This is the continuing post about Masturbation. If you missed the part I, read it here
Many people begin masturbation for many reasons, but whatever the reason is, none is justifiable.
The main reason or one of the main reasons for masturbation is emptiness, wanting/desiring pleasure, abused and feeling filthy, low self-esteem, loneliness and the lists goes on.
One of the Solution to Masturbation would be proper
understanding and growing knowledge in the word of God coming to Know Him, get
filled up by Him and the things that concern him and lose appetite for those
things that do not please him.
It is as simple as that.
The Bible tells us in Galatians 5.19-22 what human nature
does. And it is quite plain. The human nature could be filled with immoral,
filthy and indecent actions.
But the spirit produces peace, self-control, patience etc.,
and those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature with
all of its passions and desires-Galatians 5:22-24.
Simply put Masturbation is more of an internal problem than
the external one.
The Bible says, “God made all of us originally to be virtuous,
but many have allowed their fleshy minds take over” [paraphrased]. So let's
keep teaching and leading people to Christ, He is the true solution.
Internal actions dictates the external.
Here are things you must know;
1) Understanding why you should stop or not engage in it at
all is the first step
2) The second step is making a decision to stop. This can
actually help a person in this case with all I have explained earlier.
Finally, for anyone going through this and finding it
'seemingly hard' 1)Trust God 2)Come out and talk to someone 3)Be ready to admit
it 4)Don't feel filthy and die in silence, Jesus already cleansed you, but
understanding is the Key to unlocking that Inheritance that is already yours.
You weren't born masturbating, so any bad habit learnt can
be unlearnt; God's got you.
