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!

Gen: 38
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s awife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew (kill by violence’to destroy; extinguish) him also.
Just so that we are all clear masturbation is a sin!
Its like having sex with yourself and not the way God intended; which is through a proper blessed marriage!
So what if a Pastor said its not, according to God its a sin!
is this biblical??can some one explain to me where the man of GOD is basing his answer?is it based on the morality or scripture???????
masturbation usually involves fantasy, visualization, and often pornography. The Bible is very clear as to what God expects of us in these areas of fantasy and lust. It teaches that we must not look lustfully at each other nor should we behave in such a manner as to entice others to lust after us.
“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust upon a girl. I know full well that the Almighty God sends calamity on those who do” (Job 31:1-3, The Living Bible).
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28).
Aku wankeni banyinenu ifinyo. Fool yourselves, pretend eating an Apple while you are eating intombolya.
Since masturbation begins with sin in the mind, it might be called an “affair of the mind” because it brings about sexual sin inflicted against one’s own body. Although it brings a short lived gratification, it makes one feel defiled when continued on a regular basis. In fact, it is a form of fornication because fornication is more that just sex with someone before marriage, it includes many other sexual sins such as pornography and the use of sexual toys for gratification. People who are not satisfied with God’s plan for sex commit idolatry by using evil things to experience weird and unlawful forms of sexual intercourse. Some verses in Ezekiel actually describe this kind of fornication.
Ezekiel 16:15-17:
15But you trusted in and relied on your own beauty and were unfaithful to God and played the harlot [in idolatry] because of your renown, and you poured out your fornications upon anyone who passed by [as you worshiped the idols of every nation which prevailed over you] and your beauty was his.
16And you took some of your garments and made for yourself gaily decorated high places or shrines and played the harlot on them–things which should not come and that which should not take place.
17You did also take your fair jewels and beautiful vessels of My gold and My silver which I had given you and made for yourself images of men, and you played the harlot with them.
THIS IS EVIL,ITS NOT RIGHT
pastor Chris is not a christian,to hell he shall burn
How do we allow pastors to be misleading us in this way sure? this is very unfortunate especially when they are globle “men of god”?
THAT IS SATANIC 100%
Pastor whether you like it or NOT it is SIN according to God`s standard pliz Just preach the true gospel and not something else for your own belly! I know you want more tithe and offering. preach the truth whether people like it or Not.
It is like going to the tarven. In itself is not sin but what you find there (mahule etc) and what you will definitely do will be sin.
What he is he talking about?Does he really read the bible?He is saying committing fornication is habbit and one only needs to replace it with another habbit in order to get rid of it? For one start murstabating,there has to be a trigger or motivation from somewhere.This maybe fantasising about having sex with a women you saw or an imaginery woman,reading a romantic story or book,watching a pornogaraphic movie or magazine and the list is endless.The moment this thoughts infiltrates your mind and you fail to control them,then you are in it the same way with the person who ends up commiting fornication or rape because you all have the same thoughts in mind ie having SEX.Conclusion,masturbation is a sin.
masturbation is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY: GENOCIDE
IT IS REALLY SAD THAT GREAT MAN OF GOD OF HIS CALIBRE TO SAY MASTURBATION IS NOT A SIN.HOW CAN SELF SATISFICATION BE NOT A SIN . WHEN GOD SAID :THE LORD GOD SAID IT IS NOT GOOD THAT THE MAN TO BE ALONE; I WILL MAKE HIM A HELP MEET FOR HIM. GENESSIS 2.18 1 Corinthians 11:9
God would not have given man a woman if HE knew man could satisfy himself. Please Men of God not dilute God’s words to suit your situation. You will be accountable to God for what ever you are doing
Stop masterbating I am tol Handymans unique great east rd opens on the 1st march. I hear it’s out of this world. I am going to be the fieta one there as I believe first customer getting something major
Gen 38. I think the man disobeyed God by spilling the sperms on the ground against Gods instructions. if the issue is of releasing the sperm in the woman, then what do you say of people that use condoms; are they sinners because Gods initial plan of sex had no condoms in it.
people who masturbate just go an extra mile. the sin is no greater than the man that looks at the woman lustfully and in the end doesnt masturbate.
to defend the man of God, it is not stated whether this person has fantasies of some woman or not and you know that the bible forbids us to judge others. i think pastor chris was just being sensitive to this case since the bible doesnt say that it is sin and we do not know the circumstances that lead to Him masturbating.
