Pastor Chris Explains Why Smoking Of Cigarettes, Indian Hemps, Is Not A Sin
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is the owner of Believers Love World Fellowship which metamorphosed into Christ Embassy International Ministries. This Church has a regular membership of over 3 million in Nigeria alone and fans of over ten million people who belong to other denominations but see Pastor Chris as their alternative pastor. Inadvertently Pastor Chris Oyakhilome controls over twelve million people in Nigeria especially the youth and middle aged. His telecast is still the most viewed among Nigerian Christians including Roman Catholics,
Anglicans, Methodists and Pentecostal brethren.
This Pastor recently stirred the hornets’ nest in the month of February 2012 when answering a question on how to overcome masturbation said thus ‘’masturbation in itself is not a sin against God. Satan uses it in oppressing the mind and make them feel ineffective and inefficient in the sight of God. But once you understand that it’s got nothing to do with God, its about you and your own body…’’ When people thought that his position was a slip of tongue, He defended it in another telecast weeks later and called it a habit which has nothing to do with God.
The same pastor weeks later added that alcoholism and smoking is not a sin, rather it is just a habit.
This theory of masturbation not being a sin is not biblical. Masturbation is a besetting sin. A besetting sin is a habit that sticks to someone as though it is normal. A sin that has become a habit is called a besetting sin. Some people call it entangling sin because it entangles a person, thereby making escape difficult. . In Hebrew Chapter 12 verse 1-2 the scripture says that ‘’ wherefore seeing we are also compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and sin which easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith’’ In Nigeria now, corruption has become a besetting sin, our religious leaders encourage it and release anointing for the corrupt Congregationalist to escape the arms of the law. However, this does not remove the fact that corruption is evil in the sight of God.
Smoking of Cigarettes, Indian Hemps, Cocaine, Marijuana or whatever are besetting sins. They are normalised anomalies. Masturbation is one of them. In Nigeria today, fornication has become so rampant that it has a besetting sin. People now discuss their sexual escapades with different people as a status symbol.
The Bible has a standard. In Matthew Chapter 5 verse 8 Jesus Christ said that ‘’ but I tell you that whosoever looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart’’ This implies that sin starts from the heart. Masturbation definitely involves constant lustful imaginations which the victim indulges in as a means of vitiating sexual pressures. Students of demonology have discovered that those sexual images which follow masturbation are actually pictures from the marine world juxtaposed on the persons’ sub-conscious and he begins to imagine some sexy looking man or woman. Some persons get initiated into the company of a spirit husband or wife after orgies of masturbation. In addition, a masturbator will definitely get tired of the self indulgence and would want to experiment with actual sex, leading to fornication or adultery.
Smoking of cigarettes has become a fanciful habit which a lot of persons want to break away from without success. The late minister of health Professor Olukoye Ransome Kuti said that he quit decades of smoking the day he was appointed as Minister of Health by Ibrahim Babangida in 1985. All his previous attempts to quit the bad habit failed until he made a resolution that as the chief health officer of Nigeria he cannot be a bad example, which was how he secured his freedom. If those referred to as unbelievers want to quit smoking, how can a Born Again Christian justify feeding on what pagans, atheists and animists are struggling to quit. The producers and hawkers of cigarettes warn that the substance is dangerous to health.
Alcoholism is an intoxicant which persons use to feel good and fight depression. A lot of sicknesses are directly related to it and the manufacturers will always warn that it is not for those below the age of eighteen. A lot of family breadwinners have expended all their live savings on alcohol while the wife and children are left unattended to.
Therefore for a pastor who directly influences over three million persons in Nigeria and indirectly influences another twelve million fans that belong to other churches to encourage these habits, the end has really come.
The implications of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s open cheque is that many young men and women running into millions will join the league of masturbators, fornicators, adulterers, smokers of cigarettes, Indian hemp, cocaine and consumers of different brands of alcohol; Whisky, Schnapps, ‘Sapele Water’, ‘Kaikai’, Akpuru-achai’ etc. In these trying seasons for Nigeria and Africa, this pastor has led his congregation and that of others astray. Apostle Paul said in Galatians Chapter 1 verse 8-9 says ‘’ but even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse ! As we have already said now I say again: if anyone is preaching a gospel other than the one you have accepted, let that one be under God’s curse’’
Influential pastors are now blessing masturbation, drunkenness and smoking. Soon others will bless watching pornographic materials, same-sex marriage and marriage to pythons, cobras, dogs, baboons and horses. Later they will begin to sanction occultism, human sacrifice, flying in the night and astral projections in the church. In the height of it they will remove Christ as the centre piece and replace him with the man of sin, the Antichrist, who will exalt himself as God in the temple of God

