By Stanley Goreraza| South Africa is one of the best destinations for medical treatment and advanced health care in the world. If South Africa found Constantino Chiwenga’s medical condition beyond their abilities that they had to refer him a third country, it means Chiwenga’s condition is of a very serious and life threatening nature.

It is not some simple abdominal problem.

If we are to please God then it is binding on us to practice what I call Jesusness. Jesusness instructs us to pray for him no matter what he did or has done. We are to leave the judging to God Almighty. We are to love our enemies as Jesus loved the men who crucified him that he prayed for them and asked God to forgive them.

By sincerely praying for him, we purify our hearts of hatred and desire for revenge. Both hatred and revenge are darkness. When we remove darkness, light enters. By asking God to heal him, God forgives us for our own sins.

Much has been done by Chiwenga that caused the spilling of blood and dropping of tears. Chiwenga has caused untold pain to many. Some are widows, some orphans, some have nothing to eat and some do not have shelter because of what Chiwenga and his confederates have done.

We must leave them to God. By asking mercy for them we ask mercy for ourselves and our country. We acknowledge that we too have sinned and desire God’s mercy and forgiveness just as Chiwenga does.

We cannot desire mercy and forgiveness for ourselves and not others.
