 I. The Importance of Divine Oversight

 A. The Role of God as the Ultimate Watcher

- Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

- Psalm 127:1 (NKJV): "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain."

- Highlight that without God’s oversight and guidance, human efforts are futile.

 B. The Danger of Vain Watchfulness

- Discuss the phenomenon of prayer gatherings that lack substance and power.

- Warning against the form of godliness without the true power of God.

 II. The Call to Be a Watchman

 A. God’s Calling of Watchmen

- Emphasize that true watchmen are called by God.

- Ezekiel 3:17-19 (NKJV): "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me."

- Watchmen must hear God’s word and communicate it faithfully.

 B. The Role of the Intercessor

- The pride often found among those who proclaim to be intercessors.

 III. The Nature of Warning

 A. The Duty to Warn the Wicked

- The responsibility of watchmen to warn others about sin and its consequences.

- Ezekiel 3:18 (NKJV): "When I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning..."

- The importance of being a light in darkness rather than merely confronting sin.

 B. The Light of the Watchman

- Every watchman is a light bearer, called to illuminate dark places.

- Matthew 5:14 (NKJV): "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."

- Encourage the audience to show their light through righteous living.

 IV. The Burden of Intercession

 A. The Reality of Suffering

- Address the misconception that Christianity is free from suffering.

- True intercession often involves identifying with the struggles and pain of others.

- The importance of enduring hardship for the sake of the Gospel.

- Romans 8:17 (NKJV): "And if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together."

 V. The Responsibility of the Watchman

 A. The Burden of Truth

- The call to preach the whole counsel of God, including hard truths.

- Warning against the sensational gospel that neglects the need for repentance and truth.

- 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV): "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth."  

 B. The Call to Return

Part #4 The Call to Suffering and Reigning

 

  Part #4  The Call to Suffering and Reigning

 Introduction

As we delve into this segment of our study, it is crucial to understand that the condition to reign is suffering. The scriptures remind us that if we endure suffering, we will also reign with Christ. This paradox invites us to reflect on our spiritual journey amidst the challenges we face in our lives and ministries.

 The Cost of Reigning

 The Reality of Suffering

The message of suffering is often overshadowed by the allure of prosperity and comfort preached in many churches today. In 2 Timothy 2:12 (NKJV), we read, "If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us." This scripture underscores the necessity of suffering as an integral part of our faith journey.

 The Sensational Gospel

Today, many churches, particularly in America and England, focus on a sensational gospel that captivates the audience with promises of material wealth and success, leading souls astray. This approach often neglects the truth of the Gospel, which calls us to a deeper relationship with Christ, one that may involve trials and tribulations.

The Role of Intercessors

 The Call to Return

The role of intercessors has never been more critical. We are called to return to the foundational truths of the Gospel. Jeremiah 6:17 (NKJV) states, "Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’" This verse highlights the importance of discerning the distinct sounds that come from the trumpet—a metaphor for the messages from God.

 Distinct Sounds of the Intercessor

Intercessors have a unique calling to pay attention to God's distinct sounds. The various sounds signify different seasons and feasts in God’s plan, and it is essential for intercessors to be attuned to these divine signals. We must not confuse the sounds of revival with the expectations shaped by previous generations. God is raising a new sound for this age—one that may not resemble the past revivals we have come to expect.

 The Need for Discernment

 Recognizing the New Sound

As we await a new revival, it is vital to recognize that God may not manifest this revival through familiar voices or platforms. The revival may come from unexpected sources, perhaps from those who do not have the recognition or status we often associate with divine authority. 

 The Watchmen’s Responsibility

The call for watchmen is clear: rise and discern the signs of the times. We must be vigilant and attentive, as Isaiah 56:10 (NKJV) warns, "His watchmen are blind; they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs; they cannot bark." This scripture serves as a caution against complacency and ignorance in our spiritual watch.

 The Call to Action

 A Clarion Call

The trumpet is sounding, signaling a clarion call to alignment and action. We must rise to our posts and fulfill our responsibilities as watchmen. As we engage in prayer, we must ask the Lord to give us eyes to see and ears to hear the movements of His Spirit in our nation.

 The Prayer of the Watchmen

As we conclude this segment, let us offer a collective prayer: "Lord, give us the eyes to see the move of God in our nation. Help us discern the sound you are releasing into the earth. May we stand firm in truth and proclaim your word boldly."

 Conclusion

The journey of reigning with Christ is intertwined with the reality of suffering. It is a path that requires discernment, vigilance, and an unwavering commitment to the truth of the Gospel. As we prepare for the next session, may we reflect on our roles as watchmen and intercessors, ready to respond to the distinct sound of God’s call in our lives.

Pt#2 The Nature of Intercession and Stewardship

 

Pt#2 The Nature of Intercession and Stewardship

 Introduction

- Recap the importance of intercession and the roles of watchers and gatekeepers.

- Emphasize that true intercession requires humility and a willingness to come down to the level of those we are praying for.

 I. The Example of Jesus as the Ultimate Intercessor

 A. Jesus’ Approach to Lazarus

- Jesus demonstrated humility by coming down to the level of death to call Lazarus out.

John 11:43 (NKJV): "Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!'"

  - Jesus did not call Lazarus from a position of superiority but as a man, identifying with our human condition.

