FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
ARE WE GOD’S ALERT AND COURAGEOUS WATCHMEN AND SOLDIERS?
“Son of man, I have made you watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and given them warning from Me.” Eze. 3:17, 18-21; cf. 33:1-20. The gospel-prophet declares of the unfaithful “watchmen.”: “His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs that will not bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yes, they are greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are SHEPHERDS who cannot understand; they all look their own way, everyone for his own gain, from his own territory.” Isa. 56:10,11,NKJV.
These no doubt refers to the “prosperity gospel” minister/pastors who are nowhere to be found with their “prosperity” during this terrible time of adversity. I fear for my soul and yours too, if I fail or refuse, for whatever reason or excuse, to hold back the testing truths and warnings for this very time! And so here are more of God’s warnings, not to cause more fear or discouragement but to encourage and challenge all to put on the whole armor of God and be ready “to fight the battles of the Lord where champions are few.”
