My uncle has always had drinking and smoking issues, going out in the morning and returning in the late of the night dead drunk. He's always in arguments with my grandparents but it's become worse after his wife died during childbirth a year ago... Now the arguments are much much worse, my grandpa told him not to come for his burial or touch his dead body if he continues with his way of life and he said he wasn't planning on coming either way, my grandma told him he'll go to hell if he doesn't change and he said he didn't care that he'll find people to hang out with in hell.... He's my grandparents first child and first son and in our culture here, the first son is seen as the head of the family, the mirror of a family and it's a great shame if the first son acts the way my uncle acts... He's been battling joblessness for more than 9 years now.... He was single till 42 and his marriage didn't last a year before his wife died, he's been living with my grandparents since forever now. He's not responsible enough to take care of his daughter and my grandparents are thinking of giving her to my mum until things are better there. He smokes all day long, he went for rehab once but it didn't change anything, he injects whatever's possible to inject, He says he'll take his daughter and run away and no one wants that for the 1 year-old baby girl... He hangs out with terrible people who have no good influence on him, he sometimes teals from my grandparents..... any attempt he tries to make to get a job always ends up in vain, He's the cause of worry among his younger siblings including my mum... He sleeps with different women and my grandparents are tired of it all. My grandpa said he won't talk to him till he dies, that all he's gonna do is keep on praying for him. He brings tears to all of our eyes and it would be pure cruelty if we did nothing about him. I know he is facing serious warfare and i want you all to please and please and please join us in our prayers for him, Please. it would be highly appreciated if you can add him to your morning/night prayers or even if it's just for a minute, please. Thank you.

Praying for you all sis. You are right, its Definitely spiritual warfare and only through Jesus Christ can this situation with your grandparents and uncle be reconciled.

I pray for conviction for your uncle and also protection since he’s being careless about his life. Only the Holy Spirit can change him :)

Keeping your family in prayers and remember, God is the God of the impossible and we must have faith that your uncle will overcome such tribulations through the Power and conviction of God ❤️ F8431C8B-E2E6-4FB6-9DF8-C6254E42B74B.jpeg F8431C8B-E2E6-4FB6-9DF8-C6254E42B74B.jpeg

My prayers are with you, For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. This is truly a sad situation and it happens a lot. I have an uncle who had a baby who died slowly of a disease. now he is angry at GOD. I am not sure of any intervention that will help except prayer. Satan has a tight grip on your uncle and you are right he is in a spiritual war. He knows what is right from the example you and your grandparents have been. His lifestyle shows he is angry and hiding from GOD. You and you grandparents need to be there for him when he falls. He will fall, GOD is reaching out for him but he needs to take his hand. GOD can use you or someone else in his life to show him the light. Until then, " May the peace of GOD which transcends