 B. The Necessity of Identification

- Intercession requires an understanding and identification with those we pray for; it cannot be done from a distance.

- Every intercessor must be willing to embrace the struggles and pain of others.

 II. The Role of the Gatekeeper

 A. Definition and Function

- A gatekeeper is an intercessor who speaks out and guards the spiritual gates of the community.

- It is vital to know one's role, whether as a watchman or gatekeeper.

 B. Scriptural Basis

- Isaiah 62:6 (NKJV): "I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night."

  - This emphasizes the vigilance required of gatekeepers in spiritual matters.

 III. The Importance of Watching and Stewarding

 A. The First Job Description

- The first calling of man was to watch and steward the creation.

Genesis 2:15 (NKJV): "Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it."

  - This highlights the responsibility given to humanity to care for God's creation.

 B. Understanding the Garden

- The garden represents the kingdom of God—an enclosure where stewardship occurs.

- The role of stewardship is not just about physical care but also about spiritual oversight.

 IV. The Call to Intercede with Authority

A. Command and Responsibility

- God commanded Adam to protect the garden, establishing a clear role for intercessors.

- Genesis 2:16-17 (NKJV): "And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.'"

  - Adam’s role was to protect the garden and uphold God's commands.

 B. The Consequences of Negligence

- Failure to intercede and fulfill one’s role can lead to dire consequences.

- The church must engage in proper intercession to avoid spiritual decay and death.

 V. The Community of Intercessors

 A. Recognizing Diverse Gifts

- Every member of the body has a role; not everyone is called to be a pastor or counselor.

- It is essential to recognize the unique gifts and callings within the community.

 B. Encouragement to Seek Professional Help

- Pastors are not always equipped to solve every problem; the body of Christ should support one another.

- Seek expertise in areas like marriage counseling or financial advice when needed, acknowledging the gifts of others.

 VI. Conclusion

- Recap the importance of humility in intercession and the need to identify with those we serve.

- Encourage the congregation to embrace their roles as watchers, gatekeepers, and intercessors, understanding the weight and responsibility of their calling.

Pt#1The Call of the Watchers and Gatekeepers

 

 

Pt#1 The Call of the Watchers and Gatekeepers

 Introduction

- Begin with the message from the Lord: “I haven’t called you a prophet of your nation. I have called you a prophet of the nations.” 

- Emphasize the urgency of releasing God's counsel to the nations without apology.

- State the focus of the sermon: understanding the roles of Watchers and Gatekeepers within the church.

 I. The Role of Watchers

 A. Definition and Purpose

- Watchers are spiritual sentinels who are called to observe and intercede.

- They stand guard over the spiritual landscape, discerning the times and seasons.

 B. Scriptural Basis

Ezekiel 3:17 (NKJV): "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me."

  - This verse emphasizes the responsibility placed on Watchers to communicate God’s warnings.

 C. Relationship in Intercession

- Distinguish between praying warriors and intercessors. 

- Every intercessor is a praying warrior, but not every praying warrior is an intercessor. 

  - Intercession requires intimacy and relationship with God and those being prayed for.

 II. The Nature of Gatekeepers

 A. Definition and Purpose

- Gatekeepers are appointed to guard the spiritual gates of the church, ensuring that only what is holy and ordained by God enters.

- They play a crucial role in maintaining spiritual integrity.

 B. Scriptural Basis

Psalm 84:10 (NKJV): "For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness."

  - This highlights the honor and importance of being a gatekeeper in God’s house.

 III. The Importance of Intimacy in Intercession

 A. The Example of Mary and Martha

- Discuss the story of Mary and Martha in John 11, focusing on their relationship with Jesus.

John 11:21-22 (NKJV): "Now Martha said to Jesus, 'Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.'"

  - Martha’s faith is evident, yet they both express their grief.

 B. The Nature of Mourning and Intercession

- Explore how mourning was expressed in biblical times and how it parallels today's culture of hiring intercessors.

- Emphasize that true intercession goes beyond hiring someone to pray; it involves personal relationship and deep empathy.

 IV. The Challenge of Effective Prayer

 A. Understanding True Prayer

- Address misconceptions about prayer being loud or charismatic.

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV): "Be still, and know that I am God."

  - Silence and contemplation can be powerful aspects of effective prayer.

 B. The Fruitfulness of Prayer

- Use the analogy of the fig tree (Mark 11:12-14) to illustrate the importance of bearing fruit in our spiritual lives.

Mark 11:13 (NKJV): "And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs."

  - The tree appeared busy but was unfruitful, warning against the busy yet ineffective practices in church.

 V. The Groaning of the Spirit

 A. The Depth of Intercession

- Discuss the deeper levels of intercession illustrated by Jesus' groaning in John 11:35-38.

John 11:35-38 (NKJV): "Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, 'See how He loved him!' And some of them said, 'Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?' Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb."  

 B. The Call to Action

- As intercessors, we must understand the weight of our role and the necessity of genuine relationship with God.

- Encourage the congregation to seek intimacy with God to be effective in their intercession.

 Conclusion

- Reinforce the call to be Watchers and Gatekeepers in today’s world.

- Invite the congregation to commit to a deeper relationship with God and to actively engage in intercession for their communities and nations.
