A wife loves and respects a husband who loves her. Submission is not a problem for women who are treated properly by their husbands. The 0 men who love their esp 
bears, giving them due attention and share intimate conversations, surely they will be building their marriages on a solid foundation that will keep them firm against the assaults of Satan.
"But because of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and each her own husband" (1 Cor 7:2). The husband who loves his wife, must battle alone against sexual temptation, and that such needs will be met fully with their own partner.
Paul was well aware of that and called for men and women lived harmoniously in meeting their marital relationships. Immoral sexual relations (illegal) lose much of its attraction for the Christian leader who is satisfied in the context of your own home.
By contrast, the husband or wife denying him his conjugal rights partner, is inviting the ruin of their marriage. Sex should never be used as a form of punishment, control or manipulate your partner selfishly.
E. STEPS TO VICTORY
All this makes sense and we know that is supported by the Bible. However, when the ministers in their ministries experience prosperity and pride is fed by the praise he receives, a sense of pride may begin to undermine their marriage.
1. Your first priority should be his wife
At this point, you must remember that the girl he married, is still his first priority. No matter how prosperous or important to create it is his ministry, certainly fail if you forget the God-given responsibility to his wife.
Proverbs is adamant about this kind of situation: "He who commits adultery is void of understanding; corrupts his soul that doeth. Wounds and dishonor shall he, and his reproach shall not be deleted.
For jealousy is the rage of man, and no spare in the day of vengeance. Do not accept any ransom, neither will he, though thou givest many gifts "(Proverbs 6:32-35).
God will forgive and forget the sins of the leader who falls and repents of heart. But people will not. They will remember for the rest of their lives, and many not sparing a man who fails them by way of moral failure. Such leaders will be prosecuted day and night by thoughts such as: "What could have been, had he not sinned."
2. Refrain from sin Morales
Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the men of God have been reprimanded by word and example, regarding the advisability of refraining from moral sins. Proverbs repeats this message: "The man who plays with sexual sin is a fool, and lacking in wisdom."
a. The sons of Eli ... resulted in the trial of God for their lives because they committed sexual sins with women who served at the entrance of the tent. B.
Samson ... failed and wasted his life because he committed fornication with Delilah. C.
Solomon ... author of Proverbs and he warns us about the dire consequences of adultery and fornication, lost favor with God by committing immorality. D.
David ... man after God's heart, suffered terrible consequences for life because he committed adultery with Bathsheba.
Despite all these biblical examples, many church leaders fall into these sins because they indulge in the pleasures of the flesh. However, do not have to yield to such sins. There are certain things you can do to ensure its protection of this sin that destroys men descuidan.Ya God that we discussed about the need to love his wife. This lays the foundation of our strength against these heinous sins, but other materials used for building the walls.
3. Staying Pure Decide
Make the final determination that will not commit the sins of fornication or adultery ... that will strive to remain pure in their service to God. Psychologists say that once a man has made a firm decision about something, never change their minds.
The Bible speaks about this when he speaks of "repentance that no regret" or a "repentance without regret" (2 Cor 7:10).
Once we make a final decision pec turn away from
ado to a degree not change your mind, then, we have entered a "repentance that no regret."
Many believe that adultery and fornication are sins for which we should not play, but often reserve a small corner in our minds to entertain the idea. We completely removed the thought of it in our minds or even challenge you to Satan when he presents the suggestion.
Brothers, to do that, they are sowing the seeds of its own destruction. No matter how small or insignificant are such thoughts are large enough to accommodate it to Satan control your mind.
4. Keep Your Thoughts
Make positive and decisive decision not to entertain thoughts of bad moral impurity. The Bible says: "Above all else, guard your heart [mind], because it is the wellspring of life" (Proverbs 4:23). Not only must we determine the will to be pure, but also put "a guard" at the entrance to our hearts and minds to take charge of rejecting any impure thought. It has been said that you can not prevent the birds flying over your head, but you can still prevent them nesting in their hair. If the enemy ground
an impure thought in your mind, reject it at the time. "Take your loins girded understanding" (1 Peter 1:13). That means tying loose immoral thoughts and exercise control over them. Do not allow your mind to become the vessel that uses the devil to take away.
God's servants are often attacked by impure thoughts, but must immediately reject them if they want to stay pure.
As a leader who comes to God's service, you can not afford to entertain thoughts of impurity.
They can enter without being invited, but it is their duty to throw out as a thief launch or homicidal. If we entertain the thoughts impure and immoral, we are giving Satan a foothold to be used for one day achieve our downfall.
"Because of the heart [mind] out ... adultery, fornication ... These are the things which defile a man "(Mt 15:19, 20).
If you are not willing to implement this determination, and not decide once for all "flee fornication", then do not enter the Lord's ministry. Do anything else you want, and give up completely to the ministry.
