How to Stand Watch to Protect Our Families

Today we are going to study on the Christian as a “Watchman” and how relevant it is to our families and the community around.  

"I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me." (Ezekiel 33:7)

Who is a Watchman?

A watchman is one who stands guard and keeps watch. However the mandate over Ezekiel's life was more than just watching for the enemy and warning Israel. The anointing of the watchman releases a prophetic gift. Ezekiel was called by God to listen, to speak, to warn and to accept accountability.  

Watchman over our own lives

We are watchmen over our own lives. We are responsible to guard ourselves that we may stay true to righteousness. The path of righteousness is the way of holiness. Holiness instructs us in accordance to God's word and reveals the correct path to journey on. It protects us from sin and it forms a hedge around us that prevents the enemy from devouring us. To deter from this highway will lead to destruction of one's destiny in Christ.

Watchman over our Families

We are watchmen over our families. It is vital for us to guard our homes and families before we establish ourselves as watchman over God's people. In our home we do not only watch for the enemy, we protect, we instruct, we care and we do not let evil penetrate within the borders. We have a prophetic utterance that looses the winds that brings heaven's change. Establish a post with total surrender and this stand will catapult your family into a fulfilled life in Christ.
