That's the point where the devil want you to get too. A point where you won't feel remorse, it's bad to sin but worse when you don't feel remorse then the devil will leave you to battle yourself he won't bother tempting I'll again. Then the battle will be between your heart and mind.

You see masturbation as a no sin that's how some suicide bombers, Ritualistic, fornicators see it as nothing. That's the aim of the devil if you don't feel remorse you can't repent. A man mad only feel ashamed when he realizes he's Naked.

I'm not a saint just giving you my own advice I like it when I feel guilt after committing sin don't justify your sins it's worse.

u didn't get me, let me rephrase it

MASTURBATION IS NOT A SIN
I'm not only seeing it as not being a sin,

WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS IN NIGERIA LIKE KIDNAPPERS, HERDSMEN, POVERTY, HUNGER AND SICKNESSES.

IF YOU WERE EVEN SLIGHTLY SENSIBLE YOU WILL FOCUS ON PROVIDING THE SO CALLED SPIRITUAL WEAPONS TO DEFEAT THOSE.

THAT YOU FOCUS ON HARMLESS, UNIMPORTANT MASTURBATĮON INSTEAD OF OTHER CRITICAL SITUATIONS IN NIGERIA SHOWS HOW YOUR LIFE LACKS DIRECTION AS A CHRISTIAN.

The devil is a liar. He will make you focus on lesser sins like Masturbation.

Instead of you to focus on Fornication which is one of the greatest sins. Almost all young ones dating
in Nigeria have fornicated. Adultery is also a norm, most households in Nigeria, either one of their partner
have committed adultery.

The repercussion of these above sins have led Nigeria to what is it today. So many diseases and illnesses we dont have
in yesteryears. Also, focus on kidnapping, rape, rise in poverty, murder, ritual killing and yahoo yahoo that is rampant in Nigeria.

All these have caused us to be in Sins.

I am not saying Masturbation is good. But the way you people that are fornicators and adulterers paint it is terrible.
MASTURBATORS are better than you in the sight of God. You see them fucking around abusing guys who are trying to be virgins.

@Inteltower OP, focus on the above. If you have fornicated before, ask for God forgiveness.

Oga, there's nothing like smaller sin anywhere. sin na sin.. infact, masturbation is like homosexuality.. its like having same sex, but here u are having it with yourself....

I too have been in the act masturbation & shameful about it. it was a struggle, I resisted many times & fell to it many times. as a Christian I knew it was abnormal & there were many factors that can cause one to masturbate like not only at the attractiveness of women, but high libido, sociocultural & economic condition (normally from 24/25 one should be getting married), spiritual husband/wife, porn & erotic images, sex chat & immoral songs.

So you see the temptation of masturbation can come in diverse forms, & even if it is not masturbation as a reaction/response you see people committing other immoral acts like premarital sex (gf/sugar mommy/prostitute), homosexuality, rape, sex imaginations, defiling children (not cool), etc

My focus is on Masturbation & for those who think its right, it ain't because it isn't God's will.

So in my struggle, it was really that hard, I prayed over it as well but I saw myself doing it again, I knew I was disappointing my heavenly Father. to note I have high libido & attracted to ladies a lot, but am not a flirt offline & I respect women & their bodies, the mere sight or thought of lusting at anyone I vehemently rebuked but my flirting is more mainly online (its strange).

Now I heard about a message on masturbation (forgotten where) & it pointed out that amongst many sins lust is a spirit that comes & goes & that a scheduled deliverance won't be effective.

Now there came a night, while attempting to do the usual with a stubbornness in me to just do it even when I knew it was wrong & resisting a bit, I started hearing a gospel song emanating from me in that process, a song am familiar with, you know that type of gospel songs you sing/listen that revives your spirit, very heavenly & holy, yea the song started right there was reducing that sexual hunger, the immorality of the act was leaving me, I discontinued without even telling myself not to, it was supernatural, as if sin just gave way to something superior to it, the song felt like it invited God right there on my bed, I just couldn't continue with what I wanted to do because I felt freed, mind you it wasn't guilt or the knowledge I have the Holy Spirit in me or that I was abusing God's grace but what made me stop was this invitation of holiness through that song & the lust fled & my sexual urge settled down.

