T his article is design to help the failing pastors to avoid certain pit falls, and to cover his tracts in case he falls. First! Think of your calling, what the lord calls you to do. This is the reason why you were created. If you fail, thousands fail. There are other lives greater than your life which are depending on your success. You do not want your conduct to null your calling. Second! Think of your wife's safety. Many time women ask me if my wife died if I would marry again, I told them no, many of them never spoken to me again.
If a woman finds out that she can lay you down, she tries to kill your wife and take her place. The same woman also plants evidence, just in case you refused to marry to her, she can blame the killing on you. Think of the funeral cost, the suspicions, the harassment from the police and prosecutors. Think of the hate from your wife's family, and the disdained from your own children.
HOW TO COVER YOUR PATH:
Do not have sex with women close to home. Do not sleep with women in your own parish, that mean in your own church community. Do not touch other man’s wives, because if what she had is good, you will continue going with her until you get caught and killed. Do not preach what you are not living. Be careful what you say. You might have to eat your word.
Our creator endued all his creation with the gift of procreation, if these instincts were to be suppressed, we would could never survived as earthling. The way some people talk about sex, and how nasty it is, I had to wander what planet they came from. Just look around us, where all the children came from? They all comes from sex.
If sex is a sin, then eating food, drinking water, going to the toilet, and having a shower is also sin. Sex was not intended by our creator, to be ignored. Regardless of how we might sound around the pulpit, no body achieves a sexual utopia of purity. Over forty years of my Christians walk, I have seen Judges, Politicians; police, lawmakers; and pastors bowed out of their positions because of so-call sexual mis conduct.
FORNICATIONS:
Christians are of the opinion that sexual misconducts is the only sin in the Bible. When dealing with words, and their cognition, we must interpret the word in its time frame. For example, to get the true meaning of the word fornications, you have to go back to the time when the apostles first use the word. What the word mean during the time when the apostle first used it, is what it supposes to mean today. What the dictionary said it mean today, could be in questions. You also need to look at the Greek root meaning of the word. For example, many bible translators translate the word (slave) to justified slavery.
GETTING THE FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT SALVATION IS:
Pastors who are living the Christians life by works, take a hard beating of conscience, when they take some sex on the side. Since the Christians’ religion only believe in one wife for one man, the Christian wives take advantage of that fact, and use sex to manipulate the marriage bed. As a psychiatric Technician, I counsel people daily and have deal with this problem for ages.
1 Cor. 7:1-5 (KJV) Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. [2] Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. [3] Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. [4] The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. [5] Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY:
Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Only God can chance our vile body, it take time and dedication for us to do it. Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body.
According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.
PERFECTING THE SAINTS IS A WORK OF GOD:
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
TO CONTINUE GROWING IN GOD:
1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
2 Peter 1:5-10 (NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.
FINDING OUT YOUR CALLING:
When I was newly save, the believers always, ask me if I know the will of God for my life! I never really know what they were talking about. Every person that was saved had a mission and a gift. However, because you are just a babe in Christ, you do not know any of these. As you go on with the lord his will for you will unfold day bay day. Do not run off and make any big commitment. Your mates has to be tailors made for you by God. You are now a citizen of heaven. Heaven does not rule by democracy. You cannot serve God with democratic mind set.
SOMETIME ONLY JESUS CAN HELP US
Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
