Reno Omokri recently addressed Pastor Adeboye’s online video in which he prayed for Israelis amid the conflict with the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza Strip, Palestine. While not altering the quoted texts, Omokri expressed concern about the pastor’s omission of prayer for Palestinians.
In his post, Omokri questioned the omission, saying,
“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.”
Omokri went on to reference Acts 10:34, which states that God does not show partiality, and questioned whether it was a form of partiality to pray for Israel while ignoring Palestine. He emphasized that he had visited Palestine and witnessed the dire conditions there, expressing his belief that they, too, deserved love, prayers, and any possible non-military support to alleviate their tremendous human suffering.
