Conflict: Knocks for Adeboye over prayers for Israel
Nigerians have berated the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye, over his statement regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
ThisNigeria reports that Adeboye, in a video message released on Wednesday, had declared support for Israel, urging members of the RCCG to pray for the country.
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.”
Reacting, Nigerians knocked the clergyman over his stance.
@ms_tissy commented on X:”The misconception is. We believe Jesus is from there so that makes them Christians. On the contuary Isreal is not a Christian Country, they do not believe in Jesus Christ. They are fixed on believing the messiah hasn’t yet come they are still waiting on him to come, they are very jewish to the co. Yes Jesus was born through a jewish parent but he made Christianity had thats what is followers are called. This war started many many years ago and if you know the history well you will know. The Jewish ppl whom are from Isreal actually settled in Palestine trying to claim the state as theirs and they are fighting back which they will do forever”
@prankhottiee said:”Business man has spoken! Standing with Israel as if Israel is a Christian country!
He failed to make a comment about the ongoing genocide in South East”
@curvybarby said:”one of the reasons I went back to my catholic faith back”
@sireeneh commented:”This business man should ask how many people bandits and boko has killed just this year only but is quick to carry ring light to support another country. Shame on you all”
