Exposition
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem – God has called His servants to be on watch duty over the Church and the people. They are called to watch and pray for the government and the nation state too. As an adult man or woman, it is your responsibility to watch for your family too.
The watchman is meant to be on the lookout for the enemy approaching the city gates and informing the soldiers of what is about to happen. It is safe to assume that many know that our adversary, the devil goes about seeking whom to devour. Therefore there is an urgent need for you to be diligent and courageous in your watchman duties. Today the adversary uses new methods in trying to breach your defenses, so it is imperative that you wake up and stand firm, refusing to be mincemeat for it to swallow.
Take a moment to understand that the scripture says, ‘I have set’. God has set means He has empowered you and you have all it takes as you depend on Him to help you in your duties.
which shall never hold their peace day nor night, ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, and give him no rest, - The watch man is on duty all the time. 1 Thessalonians 5: 17 tell us to pray without ceasing. Luke 18: 1b says that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Persistence is required by you. This means you are meant to sleep with one eye open. The watch man is ever ready; the scriptures are a part and parcel of your being. You know your rights as a child of God and you are enforcing the victory that Christ gave to you on the cross of cavalry.
till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth – You are to continue to pray until your prayers are answered. After all the Bible says you should continue to ask until your joy is full. You are being encouraged to continue in prayer until such a time that the Church and its members become famous, a time when the outsider will indeed see you and declare that you are blessed by God. In answer to your prayers, there will be an increase in the House of God on every side, there will be unity and the love of Christ will wax strong.
Prayer
Help me to walk in the available grace to watch on behalf of the Church and my family. Grant me the required resilience I need as a watch man. Help me to tarry in the place of prayer. Open my eyes to all the tools for victory at all times. Help me to desire a deeper relationship with You. Let my voice be respected in heaven at all times. I ask for speedy answers to all my prayers in Jesus name. I pray that I will always have a reason to praise You every day of my life in Jesus name. Amen.
