I'm so happy to be here again this year to give another testimony of my victory. I celebrate today five years since I buried the addiction of pornography and masturbation, which had plagued my life for many years. Glory to God who wiped my tears!

There are generally two groups of people struggling with addiction:
1. Those who are addicted but secretly enjoy it and don't see anything wrong with it as they have given up entirely, accepted their fate, and invite others to join them in their doom.
2. Those who are tired, who sincerely want to quit the addiction and cry behind closed doors, but have always failed.

It is to the latter group I direct this testimony. Beware!
You see that if someone could do it and hasn't returned to the addiction in five years, you also can do it and break free if you really want!

All my journey and challenges, as well as my past success stories are recorded here on Nairaland, on the great platform where I met fellow fighters facing the same struggle - Masturbation Quitting Challenge Thread
https://www.nairaland.com/5223408/masturbation-quitting-challenge-thread

Note: As I've always emphasized, I didn't replace this addiction with sex (as many people propose as a solution). All through my recovery stages till now I've never engaged in sex, as I'm not yet married. Glory to God!

Remember I was also told that it was 'impossible' to quit this addiction when you were hooked. I also suffered terribly. I had also failed and failed, until I looked at this addiction with red eyes and said 'enough is enough, today na today!'

This testimony is to encourage anyone struggling with the same (or any other) addiction that total victory is possible. Seek help. Run to God. Engage in accountability. Don't give up!

I told God something back then: I want to be a model to youths (especially young men) that you can live without any addiction and without premarital sex. God granted my request and here I am today five years after! Brothers, yes it is hard but this is possible. This is my life now. JESUS is KING!

Till next year. God spare my life.

Long live Nairaland!

This Jesus is King trend is demonic. Anybody can say Jesus is King but it is only those who believes and accepts him can truely say he is Lord.

Making Liverpool look like they are untouchable.

Dogs are and will forever be a man's best friend.
Humans are worse and will do far more terrible things for whatsoever reason.

That said, people who don't understand or can't raise/handle dogs have no business breeding them.

just read what you just wrote how can you compare humans with dog? If I was God I would change you now to dog so that you can meet your best friend.

@greencard get a befitting demographics attached to your thread so we can campaign it unto FrontPage by a nairaland moderator for wider inputs.

Wittyness

Kobojunkie:
Do you have proof that you have in fact done that yourself?

yes sir. ROM 10:10

Kobojunkie:
And you must be one of them religious nutcases since you seek to fit me into a religious folder amongst your kind!

😆😆😆 give your life to Christ.

Kobojunkie:
That is a rubbish story abeg! Your inner voice is not God. And no one possessed by the Spirit Paul spoke of would seek the counsel of any other man, even even if refers to himself as a pastor.

you must be a Jehovah witness.

pachigo001:
igbos not delta igbos

so you guys see them as equal now 😆😆

Ilamina:
I thought ovie was a delta name

Delta has 4 major ethnic groups namely; Uhrobo, Ijaw, Itsekiri and the delta Igbos. Ovie is an Uhrobo name. There's nothing like delta language. Delta does not have a particular language except pidgin.

Amen

Glory to God.

Kobojunkie:
Provided one lives in continuous submission and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ as stipulated by Jesus Christ Himself in John 8 vs 31 - 36, you are looking at approximately 4 years.

how did you arrive with such figure? 4 years? But the Samaritans in Acts 8 received the Holy Ghost almost immediately after salvation.

Happy Birthday To me!🎊🎂🎉
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all my iniquities; who healeth all my diseases;

Who redeemeth my life from destruction; who crowneth me with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth my mouth with good things; so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's.

10yrs now

ok, how did the Op go about it.

Hallelujah! Jesus the same yesterday the same today and the same forever. What a supernatural encounter.

RoyalDiadems:
The Bible is God's message to the world.

The individual speeches are not our focus. We focus on the message that makes it the Word of God.

so true

OkCornel:
So where demons spoke, it’s also the “word of God”

Where Satan spoke, it’s also the “word of God”

Interesting…

read with understanding.

RoyalDiadems:
Calling the Bible the word of God does not refer to individual Bible characters.

The Bible is the word of God because it's backed by the Spirit of God. Even where demons spoke, you learn something about God, His power, and they of God's enemy.

anyone who still argue with this submission is lost.

RoyalDiadems:
Correct!

No matter who's speaking, once the word is backed by the Spirit of God, it becomes the Word of God.

Any word spoken by anybody becomes Buhari's word if such word is backed by Buhari.

The Bible is the Word of God because it's backed by the Spirit of God.

very true

Kobojunkie:
■ Knowing God is different from believing a book written of the hands men in human language is the the Truth of God.

Knowing God is a whole parallel universe away from believing a book will save you. That is what Jesus Christ warned the Pharisees who thought it was in scripture that they could find the secret to eternal life.

