Righteous Idol Worshipper

A Must Read.

This message has awoken me dearly and I think you need it too. I thought I should share as received.

The Righteous Idol Worshipper?

I wondered why I was in the queue of accused at all. I am intelligent, aggressive, young, totally committed to my God. What am I doing here with this sheet of supposed sins in my hand I wondered?

I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't fornicate, I don't steal, I am righteous. Others should be here not me.

It was finally my turn to face the Man.

I placed my sheet before Him, He glanced at it and sighed softly. He looked at me and calmly said "Guilty of Idol Worship.

Imagine my anger, my fury, my indignation, I jumped out of the chair and said 'Of course not! Check the sheet again, check the name, it can't be mine.

He sighed again and mentioned one of my names that no one knows.

I would not be stopped. It's impossible' I yelled. I worship only God, the Most High, Maker of heaven and earth, the King of kings and Lord of lords. I bow down to none, I have no talisman, no amulet, no pot underneath my bed.

'You are guilty of idol worship' he repeated calmly.

He looked at me, I looked at Him. It seemed like forever.  The room was silent I could hear the clock ticking.

How to Stand Guard as a Christian

From the previous post, we are continuing with our series on the “Watchman”. Let us look at what we should do as watchmen. As watchman in our homes we are encouraged to:

To hear from God

Fine tuning ones' spiritual insight is birth through a disciplined, daily communion with our Father in heaven motivated by genuine love for him. If you truly love the Lord, your ears will be set against his heart and his heartbeat will leave impressions in your spirit. He, who has ears, let him hear what the spirit of the Lord has to say. You will only know the voice of the shepherd if you spend time in the presence of the shepherd. You cannot instruct if you have no instruction. Every family member holds the keys to kingdom living by being hearers and doers of God's word. The throne room of God is accessible that we may enter boldly and confidently. Entering into the secret place of the most high is not only for us but also for those innocent lives we are entrusted with. Once we hear the voice of God, we are certain of his promises and confident of his decree.

To warn our families

Nobody wants to warn another. It's always easier to be bearers of good news rather than correction. Yet the latter leads many to the narrow path of salvation and eternal life. The itchy ear syndrome wants soothing words and pats on the back. The truth brings freedom and liberty. A warning is a lifeline for those who need it. Be steadfast and immovable because a word seasoned with the Holy Spirit brings forth a fountain of new life in Christ. Do not allow the weapon of fear to hold your words captive. After you have heard of the Lord, release the warning that will alter lives and bring it into alignment with God's plan and purposes.

Whenever the trumpet of warning is sounded, repentance follows and restoration begins. Damaged walls are rebuilt and the latter glory will be greater than the former. When the prophets and watchmen of the kingdom remain in silence, darkness prevails. Release the word that you have and the Shekinah glory of God will manifest and hover over lives. God's word will never return void. It accomplishes that which it is sent out to do.
"But I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood." (Ezekiel 33 vs 6)

Before God set Ezekiel as a watchman, he gave him accountability of the peoples' blood. You are your family's keeper. As a watchman, you will be held accountable for not correcting and altering the lives of your family that are perishing in these perilous times. Silence is not an option for you. Staying quiet will be detrimental to yourself and those reaching a Christ-less eternity. By your words you will be judged and by your words you will be acquitted. If you warn them and they do not listen, their blood is not on your hands. If you know the truth and leave them to die in their sin, you will give an account of their demise in sin.

Son of man - prophesy that the way of the Lord is now.
