Holy Warning!

Ezk 33:1Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Ezk 33:2Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them, Whenever I bring the sword upon a land and the people of the land take a man from their midst and set him up as their watchman,
Ezk 33:3And when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people;
Ezk 33:4Then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and ignores the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
Ezk 33:5He heard the sound of the trumpet and ignored the warning; his own blood will be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Ezk 33:6But if the watchman sees the sword come and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned and the sword comes and takes someone away from them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.
Ezk 33:7It is you, O son of man, whom I have appointed as a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore when you hear the word from My mouth, give them warning from Me.
Ezk 33:8When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you will surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.
Ezk 33:9Yet if you warn the wicked man of his way to turn from it and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, and you have delivered your soul.

As a shepherd and as a brother, the Lord has appointed me to be His watchman over the saints He sovereignly placed under my care. Henceforth, it is my responsibility to oversee the saints and care for their all-inclusive well-being. Trusting the Lord, I exercise myself to be faithful to this holy assignment and will do my best to live up to the Lord's appointment by His wisdom and grace.

The past couple of weeks has been a great exercise for me to take heed of the Lord's flock under my care. One of the sisters under my care has secretly been in talk and meeting with a brother. When the matter came to my notice, not by anyone informing me, but by the Lord's discerning spirit within me, I took the matter to prayer and took the necessary step I need to take right away. 

I fellowshipped with the sister first, as the matter can be solved with her. I have done it five times already in a very serious manner. I felt it was my rightful responsibility to warn her of the trick of the enemy has been enticing her into. I could see clearly an attack from Satan on the church in general and my family in particular. Therefore, after much prayer and consideration, I had to warn the sister again and again as the brother belongs to another family which I do not have the liberty to touch yet. Every time I considered the matter, I strongly felt the enemy is subtly trying his best to attack the church and destroy the saints. The gates of Hades in the flesh and unrenewed mind must be dealt with thoroughly.

Last night, after much prayer and consideration, I felt the burden of fellowship with the sister again. I strongly warned her and released my burden concerning the need for her and the brother and the families involved to be preserved from the attack of the enemy. I literally begged her to pay heed to the parently and brotherly love fellowship I rendered to her. I even reasoned with her to wake up and come out of blindness and darkness to see things clearly and stay away from being the bait of the enemy. As I released my genuine burden from deep within with much concern and fellowship. As I did so, she began to weep and could not utter a word. She did agree to my intimate concern for her. I know she was emotionally stuck, but the Lord can heal her and deliver her completely. 

After the fellowship, I prayed for the Lord's cover grace and mercy that she be supplied with much life, an abundant life supply, to overcome the situation she is involved in. And I also prayed for all the other saints involved in this matter that the Lord would cover each one and would not allow the enemy to do anything to any of us. As I finished my prayer, she tried to pray and could not but burst into tears. Deep within I realized she had received the message I had spoken to her. I felt my burden was fully released and trust the Lord who spoke to also give us the grace to accomplish what was spoken. I also apologized if I had spoken too much to hurt her, as I did not mean it, but out of much care and concern I did so. I hope and trust that she understood my burden and will pay heed to it.

Later, I spent about half an hour continuing to pray for her and bind the enemy that binds the brother and sister involved. Then I read a book on the humanity of Christ and was inwardly confirmed that the Lord Jesus Christ had already crushed the serpent at his head. We, the church, the Body of Christ, also in oneness with Christ the Head, crushed the enemy's head subjectively to victory!  Now I have done what the Lord burdened me to do. I trust in the Lord and continue to follow up in prayer.

Today morning and after lunch, I was deeply burdened to pray for this matter again and released my burden to the Lord. Thus far, I have done my best to warn those who need to be warned. I exercised myself to be faithful in watching over the souls of the saints the Lord appointed me as a watchman. The Lord will do His work and the defeated enemy will be manifestly defeated over and over again!

Lord, make me a faithful watchman to sound out the holy warning on time and maintain the victory the Lord Jesus Christ had accomplished at the cross.
