Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Re-affirms Masturbation is NOT a SIN.

by OMG Reporter · March 22, 2012

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of the Believers Love World popularly known as Christ Embassy has again become the subject of a controversial debate on whether masturbation is a sin or not. While answering a question sent in by one of the viewers on a TV programme not too long ago, the Pastor disclosed that masturbation is not a sin. With the brewing controversy yet to die down, in another teaching, he re-affirmed his earlier statement and gave reasons for his stand speaking from a biblical perspective, ”masturbation is not a sin and it has absolutely nothing to do with God so persons involved should stop seeing the act as a sin and enjoy themselves if they really want to”.

This is the second time Pastor Chris is making this public statement and he has taken a swipe at pastors and persons who criticized him when he first stated publicly that God was not against persons who hid to use their hands to stimulate their genitals for sexual pleasure.

Among those that criticized him were the Prelate, Methodist Church Nigeria, Dr. Ola Makinde, who said there was only one way of having sex permitted by God in the Bible, which is only through marriage. “There is only one way of having sex in the Bible which is natural. Masturbation is unnatural and unethical. Whatever is unnatural and unethical is abomination. I leave him to his own opinion,” he said.

According to Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly, every believer must be able to subject his body to control because it could lead to something else.

Popular Evangelist, Pastor Akin Fasawe said Masturbation is a sin as stipulated in the Bible, saying that death was even recommended in the Bible for those who practiced such things. “Masturbation is a sin because when you masturbate, you will release. If the minister of God said masturbation is not a sin, he can easily tell his church that fornication is not a sin. The Bible recommends death in the Old Testament,” he stated.

Though Pastor Chris came under massive criticism for his position on masturbation, the man of God had once again uploaded a video on YouTube in which he reaffirms that masturbation should not be confused with lustful thinking and the fact that lustful thinking is a sin of the heart does not mean that masturbation is also a sin.

Pastor Chris cited an example that one cannot say the eating of bread is a sin simply because someone stole and ate bread. He explained that just as the stealing of bread is not the same as eating of bread so also is lustful imaginations not the same as masturbation so the two should not be confused.

“You can still imagine lustful things in your mind while you eat food or even read the bible so let us get the difference and proper definition of what is sin,” he added.

  8. Igwe says:

    Tosyn i want to believe u re pastor Chris’ publicist, if he said Masturbation isnt a Sin then Fornication as well should be reviewed.

  9. searchlite says:

    Then watching porn wouldn’t be a sin since we’re just observers and not involved in the act! O Lord; in wrath, remember mercy!

    The Holy Bible says dat during the end time ‘prophets’ will arise giving heed to seducing spirits n doctrines of devils(I Tim.4v1-2) Without any controversy, we r in d end tym Jesus cleary warned us 2 beware………..my brethren, so beware!!!!flee 4 ur salvation!!

  12. sammy says:

    Well, am so confused especially because of how highly I regard pastor chris….come to think of it, if masturbation is not a sin, how then can we explain the guilty feeling that accompanies the completion of the act?

    • AK says:

      Dear Sammy the feeling of guilt is not from God. There are a lot of people in this world they kill and steal and fornicate, without having any feeling of guilt in their hearts, so what we shall say then, they’re right? It is how you hav been taught, your mindset can be controlled by satan to bring guilt into your feelings. And also when you re in Christ you are righteous not because you did good thing or bad thing but because of Son of man you have been proclaimed by God Himself righteous which means NOT GUILTY! How then the same God will proclaim you as guilty…

  13. EMMANUEL says:

    As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is. The Lord Jesus said that whoever lusts after a woman in his heart has already committed the sin of fornication. I leave you to reach a conclusion.

  14. Martin says:

    I thought it was a sin. But this one there is controversy among pastors that are working for God. What does it connotes? Who is right here? Can it be that there is a wrong message been delivered from their source cos I believe truly that whosoever that is serving and working for God recieves knowledge, wisdom and direction from The Most High God. May God help us oh!

  15. Olaoluwa says:

    Let no one judge bt let leave d judgement 4 d lord d greatest judges.lets rember wot our great apostle paul told us abt dis

  16. Blessed samuel n says:

    My advice to any body that might read this article “let no man get confused, for truth is still truth no matter whomsoever voileting it” some people like pastor chris may be pretending to be working for God while he is strongly opposing God. Oh! It is unfortunate many will not understand looking at him the first instance does he even look like what he is pretending to be. Masturbation is sin and cannot be changed by any angel let alone mere man. Lo, know that the foundation of God stands and cannot be altered and to you reader, have you accepted christ in your life? know ye not that these things happening are the signs of end time. Please be not deceived my dear belove readers. .

