OVERCOMING PORN ADDICTION 1

At a point, it became very appalling to see explicit clips pop up on my screens. It could be an advert while opening an application or an advert while watching sane content. It could be a clip right after seeing a sermon. I wondered what the matter was, but it finally dawned on me—you market your products to strangers and non-customers to expand your market. I was being targeted because I do not watch such content.

Even after years of clicking “Not interested” and going on premium for some applications, there are still flashes of strange things on my screen once in a while. The devil is really desperate.

Settle it today- Sexual Sin is always very daring. It will come for you. A teacher of the word once said, “Pornography has a voice. If it is in your home, it will call even your children, siblings or friends”.

How many discovered pornography as children because their parents had a magazine or a compact disc? You thought you stumbled on it. No! It came for you.

Maybe you discovered pornography through one of your siblings. They thought they hid it away from their younger sibling, but they were never aware that you knew all about it. It came for you.

My first temptation was with my roommates. I withstood the trap for long. I thought I had escaped until I went to get some soul music discs from a colleague. There was an unmarked disc in the pack. I thought it was music. Alas! It was porn. My colleague came rushing to retrieve it. I returned it but he did not know I had already watched it.

Is there scripture to prove that you are a target of sexual sin (of which porn is one)? Take a look:

The book of Proverbs describes this strange woman who goes all out to get her prey:

Proverbs 7:10-11 NKJV

And there a woman met him, With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart. She was loud and rebellious, her feet would not stay at home.

She is loud. She is rebellious. She is restless.

She made a diligent search for her target:

Proverbs 7:15 NKJV

So, I came out to meet you, diligently to seek your face, And I have found you.

You do not have to go look for pornography again now. Pornography is looking for you everywhere you go even in real life. It almost seems like Babylon is unleashed on our streets.

You are a target. If you look closely, there is a red dot somewhere in your heart region. That is the sniper of porn aiming at you. Never get rid of the breastplate of righteousness. Wear it proudly at all times.

If you are already in its grip, you are delivered in Jesus name. Amen.