@thy kingdom come. i think you become a murderer when you think of it or plan it, because thats wats gona cause you to pick the gun and shoot.
masturbating in itself is not sin but can you afford to do it without lusting for some woman? what of a married man whose wife is out (or a widow) and masturbates whilst thinking of her is it sin?
HAHAHAHA this is pastor Chris for you.RUBBISH some men of God why are they misleading people
PASTOR CHRIS YOU ARE MISLEADING PEOPPLE NOW,AND YOUR ADVISERS AT CHURCH AGREE WITH THAT?
It is sin,but what circmstancese leds to this? The way our bodies are.In the first place what makes a man think of proposing a woman,you can not propose a woman without imagining sex with her.no man think of a good food a woman will prepare whn he wants to marry,the first thing is sex.so do we say every married man sined b4 marriage and after marrying the sin is forgiven? its better to masturbate then to defile and kill after.Think of the mapepe,the recent chibombo defilment case.if that guy thought of masturbation that girl would be living 2day.
Hey Pipo,
So much talk out there about masturbation and homosexuality but no one talks about man/woman prostitution going on in our country.Does it mean it is legal in your minds?,certainly not legal with God.So plz talk against it than just against homosexuality and masturbation.To me they are all not right.
Pliz I need to see you write something on prostitution in bars,lodges,hotels,bushes of our beloved Zambia.Do you support it?Pliz ansa me.Iam waiting.
pamz. i think thats a personal opinoin.
Well,pastor Chris is man,and sometimes his tongue may slip but this doesnt mean we start judging him to hell.AND l think if given chance he may clarify the context on which he tried to explain this.We need to understand HOMILETICS(bible interpretation).Even adultary is a sin against yo own body.l m uncomfortable with pipo who start saying pastor chris is not a man of God.pipo be careful not to fight God.
Ths z rerious! Masturbation is a sin! The bible sayz in matt 5:29 if yo ryt eye causes u 2sin, pluck it out n cast it frm u; 4it z mo proftabo 4u that 1 of yo memba perish, than 4 yo whole body 2b cast in2 hell.. So if masturbation z cauzin u 2sin STOP IT! Thoz of u sayin its nt sin, u jst fulfilin wats writen in 2timothy 4:3-4 togetha na chris. Vs 3. 4the tim wil cum wen they wil nt endure sound doctrine, bt acording 2their own dsire, bcoz they hv itching ears,they wil heap up themselves teacherz (chris) n turn their ears away 4rm the truth..
ba chris are sure with what you said or it was a slip of the tongue? which Bible said it is not a sin? when one wants to masturbate what does he want to achieve? and what is the purpose of masturbating? if only these questions can be answered using the HOLY Bible then the answer will be found to this question that was asked by that bro. this is just an eye opener to those who think that every one called man of God is actually a child of God. open your eyes because the Bible is very straightforward, it says you shall know them by their fruits. Can an apple bear an orange?
@Nicky its not homiletics but hemapneutics.
i can’t even call you pastor,then people who doubting your teaching
musturbation is a sin,when God creat a man;he said is not good that the man should be alon;i will make him a help meet for him.
you are not a good pastor
I totally disagree with pastor Chris, it is a sin period.
So much is happening out there,I tell u soon homo sexuality will be fine for any one to practice and men of ‘god’ will be encouraging every body to be free with it!
THIS GUY HAS CORRUPT MORALS, ATI BA PASTOR….. VAUPUBA VEKA VEKA
What of wet dreams?
ths ar end days,we must be careful of whats hpnin n ths world!
For no wonder satan keeps turning himself into an angel of light..masturbation is a sin and yes an act of selfishness, a habitual problem that even weakens one towards fornication..Onan received his due for pouring his seed to the ground, lets not be cheated.
GALATIANS 6: 16-21
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh : and these are contrary the one to the other ; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like : of the
which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, thatthey which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
AMONGST THE WORKS OF THE FLESH IS EMULATION – IFYAKUKONKELESHA
to the way i undastnd da bible masturbation z a sin,bt dnt judge pastor chris becoz z also human.da bst tin z 2 liv accordn 2 bible standardz @ ask God 4 divin revelation over ths matters.becoz man can say tings accordn to his/her opinion bt GODS answers ar 4rm above
to all the people citing the example of onan in genesis. there is NO masturbation involved in the passage. its a passage disussing selfishly performing coitus when the man was obligated by law to produce offspring for his dead brother. I agree with the pastor. There is nowhere where masturbation is forbidden.
its not a sin.
just enjoy yourselves and masturbate,why do you people want to complicate your lives by worrying all the time “god this, god that” muzafunta
Masturbation-simply defined- is to give yourself or somebody else sexual pleasure by stroking the genitals or, usually to orgasm. That definition clearly tells as that masturbation is a form and type of sex.And the bible is clear on both pre-marital (fornication) and extra marital affairs.
