Why you should Masturbate.
Posted by Tomi O on Thursday, January 03, 2013 with 25 comments
Hi Everyone. Happy New Year.
*Awkward Silence*
Yes, you read right, okay. Honestly there is a huge invisible NOT between should and Masturbate, you can all contribute your sighs of relief here \______/
I just needed to arouse your curiosity, How did I fair?
Don't go Just yet na. Hang around alil more.
On a more serious note, we always look for justification for our addictions so, atleast that would give us some form of 5-mins fix that we are not so bad afterall "misery needs company" right? And after that? We are back to square one
Don't stop reading, I'm heading somewhere :)
We are all addicts of some sort, whatever/whoever it is we are addicted to good stuff or bad stuff, in this case we younger ones find ourselves in this mostly, It simply starts with and experiment next thing you know you are neck deep, the sad part is, its a closet addiction and very few people would have the courage to confess to a friend about it.
After every "closet-session" there is always the feeling of emptiness, Guilt, helplessness, hopelessness and for the extreme cases Nothing.
Good News? Your case is NOT helpless you asked why? Glad you did.
" But God has shown us how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!" Romans 5:8
"....... His Love endures forever" Psalms 136
".........the lord is full of compassion and mercy" James 5:10
I have Just 2 reasons why I think you should Not masturbate again, and I'm sorry but I would go hard.
"There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed or hidden that will not be made known" Luke 2:2
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do nothing.
But I will show you whom you should fear: fear him who, after killing of the body, has the power to throw you into hell, Yes, I tell you, fear him" Luke 2:4
So How should be done to battle the addiction?
"They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth
For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified" John 17:16-17 & 19
Read the Bible.
"What the Law could not do, because human nature was weak, God did. He condemned sin in human nature by sending his own Son, who came with a nature like our sinful nature, to do away with sin
God did this so that the righteous demands of the Law might be fully satisfied in us who live according to the Spirit, and not according to human nature
You however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the spirit, if the spirit of God lives in you, and if anyone does not have the spirit of christ, he doesn't belong to christ." Romans 8: 3-4 &9
Let the Spirit help.
You don't think you can?
"In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37
You can beat this addiction through Christ, I believe in you.

Thanks for reading. Happy New year didi
DeleteI just love how you backed up your post with Bible verses! I wrote a post last year about my addiction to my phone. Haha...yeah! I've found a way to cope and not be so dependent on it. But, any addiction...whatever it is, takes time and prayer to let go, or ease it.
ReplyDeleteYes oh.. I agree!
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Superb!!! God bless U Oluwatomilola :*
ReplyDeleteAmen. God bless you too.
DeleteIt's sad that i still struggle with Laziness / procastination and always busy doing nothing...arrrgggg......
ReplyDeletePreac it Tomi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the insight
Thanks for always reading... God help us with this laziness:(
DeleteI agree with you.. Its nt just a battle of trial and error, its a spiritual battle against any addiction because they always want to take the place of God in our lives. Thanks for this, Tomi.
ReplyDelete- LDP
I totally agree. Thanks for stopping by
DeleteYou are an incredible writer. I love your perspective. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAwww... Thanks for your kind words.
DeleteHmm, that's if the person believes masturbation is bad in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI believe that everyone in the act knows its bad, why else would do they think its not something to boast about? The difference is people that care and don't. Which in that case they have learnt to silence their conscience. Still everyone is redeemable :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Hi Tomi, i have read some of you blogs and i like your style...good job! This piece right here is yet another interesting one. But if this post is intended for the secular world also, perhaps you could add a few more things to it like, the health dangers attached to it. I mean not everyone believes in God (well, i do)... So to an unbeliever, you need to point out what exactly is bad about it. Once again, good job!
DeleteThanks alot, totally appreciate it. I get what you mean and my posts are for everyone even at that i would always stand for the truth and this is the only way i know. i try my best to say what i mean so it can be relate able by everyone, Yet i would keep this in mind and ask for directions from God. Thanks alot for this.
DeleteTomiiiiiiiiiii!!! New Blogger comment thingyyyyy whooppp!
ReplyDeleteYes ooo.. Told ya! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI was addicted to masturbation for such a long time. It so severed my my confidence and self worth. One of the issues most might have is to balance if its a sin or not. I thank the Spirit of God that finally help me know it was wrong and helped me find freedom. I thank God every day now for the victory so far. Thank you for the write up. God bless
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your testimony. Thank you. Thank God.
DeleteThanks for stopping by. God bless you big!
You shouldn't
ReplyDeleteI fought to conquer masturbation
Now even when I feel like, I just say
"My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit"
It has been a long time since I fell for that temptation
and I am thankful for His grace
Just read this...this is really nice...
ReplyDeletei have tried everything you wrote.. reading the bible, fasting, prayer, and even talking with a friend, but none of these worked. it s always shocking to hear people say that they stopped it.. cus the question i always have in my mind is HOW?
Hello there, Thank you for taking time out to read this here.
DeleteI have a friend that is still having a hard time figuring it out. Truth is to overcome this or any addiction, we have to die to ourselves daily and quit looking at all that we have 'tried' to achieve (to no avail) in our efforts and fix our gaze of Jesus. Everyday. We can't give room to the devil.
The word says "The word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee" Keep the word in your heart. keeping in your heart and reading are 2 different things entirely.
And finally, don't be bound by the shackles of guilt. Know and believe that God can deliver you and will, and you will see yourself on top.
Keep living the Victorious life. God bless you.
Please, Listen to this sermon by Joseph Prince