  17. Great martin says:

    I have been indulging in this act ever since befor i got married and even till now and anytime i did it i allwells fills guity witing me which shows me that it is a sin, and i dont know what dat pushes me to do it,i think our consciens is GODS presents in our hart it tells when we do good and bad,my consciense allwayse codem me when i masturbate so i think is a sin against our body and our body is the temple of the holy spirits,and if we defile it the evil spirits will come in,so pls oh GOD help me to stop dis sin for witout you i can do nothing,:: so i think ppl should forget pastor christ and do the will of GOD.

  18. concerned says:

    Falsehood and its peddler cannot hide forever. The Bible says : “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

  19. Kingsley Enabulele says:

    I feel ashamed that a person who calls himself a man of God would happily and comfortably ask people to continue to sin against God just because he wants to please his followers who are mostly young people. It is a pity. This is making fool of Christianity, but God will always fight and win every war waged by satan and his agents on earth against the truth.

  20. dave says:

    This is the end time, so it is expected that servants of the devil come up and preach heresis.Those who know the truth will be saved. Chris oyakilome(not a pastor) is not greater than God. God instructs us not to involve in sexual immoralities. Even an herbalist knows that masturbation is sexually immoral. So, who is chris to turn Gods word. Chris a mere mortal. May God help us.

  21. go3 says:

    i ve been a lesbian since i ws 6ys and nw i.m 19 bt i wsnt tot and each time i do it wit d feeln of satisfactn i alwys ve a strng feeling of guilt.

    Oh my God,honestly am just confused now…i can’t believe this is coming from pastor Chris.

  24. y.nik says:

    masturbation to me is a big sin,cus anytime i do it i always feel guilty,and things dont go well for the next few days…either at my work or i am expecting some things….and it is even demonic cus if u try to stop u wil always fall sick….

  25. Michael says:

    I have heard controversial messages from men of God & Initialy I usually refused them. But overtime through the help of the precious holy spirit got convicted from the Bible that what these men of God had said was true. This is one of such, nd I hope to have the conviction later frm the word because for now I just can’t comprehend the claim that masturbation is no sin for the following reasons 1) the illustration the MOG used between stealing bread nd eating bread is not good enough to describe the case of masturbation because in the case of masturbation, u can’t separate the lustfull thoughts from the act of masturbation itself. 2) According to Rom 14:23…everything that does not come from faith is sin. So therefore, till I receive that level of faith which ofcourse comes only from the word of God I cannot masturbate and say it is no sin, nd I urge u all to examine ur selfs deeply before acting on this message and start masturbating, remember if it is not faith then it is sin. Finally I want to make it clear that I still see pastor Chris as a man of God. After all he didn’t say God told me masturbation is not a sin he only have his opinion nd that is allowed. He can infact make wrong asumptions but that does not stop him from being a man of God. Deut18:21 this portion of the bible admonished us not be afraid of a prophet even if he spoke presumptously. Thank u and act only on faith

    • Alex aduro says:

      for all the comment have red u are the only one that make a point here for my own understanding when a man of God say some people wll be bring some place in bible to say the bible say this thing is sin.but it holy bible that GOD use men to write through the help of the holy spirit say many thing that you cannot understand and you will read something in bible that say this is sin and another place will talk another thing so people only fine thing in bible that will favour them the way they want to leave there life like someone may read about solomon in blble who marry many wife they will say solomon did it and make heaven but they will forget that jesus christ have came to stop that but some people will still be marry many wife thinking that someone in the bible did so.that why you need to take time to read the whole bible and pray that the holy spirit should give you understandingwhen you read.a friend of my once told me that pastor chris said if he say what God is tell him that if he say it there will be confustion among people this is just one now.dont say something wrong about God anioted servant. of God so that you will not bring problem to your self.i can say a man of God his not right because i did not but him in that office God did so God blessed you pastor chris for all your preaching have listing to that have change my life i wound forget this message (HEAVEN IN YOU)

If u say ill words concerning a man of God u re just on your own. So embrace wisdom

  34. Ufomba Caleb. says:

    “Every bad habit can be replaced with a good one. The devil uses the guilt of masturbation to render the believer ineffective and inefficient in the things and service of God”- Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. It’s important we understand how much time we are living in and how much time we have. So what? Be smart! And do not allow the guilt of masturbation weigh you down. There is a lot of work to be done and a lot of souls to be won over to the Lord. Masturbation is no more than a habit. So, let the guilt of ‘a habit’ not weigh you down. Instead replace such habit with the habit of studying God’s word. That way, we would by no sense of ambiguity find it difficult to understand what the Man of God has daringly attempted to voice his thoughts, in a controversial issue, others would rather have us ignorant of. God bless Pastor Chris and other anointed men of God. God bless our country!

