Pastor Adeboye Has This To Say About Oyakilome's Teachings On Masturbation by juligon: 10:31am On Oct 05, 2017 |
The general overseer of the Redeemed Christian
Church of Nigeria, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, has reacted
sharply to a shocking revelation by Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome of the Believers Love World, a.k.a. Christ
Embassy, that masturbation was not a sin but a
habit, which has reverberated on the internet
including Youtube, with many people believing that
the statement would draw different reactions from
men of God in the coming days.
Pastor Adeboye while addressing the ministers and
workers of the church in Jos, north central Nigeria on
11th May said: “The pastor of Christ Embassy was
quoted by the press as saying there is nothing wrong
with masturbation.
“I want to tell you that everything is wrong with
masturbation, it is a sin against God and against
human nature. Anybody that practises it will go to
hell and it is a bad habit you must not get involved
as a Christian or as a pastor or worker in the
Redeemed Christian Church of God!
“It is a sin against God and your body is the temple
of Holy Spirit, masturbating is a way of defiling the
body (1 Cor. 3:16-18).”
The clergyman discouraged the members from such
doctrine while admonishing them to be fervent with
God and not to be carried away by every wind of
doctrines.
The video available on Youtube shows Pastor Chris
and another pastor of his church, Kwaku from Ghana,
who asked Oyakhilome thus while preaching: “Pastor,
how does one overcome masturbation?”
In response to his question, the clergyman, in the
video believed to have been uploaded in 2011 but
which has begun to spread like wildfire, said
masturbation is a habit just like any other habit and
that it is often misconstrued as a sin.
The reason you are thinking of stopping it is because
you think it has become a habit for you…
Masturbation is not more a habit than any other
habit.
“So once you make up your mind that you want to
break a particular habit, you just do it, you make up
your mind… in fact the best way to break a habit is
to replace it with another habit.
“There is one thing I would like to bring to your mind
that may be of help to you because the reason you
are thinking of stopping this is because of what you
think it is,” he said.
Using illustration, he said that if Kwaku was in the
habit of playing football, he would not be asking how
he should stop it.
He said: “No matter how wrong you think this is in
your mind, get this straight, in itself, it is not a sin
against God,” emphasizing that as a result of this
belief that it is a sin, Satan uses it to oppress people
of God, “making them feel ineffective and inefficient in
the things of God.”
He said for Christianity as a religion, this habit has
nothing to do with God but a lot to do with the body
of the person practising.
“Satan uses his power to accuse you… so if you don’t
like it, stop it, but God’s got nothing to do with it. It
is your own body.
“Masturbation is about you and your body. God is not
offended by it, He is only offended by any habit that
takes hold of your mind and if this takes hold of your
mind and dominates your body, God is offended.”
As expected of controversies, the video has generated
mixed opinions with some supporting the
controversial preacher’s position on the matter, while
others think the pastor is wrong.
Also reacting to Oyakhilome’s comment, the prelate
of Methodist Church Nigeria, Dr. Ola Makinde said
there was only one way of having sex permitted by
God in the Bible, which is only through marriage.
“There is only one way of having sex in the Bible
which is natural. Masturbation is unnatural and
unethical. Whatever is unnatural and unethical is
abomination. I leave him to his own opinion,” he
said.
For Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly,
every believer must be able to subject his body to
control because it could lead to something else.
Popular evangelist, Pastor Akin Fasawe said
masturbation is a sin as stipulated in the Bible,
saying that death was even recommended in the Bible
for those who practised such things.
“Masturbation is a sin because when you masturbate,
you will release. If the minister of God said
masturbation is not a sin, he can easily tell his
church that fornication is not a sin. The Bible
recommends death in the Old Testament,” he stated.
Also reacting on the issue, majority of informed
Nigerian readers indicated that they did not support
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s view on masturbation
through their comments on an earlier article on the
Oyakhilome’s statements. 2 Likes |
