Jonathan’s Ex-aide, Reno Omokri Rejects Prayers Offered Him By A Muslim by lekanolas: 8:09am On Nov 01, 2020
A former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has rejected prayers offered him by one of his followers on social media who is a Muslim.

In rejecting the prayers, Omokri said he does not accept prayers from Muslims because Christians and Muslims don't serve the same God.

Quoting from the Bible and the Quran, Omokri said it was clear that both faiths serve different God.

He stated that in Quran 17:111, it is written that God does not have a son but the In Scripture, in Matthew 3:17, God spoke from heaven Himself and said “This (Christ) is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

He noted that both statements are contradictory. and could not have emanated from the same God because HE is not the author of confusion.

Continuing, the former Jonathan's aide said he does not accept a prayer not said in the name of Christ.

His words "We do not serve the same God. You have yours and we have Ours. And I can ONLY say amen to a prayer said in the Name of Christ."

He advised his Muslim followers to stop following him if his understanding of religion bothers them, noting that he is not prepared to compromise on his beliefs so he can be popular or have followers.

It is clear this guy does not understand religious tolerance for all his acclaimed exposure. Even the pope accepts prayers from anyone. When someone prays for u it is only a wish u can ask the deity u believe in to accept it if it's pleasing to u

Reno is and has always been an extremist. In every Yoruba family, there is at least a christian or a muslim and the basic understanding that binds us in peace and harmony is that we are yorubas (humans) first before anything else. Reno would do well to inculcate this idea rather than continue to push this divide that even the Pope is advising against.

Religious divide is soo powerful in that if it goes away today, a sizeable portion of the world's problem would go away with it too.

What is his and Ur point exactly? When u are exposed u don't say everything u feel cos somethings are sensitive and we should be silent about them cos it does society more good than u trying to be utterly right. And even from the religious point, D JUDGEMENT DAY WILL SHOCK U GUYS

One of the grand deception of this age is the continual push by the Muslim folks that Allah is the same as Jehovah...............The bible neither talked about Allah or made any reference to the Arabian deity, but the Qu'ran continually stress that their god and the Christian God is one and yet DENYING that he has a son - JESUS Christ.

If you can't deduce the point from Reno's tweet and the explanation I gave..then you have more readings to do...



Why should he be silent about his views? He doesn't want it...And just so other Muslims won't silently pray for him...He has to bring it up.


And no judgement day will surprise anyone...You Muslims will be given 72virgis to deflower abi? So you should be putting all your energy to gather more energy to knack 72 sweet16 that day!

We are not serving the same God.I blame the foolish Muslims who always want to be liberal when Allah (swt)says their religion for them and your religion for you.
If you offered me prayer in the name of Jesus,I will never say Amin or amen.

I think he is totally wrong in saying this in social media.....if Christianity is peace I beg you to preach peace.... there's a way you will relate with an evil person he will end up changing his way of life to suit yours....St Augustine never accepted Christ by force, it was the attitude of Christians around him that convinced him to. We as children of the most high should learn how to tolerate other religion so that they can learn something good from us and see reason why they should have a change religion. Peace my brother Reno and not war.

All the more reason nobody should play God or holier than thou. Know that we are going to be judged based on our individual actions and the Grace of God. So it's all man for himself.

Religion is a grave barrier. It divides the coercion of humanity by creating rifts and conflicts among people of the same tribe, nation or association. It turns brothers to sworn enemies/friends to foes. Little wonder its the opium of the masses

Even the prophet PBUH accepted prayers from non Muslims and even known idol worshippers. I have a Christian step mum who calls me every now n then to pray for me. I see sincerity in her words and say aameen before she says in Jesus name and to God be the glory for my life

So they concluded thier prayers by saying in Jesus name.Am not here to argue with anyone since I don't know thier level of understanding of my religion.
All I can say without mincing words is that Reno is � correct.

Any child of God who understands the Bible will see the truth in what Reno said.

It doesn't mean he's an extremist, he said it as it it.

You can't be lukewarm as a Christian, you're either cold or hot, even Jesus said he'd spit you out if you're lukewarm.

We are to be at peace with all men irrespective of our religious differences, eat with them, work with them and pray for the salvation of the souls of those who are lost and also preach the word of God to them but the only name given on earth on whom we can pray is the name of Jesus.

2Tim 3:16-17

Let them that have ears hear.

If you believe in the power in the name of Jesus, then you'll accept if you are prayed for in that name.

It all boils down on belief.

Me I won't kneel down and let an Ifa priest pray for me, no be even all pastors I dey allow to lay hands on me.

Many people think that God is the English word for allah.

This is far from the truth.

Looking at their characteristics there is a massive difference.

Even the Moslems unknowingly accept that allah is not God

Look at the oath they swear in Lagos, if God & allah are the same why are both on the page?

If allah is arabic for God, why has the name allah appeared on a page in English?


Source of image
https://www.nairaland.com/6209030/lagos-judicial-panel-oath-secrecy


allah even confirmed that he does not guide Christians becos God guides Christians NEVER allah


So we can see that God & allah are different

More proof
