Solution For The Habit of Masturbation

Masturbation as you have known, is the habit of deriving sexual pleasure from any object other than the opposite sex. That is how I can define this pervasive habit.

Masturbation is a habit which both men and women get involved in or form for one reason or another. It is a very wrong way to derive sexual pleasure. It is classified as one of the unclean acts or habits that God hates. Masturbation is a habit which, once formed is very hard to break or quit regardless of whether you are married or single.

I have heard a man testify during a church service how he was delivered from this terrible habit. He revealed one thing that shocked me. He said that he was so captivated by the habit of masturbation that whenever the urge came upon him and gripped him, he would dig a hole on the ground and insert his manhood into the hole just to satisfy the urge.

I have also heard and read about some women who claimed that they do not get satisfied or any sexual pleasure with their husbands or sex partners, so they indulge in masturbation to satisfy themselves.

The Dictionary defines masturbation as ‘selfabuse! The long and short of the matter is that the habit of masturbation will turn you to a non achiever in life; it will be hard for you to rise.

There will be unnexplainable stagnancy, failure at the edge of breakthrough. You will be confused and confined to the foot of the ladder of progress and success.

Masturbation is a habit you must brace up and fight with the last drop of your blood, if you must reach your potentials and attain your God ordained destiny authority and power.

WAY OUT OF THE MESS: With sincere decision and resolute determination, you can be free. The steps to follow are:

1. Realize and accept that this habit is bad and not good for you.

2. Let God know that you have this problem and really and truly want to stop it. Let Him know that you want Him to help you.

3. “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest…”. The person speaking here is Jesus Christ Himself. There is no problem that He cannot solve with ease. (Matthew 11:28).

There is a saying that”Heaven helps those who help themselves”. This means that you have an important role to play in this matter if indeed you want the yoke and bondage of masturbation to be broken in your life.

So, from now on, you must do the following:

1. Be sensitive and alert to know when that urge is about to creep in and lay hold on you. If you are alone in the room at that point in time, get out of the place and go to where other people are and join them there.

2. If there is no one in your immediate environment or surrounding, take a walk within the neighborhood. Take fresh air and see what is going on around. You will discover that by the time you are back, the urge would have disappeared and died. Do this as often as the urge rears its ugly head until you no longer feel the urge.

3. Engage in activities that require you to move from place to place, e.g. go wash your clothes, cook some food, go shopping, go visiting friends in the neighborhood or wherever.  Simply engage in some positive tasks.

4. Table your problem before Jesus the deliverer. Explain to Him that you want to keep His temple (your body) clean so that both of you can become close friends.

5. Remove materials that can influence you to relapse into the habit again, e.g. pornographic materials, pictures of such type, blue films, and literatures. Avoid anything that will return you back to your vomit like the proverbial dog.

6. Spend more and quality time in prayer and study of the word of God regularly.

7. Go out and preach the word of God and lead others to Jesus Christ your Saviour.

If you follow these steps, you will discover that before long, the habit of masturbation will be a thing of the past in your life. Go and give it a try.
