Sharing the application of the word of God is the most important thing a believer should be doing in these end times.

God is calling us to tell people our
testimony in light with the word of God such that they can walk the
application of the word of God in their lives.
The spirit of mere sharing the verses
kills the one who shares it in the first place because one doesn’t take time to
understand the application of the word of God to him/her and the relevance of
it to the rest.
The Jews enjoyed reading about the
Messiah but didn't want to calculate the time of his coming that’s told in
Daniel’s 70 weeks prophesies.
Jesus came and they did not recognize
him and did not do what the word of God required of them at that precious time
in their lives.
The Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8 was
reading Isaiah 53, about the Messiah, but could not understand what it meant to
him or what it meant during that time.
Moreover, he was a great church member
who went to Jerusalem, from Ethiopia, to pray and worship the Creator of Heaven
and earth but did not know the plan of salvation in the scripture.
The Apostle Philip asked him if he
understood what he read and he said “How can I, except some man should guide
me?”
As soon as he understood the
application of Isaiah’s prophesy, that it was about the Messiah who came and
became a sacrifice for his sin, he believed and asked Philip to baptize him.
We have to share the relevance of the
world of God in our personal lives, in our countries and in our time otherwise,
people of God will remain in darkness and will not do what is required of the
believer in his/her life, time and place.
God bless us all,
