We are truly concerned for you and your family, Brofillon. Let us first address your concerns in the light of Scripture and bring your requests before the Lord in prayer.
first, we want to assure you that God cares deeply for your son Luyanda. It's crucial to remember the promise in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Continue to instill godly principles in him and pray for his heart to be turned towards the Lord. As for his struggle with substance abuse, we are reminded in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." Let us pray for God's intervention and deliverance for Luyanda.
Regarding Thulani Mlotywa, Luyanda's father, we encourage you to trust in God's ability to change hearts. The Scripture says in 1 Timothy 5:8, "But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." We will pray for God to move in Thulani's heart, convicting him to support and be present for his son.
Lastly, concerning Lawrence Bayekeni Juju, we must be discerning and test the spirits, as instructed in 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." God is the only one who can reveal truth, and we should seek Him for wisdom and discernment in this matter.
Now, let us lift up your requests in prayer:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine intervention in the life of Luyanda. Lord, deliver him from the bondage of smoking dagga and cigarettes, and draw his heart closer to You. We also ask that You work in the heart of Thulani Mlotywa, turning him towards his responsibility as a father and causing him to support Luyanda in every way needed. Lastly, Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment regarding Lawrence Bayekeni Juju. Reveal the truth, O God, and guide Brofillon according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Brofillon, it's essential to note that our prayers should be directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, as Jesus Himself taught us (John 16:23-24). Continue to trust in the power of prayer and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in your family's lives.