This morning as it had been a while back of that experience, recalling this the Holy Spirit reminded me that heavenly songs are weapons of spiritual warfare against lust & not many use it against problems like that.

Yes there are practical human ways to avoid masturbation but many are weak in the flesh to be constant with such prescriptions.
time & time again the temptation comes I either get myself busy or sing of song of praise to God with revelation & gratitude especially when alone.


I hope this solution helps my fellow brethren experiencing such.
Table the problem before God to help you overcome the immorality.
Remember Christ said the immoral won't enter the kingdom of God, so lets not be lack luster about it because we have Grace, because it can also affect your sexual health & generations to come.
Enough is enough, Christians should stop misleading people. Masturbation is psychological issue and not spiritual.
This is not new in Prison/jail system.
Inmate in America call it jerking.
The worst you can do is to stripe them out as punishment where no physical contact or open/indecent exposure is involved with the opposite or same sex.
Go get a job please.

Ewu, we will all die. But when we die a sinner, you have died d worst death. Lets fight for eternal salvation cos we obviously cannot fight all u mentioned above and even If you do fight them, you'd still die. Fight for your soul, this world isn't supposed to be a utopia, no be heaven them call am, na earth.

OP, i concur, i have had d same experience on multiple occasions. Singing praises help overcome it. But one thing that makes me never think of it for days is keeping busy, moving around and doing something, once i sit down and relax, it will start creeping up.
and the fact that u just called the guy u quoted an "ewu" is not a sin abi? only masturbation is a sin.

The worlds problems ever since fall of man were there to be. its increase is in by those who have failed to know themselves, conditioned by their environment & deceptive intelligence. its decrease is by those who chose to be a solution & light out there, who know their capabilities & limitations, who invited God in for intervention, etc..

start with yourself & ask that question

It's too easy for us humans to misunderstand each other. I never intended the ewu as an insult, if i wanted to insult him i would have called him something way worse. I call my friends ewu, enwe, chimpanzee sef grin but never meaning it as an insult rather as a playful way of telling him that he's acting or talking offpoint. I'm sure you get what i mean.

For every action, there is a cause. Masturbation is a demonic means of expression.That you can't see wavelengths doesn't mean they are not real.Deal with the cause the effect ceases.For this cause is the Son of God made manifest, to destroy every works of Satan(1jn.3:cool.Bind the strongman then spoil his goods(Matt.12:29). For sin shall no longer have dominion over you because you are under Grace (Jesus).For no abuser of self will inherit the kingdom of God(Rom.1:24-32)

Well as they say "ignorance can be educated, crazy medicated, but there is no cure for stupidity"
Sin is sin there's no big sin or small sin
Don't tell me to look into adultery and fornication and then leave minor masturbation alone

I don't know where to start with you...
if indeed you are Christian please answer me this question.

during the process of masturbating doesn't the person committing the act fantasize/lust after a woman/man just satisfy that orgie ?

What did Christ say about those who commit adultery
did he restrict it to physical union.?

some lust without masturbating but its a must in the act of masturbating..
so is it a sin or not ?

when you don't acknowledge the influence of the spirit realm over the world..

you can mock it the way you want.
people like you remind me of the Jews that laughed & mocked Jeremiah when he preached & prophesied to them. because they never understand.

I see now why Christ was finding it difficult to enlighten a lot of people, even in earthly explanation they couldn't understand.


if singing brought down the walls of Jericho or chases away demons that tormented Saul. what else do you think it cannot not do ?..

I'm thankful to the Almighty for Naira Marley. Dude has subliminally made Naija folks feel less hypocritical about masturbation. I'd say it and say it again, Masturbation is a gift, if you aren't using it....you're worse than the biblical servant who buried his talents. Have you ever sat back and imagined the number of unwanted pregnancies, STIs, rapes, forced marriages, heartbreaks, financial losses that could be prevented only if folks masturbated more? There woulda been no prostittutes either. I know this, I am always awed by its realization. That's why I never fail to reach out my hands and grab my preek as a sign of appreciation to the most high. Our God makes all things perfect, but his people perish for lack of knowledge.

Bros I will advise you avoid masturbation cos if you do it then you will be commiting a sin..WHY? Because you see it as a sin .

New Living Translation
But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.