    the peoplelooking for a reason to keep on masturbating have seen one which is unfortunately from the mouth from the servant of the devil and not God. is masturbation stated as approved in the bible? if not, it is a sin whether oyakilome likes it or not. we should test whatever we are told with the word of God

  48. seme says:

    Masturbation is only a way the devil uses to make you beleive that since you cannot funicate as it is a sin, then you can help your self by masturbating. But the question is, what triggers the act? Lustful thoughts or feeling of having sex, the same thing that makes one commit funication. After the act, the guilt of sin lingers as though you committed funication. Masturbation is a SIN, We should be careful of the teachings we receive from so called Men of God, and always ask for the Holy Spirit to guide us.

    The Bible says “work out YOUR OWN salvation with fear and trembling.”
    Don’t hook your salvation on the beliefs of another cause its not going to be an EXCUSE on before God on judgement day.
    EACH MAN WILL ANSWER FOR HIMSELF!!! So I urge you to search the scriptures for yourself like the Burea christians, who always went back home to search if what Paul taught them was so in the Bible.
    GOD BLESS

  83. The Don M says:

    Christians should have learnt by now that sins are not associated with objects and actions, but with the heart. Jesus healed on the sabbath, sin or not? We need to understand that sins are not derived from what we do or not, eat or not. Sins are derived from the content and the states of our hearts. If you masturbate to get sperm for sperm count test, is it a sin? We need to get religion out and understand what the man of God is saying. Smoking, taking alcohol, sins?? Christians should learn by now that these so called sins they are struggling with are a device from the enemy to build up guilt and condemnation. The sin involved is lust and not masturbation…Questions to be asked. Is kissing a sin? How about hugging the opposite sex? Because you don’t reach orgasm, right? So, consider deeply, what is sin!!??

    I am a Jew and since “Christians” got your Old Testament for our TORAH and in our BOOK OF LAW(BOOK OF MOSES), YAHWEH never said that masturbation is a sin but then again you jesus followers(especially you Nigerians) think you are holier than the rest of the world when u don’t even understand your own religion. i always see you guys argue about your bible and call each other name just because the person attends a different church instead of helping the human race get better.

    SOME CHURCHES OR PREACHERS TALK A LOT OF CRAP THAT IS NOT BIBLICAL!!! ONE OF IT IS THAT SEX IS PERMITTED ONLY WITHIN MARRIAGE.

    1 Corinthians 7:25-28
    King James Version (KJV)

    25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
    26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
    27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
    28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

    Notice: The Swedish translation is more correct. “Virgins” are the “unmarried”. A “wife” is “unmarried” free woman. So this context shows that God has no commandment for the sex-life of the unmarried. Hence the starting verse 25 in the chapter 7 is dedicated to the widows and the unmarried regarding partnership or sexuality.

    But before that,you must’ve given your life to Jesus Christ,SHALOM!!!!

  95. Harry Oses says:

    If u study the bible carefully, every other forms of sexual immoralities was dealt with. Am still yet to see where the bible condemns masturbation. It takes two to have sex. But one thing is certain, fornicators, God will punish. I think many critics misunderstood Pst Chris. He didn’t advise anyone to indulge in it. But the the truth must be spoken irrespective of who u are. Let the church not be divided on things that are unscriptural(masturbation). But lets focus on things that are scriptural and killing pple in the world. And i would advise that we stop posting insults on him bcos everybody is entittled to his own opion, just as the way u call it sin. Pst Chris, ride on with the gospel

  111. Christprisoner says:

    PASTOR CHRIS HAS MANY HIDDEN DOCTRINES OF DEMONS THAT WOULD COME OUT SOON, BEWARE! BE WARNED!! BE CAREFUL.

