Watchman, what of the night ??
Watchman, what of the night ??
The watchman said,
The morning comes, and also the night.
If you will inquire, inquire;
Return !! Come back !!
Cost or price ??
Yahweh our God is always in habit of raising up men that will defend and preserve
His Word at all cost.
In the Bible, Yahweh our God speaks of watchmen.
What exactly is a watchman and does it come with a cost or price ??
Some may accuse you of being judgemental.
Sometimes you will stand alone in your convictions.
Sometimes you may be putting yourself at risk for persecution or harm.
Some people turn their backs to you.
Just a few to mention…
Ancient watchman
A watchman in ancient times was a soldier who stood post on the walls of the city
and alerted it’s inhabitants of impending danger.
Their function is to keep their eyes on the enemy and warn others.
In ancient times, standing watch on a city wall meant open exposure to danger,
as an easy target.
If the enemy could kill or take out the watchmen on the city walls,
those within the city would be more vulnerable.
Watchman today
A watchman today is someone who will passionately watch for wolves with false
doctrines trying to creep into the church (buildings)- and even in Congregation.
They prove all things with the Bible, standing in the first line of defense.
A watchman today is not often in a leadership position or role,
rather it is an often lonely and misunderstood position.
The job comes with no applause and encouragement from others.
Their function is to keep their eyes on the enemy and warn others.
Usually they have no special training or education.
But still, they are not afraid to speak.
Watchman for Yeshua (Jesus)
Today, we must not keep silent, it is time for us to raise our voices-
as much as we can in defence of the Gospel that was passed onto us.
We cannot rob the coming generations of the true Gospel that was handed
over to us which many preachers and teachers of our day have twisted,
perverted and watered down.
We must henceforth preach the true Gospel,
which people might not necessarily like to hear-
but we must preach it anyway !!
We also must defence boldly all the other biblical truths.
Is it worth it ??
Absolutely YES !!
It is Yeshua (Jesus) you are serving !!!!
Link –> Only 1 Gospel
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good
Prove every pastor and preacher or doctrine with the Bible alone.
Read your Bible- read your Bible !!!!
Believe in the Bible, the whole Bible and nothing but the Bible.
Reading your Bible is your best life insurance…
2 Peter 2:1-2
2 But there were also false prophets among the people,
even as there will be false teachers among you,
who will secretly bring in destructive heresies,
even denying the Lord who bought them,
and bring on themselves swift destruction.
2 And many will follow their destructive ways,
because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
Matthew 7:15
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
Forewarn
Soon you will have a fire to expose false teachers and evil works.
Soon you will have a desire to expose wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Then, warn others.
If they do not listen, move on and warn others.
But, when you do, will you be heard ??
Will you be accepted ??
Will you be tolerated ??
Noup.
Yeshua (Jesus) told us the cost.
Matthew 24:24
24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs
and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
1 Timothy 4:1-2
4 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith,
giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron.
What you get ??
You will get confused looks from Christians and other believers.
Even in the body of Messiah, you may feel you are misunderstood or feel isolated.
However, never stop sharing the biblical truths,
even in the face of criticism or misundersting.
Do so with boldness but with discernment as well.
Always plant seeds and leave the rest to Yahweh our God-
even if it seems you stand alone or are misunderstood.
Do not argue or pursue quarrels over it, patiently plant seeds,
keep exposing and pray that Yahweh our God would open the eyes of
their understanding.
Accept that most of them remain blind.
Move on and warn others-
remembering you are serving Yeshua (Jesus) !!!!
Obey Yeshua (Jesus) rather than man
All the great people in the Bible without exemption attained to greatness
simply by faith.
They also obeyed Yahweh our God.
Let the faith of all these people encourage you to look unto Yeshua (Jesus),
the author and finisher of our faith.
Standing alone with Yeshua (Jesus) brings the most beautiful intimacy between you
and Yeshua (Jesus), regardless of the lack of understanding or acceptance of man.
Fellowship with Yeshua (Jesus) in His sufferings, and find the closest relationship
possible with Yeshua (Jesus).
Yeshua (Jesus) was despised and rejected of men.
So, blow the trumpet, warn others and expose evil is often a very lonely road,
but eternally worth it and the intimacy that will develop between you and Yeshua
(Jesus) is all that matters !!
Be holy, in Yeshua`s (Jesus`) name.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
Be strongly blessed in the name of Yeshua (Jesus) !!!!
