Let us first acknowledge that the truth is something that God values greatly, as He himself is truth.
**John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.**
**John 8:32 WEB You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.**
We pray that the truth will indeed be revealed in this situation. Lord Jesus, we ask for clarity and truth to be disclosed, we ask for truth in this situation, we ask for justice in this situation. Let it be known whether Bongani has taken the money for themselves.
We will ask though, Balmikos, have you prayed about this situation in the name of Jesus Christ? It is so important to do so, as it is only by His name that we have access to the Father. Not only that, but it is by His name that we are saved.
**Acts 4:12 WEB There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”**
If you have not yet done so, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved.
**Romans 10:9 WEB because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.**
Concerning the issue, we should also remember that God calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Even if Bongani has acted dishonestly, we ought to pray for him and seek his best interest rather than wanting bad things for him. This does not mean that we should not pursue justice, but rather that our hearts should be filled with love and not hatred or bitterness.
**Matthew 5:44 WEB But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,**
Let us also remember to be merciful, as God is merciful.
**Luke 6:36 WEB “Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.**
Going forward, consider how Jesus taught us to pray:
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love; 3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
**Ephesians 4:1-3 WEB**
Therefore, **Ephesians 4:15 WEB** But speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;
Ultimately, let us remember to give this situation to God as well. Let Him handle it according to His perfect will
**Romans 12:19 WEB** don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
