[Tales By Gospelcaster] Who Will Mount The Watchtower?



STORYLINE;

On Tuesday, 18th December, 2018 at about 1am someone scaled through the fence of my house and I guess having surveyed the house through the windows discovered that in my room was my phone charging via a wall socket.

True to form the person took it from the window since all the doors were locked. I was praying at that time in the sitting room and when I journeyed back to my room after I was done praying I discovered what had just taken place.

The loss of the phone wasn't my pain. It was the impression I captured from within me which goes thus "How many things have you lost due to your spiritual insentivity and inability to watch?". Morning came and I was still pondering over the question and by evening I received a news of the death of a child. 

I began praying for the child some days back and after praying for just two days I stopped praying for no reason. 

The news of the child's death told me what I had lost due to my insentivity and low perception range in the Spirit(It was a dear loss).

I began praying that evening and I recalled how that Habakkuk 2:1 had been on my mind for days. I had read the scripture countless number of times from around 14th December till 18th December.

I never knew it was the Spirit's call moving me to mount the watchtower. I prayed extensively with bitterness over the loss I had just recorded and this question came up " WHO WILL MOUNT THE WATCHTOWER?".


LESSON/EMPHASIS;

God has placed you in that family and community as a spiritual watchman. 

The duty of a spiritual watchman is vast but it can be narrowed down to one purpose; knowing God's counsel for a territory and protecting the territory from satanic attacks.

It is your duty like Habakkuk to stand on your watch. Notice that Habakkuk didn't say he would stand on the watch. He said; I will stand on "my watch". Whether you come to terms with this or not you have got a watch to stand on.

Sadly, we do not realise this and the devil makes good use of our ignorance and perpetrates great ills.

Nigeria, your community, your family, your life is where it is today because the watch has being left vacant. Until the watch is mounted on there would be no significant progress recorded.

The devil can be stopped. Death can be stayed. Only if we mount the watchtower. The devil is not as powerful as we think he is. Our inability to stand on our watch has made the devil seem so powerful.

Would you mount the watchtower? Would you be there when God needs someone? Would you stand on your watch and position yourself on the ramparts?

Do not let the devil cheat you any longer. Do not allow him carryout his agenda of stealing, killing and destroying. Mount the watch.

But then, how do we mount the watchtower?

It is simple.

Pray! Pray!! Pray!!!

Prayer is the system by which we watch. It is only through prayers that we can entrench the will and purposes of God in our nation, community, family and life.

By prayers we can stop the advancement of the devil. We can hinder death from its operation when we yield to prayers.

Prayers is key. Prayers is potent.
Mount the watchtower by yielding to consistent, fervent prayers!
