In a recent discussion, Dr. Abel Damina, the well-known Nigerian pastor and founder of Abel Damina Ministries International, shared valuable advice on overcoming addiction to pornography.
His suggestion to those struggling with this issue is to immerse themselves in the teachings of the word of God. According to Damina, by consistently focusing on God’s word, the temptation towards pornography will gradually decrease.
During an interview on Comfort FM’s Righteous Invasion of Truth (RIOT) programme in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Damina emphasized the importance of not fighting the urge to watch porn, but rather redirecting that energy towards biblical teachings.
His guidance was clear: “Instead of trying to resist watching porn, continue doing so. However, supplement this habit by dedicating more time to studying the scriptures. For every hour spent on pornography, allocate three to four hours to immersing yourself in God’s word.”
“Make a conscious effort to consume teachings about Christ. Embrace continuous learning. Gradually, you will notice a shift – your inclination towards porn will diminish, while your hunger for spiritual enlightenment will increase. Ultimately, encountering porn will no longer be appealing to you.”
According to Damina, the transformative power of God’s word will replace the allure of pornography with a healthier fascination for spiritual nourishment. His final advice reiterated the strategy: “Don’t attempt to quit immediately. Instead, continue watching porn, but balance it with intensive study of the Bible. Soon enough, you will witness the fading of your porn cravings.”
