Beloved, never be perturbed that wicked practices seems to have become acceptable norm among humanity globally. Many times you see fellow human beings taken advantage of others with impunity.
The reason why such people either inside or outside the church are doing so, is because of their lack of knowledge. On this side of heaven both the law of God and law of Karma are functioning . What this simply means is that whatever you sow, you shall reap in due time, with interest. See how the scriptures put it.
Galatians 6:7-8. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
The reason why many failed to receive justice from God, is because of their impatience and lack of understanding. Don’t ever forget this. Every wicked acts done to a fellow human being, shall receive a just recompense with interest from God in due season.
There is no wickedness done against another person that goes unpunished . See what the scriptures says.
Ecclesiastes 8:11-13. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
Deuteronomy 32:35: To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Beloved, please endeavour to sustain and continue your righteous stance. Leave others also to continue in their wickedness and inhuman wicked practices. See what the scriptures says.
Isaiah 3:10-11. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
So if it pleased God, allow them to defraud you. Don’t fight for yourself. Submit yourself to what the scriptures says. See it.
1 Corinthians 6:7. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
The good Lord shall reward every evil doer , in due season here and hereafter.
Revelation 22:11-12. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Beloved, as a saint of. God, these are the things that must characterise your lifestyle , because of your eternal wellbeing. Receive grace to do them and the good Lord shall bless you in Jesus name. Never ever reward evil for God.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

The good Lord shall continually help you to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.
