GOD’S CHOSEN GENERATION, “I HAVE MADE YOU A WATCHMAN” NOW WHAT?
“Now the….Lord came to me, saying, “SON OF MAN I HAVE MADE YOU A WATCHMAN, I have made you a WATCHMAN for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. Ezekiel 3:16-21(NKJV)
Just as God appointed His prophets, throughout the Bible to be watchmen over Israel, likewise He has appointed each of us to be watchmen over His flocks. “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
But as Gods chosen generation have we lost sight of what our responsibilities are. A WATCHMAN never leaves his post while on duty. He should always be on the lookout for impending dangers so he may inform others on impending disaster ahead.
A WATCHMAN must also Die to self daily while allowing God’s Spirit to continue to transform their character to be like Christ. Also a WATCHMAN must always be aware of the god of this worlds tactics, while informing the world “That the wages of sin is death”
In the text above, God has appointed Ezekiel, to be a WATCHMAN. His duty was to LISTEN ATTENTIVELY TO GOD’S 
MESSAGE and GIVE A WARNING FROM GOD. Also my friends as a WATCHMAN for Christ you have the same responsibility, NOW WHAT!!
“Because when I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and if you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, then their blood I will require at your hand” once again NOW WHAT. Today you have a decision to make.
But as Gods Children, WE ARE ALREADY HIS WATCHMAN “for such a time as this”, because He has given us the responsibility to inform the world THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD and soon He will return to take all of His faithful Children who have endured to a place
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.: 1 Cor. 2:9 (NIV) So my friends we cannot afford to fall asleep at the gate the world is counting on us to keep WATCH.
But there must be a PASSION to stay ALERT and to stay VIGILANT “ because we know not the day or the hour.” For our God tells us “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Rev. 22:12 (NIV)
“We are pressing on to the final conflict, and this is no time to compromise. It is no time to hide your colors. When the battle wages sore, let no one turn traitor. It is no time to lay down or conceal our weapons, and give Satan the advantage in the warfare.
But unless you WATCH, and keep your garments unspotted from the world, you will not stand true to your Captain. It is no time for WATCHMAN to slumber on the walls of Zion. Let them be wide-awake. Call to your FELLOW-WATCHMAN, crying, “The morning cometh, and also the night.”
It is no time now to relax our efforts, to become tame and spiritless; no time to hide our light under a bushel, to speak smooth things, to prophesy deceit. Every power is to be employed for God. You are to maintain your allegiance, bearing testimony for God and for truth. (E.G. White Chapter 132 Let the Trumpet Give a Certain Sound)
So WATCHMAN TODAY if you are a child of God “SOUND THE BATTLE CRY! See, the foe is nigh; Raise the standard high for the Lord; Gird your armor on, stand firm every one; Rest your cause upon His holy Word.”
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
