Ezekiel WAS GIVEN A VERY BIG RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE LORD
BEING THE LORD’S WATCHMAN
Am really getting to think that the responsibility God has given us of winning soul’s is bigger than what we can anticipate.
- Many people have not yet accepted Christ Jesus
- Many have not yet been baptised
- Many are still in the world
Just like you were given a responsibility from the Lord that you have to carry out also Ezekiel was given a responsibility by the Lord which was in the view that he should be a watchman over the house of Israel . This didn’t necessarily mean being a watchman of the night like watching over whether thieves will come or will not come but warning people concerning that which God wanted them to do in like manner of regard Ezekiel 3:17 [17]Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at My mouth and give them warning from Me. [Isa. 52:8; 56:10; 62:6; Jer. 6:17.]
God told Him that as a watchman over the house of Israel, If at all He hears a word from the mouth of the Lord. He should give the people a warning in view to what The Lord would have said to Ezekiel . So as a watchman over your family, your city and nation you must first heed to that which the Lord is speaking and after hearing what the Lord is speaking then you are to warn the people that the Lord has sent you to warn
Reflective questions about the teaching
a) What responsibility as realised upon to context did The Lord give to Ezekiel?
b) As a watchman over the house of Israel what was He expected to do and what was He expected not to do?.
c) Has The Lord made you a watchman over your society..?
d) What is the applicability of this teaching as related on in view to our day to day life
e) What would be some of the lessons that you learn in view to our teaching
f) What is that which is bigger than what we can anticipate?
g) Have you been preaching the gospel?
h) What would be an impact to the kingdom of the Lord if we attend to the divine mandate of preaching the gospel?
Confession prayer
Dear Lord Jesus am grateful that you have indeed made me a watch man over my family, my city and my country in Jesus name Amen