Again, ask simple questions here of these ideas of yours..

▪︎ Did the Almighty Himself declare anywhere in scripture that your Bible infallible and of Him?.

▪︎Did God, in scripture decree, that His Truth to be your Bible and not Jesus Christ?

▪︎Did God command His very own Spirit of Truth to abide inside of your Bible to serve as a seal of what you call its infallibility?

you are an anti Christ.

MaxInDHouse:
The Bible is just like a letter God used people from a nation (Israel) to write it as His secretaries then sent it to all the nations through a group His only begotten Son established!

As for how to know about the existence of God people from all nations have agreed upon that due to the things they see and heard.
So unlike other nations that learned about God through sight and sound the Bible is to help you know more in details Sir!

God bless you for such an intelligent response

Kobojunkie:
All you have done here is serve up more of the same soundbites spewed by your pastors and mogs regarding their claim that the Bible is the word of God but nothing tangible evidence provided to prove their conclusion as being of God.

▪︎Ask yourself simple questions here. Did the Almighty Himself declare anywhere in scripture that your Bible infallible and of Him?.

▪︎Did God, in scripture decree, that His Truth to be your Bible and not Jesus Christ?

▪︎Did God command His very own Spirit of Truth to abide inside of your Bible to serve as a seal of what you call its infallibility?

---

The problem with soundbites Christianity , born of the doctrines of men , is it nothing but an attempt at using misdirection to tackle that which is of God. Those who cling to these doctrines and traditions of men come off even more ignorant of the Truth of God than they were from the beginning. You need to offload that junk if God is who you truly intend to know .

And how did you know about Jesus or salvation is it not through the bible?

You advised me to know God, how am I going to know him, is it not through his word the bible? If there's any other way lemme know.

THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD

Currently, there are some group of present day preachers who emphasize so much on the supernatural and believes they are being raised to correct some doctrinal errors in the body of Christ. Though Christianity itself is supernatural and believers are to live supernaturally, it's shouldn't be our main emphasis. Our emphasis is Jesus (the living word of God). We are to live and be guided by the word. John1:1, 5:39

Their new revelation is that the bible is not the word of God. Some even went as far as saying Paul and the Apostles made some errors. Their argument is that the number of times God speaks in the bible is just but a few.

Yes, that's true because God is not a talkative, he most times chose a willing vessel to speak through. And this was how most of the scriptures was written, Holy Ghost breathed/inspired.

2Tim.3.16 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Pet.1.20 - Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pet.1.21 - For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Rom.2.16 - In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. ( Or letter)

Isa.34.16 - Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Rom.2.16 - In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. ( Or letter)

Josh.1.8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Ps.1.2 - But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. [/b]

So this new teaching of the bible is not the word of God is a fallacy.

Hespee93:
Bro, this is the most painful part, many were even saying that hr should have left with his colleagues when his IT ended, but I understand his reason why he choses to stay and work.

so sad. May his gentle soul Rest in peace

Hespee93:
Let me clear air on this matter as I can see error in this report.

As claim by student unio that Matrix Energy is trying to cover up the casualties.

The incident occoured on the 8th of July which started at 19:30hrs, mean while the staff and IT's that are within the depot ran towatds the jety to avoid the gas explosion from the loading truck hitting them because most people thought that the fire would would touch the two main gas storage tanks.

Many jumped into the river while some other ran far away from the depot on land.

As the time of press release on 9th Sartuday, no causalties was recorded as nobody was announced missing or dead. Even the truck driver that had injury during escape was declare okay and healthy.

It was Sunday morning that the security that do stay at the jety discover that something was floating on the river, he quickly raised the alerm anf the appriopraite personnel move down their.

3 bodies were recovered which include 1 IT and 2 staffs, among the staff was a formal IT who seek to stay and work after his completion of his IT December last year. The second staff was employed month ago.

The 3 of them drown as they were unable to swim when they jump into the lagoon and it was already dark, so nobody noticed or saw them, even the community boys were around with their speed boats and they helped to rescue thosethey saw in the lagoon to get out of the water.

I'm also currently doing my IT programme at MAtrix Energy, I left Warri for Sallahthe day the incident happend.

Please try to read through, cos I'm on able to correct errors.

Sunny was the only son of a single mother. He was young, quiet and peaceful. I only see him when he is on vacation. He stays close to where i work. When i saw the heading, i hoped it shouldn't involve anyone i know because i have some of my boys and acquitances there. Oh what a loss.

Aniluvreal:
So I am faced with this problem of feeling sleepy anytime I picked up the bible to read, whether it's the hardcopy or the downloaded ones in my phone, I feel sleepy when i want to read it. But I can read other voluminous books/materials from cover to cover without blinking my eyes talkless of sleeping.

I am so disturbed about this, I need help please.

well, it's simple. Start reading your bible whenever you wake up in the morning because at that time your most alart and you will barely fall asleep.
