The world is being overtaken by the night which is full of malicious things. We, as believers tend to stumble during this period. But God the Almighty expects us to be like "Watchman". Watchman is a person, who in the right perceptive guards in the city from destruction, theft or robbery and other immoral things. If he falls asleep, the city falls into havoc. Do you want such a thing to befall in our city? The redeemed one of the Lord have to stand steadfast during this blackened night and not being lost in ones way to the eternal abode.
The Believer as "Watchman" should:
- Put on the full armour of God to withstand the schemes of the Devil
- Watch and pray lest you be trapped in the net of this world
- Intercede for the unrighteous generation to gaurd your territory from immorality
- Withstand all the variations in the spiritual atmosphere
- Be a light to the stumbling ones.
The night is nearly over; the day is fast approaching. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light (Romans 13:12). Our Lord Jesus, the son of righteousness will soon appear and the rewards are in his hands. Let us be eligible to receive those rewards and not be ashamed of in his presence. Will our hands be empty on the day? Morning is near, let each of us carry out our responsibility as a "Watchman" and be prepared to receive our wages from our master.
