Pastor Sam Adeyemi, founder of Daystar Christian Center, has offered advice to men struggling with insecurities about their physical appearance, particularly concerns regarding the size of their manhood.
In his sermon on Sunday, Adeyemi shared a personal story from his secondary school days to emphasize the dangers of comparing one’s body to others.
He cautioned against the pressures of body image and societal standards that often lead to self-doubt.
Reflecting on the experiences of his younger years, the 57-year-old pastor recalled an incident where some of his classmates measured their private parts with a ruler to compare sizes, which he described as harmful and absurd.
“The pressure of body image is one of the major issues we face today. Comparing your body with others is unhealthy and destructive,” Adeyemi said. “In school, some of my classmates actually measured their private parts with rulers to compare, and it was a damaging experience for their self-image. It’s nonsense.”
The pastor also addressed the rise of online advertisements promising methods to enlarge male genitalia, advising young men to avoid such temptations.
He emphasized that true fulfillment in relationships does not depend on size but on connection, skills, and love for one’s partner.
“The focus should be on inner growth, building meaningful relationships, and accepting yourself as you are,” Adeyemi added. “Don’t fall for the lies you see online. The length doesn’t matter. What matters is being effective, skilled, and loving towards your spouse. So, wait until marriage and don’t let these pressures destroy you.”
