MASTURBATION WILL RUIN YOU. HOW TO STOP IT

Waiting and hoping that you will stop one day is a mirage. Thinking that when you get married it will become a thing of the past is also not true. Read on!

Today, this article is coming to you from South-West Nigeria, Ogun State. It is a great privilege to come your way again with this topic that has kept many people in bondage and has weakened their spiritual, moral, financial, and physical lives.

Masturbation is the act of stimulating one’s private organ with the aim of deriving pleasure and sexual satisfaction, which can be done with any substance without the involvement of the opposite sex.

Sadly speaking, 3 out of 5 persons suffer from this act. Some try to ignore it, while others try to stop by themselves but still find themselves going back to it. Masturbation is no respecter of age, class, gender, men of God, the rich, the poor, or pagans.

Is masturbation a sin? If yes, how does it trap men?

Many years ago, while I was in high school on a very hot afternoon, we were dismissed from school one day. While going home with a classmate of mine, he shared with me how he engaged himself using soap and water. I was a teenager then, still a novice. That conversation I had with my friend plunged me into this satanic act that would not leave me until I became a youth.

Was I not praying to God to stop this problem? Yes, I did. Did I go back to it? Many times.

I gathered the courage to tell a pastor since I was told that the power of sin lies in secrecy. So, in order not to continue in this infirmity secretly, I shared it with this man of God. He prayed with me and counselled me, and with joy, I believed it would never happen again.

The following week, I found myself in this shameful act again. I lost all my spiritual gifts; all the grace I carried as a teenager disappeared. I wept many times for God to deliver me. It all stopped for a few months and later came back even stronger.

Now, is masturbation a sin? I tell you for free, it is a great sin, and God frowns at it. You lose His presence, and not just that, you lose your self-worth. It can lead to a hard life on earth. You lose peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, and sadly speaking, you may never fulfil your divine and glorious destiny.

Since Satan cannot be everywhere at every time, he possesses a generation with demons and agents that end up ruining the lives of many.

I was with a friend the other day, and while discussing, he mentioned something I can never forget. He said, “A nation will continue to experience corruption, lack, hunger, war, political and economic decline until the matter of sexual immorality is totally dealt with,” and I agree.

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” — Proverbs 14:34

I have come to the conclusion that unless we cry to God for His mercy, masturbation has the capacity to ruin a life and keep families in confusion.

In order to keep this article from becoming too long, I will share “How to Stop It” in Part 2.
