Our Friend Israel is at War for Survival: A Call for Prayer and Action!

In these challenging times, we find ourselves witnessing a profound struggle for survival, as our friend Israel faces grave threats to its existence. This moment calls not just for awareness but for prayer, solidarity, and action—especially from us, the African brothers and sisters who understand the value of community, faith, and resilience.

Israel has been subjected to relentless hostility, and the rhetoric coming from countries like Iran serves as a stark reminder of the existential threats upon its existence. For decades, Iranian leaders have vowed to erase Israel from the map, a declaration that strikes fear and anguish in the hearts of many around the globe. History is not lost on us; the Jewish people have suffered persecution throughout the ages, with countless lives lost due to hatred and discrimination. The darkest chapters of their history began with the Holocaust, where Adolf Hitler’s regime brutally murdered six million Jews—a heinous act not only against the Jewish people but against humanity itself.

In this relentless battle for survival, we, the international community, cannot afford to stand idly by. We must rally behind Israel with conviction and compassion, recognizing that the fight against anti-Semitism is not just a Jewish issue but a human rights issue that should concern us all. This is a call to all Africans, Christians, and all people of conscience: Stand with the Jewish people. Stand against hatred and bigotry.

Our faith teaches us that we are all connected through our shared humanity. The lineage of our faith tradition finds its roots in the Jewish race. Figures such as Abraham, King David, and Jesus Christ are foundational to the beliefs we hold dear. For this reason, our bond with Israel runs deep, and we must acknowledge the spiritual debt we owe to the Jewish people.

The Bible speaks to us of God’s enduring promise to Israel. In Ezekiel 36:24, we read: “For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.” This verse is not only a promise of restoration but a prophetic declaration of hope and resilience. As believers, we must pray for the fulfillment of this divine promise and for God’s protection over Israel.

Furthermore, we hold onto the words found in Jeremiah 31:2-4: “This is what the Lord says: ‘The people who survive the sword will find favor in the wilderness; I will come to give rest to Israel.’” Let us modern-day warriors of faith pray fervently for Israel, invoking God’s everlasting love and support as they confront these dire challenges.

As we respond to this urgent call, I invite you to take action. You can contribute to the wellbeing of the Israeli people during this tumultuous period. Your donation can help support humanitarian efforts, whether it’s through providing sustenance to those in need or assisting in security measures. Together, let us stand in solidarity and make a difference. To support Google for Jewish Organizations and Support them.

In conclusion, may we join together as one voice, advocating for peace, standing against oppression, and demonstrating our unwavering support for Israel. With prayer, action, and a heart united in faith, we can contribute to a brighter future for all. May God’s promises be fulfilled, may peace prevail, and may Israel be safeguarded from its enemies.
