Masturbation Is Not A Sin – Pastor Chris Oyakhilome [Video]

Masturbation Is Not A Sin – Pastor Chris Oyakhilome [Video]

For people worried about offending God on the issue of masturbation, yours truly renowned man of God of the Christ embassy Pastor Chris Oyakilome reckons it is not a sin to masturbate.
In a television broadcast of Pastor Chris Live, a viewer from Ghana sent in a question asking how one can overcome masturbation.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome kept his cool and tackled the questions head on – even though his answer must have got a good number of viewers going OMG!

“The reason you want to stop this is because of what you think it is,” he says. “You think there’s something wrong with this. Get this straight, in itself it is not a sin against God but satan uses it to oppress our minds to make us feel ineffective and inefficient in the things of God. God has got nothing to do with it, he is not offended by it unless it takes a hold of your mind.”

Pastor Chris likens masturbation to playing football. It’s a habit, he says, and if you want to stop it, replace it with another habit.

Ok, so certainly, this must come as a relief to many!

    there is not even a single time a person masturbates without thinking or bringing the picture of an opposite sex with all that imagination as though that person was having sex with them, hence i disagree with this statement to say “masturbation is not a sin” coz it causes one to sin according to MATHEW 5:28.

  9. Purity   February 23, 2012 at 9:45 pm

    Which Scripture in the Bible forbids masturbation? I ve read the Bible from Genesis to revelations and I ve not seen any Scripture forbidding this act. If it’s sin then what manner of sin is it? You cant commit adultery or fornication alone except with an opposite sex

  10. atm   February 23, 2012 at 9:48 pm

    What’s the substitute for the same former sin called masturbation? Maybe sex with an animal. Ba pastor mwawa

  15. citizen   February 23, 2012 at 10:07 pm

    Think its time judgement day comes to pass mwe…too many pastors….

  16. you   February 23, 2012 at 10:24 pm

    what kind of ignorance is this? If Christ said who ever looks at a woman lustfully has comited adultery; Matt 5:28, “But I say unto you, that whosoever lookth on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” come on guys, when you masturbate for you to reach orgasm you have to fantasise of some woman in your mind. that is what makes it sin. You can’t do it without those thoughts. If Chris can say it is not sin, I will not be shocked to hear him say having a boy/girl friend is not sin. CAREFULL!

    Do Not get the man of God wrong, what makes Mastabation a sin are the pictures you create in your mind when mastabating. Jesus said that whoever committing adultery by thinking of a woman in a negative way.
    Pastor Chris has said it is not a sin in itself IF IT DOES NOT GET HOLD OF YOUR MIND. he is right in this case, most people create pictures when mustabating of women their admire but if you can do it without thinking of another woman/ man then maybe it may not be so

    Genesis 38
    Judah and Tamar
    1 At that time, Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah. 2 There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. He married her and made love to her; 3 she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er. 4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan. 5 She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah. It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.

    6 Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death.

    8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death also.

    Funny pastor!

  25. Wanu Ngwee   February 24, 2012 at 12:35 am

    commercialisation of the word of God is now leading to pastors preaching and imposing their opinion on issues rather than what the Bible ACTUALLY says about those issues. I thought pastor Chris would refer to a verse in order to help us understand God’s position on this matter.

  26. Wanu Ngwee   February 24, 2012 at 12:41 am

    Iwe Chris tekweba ati iwe ngawayumfwa bwino ninshi lesa nasuminisha iyoo!!

  28. songha   February 24, 2012 at 2:03 am

    its like saying that God hates sinners, oh no he dose not. He only hates the sin they commit. Masturbation is not a sin it only leads one into sin period. lets not misinterpret the man of God. kakwanja ni zee.

  29. nizo   February 24, 2012 at 2:38 am

  36. Chinaemerem Joshua Ibezim   February 24, 2012 at 5:56 am

    My take on masturbation: After studies on the subject, the said benefits, risks, countries like the UK encouraging it, etc, considering the fact that “masturbation usually involves fantasy, visualization, and often pornography”, I’m still of the opinion that it is sinful and I strongly believe it can be linked to demonic activity. “Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?” Proverbs 6:27,28. Masturbation is like taking fire in one’s bosom: he who engages in it will be burned. Self-control and mental purity should be encouraged. Thank you.

    There is no verse in the Bible that says that masturbation is a sin. Understand it right people, the act is not a sin, but what you think of while doing it is sinful.

  41. GOD   February 24, 2012 at 7:27 am

    Masturbation is healthy, a wank a day keeps the doctors away

  45. Evelyn   February 24, 2012 at 8:25 am

    THERE’S ALSO NO SCRIPTURE WHICH SAYS DOING DRUGS IS A SIN. BUT THE CHRIST IN YOU TELLS U THAT IT IS. MASTERBATION IS ALSO A SIN EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT MENTIONED.

  46. Zambian   February 24, 2012 at 8:36 am

    Get the words correct; Mathew 5:28 says if you LOOK at a woman with lust and NOT ‘IMAGINE’

  49. PROF.   February 24, 2012 at 8:46 am

    Surely there are a lot of interpretations of the bible, you people who have responded to this issue think twice to his comment before you judge and we considered yourselves to be sinners.
    ***.Book of Gen 38,Understand the meaning and what made God to be offended(This was an instruction)do not compare it to masturbation.

  50. ubuloshi   February 24, 2012 at 8:54 am
