Hamas Attacks: Israeli Ambassador To Ghana Prays For Israel At Cedar Mountain Chapel, Assemblies Of God
The Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, H.E Shlomit Sufa, has visited Cedar Mountain Chapel, East Legon, to worship, seek prayer for the nation of Israel, and further explain current happenings in Israel to the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Wengam.
The Ambassador appealed for prayers and diverse support from the people in Ghana for her nation and condemned in no uncertain terms the attack on Israel by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
She also called for the unconditional release of all Israelis held hostage by Hamas.
Meanwhile, the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, Ghana, and Lead Pastor of Cedar Mountain Chapel, Rev Wengam, on his part, extended the sympathies of the church to the nation of Israel.
He further quoted Psalm 122:6-8 and explained that the Bible enjoins Christians to support and pray for the nation of Israel unconditionally.
Rev. Wengam equally condemned the recent attack on ordinary and innocent civilians and the abduction of dozens who are being held captive at unknown locations.
He also led the congregation to pray fervently for Israel and the Middle East in general in the hope of peace and the release of all hostages.
Concluding his remarks, the General Superintendent asked the nation of Israel to be measured in their response to the Hamas attacks that led to the death of more than 1,400 people, with over 200 others in bondage.
Rev. Wengam said, “We know that you (Israel) have been provoked to an unimaginable proportion; the Bible says, ‘We don’t meet anger with anger’. We will pray for restraint on behalf of Israel and divine guidance on how to deal with the issue at hand and also trust that the good Lord will intervene for these men, women, and children who have been held hostage”.
He assured that the “Lord will have mercy and send his angels … and in the coming weeks…there will be miraculous intervention”.
Furthermore, the Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Shlomit Sufa, called on all friends of Israel to stand with them in their tough times.
She recalled that “two weeks ago, which was October 7th, evil struck southern Israel beyond imagination”.
Ambassador Shlomit assured friends of Israel that Israel would win the battle against Hamas.
Present at the ceremony were the Burkinabe Ambassador to Ghana, H.E David Kabre, who is a member of the Cedar Mountain Chapel, and Rev Mark Morrow of USA, a missionary to Ghana.
