PERSONALIZE THE WORD.

PERSONALIZE THE WORD BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME!

So get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted [in your hearts] contains the power to save your souls (James 1:21 AMP).

There are people who in church, never think the message being preached is addressed to them. They always feel the pastor is referring to someone else, especially if he’s correcting something negative. Imagine two ladies, Susan and Mary, had a row before coming to church. While in church, it happens that the pastor’s message is on love. Susan suddenly feels justified and starts casting conceited glances at Mary, hoping that Mary is hearing.

That’s a wrong approach to the Word of God by Susan. The message came for both of them, but Susan missed the blessing because she didn’t personalize the Word. She kept thinking it wasn’t she but Mary who needed to hear what the pastor had to say. Whenever you’re in church and God’s Word is coming to you, always personalize the Word and receive it for yourself. Don’t sit there wishing the brother owing you money is listening to what the pastor is saying about debts; receive the Word for yourself.

Some people only pay attention when they like the topic being preached. But once the pastor begins to correct their wrong actions through the Word, they shut themselves out. The Bible says “Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action)” (2 Timothy 3:16 AMP).

In other words, whether the preacher is sharing God’s Word on prosperity or correcting you through the Word, you have to take God’s Word for you for that moment. Always personalize the Word for your progress and blessings.
