OVERCOMING MASTURBATION
By Pastor Kosi Ebirim
Masturbation is no new word to anyone.
Wikipedia defines it as sexual stimulation of one's own genitals for sexual arousal or other sexual pleasure, usually to the point of orgasm.
The stimulation may involve hands, fingers, everyday objects, sex toys etc....
Many may not agree practicing it; but believe me, almost every growing teenager/youth (adult inclusive) still practice it.
Masturbation is not attributed to just the male folks as the female also do it.
A friend and i were discussing few weeks back and he narrated how he caught his 12 year old cousin masturbating even to the point that she didn't realize when someone entered her room and caught her in the act.
I am not here to condemn you or judge you, but the earlier you stop masturbating the better.
Masturbation or masturbating, do have so many side effects especially in males.
Masturbation is the No 1 cause of quick ejaculation and weak erection:
Research shows that frequent masturbation causes quick ejaculation in men.
Most married men today cannot satisfy their partner, some will tell you how they frequently masturbated in their youth while others will tell you they still masturbate even till date.
So it is ideal to stop masturbating today to save your relationship.
Masturbation makes you think about the opposite sex: People who masturbate will testify that you cannot masturbate without thinking about the opposite sex.
Your mind,your attention is only placed maybe to a pornography,male or female you admire and want to be with, a picture or an object.
Masturbating makes you devalue the opposite sex: Most boys/men,girl/lady who masturbate today, do not see the value of getting married someday.
Some have concluded to remaining single since they now find pleasure in masturbating not knowing that the real pleasure is in finding God and getting legally married to a spouse..
Masturbation makes you weak and lazy: I recently interviewed someone over the weekend (name withheld) and he plainly told me that after the act, he usually gets too tired and lazy to do anything. We spoke further and he said he has masturbated for roughly 11 years.
Eleven years is indeed a big one and you can attest that an Entry level banker after 11 years in the banking industry must have risen to the management position level of the same bank which then means that masturbating has eaten deep into them.
You can still stop now.
HOW TO STOP MASTURBATING
1. Get Busy: About 90% of the pople who masturbate do it alone. Either in the toilet, inside the room or even their car. Proverbs 16:27 says an idle mind/hands is the devils workshop, so get busy.
Read a book, read a novel,step out for some walk,make a call; just get busy.
2. Avoid watching most movie: Most movies are no 1 motivating factor to masturbating.
Some movie producers do stipulate an age range in most movie eg PG,PG 18,PG 10 etc... So it is important you take that into consideration. Also it is important you read about a movie before purchasing it or downloading it over the internet so you know before hand what you are buying.
3.Ask God for direction: God is the giver of peace. It says in John 14:27 King James Version (KJV)
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
So beloved, be bold and say today, I stop masturbating,
I give my all to God, then watch God work mighty things through you
