“Become A Dutiful Watchman”
Key Verse
“So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me” (Ezekiel 33:7).
Text —Ezekiel 33:4-9
Message
A watchman is a security guard. He helps to ensure the safety of a building or an environment. The story of Rick Rescorla is a good example of a dutiful watchman. He was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the World Trade Center’s South Tower. He was said to have regularly conducted escape drills with employees which they heeded, thereby saving their lives during the 9/11 attacks in New York. He equally led people down the stairs to safety. It is believed that his being dutiful saved the lives of more than 2,500 employees. He was not only proactive by drilling the employees before the terrible event, he also risked his life to guide many people out to safety.
By our text of today, beloved, you are set a watchman. Wherever you are is your duty post until you receive a call to duty elsewhere. Barnabas and Saul were busy with the brethren in the church in Antioch before the Holy Ghost called them to missionary work (Acts 13:1-3). Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work. Pray as led.
