Renowned Nigerian pastor and founder of Abel Damina Ministries International, Dr. Abel Damina, recently offered insights into overcoming pornography addiction.
Damina emphasized the power of immersing oneself in the Word of God as a means to combat addiction. During an interview on Comfort FM’s Righteous Invasion of Truth (RIOT) programme in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, he advised addicts not to struggle but rather to focus on consuming more of God’s word.
His approach is unconventional: instead of urging individuals to immediately cease watching pornography, he suggests a gradual shift in focus. He encourages dedicating more time to listening to teachings and studying scripture. According to Damina, by prioritizing the word of God over pornography, one can gradually diminish the desire for the latter.
He stressed the importance of consistency, recommending listeners to immerse themselves in his teachings on Christ and to continue learning. Over time, Damina believes, the appetite for pornography will wane, replaced by a healthier craving for spiritual nourishment.
In essence, Damina’s message is clear: rather than attempting to forcefully stop watching pornography, individuals should invest more time in nurturing their spiritual lives through the study of scripture. Through this intentional focus, the grip of addiction can gradually loosen, paving the way for spiritual growth and freedom from harmful habits.
