As the Body of Christ is becoming Stronger and stronger, so also the enemy i working to make sure, they are not doing well before their God so that, they will miss out of inheritance, there is nothing that fosters poverty and wretchedness like sin and most especially “Sexual Sins“.
So the enemy is not resting and we must also stay aware of his skims so that we won’t be a victim, there are many pastors today who are out of Ministry because they got into the hand of the wrong woman and the story was not a good ending.
It is a work that can be fully overcome by the Grace of God not the works or effort of men, for by strength shall no man prevail 1 Samuel 2 : 9 . But even as we solely depend on the grace of God to make this possible, we must also take heed to certain instructions, steps and strategic lifestyle to the end that, it will be the least thing that the enemy would use to get hold of us, when you live in the light of this reality and procedures, you can block the tendencies to 95% and be free.
1. Take Heed : The bible says, Let him that thinketh he stand, take heed lest he fails – 1 Corinthians 10 : 12. Don’t think, you are above temptation, especially Sexual temptation, you are not above it, that is exactly why you must be careful, take heed and be cautious of what you do and how you live your life daily. Taking heed can also mean that you apply wisdom in everything that you are doing, there are certain steps that can lead and end up into this mess, you must ensure you take heed and never come into a place of taking such steps.
2. Don’t say It can’t happen to you : This Sin as to do with our feelings, emotions, body and lust, don’t bring pride into it, your Spirituality not withstanding, you need an higher grace to stand against sexual perversion. Been spiritual is not enough, you must seek help if you are on the verge of taking a decision that might lead into this destructive way of Life, for instance; as a Pastor, a lady as been coming for counselling daily with highly exposive cloths and wears that are seductive, then you have to take step against such continues coming so that it will save your ministerial responsibility .
3. Give Yourself to Praying : Brethren, it doesn’t matter what sought of mountain it can be that is confronting you every now and then, if only you will give yourself to continual praying, you are gonna come out victorious! Prayer is said to be the master key! You can always Disadvantage your enemy on the Altar of PrAYER! When you come to a state of prayerlessness, when you find it really hard and difficult, just know that destruction is at the corner, you must learn to always give yourself to praying! The bible says – men ought always to pray, and not to faint; – Luke 18 : 1. Don’t ever fail in your daily prayer responsibility, when you are on fire for God, giving yourself to continual praying, there is no way the enemy will gain access into your Life and Ministry at all.
4. Be Addicted to the Word of God : Yeah! The Bible says, And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified – Acts 20 : 32. So God’s word is powerful and it also grant men access into their inheritance, when you give yourself continually to the word of God, you are bound to experience victory on every side and destroy every scheme of the enemy, remember the other day after the longtime fast and retreat that Jesus had with the lord and the devil came to tempt, Jesus didn’t bother pray, he was just dealing with the Devil by the word of God that can never ever fail. Hallelujah! So we must get ourselves acquainted with the word of God.
5. Don’t engage in Unhealthy Relationship with Opposite Sex : Women are cunny, you can not be running away from them and you still decide to be their friend, especially in unhealthy relationship, you have to be careful. Many at times, women who seduces and sexually harass pastors are on a mission to get them disconnected from God and distract them so that they will fail and sometimes, eventually run out of ministry, so you have to be spiritually alert and awake, and take the warfare before the lord in Prayers, this is very important.
