Happy Birthday to His Excellency Dr. George Weah
Revelation 3:8 declares: “See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” This truth has never been more fitting than in your life’s journey, Mr. President.
Your story is a living testimony that when God opens a door, no force of man, no circumstance of politics, and no season of trial can close it. From the dusty fields of Gibraltar to the grand stadiums of the world, and from humble beginnings to the highest office of our land, your life continues to inspire generations that faith, resilience, and service to humanity never go unnoticed before God.
Today, as the vast majority of Liberians look with great anticipation toward your historic return to the presidency, we are reminded that your destiny is not written by men but ordained by God Almighty. The same God who lifted you before the eyes of the world will once again open doors that no hand can shut.
On this special day, I join millions of grateful Liberians and admirers across the globe to celebrate not just your birth but your enduring example of hope and leadership. May the Lord strengthen you, protect you, and continue to guide your steps as you walk boldly through the doors He has set before you.
Happy Birthday, President Weah. The nation’s prayers and hearts are with you.
With deep respect and unwavering loyalty,
Jefferson T. Koijee