Ask anyone who has masturbated in their lives before, they will tell you that they always have graphic pictures or even pornography itself to stimulate and enhance their act of masturbation.
Masturbation comes about as a result of sexual desire that we all have as sexual beings God created us to be no doubt about that .If masturbation is ok, according to either medical personnel or any preacher however popular or famous they may be, then we might as well say that homosexuality or even lesbianism is ok too.
If masturbating with graphics in our minds of people we are not even married to is ok, then we are also in a way saying it’s ok to sleep with any man or woman who is not your partner, that’s absurd, sinful and pervasive.
Matthew 5:27-28-You have heard that it was said,’ Do not commit adultery.’ Verse 28 But now i tell you: anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed sin with her in his heart.
This is talking about our minds and our thought parterns.Just by looking and thinking beyond the limits, undressing her in your thoughts and even wishing you were doing something with her, is sin the bible says. In masturbating you have images, pornography itself, that is more than just your thoughts and no one can justify and say that masturbation is not sin.
Pornography is said to be a victimless crime yet its effects on women, children and marriage as a whole are adverse.
We can and should not allow anyone irrigardless of who they are,to create false revelations and doctrine that contradicts scripture and God’s morale principles. It’s more important to check out and scrutinise/examine the lives of those who preach to us and speak into our lives.Remember, whoever speaks into your life, determines how far you go and what you become in life.
So let us be careful.Whatever anyone says as long as it’s not scriptural and contradicts the bible, trash it and walk away from them.
Know the lives of those who speak to you, who are they? Are they married, if so what is their marriage life like? How do they run the affairs of their families?
When you check most of their lives, they are not usually with their families and their wives thus allowing these funny doctrines and so called revelations. Some of them even tell their female church members that if they have sex with the ‘’man of God to’’,’’service,’’ him, they will receive a blessing.
They go on to say sexual sin is not so serious because a person only sins against his own body that there is even no need to repent of it. This is heart breaking because these people are seen to be authority figures with large followings and what they say is taken as gospel truth by the masses.
That is why we can’t keep quiet on these matters of morality. Sin is sin and sin will be sin no matter how much we try to justify it. Some of these leaders will even give you some of these females in their churches that they have trained themselves and misled to to have sex, ‘’service ,’’you,’’ as a visiting preacher away from home even if you are married.
Thats how most cults started. Let us be careful these are the last days and thank God He has a remnant for the end time ministry that will truly usher in the coming of Christ WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
pliz….i need undersdanding from above, how can i tell the true sent of GOD…coz. nearly everyone Gim n’ Jack pastor is sumersulting..GOD..save us from these so kod pastors (knowing yo limitations is the hallmark of a wise person)hey wat is happening..
wat iz sin?2start wth
In this our generation is there any one who can do ka friendly match ka kukwanja ? na mahule ba K20 000 mu Chandwe musonda road balimo .then you just choose to go for a friendly ,unless your head is not functioning very well.
This is nonsense – how can this “Man of God” say it is not a sin when in actual fact it is!!!!! Ichalo katwishi eko chileya mweeeee
The wrath of man cannot bring about the righteousness of God.
God created man with the feeling of sexuality, not to be ashamed of but to be celebrated. Satan makes people feel guilty about something that God does not worry about. That is why Satan glorified ‘celibacy’ as though those who are OUTWARDLY celibate are better than those who marry. Masturbation comes in all sorts of forms. 1. In a dream. How can one be sinning in a dream? 2. With pornography. This masturbation is wrong because it is a mind that is set to lust after another. 3. Physical process without images. Nothing wrong with that.
Therefore, a Christian should RENEW his mind and not to be conformed to the world. The mind renewal has nothing to do with this is sin or not, it has to do with ‘setting your mind on things above.’
this man is a CULT for sure. Everybody with passion for the truth will not follow this one!
the bible is clear its not everyone who says lord lord is a true son/man of God moreover the bible says in the last days many false prophets will arise why should we doubt that he is not one of them after such misleading statement, its not good to make people living in sin to feel good for their wrong doing simply because one needs to be popular, of cause them that are in it will be the followers of Chris but remember what the bible says in
Jude 1:7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. but it also says in
luke 10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than
for that city. open your eyes people.
