Pastor Okafor: Pornography dulls brain, kills intelligence

The Founder of the Grace Nation Church International in Lagos State, Dr Chris Okafor, says watching pornography affects people’s brains and damages intelligence.

Pastor Okafor described pornography as evil and condemned the rising percentage of the world’s population hooked on pornography, saying it has damaged their mental faculties.

Speaking to worshippers at a recent Sunday service in the church, the cleric described the trend – fostered mainly by the internet – as horrific, especially when considering that it has been allowed to gain a foothold among Christians who he said should know better.

Okafor said: “Pornography is the devil’s own agenda to pollute the human race before God. God is holy and those who must worship and serve him must do so in spirit and in truth.

“Pornography and all other sexual sins like homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, masturbation, incest and others is an aberration as it contradicts God’s original plan and purpose for man.

Worshipper: Why I believe Pastor Chris Okafor’s prophecy

“Pornography is not only a sin, it is a killer. It deadens the brain, kills intelligence, and completely erodes one’s ability for rational thought. As a matter of fact, it is a dangerous pastime for anyone, particularly Christians to engage in.”

Okafor also condemned Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ), describing it as “straying from God’s agenda for man”.

The cleric added: “I have heard people say it is their sexual preference to engage in same-sex relationships or marriages. How come? Now, let me ask. What was God’s original plan for man as per the issue of relationships?

“In Genesis 2:24, God made it explicitly clear that He favoured a relationship between man and woman by the very act of creating Eve – a woman – as the fit and proper person to live with Adam – a man.

“So, God created Adam and Eve, and not Adam and Steve. We must, therefore, know where God stands on the issue. And where God stands on an issue must always guide our actions and the way we live in this world.”
