The Watchman

You and I have unique calls to serve God. God has by design made us different and unique. You and I are called to pursue God whatever your calling or purpose. In the midst of the call or destiny that God has ordained for you and I He has set us as watchmen. Prayer is what enables one to communicate with God. Prayer is another avenue of engaging God. Prayer is God's chosen method of relationship building.

Whether you are a plumber or a pastor, a councillor or counselor, an usher or the choir leader, we all have a responsibility to pray. It's in the place of prayer that miracles are wrought. Prayer enables one to wrestle and prevail thus establishing the dominion of God. Prayer is the place of communion with God. There are different levels of prayer. One dimension of prayer that i believe Ezekiel was challenging us not to forget was the watchman's dimension in prayer. You and I have a responsibility to pray not just for ourselves but for those around us. We have a duty to watch over not only our families, but our localities, the cities we live in and the nation we dwell in. God has called us to watch over the land we are set in.

God is looking for men and women who will rise in the role of a watchman in the place of prayer. True love of your neighbour is expressed in the place of a watchman. A watchman warns of the impending evil and only a committed person is willing to risk their lives to take up this role. As I read about the call to be a watchman and the responsibility as per Eze 33 I came to a place of conviction. As I read I realised how weak my prayer life is. I made a choice to stir up the watchman dimension in my prayer life that I may see the world changed.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
