Nigerians Slam Pastor Adeboye For Posting Video Of Him Praying For Israel

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has come under heavy criticism after sharing a video of him praying for Israel amidst the war with Hamas.

Nigerians took to social media to slammed the Senior pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), for coming out to show sympathy to Israel as it continues its war with Hamas.

In a one minute thirty six seconds video, Pastor Adeboye prayed for Israel as it battles with the Hamas terrorists group in Gaza strip, Palestine.

He posted the video on X with the caption,

‘’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 holy one of Israel will give you absolute victory and give you permanent peace from now on in the mighty name of Jesus”.

Many Nigerians have slammed him for speaking about the issues in Israel when he has never done a video recording speaking about the various crisis in Nigeria.

In the same vein, Reno Omokri has tackled Pastor Adeboye over the same video.

In a post shared on his X handle, Reno wondered why the clergyman failed to pray for Palestines as well. He stated that if he were a Palestinian and he saw the video of the clergyman, he would sink further into despair.

His post reads;

‘’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?’
