STANDING FIRM AT OUR WATCHPOST
We are living in dangerous times when our common enemy is trying to destroy us, our family and
our church. In the past, God called men and women as messengers to protect his people, but today, God
is calling us to be the watchmen and watchwomen to alert people about any danger. Prophet Ezekiel
wrote: “Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them; when I bring the sword against a land
the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword
coming against the land, and blows the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but
does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head. Since
he heard the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken
warning, he would be saved himself. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the
trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be
taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.” (Ezekiel 33:2-
6) We are watchmen and watchwomen, who must be warning people about what is about to happen. As
watchmen and watchwomen, we have a great responsibility, not only for our own salvation, but for the
salvation of the people around us. A watchman or watchwoman cannot sleep when he or she is on duty.
The apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians these words: “Therefore it says, ‘Awake O sleeper, and rise
from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephesians 5:14)
Prophet Habakkuk received a message from God to be delivered to the people of Israel to let them
know about the imminent danger that nation was about to face. He prophesied during the kingdom of
Jehoiakim, king of Judah (609-597), and during a time when Israel was under the dominion of Babylon.
Habakkuk asks God many important questions about the spiritual condition of Israel and Judah. “Why
Lord, you let me see what I am seeing?” Israel and Judah were in a spiritual detachment from God. We
also are living a similar spiritual condition of Habakkuk’s time. During the time of exile, Israel and Judah
were practicing the same sins other nations were practicing. For this reason, God called Habakkuk as a
watchman to bring a message of alert to Israel. God is calling us today to be watchmen and
watchwomen to alert people about the imminent judgment God is about to bring to this earth. For this
reason, we must be awake.
The work of our enemy is to look for opportunities to attack and destroy us; for this reason, we
must be alert, prepared, and firm at our watchtower. The apostle Peter wrote: “But in your hearts set
apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the
reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (1 Peter 3:15) The
watchman was responsible for his life and for the lives of everyone who lived in his city. If we failed
to alert people about the dangerous times we are living in, the Lord will make us accountable for their
lives. We must stand firm in our watchtower. We will face temptations to believe and do what other
people do, but we do not have to follow bad examples. We must stand firm in what we believe. King
Solomon wrote: “My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.” Proverbs 1:10)
The devil went to school and earned a PHD in division. He does all he can to divide marriages,
families, churches, and nations. For this reason, we are responsible to protect our family, our church, our
faith from the attacks of the devil and his demons. We are mandatory reporters. Peter wrote: “Be self-controlled
and alert. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for
someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
Our society is going from bad to worse. Most people, including Christians, are pushing Jesus out of their
churches and turning away from God. But there are other people who are still functioning as watchmen
and watchwomen, telling others that Jesus is the only way, the only true and the only giver of eternal
life. Let us stand firm at our watchtower to alert others about any danger coming to destroy us like
prophet Habakkuk and others God’s messengers in the past did.
