Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Insists Masturbation Is Not A Sin
March 14, 2012 – Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Insists Masturbation Is Not A Sin
The man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was recently heard in a telecast saying masturbation is not a sin against God. (Watch the previous telecast here)
To further worsen the matter, he has released a new video defending his last comment stating Masturbation is indeed not a sin. Watch the video below
Masturbation is Not A Sin Video By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome

Without disrespect and contrary to popular opinions, we at Naijagists.com believe Masturbation is indeed a sinful act.
Men of God needs to be very careful so as not to pollute the mind of new believers.
Imagine a new convert hearing this from a man he looks up to as a spiritual father.
Pastor Chris is indirectly promoting masturbation which is kind of contrary to the teaching of the bible.
There is no way a man / woman will masturbate without thinking dirty (haba)
Guys please beware! masturbation is a sinful act. Do not allow the devil to corrupt your mind.
The bible says we are not ignorant of his devices lest he take advantage of us

There is no way a man of God would tell lies. People may think it is sin to mastubate because they held themselves captive to sin.

Please leave our Pastor alone. The problem with you guys is you are not actually listening to what Pastor is saying so you don’t really hear him.
The issue is from the heart, not masturbation itself, if your heart is pure, you won’t even need to worry about masturbation. Get the word of God into your heart, and all these useless things will not have a place.
Listen to HEAR.

Do u worship man or u worship God…dis is not abt “holding your pastor” its abt Gods word and d misinterpretatn. Soon enough, pastors will start to say “smoking is not a sin” etc cos its not in d bible or wateva. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Masturbation is the bringing out of male semen by the way of sexual imagination and fumbling on males organ. Its another form of uncleaniness. Pastor’s Chris’ doesn’t seem to understand James 1:15 so his illustration was 100% flawed. Try and feed his illustration to other scenarios and it will fail. E.g. If someone offends you badly and you hit him such that he dies mistakenly, then you have not killed! After all the problem is not with the killing but the hatred in your heart??? Men and your conscience will not let you off the hook, how much more God!
He forgets that there is an input and output. God frowns at every output of sinful thoughts its only Pastor christ that doesn’t frown at that. Read James 1: verse 15 “Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death” Every outcome of evil conception is equally regarded as SII in the sight of God. God bless all sons of God.

im soo disappointed in pas. chris. fellas, our bodies are the temple of God and therefore we dont own it. sexual immorality not only affects the body but also affects the spirit of God which lives in us.we must therefore keep it holy and clean from all unrighteousness including masturbation. the pas i think is confused, he should do more of bible studying to know more abt keeping the body clean.

False idols of who Jesus is come in all shades and styles, but there’s nothing that has created more false idols of who Jesus is than man’s own heart.
Unfortunately, most people have created a “Jesus” of their own liking, fashioned in the recesses of their carnal minds (or created by some religious leader that they’ve submitted their lives and entrusted their souls to) and that’s the “Jesus” they serve and worship. Ironically, these false idols of “Jesus” bear a striking resemblance to those who created them (and their desires), but very little–if any–resemblance to the Jesus of the Bible.
(Mat 7:21 NLTse) “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.
(Mat 7:22 NLTse) On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’
(Mat 7:23 NLTse) But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
If God wills, men will repent believe…

the bible talked presenting our bodies a Holy and acceptable sacrifice unto God, and masturbation practice cannot Aide a holy living this is because it is pervertious. the Bible says that all fornicators, adulterers,idolaterers shall av their part in the lake of fire, Masturbation cannot be referred to as simply an habit there is a demon of pervertiousness working in people who yield themselves to it and this is thesame spirit responsible for other immorality such as : lesbianism,homosexualism,phone sex etc. masturbation is ungodly and demonic.

There is no way the practice cannot be wrong and should be discouraged. Its the devil’s bait drawing you into immoral lifestyle.

Masturbation is wrong and shuld nt be encouraged..it makes u spiritually deaf,blind and dump.to GOD, because it becomes an addiction, and can even lead to breakage of marriages, etc.

This is just why Pastor Chris is a scholar!!!i believe most pple throwing all sorts of comments actually failed to pay attention to what he said about masturbation,it is S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ logical that it requires a mature mind to understand what he said.its as simple as this,can one smoke a cigarette without using a fire?pastor chris said that masturbation is not a sin,but it is what goes on in ur head while doing it and what prompts ΰ to begin the act that is a sin .S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ d question is,can ΰ masturbate without imagination?no!!both d act and d thoughts must go along which automatically makes it impossible for one to separate!

@Malateete
You can logically work out a man’s speech to suit your imagination and tickle your itching ear but the Word of God is 99.99999% self explanatory. Paul said,
(1Co 2:1 AMP) AS FOR myself, brethren, when I came to you, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony and evidence or mystery and secret of God [concerning what He has done through Christ for the salvation of men] in lofty words of eloquence or human philosophy and wisdom;
(1Co 2:2 AMP) For I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified.
We all should examine our selves because there is only one and true saving faith,
(Luk 11:35 NLTse) Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness.