5. Flee Temptation
The man of God who wishes to protect, should "refrain from to
gives the appearance of evil "(1 Thessalonians 5:22). We can not take the risk to engaging in activities or go to places where it is likely that they are bad things.
When God created placed inside a force that will ensure the continuity of the human race. You can not fight against it outside the legitimate boundaries that God has outlined in His Word. Stubbornness is putting himself in a position to wake the dynamic force through their behavior or environment.
Some Christians believe that, given his faith in Jesus, are immune to sexual temptation. This is nonsense! The Bible tells us: "Resist the devil," but also says, "flee fornication" (James 4:7, 1 Cor 6:18).
We have power against all sorts of evil spirits and demons are subject to all that move in the dynamic power the Holy Spirit. However, God exposes clear instructions as to the sexual temptation is concerned, it is our duty to give a full turn and flee from it.
Joseph is an example of the way in which God desires that we deal with overt sexual temptation. When Potiphar's wife tried to seduce Joseph to commit adultery with her, the Bible tells us that "he left his garment in her hands and fled" (Genesis 39:12). This is how we deal with that temptation!
The flee fornication is not only obvious escape from the seduction, but also means to protect ourselves in situations prone to sexual temptation. For those of us in Christian ministry, this means we must be very careful during the time we spend in counseling with the opposite sex.
a. Never Be Alone. I know an evangelist who never stays alone with a person of the opposite sex. Every time I have to leave, his wife accompanies or is provided with a male member of his team. Pastors who are wise and devoted to purity, never allow circumstances that tend to give Satan an opportunity to tempt them.
When you have to offer counseling sessions with
the opposite sex, always ask a third person is present, and will never be a private situation. Keep the door open. Make it impossible that sin can take place, and certainly can not.
Paul says, "... make not provision for the flesh in its desires" (Romans 13:14). This means you should not do anything or be anywhere that will raise your carnal nature giving you the opportunity to take control over their behavior.
As I said before, God has placed within us the biological capacity to reproduce. It has also created a unique relationship in which the sexual impulse can be met legally. It is a blunder that we put ourselves in positions that tend to stoke the fires of the carnal nature, so that can not be turned off. If you play with such fire, surely it will burn ... very seriously.
6. Be Responsible
We understand that every man and woman has the same temptations that ministers suffer. Otherwise, the failure in this area would not be so common or so great proportions.
As a minister, often will be discouraged by their work. If you are not diligent, you will believe that no one suffers from the same struggles that you have. That is a lie of the devil. Be wise and protect yourself. Let God direct you to a brother (or sister if female) you can trust, and agree to help each other in this battle.
The Bible says that two are better than one. Jesus confirmed this when he sent the apostles to preach two by two. Having someone who can help when it is caught in a moment of weakness, is a tremendous protection especially in an area like this where we all have moments of weakness.
F. SUMMARY
The failure caused by sexual sin destroy their Minister
io, leaving a permanent scar on his soul. While many fall because of this sin, you do not have to necessarily be one of them. Let's review the steps you can take to protect against this fiery darts of the wicked.
1. Love your wife
The root of most sexual failure comes as a result of insecurity in your marriage. Preserve your home life and learn to love their wives as Christ loved His Church. Do not forget you promised to love her for the rest of his life, for better or for worse. She did not forget!
2. Keep Your Thoughts
Set your mind right now that will never compromise on immorality. Do not let thoughts enter your mind immorality. If they can infiltrate, toss them out immediately.
3. Do not give Satan
Opportunity Stay away from situations that might tempt him. Beware of the wiles of Satan.
not let him take advantage of you during marital counseling sessions or sometimes they have to deal extensively with the opposite sex. Do not be afraid of those times, but Face it wisely.
4. Get Help In Difficulties
Let a close friend, someone I can trust and respect, is a confidant who might reveal their secrets so that they can count on your help when you have difficulties in this area of \u200b\u200byour life. If you are facing temptations, that person will help you pray. It is a clumsy tackle such a situation only when you can count on the support of a trusted friend.
Jesus Christ is not who tempts us. He is always willing to help us when we cry to Him He wants us to be pure and to overcome all sorts of evil.
G. CONCLUSION
Pray this prayer right now and promise to keep hands clean and a pure heart in his service to the King:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know you called me to ministry and want to live in holiness [purity]. I praise and thank you because you never compromise your morals when you were tempted in all things, even in this way, You do not sinned.
When you asked me to refrain from satisfying the desires of the flesh and sexual sins, it was not intended to detract from happiness and joy to my life, but rather because they want to know the secrets of the abundant life that you have reserved for the pure of heart.
Consequently, I receive Your strength and justice for refusing to walk in purity and moral concessions. I will not nothing to do with sexual impurity. Flee from any form of moral sin. With your power and strength, I choose to walk in Your way and remain free of the scars left by wounds inflicted by the sins of fornication. Amen .- TD. THE SHEPHERD'S STAFF
