Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has called on Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), to extend his prayers for peace to include Palestinians as they are God’s children too.
News About Nigeria gathered that Omokri’s plea follows Pastor Adeboye’s recent video message expressing solidarity and prayers for Israel during the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
In his message, Omokri emphasised that a significant portion of the Palestinian population consists of Christians, particularly in the Gaza Strip, and these individuals also deserve support and prayers during this challenging time.
He cited Galatians 6:10, which encourages prioritising aid to fellow believers, and he expressed concerns that the omission of Palestinians in the prayer message might leave them feeling abandoned.
Omokri pointed out that God does not show partiality and questioned whether it might be an oversight to offer prayers exclusively for Israel.
Drawing from his personal experiences visiting Palestine, Omokri described the dire living conditions faced by the people there, and he stressed the importance of providing love, prayers, and non-military support to alleviate their significant human suffering.
“Sir, I have been to Palestine. I will not wish their condition on my own enemy. They are God’s children, too. Don’t they deserve our love and prayers and every possible non-military support we can rouse to alleviate their tremendous human suffering?” Omokri’s tweet read in part.
In a video clip posted on his verified X handle yesterday, Adeboye noted that his prayers are with the people of Israel.
He said: “Hello my beloved brothers in Israel, I want you to know that we are praying for you, that all members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God all over the world are standing by you at this critical moment.
“The almighty God, the only one of Israel, will give you absolute victory and give you permanent peace from now on in the mighty name of Jesus. It is my prayer for all our brethren in Israel that the Almighty will grant you absolute peace from now on in Jesus name. #Israel #peace.”