The man got it very wrong. So if your heart is pure you now masturbate.
From which bible.
Such a comment speak volume of decay. Just imagine the millions of souls already led astray by a man who should know better.
We should better wake and effort of knowing and loving God. This is because many men of God are now working for Satan.
So you see the reason why they hardly find fault with anything. They now hide every sin with grace.
May the Lord help us in Jesus name. amen

If that is true, then it is unfortunate bcus dat could only be said by an antichrist. So if Pst Chris has turn an antichrist, we need to pray for Him 4 repentance. Masturbation is a kind of uncleanness condemned by the holy Bible ( Eph 5:3, Col 3:5). The act itself and the profane thought dat lead to it are equivalent to fornication. May God help us

No de try be like anybody, ‘be you’. If u like smthng, go ahead ‘do am’ gbam! Dat no go be sin. But if u no like smthng, no even try am – dat go be serious sin! My position remain sey ‘follow your mind’ – de tin wey ur heart agree with ‘carry go!’ IF MY YAN NO MAKE SENSE 2 U NOW, NO WORRY. E GO MAKE LETA!

Pastor Chris is increasingly becoming rebellious against God, Hw doesnt want to humbel himself and ask God for forgiveness for saying ”maustabation is not a sin” David, Solomon and even other great men of the past sinned, but This pastor is cliaming to be without fault. Pride goes before a fall.

masturbation is a sin, yes! but judge not the ministers of God, allow God to judge dem by himself! if you have a problem wit his preaching you can talk abt it or condem it to sooth urself but do not condem the ministers,prophect, or the anointed of the Lord, let the Lord deal wit them in his own way… you bring condemnation upon urself by judging or condeming the preacher!

C, 2 me o, masturbation aint sin! Cos God did nt call it sin and it never found in d bible! Act 10 God use food 2 illustrate and warn pple nt 2 condemn wt He has nt condemn! And in rev 18 v 22 it says don’t add or take from d xriptures! I think dats wat chris was doing… And by d way i watched d video He didn’t say it is sin and He didn’t say it is nt sin! So, we’ve 2 b careful nt to condemn wt God hasn’t condemn or we’ll b damned rev 18 v 22

May be you should read 1 Corinthians 7:5 . the bible says in order not to fall into sexual sin you should not despise your spouse.
I Corinthians 7:9. It says get married if you cannot abstain, marriage is the only way to sex.its clear from the word of God.
Thanks.

I have always known it is a sin.I was shocked when I heard what pastor Chris had to say.All I have to say is to listen over and over again to what Pastor Chris has to say and maybe it will make some sense.For now I am confused. Isupposs one should pray and let God convict you, or else take what you think is right and leave the rest instead of insulting him.The bible is there for all of us to read, and the Holy Spirit is there to teach us all truths.

Anybody who has masturbated before knows that it is pleasurable, but is it a sin? Some people who comment may feel that it is a sin in their heart but is in denial about it because it doesn’t necessarily say the word “masturbation” in the Bible. An individual may want to continue in the act because it makes them feel good. You are acting on flesh and do not want to admit that you feel it is a sin.
The Bible says that “Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus..”(Colossians 3:17) Do you think that this act is supposed to be done in the name of Jesus? When you are finished masturbating, do you say to yourself “God is pleased” No, because why would that please Him? Do you actually think that Jesus would approve of this act? Do you think that this act can be done without sinning? When you are masturbating, you are creating images in your minds about something usually a person. In the Bible it teaches us we should not fantasize here is one scripture that speaks of fantasizing, Matthew 5:28 – “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” I don’t understand the statement “it has nothing to do with God”, everything has something to do with God, if not everything. I also don’t understand the statement “it is your own body” The Bible clearly states that “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is in you, which ye have of God and ye are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19)
Romans 6:13 says “Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought to life, and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness”
I do agree with the fact that sin is anything that has become a habit. When it becomes a habit you are worshipping it and its taking up all your time and leaving you with no time for God.
Furthermore, Our loving God never demands from us what is impossible for us to do. We are so weak within ourselves that it may seem impossible, but He will equip us with His holy power to overcome any sin, if we ask in faith.
Gorging our flesh can never fill a hunger that grows out of our spirit. Only intimacy with God can fill the deepest needs inside of us. No other created thing has that power.
God is no more unreasonable than any caring parent who lovingly disciplines their child. It is only because He knows what is best for us. He sees a mighty potential in each one of us that far supersedes our wildest dreams, and He loves us enough to do all He can to bring it to pass.
In closing, here is another scripture to ponder on. Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” God bless you all, remember God loves us no matter what but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to do right in the sight of the Lord, despite what the world thinks. Our number one goal as Christians should be to always please God thought, word and deed.

Holy Spirit departed from “pastor” Oyakilome the period he entangle himself with TB Joshua around 2001 or thereabout. That was when he was initiated into the dark kingdom. I have listened to his preachings; most times he preaches heresy. His church members are taught that sin is only sin if they believe it is. He’s an ENDTIME pastor. Church and miracle shoppers should beware of Chris Oyakilome, TB Joshua, etc. They’re goats in sheep skin

God bless all my brother and sister in the name of our lord jesus, am not saying that masturbation is good, but for example, if you feel like having sex and you see an animal which one will you choose to having sex with the anima or masturbating. Masturbating is a means of cooling down your sex so that it wil not u to do the un thinkable. Wisdom calls for understanding, matt. 4:4 man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of GOD. May god bless his word in our hearth with the blood of jesus. amen

For your information many big men of God already trapped by the devil. This is what flambouyancy and lack of humility caused.
People don’t even know that the devil will deal with them ruthlessly if they die in sin. So who can fool God nobody.
Impostors and evil does will continue from bad to worse deceiving and being deceived.
May God help us not to fail in Jesus name. Amen.
