THE WATCHMAN

 

Reading through the books of Ezekiel, It made me remember when I was much younger, I visited my granny's house and unknown to me they just got two new dogs to watch over the house, my very small self was just bouncing inside the compound as usual as I was not aware there were new watchdogs in the house. Immediately they saw me they started barking and running towards to me and I took to my heels and this automatically made my grandparents aware that something was going on outside as the dogs passed the message appropriately.

This particular story struck my heart when I came across the word "Watchman" in chapter 33. It could be seen there in that watchmen are typically chosen to keep watch over people, the Israelites in this case just as my grandparents got themselves two dogs to secure their home to the best of the dogs capabilities and the dogs did not default based on the the encounter I had with them. 

Going further, we  were made to see that watchmen spiritually are to warn the people of intending danger as a result of the people's acts (Ezekiel 33;3) as the obedient ones will get delivered. The scriptures records it that Abba does not joke with those he appoints as watchmen, no wonder what we have in Ezekiel chapter 33, He told prophet Ezekiel strictly of his appointment as a watchman over the house of Israel, what he expects from him as to deliver his message strictly as He has sent him to the Israelites and it was noted also that if he fails to deliver as he was sent He would enquire their blood from him.

This is telling us as Christians that are we following the instructions passed from Abba directly from genuine men of God He has kept as watchmen over our lives? Are we sure we are not also carried away also by false prophecies. The bible says we shall know the truth and it shall set us free. It is our duty to test the prophesies delivered to us through prayers to the Ancient of days and also reading the word of God. As this helps our eyes of understanding to be opened to see things He wants us to see. Also, are we not even proposing to be found worthy to be a watchman to even ourselves and the society at large for it is an honor to be a mouthpiece of the Father. 

In conclusion Brethren, we should hearken to those the lord has kept as watchmen over our lives in order to forestall any coming doom and most importantly as children of God, when we have some deposition in our spirits as regards fellow brethren we should not be scared to tell it to them as the Lord does not joke with those He appoints as watchmen in delivering His message strictly to whosoever He sends them to.

PRAYER POINTS: Father, make me obedient to your word and make me see things the way it is meant to b seen and said.


THANKS FOR READING!!!

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

God's Laws Versus God's Promise

A father who lives in the diaspora once had a son and for some reasons his son cannot come along with him. Nevertheless, he kept on investing and was lucrative in his business. This man got a guardian to keep his son in track while he was away and he wrote his will so that when he is away permanently his possession could be given to his child by the guardian on reaching a specified age written in his will. He did this so that the child could be rightly led and could have come of age not to mismanage the properties. Going through the books of Galatians, I had a deeper understanding of God's laws and God's promises. Firstly, we have sins, laws and promises. Literally, Sin is anything detestable to God, God's laws are the guidance from God given alongside the promise to reveal to people their sins (Gal 3:19). God's law was given until the fulfilment of the promise. God's promise is simply grace in the human form of Christ Jesus. Going back to my introductory story, the...

UNDER THE SUN!

  A whole lot goes down under the sun,when I say under the sun i am referring to the whole earth as a whole. Imagine a  child is born into the world, coming out of the mother's womb empty and naked, after the child's birth he is weaned and goes through several stages before he finally starts his education, from primary to secondary and to higher institution he could even go to the length of taking professional exams and pursuing his career to the peak. After this his parents tells him to bring home a wife, he gets married start having kids and making his kids follow the same process as he has been brought up,when he grows old he dies and maybe wills his property to his children and he without no doubt knows what happens again after his demise as he will be buried empty not even with the certificates and qualifications he has attained. What a life!       This above example is typical of a successful human, several generation comes and goes. we all have fore fath...
