ex-wife, Senator Howard Taylor who was placed on a United Nations travel ban in 2004 and was lifted in 2012.
The ban tinted the image of the incoming Vice President of Liberia on the international front for about eight years, and when she was elected as vice presidential candidate to the international football star, Senator George Weah, on the Coalition for Democratic Change ticket, it began another challenge separating her political ambition from her ex-husband’s world crimes.
The Archbishop showered praises on Senator Howard Taylor for being a strong woman and standing on her grounds to face these challenges all this while.
Archbishop Duncan Williams prayed and prophesized that the vice President-elect will not be “implicated by any means neither be discredited”, adding, “You and the President will never be impeached by any means.”
He said any attempt by anyone or group of people to divide the Senator Howard-Taylor and President-elect George Weah will be “Bombarized” and exposed.
Howard Taylor thanked the CAFM for the prayers offered for Liberia adding “I know it is not over, we should continue to pray for us and with us, that whatever God’s plan for our nation we will fulfill it and that the devil will not overturn the things we should do”.
