Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s post on X, containing a prayer for Israel amid the ongoing war with Palestine has been deleted.
Recall that Reno Omokri, a socio-political commentator, among others had picked holes in Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s prayer.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God had prayed for God to grant Christians in Israel absolute peace.
The prayer had attracted massive backlash against the church and the cleric.
Today, a quick check shows the prayer post has been deleted from the church’s social media handles.
Reno Omokri had asked why Pastor Adeboye ignored the Palestinians in his prayers.
According to him, a greater percentage of Palestinians are Christians than the Israeli population.
Reno said: “Acts 10:34 says God does not show partiality. But sir, are we not being partial when we pray for Israel and ignore Palestine? Perhaps it is an oversight.”
Reno Omokri added: “But, sir @PastorEAAdeboye, what about our brothers and sisters in Palestine? A greater percentage of Palestinians are Christians than the Israeli population.
“Half a million of them, to be precise. Doesn’t the Bible, in Galatians 6:10, ask us to first show love to members of the household of faith before others? Perhaps they may feel abandoned that your message did not even mention them. If I were a Palestinian and saw your message, I would sink into further despair.
“Acts 10:34 says God does not show partiality. But sir, are we not being partial when we pray for Israel and ignore Palestine? Perhaps it is an oversight.
“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?”