    1 Timothy 4:1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

    2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

    Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible about Chris and others
    This know also,…. That not only men of bad principles and practices are in the churches now, as before described in the preceding chapter, but that in succeeding ages there would be worse men, if possible, and the times would be still worse; this the apostle had, and delivered by a spirit of prophecy, and informed Timothy, and others of it, that he and they might be prepared for such events, and fortified against them:

    that in the last days perilous times shall come; “or hard” and difficult times to live in; not by reason of the outward calamities, as badness of trade, scarcity of provisions, the ravages of the sword, &c. but by reason of the wickedness of men, and that not of the profane world, but of professors of religion; for they are the persons afterwards described, who will make the times they live in difficult to others, to live soberly, righteously, and godly; the days will be evil, because of these evil men: or they will be “troublesome” times, very afflicting and distressing to pious minds; as the places and times, and men and customs of them were to Lot, David, Isaiah, and others: and also “dangerous” ones to the souls of men; who will be beguiled by their fair speeches, and specious pretences, to follow their pernicious ways, which will bring destruction upon them; their doctrines will eat as a gangrene, and their evil communications will corrupt good manners, before observed. And these times will be “in the last days” of the apostolic age, and onward to the end of the world: the Jews generally understand by this phrase, when used in the Old Testament, the days of the Messiah; and which are the last days of the world, in comparison of the times before the law, from Adam to Moses, and under the law, from thence to Christ; and even in the times of the apostles, at least towards the close of them, great numbers of men rose up under the Christian name, to whom the following characters well agree, as the Gnostics, and others; and who paved the way for the man of sin, the Romish antichrist, whose priests and votaries are here likewise described to the life: so that these last days may take in the general defection and apostasy of the church of Rome, as well as those times, which followed the apostles, and those which will usher in the second coming of Christ. The Ethiopic version renders it, “in the latter days will come an evil, or bad year”.

  123. Anon says:

    It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 NIV).

    He who has an ear, let him hear what God has said in His Word!

    I do not see how masturbation will keep u holy or honourable or pure!
    It is unfortunate that a lot of people have believed this LIE. However, we should all take note of the last part of the above scripture. This is clearly an instruction from God, if u reject it, u do not reject Pastor Chris but U reject God.

  124. Tj says:

    Get things clear here. The man that quoted Roman 1 : 24 did not read that place very well. That is how some people bring confusions into life by reading the word of God wrong, and God Himself does not author confusion. Those people who say “masturbation is a sin” practise masturbation. They are liers and hate truth. Masturbation is natural. You can do it alone or with your wife. There isn’t a place in the where Bible talks about killing anyone who masturbates. Bible says a lot about emission of sperm/semen ( Lev. 22:4; Lev. 15:16-18).
    Some people in this life have wickedness in them. When they have followers, they treat them heartlessly. They ascribe their own nature to God, thinking that God’s like them, who kill everybody anyhow because of their offence. Note this today, even sexual intercourse with your wife is an unclean thing. God has given us a space of certain grace because our body is natural. We are emotional, pyschological, sexual and mental beings. Masturbation is good either alone or with your wife. You can do it in the presence or absence of your wife. When it affects your daily business and activities. Be moderate in doing it. Even sexual intercouse with your wife must interrupt your daily business and activities. We are not in this life for sex only. There are many things.

Keeping on rejoicing because your pastor has giving you the right to abuse and manipulate your bodies which is His temple through lustful pleasure. Because you know the truth from lay men/women who may not be pastors or Bishops, their testimony will jugde you. Clap your hands, very soon he will tell you you can have sex outside marriage if you are faithful to one partner. You will come here to rejoice since your pastor would be approving your wicked desires and act. Thats your prayer been answered: pastors after your own heart, ready to run into error at his will with congregational admirers. I dont blame him. It could be reflection of his own life style. The wife lives in London with his 2 kids while he stays mainly in south africa. What do you expect his approval to be. Brethren, pls know that masturbation is a sin. Those of you that are still into it, contd to trust God to be delivered totally from it. This truth you know and holdfast will deliver you even on the last day. Do not follow multitude to do evil. The word of God, Holyspirit and your conscience is in the court room of your heart now judging you. Jesus loves you-love Him back. Do the right thing. Be bless.

    so my good friend, where in the Bible is it written that mustabation is a sin or not a sin ?

