A religious group known as Christian United for Israel (CUFI) on Sunday said it supports and encourages Israel to continue to defend its citizens against terrorist attacks.
Israel has continued to bombard Gaza over the penultimate Saturday attack on it’s people by Hamas with several lives have been lost on both sides since the attack started.
While condemning the attack on Israel by Hamas, a week ago, the interim National Coordinator of CUFI, Evangelist Mati Acka said that the attack by Hamas was unjustified.
Acka stated this during the special solidarity prayers for Isreal which was organized by the state chapter of the group in conjunction with the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Makurdi on Sunday,
She said that Hamas has no excuse to carry out terrorist attacks on Israel.
Acka spoke on behalf of the Executive Secretary, CUFI, Nigeria, Reverend Samson Ozovehe while delivering her welcome address at the occasion emphasized that Israel had the right to defend her cities against violent and unprovoked attacks.
She said, “We in Benue stand to encourage and are in support of Israel. We CUFI in Nigeria in conjunction with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Benue state chapter and other Christian bodies in Nigeria, and the world over are outraged by the savage and dastard act unleashed on Israel by Hamas.
“We symphatise with the whole nation of Israel. We declare that the act by Hamas has no justification and must be condemned by people of good conscience across the globe.
“We maintain that there is no excuse for acts of terrorism against Israel and that Israel has the right like any other nation to defend her citizens against violent attacks. Until all of Israel is saved, we stand resolute behind her in constant prayers.
“We pledge to stand by our brothers and sisters in Israel and to speak out on their behalf, whenever necessary until the attacks cease and they live in peace.
“CUFI in Nigeria reiterates her unflinching commitment to the state of Israel. We stand solidly behind Israel” she stressed.
While praying for the return of peace to Israel, Acka condoled those who lost their loved ones, saying “The Lord God, Himself is the Fighter for Israel. He is the aptain of the armies of Israel and He will arise now, just as He has always risen for them in times past and God will also fight our battles in Benue and Nigeria in Jesus ame” she declared.
Speakers at the occasion said there must be a reason why God has gathered them together under one roof to pray for the nation of Israel.
Even as they expressed confidence that God would intervene in the conflict in Israel, the speakers observed that the prayer session was a mandate and God knows why He gave the group the command to pray for Israel.
They however rued the mandate of terrorists, which is to dissipate Israel and other nations.
Prayers were said for the peace of Israel and the fulfilment of God’s promises over the life of lovers of the nation of Israel.
