BELIEVERS’ WATCHFULNESS (PART 4)

Apst. Emmanuel Osezele

KEY TEXT: EZEKIEL 33:7 KJV: "So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.”

As we conclude this series, we now shift from personal watchfulness to corporate responsibility. The vigilant believer is not only guarding their own soul but is also called to watch for others—to be a spiritual watchman over their family, church, community, and generation.

ISAIAH 62:6-7

God holds His people accountable not just for themselves, but for what they fail to warn others about. The spirit of watchfulness involves proclaiming the truth, exposing deception, and interceding for those asleep in darkness.

Today, many are perishing because of silence in the camp of the righteous. A watchful Church is not quiet. She cries aloud, she warns, she weeps for souls, and she boldly declares God’s Word without compromise.

Watchmen cannot sleep. They stay on the wall—observing, praying, warning, and standing in the gap. God is looking for such believers in this final hour. Will you be one?

APPLICATION:

• BE A VOICE: Speak the truth in love. Warn sinners of judgment and point them to salvation in Christ.
• INTERCEDE CONSTANTLY: A true watchman prays for others—especially those who are weak, lost, or straying.
• STAND YOUR POST: Don’t abandon your calling. Stay faithful to your assignment, even when it’s hard or unpopular.

“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night...” — ISAIAH 62:6

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, make me a faithful watchman in this generation. Help me not to be silent when I should speak, nor slumber when I should pray. Strengthen me to warn in love, intercede in power, and shine as a light in the darkness, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION:

ACTS 20:31 KJV: “Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.”
