YOU ARE THE WATCHMAN
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Ezekiel 3:17 [KJV]
A watchman is a guard who keeps watch. As a believer; one who has received the kingdom in his heart, you are a watchman over the people in your world. God is holding you accountable as a son; one who is fully developed to take authority and responsibility over your world. God is saying to you today, “Son/daughter of man, I have made you a watchman unto your world”. A watchman is an intercessor who stands before God on behalf of the people and before the people on behalf of God. You are a watchman and God expects you to inform everyone in your world that doomsday is at hand. The day that God will judge the world by Christ is at hand (see Acts 17:31). But do people in your world know this? Do they know that the age is closing up? Do they know that it doesn’t matter how long or short you live on earth, one day you will open your eyes in the zones where time is no more? How can they know it if you refuse to tell them? They can not hear except their watchman takes responsibility to fulfill his/her ministry of warning them to escape the imminent danger. Beloved, you are a watchman God has placed in your sphere of contacts to warn them. Christianity is not a religion. It is a call to escape the impending doom.
Have you thought about it that God didn’t come in Christ to establish a religion? You cannot be talking about religion when lives are at stake. God knew that the eternal destiny of man was at stake. Igbo adage says “the person whose house is on fire, does not pursue rats”. God is in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. God knows what is at stake – the soul of man perishing in hell. He did something about it. He gave Jesus Christ to be the propitiation for our sins. Now the onus is on you to tell those who haven’t heard. Tell those who are in the valley of decision. Let them decide to accept or reject the offer of salvation. You are a watchman to warn all in your sphere of contacts. Jesus says as the Father has sent Him so He has sent us (see John 20:21). Will you break the chain? Somebody probably told you and got you saved. Someone did to you what God is asking you to do to someone else.
There is a consequence for failure. Hear what God says in Ezekiel 3:18, ‘When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.’ Can you imagine God requiring the blood of people in your world at your hand just because you failed to let them hear the gospel enough to either accept or reject it. If you are a medical doctor, you are a watchman medical doctor who God is expecting to tell all his/her patients, family, friends and colleagues that “hey, have you heard, doomsday is approaching fast, have you guaranteed your escape?” and from there you share the gospel with them. Same applies to you no matter what your career/business is. God is counting on you to be responsible. Selah!
REMEMBER: God is expecting you to warn everyone in your world of the impending doom.
CONFESSION: I believe that God came in the person of Christ, paid the penalty for my sins and provided eternal life for me and everyone in my sphere. I am committed to warning everyone that doomsday is at hand. So help me Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command that your heart is set on fire for the gospel today. No blood of any soul will be required at your hand for negligence in Jesus name Amen!
