What’s the one quality needed in a watchman? He has to be awake whilst everyone else is asleep. That’s his job. A watchman has to be awake for two primary reasons. Firstly, because we’ve an enemy. When a city is asleep, the watchmen must be awake, watching for every move the enemy makes, because the lives of the people are in their hands. It’s their job to warn those who are asleep of any impending danger. Secondly, because the Master of the House is returning soon and because He’s coming as a thief in the night, we must be awake, alert and ready when He comes. Prophetically, God is appointing watchmen at our walls. It might be you He’s calling.