Now the stage is set. 1 pastor prophesles and heals much as Jesus said thos that believe would, and we call them satanists. The other justifies acts that Jehovah frowns upon & we still lamp them with satanists. I believe that at 1 time all of us have a chance to sift what we have here on earth as to whether they be of God or not. Ba Pastor Chris bena leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Ibange sure!! Na ponyo-ponyo I’ve legal much pulpit yabo sure!!! Eli lwanya…

Indeed God has started exposing some of the so called men of god. Honestly, how can someone who proclaims to be a pastor say masterbation, smoking and beer drinking are not acts of sin? All thesee vices lead to unspeakable acts like rape, defilement, divorce, mental disorder, suicide etc. I remember what Prophet TB Joshua said at the beginning of the year that those who do not worship in TRUTH and in SPIRIT will be exposed this year. It has, indeed, started happening!!

1 Corrinthians 6:19 . Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost says the Bible. Rev. 2:6, Rev.2:15 . This man is teaching the doctrines of the Nicolaitans which postulates that what happens in your flesh has nothing to do with spiritual standing. Thanks to the author of the article it is spiritally uplifting and enlhghtening.

God bane, is the God of Standards and NOT opinions. His Standards are high because He is a pure God. Honestly how can a christian professing the God of such high Standards settle for low standards like masturbation, beer drinking etc? You know, Christianity is governed by Standards of God Himself.

faer GOD and remember Man WILL ALWAYS DISAPPOINT YOU AND VEVER WILL THE LORD DO THAT THERE IS WAR MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS THE DEVIL IS ROARING LIKE A LION AND HE SEEKS WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
We are in the lasy days believe me Muastabation is unnatural and a seen.
Remember what paul the apostle said to warn us”"BUT IF WE OR AN ANJEL FROM HEAVEN PREACHES A GOSPEL OTHER THAN THAT WHICH CHRIST PREACEHD LET THEM BE ACCURSED.
HERE IS WHAT CHRIST SAID”"I TELL YOU IF ANY ONE LOOKS AT A WOMAN/MAN LUSTIFULLY THEY HAVE COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH THEM IN THEIR HEART.
HERE IS THE POINT YOU CAN MUSTURBATE WITHOUT IMAGINING SEX.
WHO IS RIGHT THEN CHRIST OR CHRIS??I LEAVE YOU TO JUDGE.WATCH AND PRAY.

Both smocking whatever or masturbation defiles the body of the person doing these things. even the mind is defiled. those who do masturbation do imagine sleeping with someone they know or they see in a picture.this what Jesus the owner of the christian faith said if a person looks at a woman lustfully they have already committed adultery in their heart. For one to say it is not seen is not true. Pastor Chris be careful in your quest to surprise people with revelations you are now being used by the devil. you mast repent of the sin of misleading God’s people.

If masturbation which is sexual immorality, smoking and alcoholism are not sin against God but body, next time he and his group want to indulge themselves, they should first make a prayer of thanksgiving to God in the name of Jesus and ask Him to use those acts to bless their lives and glorify His name. After that he should come back and tell the world what he experienced. I hope he get a glorious testimony.