  133. Samuel Williams? says:

    In psychology, masturbation is seen as abnormalcy, selfishness and mental derrangement. In Christiandom, guilt is a sign of sin or what else? Don’t twist it. Peer pressure led me to masturbation and it was a torn in my flesh. Now I don’t engage. I am grown. Lack of opportunity is the chief source and lack of self control the key bulldozer. If u imagine a man or a woman in ur heart, Jesus says u have committed adultery. Wen I was enslaved, I wanted to have sex but I feared the consequences but masturbation overrides my will to say no to the same sin( Rom 7). Thank God for his deliverance. I am a med student. Doctors say nothing is wrong with it but the same know the grievous physiohistological and biochemical consequences of the act. If u ever got involved, u’d notice a whisper, “what have u done, again”. Likesomeone sho is possessed. And the death of ur soul rejuvenates. I speak not to impress u but that thing wen u dey chop and ur stomach dey porg, stop am abeg. I am not surprised, I’ve heard worse. Be careful

  145. johndavis says:

    I dont & will not agree with pastor chris on this one. Masturbation is a brutal sin that demons take advantage of to posses people who take part in it, for all i knw, i’ve witness a deliverance section where the demons spoke out through a man that they were only able to posses him through the sin of masturbation to destroy his life & career.
    Take note: even the devil confess that masturbation is one of his tactics to get into the mind of pple & manupulate their lives with the sin. Fellow christians run away from masturbation because it will drag you to hell, since its a sin against your body & you all knw that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost & i tell you sinning against your body is equally sinning against God who your body is made to be his temple.
    But if you dont believe me, u must believe on the judgement day nilly willy, i pray u realise the truth now while you still can. God help us all.

    Be carefull wat U̶̲̥̅̊ say because in such matters it is easy 2 sin against d holy spirit

  147. John says:

    It is quite amazing dat ppl will go to any lenght to defend their ‘pastors’ instead of seeing the truth. There is a reason why d other name for masturbation is ‘self-abuse’. They say its just d thought and not d act, how foolish can u get. Dis means dat u can rape somebody and it will be right as long as u are not thinking of d act. All those defending chris oyakhilome despite his obvious errors are like d proverbial fly dat follows d corpse to d grave. As for so called ‘pastor’ chris, remember d curse Jesus placed on ppl who lead these little ones astray, it is better that a millstone is tied around his neck and thrown into d sea. For every soul dat u av misled concerning dis issue of masturbation, u will stand and answer before Jesus Christ our Judge. U better repent chris oyakhilome before its too late.

  148. Chuks says:

    Is it not a sin when you imagine such evil in heart with or without intention of bringing it to reality. This could lead to rape especially when you are consumed with such abominable desire. Don’t you think that the person involved in this act has already committed fornication or adultery spiritually.
    I want to ask pastor these question:
    When you were an unbeliever, do you masturbate?
    Do you still do it now that you have giving your life to Jesus?
    Is your opinion a revelation or a mere human understanding?

    I beg for answer since there is no Bible support.

  149. Neku says:

    What leads to lustful thinking is lustful desire, and what leads to masturbation is lustful thinking. Your ideology and opinion is unbiblical and absolutely wrong. The scripture says, that as a man thinketh in his heart so he is. If someone has a strong appetite for sex and the urge continue to grow. In the process of satisfying the urge decided to go to his/her bed, lie down and assumed that he/she is having a sex with Agnes in the case of a man or John in the case of a lady. During this time he/she has imagine the nakedness of either the man or the lady and then put his mind as if it real by stimulating her organ, and giving the person a smooth or rough ride, and at the end he/she ejaculate or reaches orgasm. What do you call such imagination of vain thing. Righteousness or evil.

    The bible also says that any man who look at a woman lustfully has already committed fornication/ adultery with her. So pastor what exactly are you saying. I have listened to some your preaching and teaching that was soul lifting. But in this case my faith and understanding of the Holy Bible in the Holy Ghost made me not to accept your opinion which I presumed is your personal opinion.

    Proverbs 23: 7, and Matthew 5: 27 – 28.

    Pastor chris with due respect sir, listen to the word of God and it says : Abstain from all appearance of evil.1thesso 5:22. Listen, The standard of Gods word can’t be watered down nor changed – malachi 3:6. even the unbelivers knows that such act dose not please God how much more a born again? See the word “unrighteouness”=Not right or fair,unjust,sinfulness, wickedness – estrangement from God. impiety, impiousness – by virtue of lacking respect for God. immorality – the quality of not being in accord with standards of right or good conduct; dishonour – lacking honor or integrity. Pastor, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind 1cor 6:9 (either by them selves or with their partner). Hear this somebody- Rom 1:29-32 says:29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. Servants of God beware men of like ppl say be careful, children of God discipline yourselves -To practice things that are similar with sexual act nor lust, probably with a girls picture in mine or handy is nothing but sensual act which God abhors. God bless u as u obey his commandments- Amen!

Fingering, Touching/ romancing your body in order to feel romance or release or easy yourself sexually probably with a girl’s/boy’s picture in mind or handy is nothing but a sin, sensual act God abhors. (Expect with your wife) God bless u as u obey his commandments- Amen!
