Watchmen on the Wall

 


Day 13: Watchmen on the Wall

Theme Scripture

“I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent.”
Isaiah 62:6 (NKJV)


Exposition

Revival is sustained by prayer, and prayer is guarded by watchmen. Every move of God in history was born and maintained through intercession. When the fire of revival begins to burn, the enemy seeks to quench it with distraction, sin, or complacency. That is why God raises watchmen—men and women who will stand in the gap day and night until righteousness reigns again.

A watchman is not a casual believer. He is one who carries the burden of heaven in his spirit. His eyes are open, his ears are attentive, and his heart beats with the passion of the Father. He sees beyond the visible and discerns the spiritual condition of a people, crying out until change comes.

In ancient times, the watchmen stood on the city walls to warn of approaching danger. Spiritually, God has stationed believers as watchmen to intercede for families, churches, and nations. The world may be sleeping, but the watchman must stay awake.

Revival fades when prayer ceases. The fire on the altar must never go out (Leviticus 6:13). It must be kept alive through continual intercession. The Spirit of God is searching for those who will cry, “Spare Your people, O Lord!” (Joel 2:17).

When the Church takes her position as a watchman, the gates of darkness cannot prevail. Every great awakening begins with prayer and continues with watchfulness. The question is — will you take your place on the wall?
