I'm Ezechiel Bambolo, Jr., the firstborn son of a family of four children. I was born and
raised in Liberia, West Africa. From the truly early days of my upbringing, I recall my parents’
clear instruction, a reminder to me that I am the firstborn son of my family. And as
such, my actions and my responsibilities carry a much different meaning for our family and
my siblings. I have very vivid memories of my struggle to embrace that truth and value
system at an early age, especially the preteen and teen years, as well as many falls in my
early adult years. That is human nature.
We reject the truth because truth is confrontational to our sinful nature. I'm very glad my parents
taught me such a lesson without any reservations because I do not believe I would have accomplished
what I did for our family and continue that pursuit to this day if I did not have a committed
understanding of my role. This book “The Firstborn Son: A Curse, A Gift or A Calling”
does not provide an instant fix to our problems which society frequently seeks with great
error. Instead, it restores a greatly neglected concept that has been forgotten from multiple
generations now but was strategically well placed for the brilliance and the success
of society.
The Lord in His scriptures expresses significant complemental relationship between himself
and the position of the firstborn son. In scriptures out of Exodus Chapter 13, Numbers
8, Romans 8, and more, God stresses that this relationship strategically connects himself,
the firstborn son, the nation, and the people, His people. The Bible is loaded with models
and depictions that the Lord has provided us the blueprint for healthy children, healthy
families and society. By following them, by following these rules, we excel greatly as
evidence in how God has used my life in pursuit of this role as a firstborn son to restore
and bless my family from utter destruction and chaos of a civil war and so much more.
There are countless stories and miracles of a big God and how he appears in the midst
of atrocities and hopelessness. But also stories of a total family effort to embrace this role
of the firstborn son and watch God manifest his greatness as a result of our embrace.
You can tell the greatness of a nation by the value systems of the people, especially
America. America’s greatness in the world has been based on the value system that the
rest of the world craves but has rapidly begun to lose its luster. Our homes give up an aroma
of greatness and appeal when our value systems are properly aligned.
So why are our children, especially our sons who have this “me first” and “me happy”
attitude rejecting the essence of the family to the tone of a crippled society? We have
neglected the covenant relationship between God and our sons, especially the firstborn
son. The compelling purpose of this book is to provide proof of that neglect, but more
importantly give you some key tools for restoring that luster to our homes first and then consequently
our society.
I urge you, go now and buy a copy of this book “The Firstborn Son: A Curse, A Gift,
or A Calling”. I promise you it will change your life, the lives of your children, as
well as give you the foundation for building a multigenerational impacting family legacy.
It does not matter what you're dealing with right now or what you may have dealt with
in the past. God has a purpose for every second you have lived. The book will give you powerful,
realistic and practical examples of how to stand firm and teach your dependants to do
the same in the face of distractions and atrocities that will arise.
