Feed/Tend My Sheep.

I write this with a heavy heart this morning knowing that the issue I'm writing about is very common and unfortunately in the household of faith especially those we are happy that they're being used by God at an early stage in life. 
.
To the young single men of God in the house, this is for you today. Please do not see this as judgmental but see it as a token of love for you, your ministry and destiny and I pray that God will open the eyes of your mind to this in Jesus name, Amen.
.
The Bible in John 21:15-19 talked about a conversation between Peter and Jesus, He (Jesus) asked thrice if Peter loves Him and he replied yes but was given an assignment with emphasis three times, 'Feed My lambs, tend My sheep and lastly feed my sheep' which literally means to tend, care for, and provide spiritual food for God’s people. 
.
From the youngest lambs to the full-grown sheep, in continual action to nourish and care for their souls, bringing them into the fullness of spiritual maturity and what is this food? The Word of God, you are to provide them with the pure milk of the Word of God so they can be nourished and move on to the meat (solid food) for the spiritually mature (Heb.5:12-14) and that is your proof of love for Christ.
.
Why then is this not happening again? You have moved from giving spiritual food to sexual and emotional feast, your anointing is now to attract, you are the same brother with sister A, sister B, and at the same time still thinking of sister C, is this the proof of your love for Christ? Yes some ladies can bring themselves to you and you know these types. These days it starts with brother and sister in the Lord to brother and sister in bed.
.
Don't forget that two men were lured by women in the Bible (Samson and Joseph) but the difference is the condition of their heart. No man or woman can lure you into immorality if you don't allow it, it starts from your heart. 
.
What is going on in your thought young minister - to yield or desist? Samson lusted and fell (Judges. 16:6) but Joseph could not do a wicked thing to the God he loves (Gen.39). How well do you love this God whom you serve?
.
Another common issue is when you are the lecturer who started introduction to romance with sisters, you receive different sisters per time, leave them at will and yet you claim to love God, how true? 
.
Don't forget that you will account for every soul that comes your way, why are you so particular about ladies, the sheep/lamb Christ talked about is not feminine, its both gender and so if your weakness is ladies, why not invest more in men while working out your weakness with His grace.
.
My beloved brother, the devil is also aware of your calling and the exploits you're capable of doing for God; he is ready to stop this from happening and he has no other weapon than the garment of immorality, why not make a decision like Joseph that you will not do this wicked thing and sin against God, why not cry to God to rescue you if you've gone far into this? 
.
The gifts and calling of God are without repentance, yes but you can lack power and the presence of God thereby making the person rest on past glory, my father my God, I pray for you from the depth of my heart this morning, that your glory will not be a thing of the past in the name of Jesus. This is another opportunity to retrace your steps and fulfill your ministry in truth, love, godliness and humility. 
.
Remember, I am not judging you but take this as a token of my love for you especially in this season of love, control your erection, being a man of God does not mean you won't have erection or emotion but you must control it, let your vision/calling be more than your emotion!
