*THE WORK OF THE WATCHERS*
_Key Bible Text:_
*“Jerusalem, on your walls I have stationed guards, whose duty it is to speak out day and night, without resting. They must remind the LORD and not let him rest till he makes Jerusalem strong and famous everywhere."* (Isaiah 62:6-7 (CEV))
_Bible Insight:_
As a watcher, your immediate place of assignment is your Jerusalem. You must identify with your Jerusalem. It is important that you do not neglect your Jerusalem.
Your Jerusalem is easy to identify. It is where you must wield influence positively. God must begin to use you at some level where you are primarily based or among the group you are involved in. This could be your home/family and neighborhood. This is the first level where you must wield your influence.
The next Jerusalem is your workplace. Whether it's an office or a shop, where you sell your wares, God expects a positive vibe to be yielded and generated from you.
The next Jerusalem is your local place of worship, either local church or fellowship. You can't afford to worship in a place like you do not there. *How do you contribute to make your place of worship stronger and famous?* What of that group, ministry, unit or department you have willingly identified with? Are you making it a better group, ministry or department/unit?
Yet another Jerusalem, is your local state of residence. God expect your light to shine in this Jerusalem as well. Another Jerusalem is your state of origin. Whether you reside there or not, you should be concerned about it. Yet another Jerusalem is your country. If you are a Nigerian, you're one for a purpose, whether you reside in diaspora or not.
God has an assignment for you in your Jerusalem. At each of these levels, God has placed you in that Jerusalem to make a positive difference.
How are you positively impacting your Jerusalem?
_MEDITATION:_
*“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth."* (Isaiah 62:6-7 (KJV))

*PEOPLE & UNITY* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."* (1 Corinthians 1:11-13 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
You and I don’t have to manufacture unity in the church because it’s
already there. We’re all one in Christ (Gal. 3:28), and the spiritual oneness
of the body is a miracle of God’s grace (Eph. 4:1–6). No, we don’t have to
manufacture unity; but we do have the obligation to maintain the unity that
Jesus died to create—“endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace†(Eph. 4:3). So important is the unity of His people that Jesus
prayed about it before He went to the cross ( John 17:22–24)
If among God’s people there’s a difference over fundamental Bible
doctrine, “the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints†( Jude 3),
there can be no room for compromise. But let’s be sure it’s fundamental
doctrine and not some secondary matter that somebody has blown out of
proportion. For centuries, good and godly people have disagreed over the interpretations of certain Scriptures and have agreed to disagree without
being disagreeable. *“In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all
things, charity.â€* Augustine said that, and he’s right.
That third statement from Augustine is especially important: “In all
things, charity.†Even when we defend the faith, we must behave like
Christians: *“And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all,
able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if
God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truthâ€*
(2 Tim. 2:24–25). If they don’t repent, they’re the ones who have broken
the unity and left the fellowship (1 John 2:18–23). False doctrines cause
divisions, and false teachers must be warned and avoided (Rom. 16:17–20).
_MEDITATION:_
*“But it’s been my experience that very few ministries divide over doctrine.
Most differences among Christians center on personalities, methods of
ministry, allocation of funds, and other noteworthy but nondoctrinal
matters. Let a church receive a large bequest from a will, and the potential
for division is astronomical. The trustees want to use the money to pave the
parking lot. The Missions Committee wants to send it to the fields. The
women want to renovate the kitchen, and the young people want to build a gym. Not only is loving money a root of all kinds of evil, but spending it
can produce a good deal of evil."*

*PEOPLE & UNITY*
_Key Bible Text:_
*“For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"* (1 Corinthians 1:11-13 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
When our older daughter was a child in grade school, one day she came
storming into the house, slammed the door, stomped into her room, slammed that door, all the while muttering under her breath, “People—
people!—PEOPLE!â€
Thinking I might be of some help, I tapped on the door and asked, “May
I come in?â€
The answer was an explosive “No!â€
“Why?†I asked.
“Because you’re a people!â€
Even children have their problems with people. One thing’s for sure:
believers who try to serve the Lord can expect to have problems with
people—and maybe people will have problems with them!
Moses had problems with people, so much so that one day he asked God
to take his life because he’d had enough (Numbers 11). Sometimes the
people you help the most appreciate it the least. Jesus healed ten lepers, and
only one of them—a foreigner—came back to thank Him (Luke 17:11–19).
When Paul was a prisoner in Rome, some of the Roman Christians, instead
of encouraging the apostle, tried to make things more difficult for him (Phil.
1:12–21). Paul took the loving approach and thanked God that at least they
were preaching the gospel.
Ambrose Bierce wrote, “There are two classes of people: the righteous
and the unrighteous. The classifying is done by the righteous.†His satirical
pen makes a significant point: sometimes we create problems with people because we adopt a “we/they†attitude. Everybody in the church (or Bible
class or choir or youth group) is either for us or against us.
_MEDITATION:_
*“Most people think of a heretic only as somebody who teaches false
doctrine. But the word translated “heresy†in the New Testament comes
from a Greek word that means “to choose.†It describes an office seeker campaigning for votes and asking everybody, “Are you for me or against
me?†There’s a willfulness about this attitude that often causes bad feelings
and might produce division. If we take the “we/they†approach, we may become heretics; and instead of solving the problem, we will only make it
worse."*

*COMMISSIONED*
_Key Bible Text:_
*“Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things."* (Luke 24:45-48 (KJV) )
_Bible Insight:_
Did you ever feel that preaching the Gospel is only a pastor or an evangelist’s job?
It is beautiful that God chooses to partner with each and every one of us who knows of Him as a savior.
While we feel the need to evangelize, many often save it for those rare opportunities. However, it is important to recognize that we are on a mission wherever God has placed us and we need to look for opportunities and create them; not just wait. A change in perspective to know that your identity is first in Christ will drive you for His mission.
Jesus operated in the power of the Holy Spirit all through his ministry; He gave us access to the same power through faith, that we could share in His mission.
In John 13:15, this is indicative that Jesus set an example for us to follow Him in His mission before commissioning us to do the same.
*Our God is a missionary God, He always sends and restores. The Holy Spirit is a Missionary Spirit, empowering us to fulfill our calling, and Jesus was a missionary in action, He first set an example for everything He eventually commanded us to do as well.*
_MEDITATION:_
*“Someone asked Will the heathen who have never heard the Gospel be saved? It is more a question with me whether we (who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not) can be saved."* — Charles Spurgeon
