Shepherds after God's own heart/perfect-will:
Jesus Christ confirms that the solution to people living in sin/flesh and lawlessness is the *absence of shepherds after God's heart in our communities*

"Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
(Matthew 9:35-38 NKJV)

Do not exclude yourself because you are not officially ordained in any physical church building or group because every human being who believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is a *shepherd*

You are first and foremost the shepherd of your own soul; that you may submit it unto Christ Jesus Crucified for salvation and an unbroken relationship with the true living God consistently and progressively till eternity.

You are the shepherd of every human being that you encounter on this earthly existence, it is time to start responding to the prayer of Jesus for more laborers into His harvest by allowing Christ life within you to reach-in to your soul and reach-out to all other human beings near you at each point in time.....

Stop saying, it does not concern you, I am not their parents or I am not the government or I am not his spouse hence I cannot correct an anomaly within my surrounding....

Jesus did not tell his disciples to pray for
more politicians;
more doctors;
more scientist;
more engineers;
more money;
more church-structures;
rather
*SHEPHERDS*
Because they are *weary and scattered* like sheep without *shepherd*

it is only through our human mind that we call them thieves, prostitutes, touts, lesbians, homosexuals, sexual-immorals, perverts, criminals, fraudsters, religious-extremists e.t.c.
but Jesus saw a different thing about them....."sheep that are weary and scattered without shepherd"
thus
"Return, O backsliding children,” says the Lord; “for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. 15 *And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will "feed you" with knowledge and understanding.*
16 “Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says the Lord, “that they will say no more, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore.
17 “At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the Lord, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem. No more shall they follow the dictates of their evil hearts."
(Jeremiah 3:14-17 NKJV)

"Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent. 4 And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day’s walk. Then he cried out and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”

5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. 6 Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying,

Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?

10 Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it." (Jonah 3:1-10 NKJV)

Are you willing to submit to the mercy and grace of becoming a shepherd according to the heart/purpose of GOD in this generation now ?
