Sexual Addiction was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 18th of August 2021 at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan.
In his teaching, Rev. Dunamis made mention of the following important points:
It is to the extent to which you are free that you can help others.
Sexual addiction is a mental disease.
The problem that follows you to marriage started when you were single. So you must learn to deal with the issues you see in your life as a single. The earlier you deal with sexual addiction, the better for you.
3 Building Blocks Of Sexual Addiction
- Fantasy
- Pornography
- Masturbation
Some sex addicts do not need pornography to start fantasizing.
Some Characteristics Of Sex Addicts
- Poor self-image
- Mood alteration and escape
- Denial and delusions
Most of our problems began when we were little, and until we go back to the beginning we may not be able to break free.
There are some unhealthy family rules which can serve as a root of sexual addiction. Some of these rules include we don’t talk, we don’t feel, we blame others for our problems, we minimize our problems, we deny our problems.
You have to come to the place of honesty to be absolutely free. As a single person, you must learn to talk.
If you don’t rewire your brain, you cannot be all that God has called you to be.
The lying spirit prevents any help from coming to you. So when the devil wants to deal with you with sexual sins or sexual addiction, he brings lies and deception with it, so that you don’t tell the whole truth and be free. You therefore live in continuous denial and setback.
You must therefore learn to speak up, not to just anybody but to mature people who watch over you e.g. your pastor, etc.

The faithfulness of God never ceases to amaze me. It is beyond every explanation. It is beyond the parameters of cognition. It supersedes the highest of the mountains, the loftiest of the buildings, the grandest of the beauty in nature, and the calmness of the night seasons.
It is a thing to know God is faithful, it is another thing to JUDGE God faithful. Ever thought of that?
The scripture elucidates here;
Heb 11:11 (KJV) Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Our discourse tonight centers around the verse above. I want you to see it as I see it and as God wants you to see it. The reason Sarah received strength to conceive seed and was delivered was because she JUDGED God faithful!
Oh, how that percolates to very bone marrow!
Can you judge God faithful in your relationship? Can you judge God faithful in that broken relationship and abandoned wedding plans?
Everything about Sarah’s conceiving looked like a mirage, but she JUDGED God faithful.
I now love the Passion Translation!
Heb 11:11 (TPT) Sarah’s faith embraced the miracle power to conceive even though she was barren and was past the age of childbearing, for the authority of her faith rested in the One who made the promise, and she TAPPED into his faithfulness.
Whoa!
Can you dare to tap into His faithfulness today concerning the deepest desires of your heart? Can you tap into God’s faithfulness concerning that brother or sister? Can you tap into God’s faithfulness concerning that issue that looks like delay?
Oh sure, if Sarah did allow the authority of her faith to rest in the one who made the promise, then you can too!
I pray that God grant you more understanding to TAP into His faithfulness!
Be blessed today and always!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I judge God faithful.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Go ahead and tap into the faithfulness of God.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Heb 11:11 (KJV) Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

In those days, when a new bride has been given, the bridegroom will lead her into a hut where their love will be consummated. Everybody will wait outside, expecting the groom, or is it the bride herself now, to bring out a red stained cloth, a token signifying that she was a virgin till her wedding.
Yes, these values and powerful cultural practices are quickly being eroded by civilization cum immorality, we still must raise the standard as children of God.
Our bed must remain green! A green bed signifies a life devoid of sexual immorality and pre-marital compromise.
A green bed is devoid of perversions and all antics that have been invented by the enemy of our soul.
Here is how the scripture puts it
Son 1:16 (KJV) Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
Let the bed remain green!
Oh yes, I know, a lot of bed have been stained even before the age of accountability, through abuses that emanated from people we have trusted.
The trauma of the past must not be allowed to create a permanent stain on our soul. We must allow the blood of Jesus to remove every red stain and clean up our soul as if we were never stained before.
This is the heritage we have in God. Allow Him to bring forgiveness to you over the perpetrator, that every stain can be removed and your destiny cleaned up for the fulfillment of God’s plan for your life.
Irrespective of the mistakes of the past, you can approach marriage with a green bed, not a stained, ugly distorted bed, for that often comes with bedsheets of stigmatized coverings! Rather allow the blood of Jesus…that will do the ultimate work.
Be blessed today and always!

After God created man, God spoke to him in the very first words ever recorded from God to him. Interestingly and amazingly, God referred to man as “them”
Gen 1:27 (MKJV) And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created THEM male and female.
God created man. He created them! What is going on here? The reason is that God wasn’t only talking to Adam, He was talking to Adam and all of humanity in his loins. Male and female were both within the loins of Adam and God addressed all of humanity at that moment.
If you are like me, you will want to be interested in the very first words God spoke to Adam and all of humanity. As Adam stood before the Lord, along side with you and me, in huge frame and in the very image of God, here is what happened.
Gen 1:28 (MKJV) And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.
So we see what God did. And He spoke the very first words!
Be Fruitful!
Herein lies the mandate of God over your relationship and eventually marriage.
Fruitfulness does not include broken relationships. Fruitfulness does not include jilting experiences and broken hearts. Fruitfulness does not include abandoned marital promises. Fruitfulness does not include irresponsible brothers or unavailable sisters, who are just out to scam your emotions and make a mincemeat of your emotional health.
Never accept or believe anything less of the mandate of God over your life and relationships. It’s fruitfulness all the way and nothing more! This is what you should embrace. This is what you should believe. And that is what will be your experience. So I declare over you in Jesus name!

God’s first words to Adam and all of humanity, encapsulated in the loins of Adam is “Be Fruitful!” How encouraging and strengthening that is!
Let your imagination run free! Adam, in his huge frame stood before the Almighty! God in his divinely amplified voice, (I guess it will be loud and soothing at the same time) massively reverberating to the very core of Eden, proclaimed over Adam and in effect over you and I “Be Fruitful!
Hey! Your marriage is blessed! Irrespective of the antics and attacks of the enemy of our soul, God’s voice is a resolute and firm. It’s a mandate of Fruitfulness!
You know what I am excited about? It’s the unchangeability of His words and voice! His voce never changes!
Gen 1:28 (MKJV) And God blessed them. And God said to them, BE FRUITFUL, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.
Nothing less. In terms of finances, fruit of the womb, job opportunities, career, job, health, the list is endless, the mandate is fruitfulness.
Do not allow the devil to negotiate you out of this blessing. Oh, yeah, that’s his tool of trade! You must be resolute, believing and trusting about what God said about you!
I pray for you this day, fruitfulness in every area of your marriage in Jesus name! We come against every plan of the devil and we cancel and nullify them in Jesus name!
So shall it be for you and your family in Jesus name!
