TOPIC: BE A WISE WATCHMAN
TEXT: EZEKIEL 3:16-18
Key Verse: "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me" (Ezekiel 3:17).
A story was told of a Christian girl whose name was Esther. She gained admission into a boarding school. On getting to the school, she started sharing the word of God with zeal.
One day, a boy named Tom approached her, he wanted to be her boyfriend. She prayed in the Spirit and told the boy that he must be born again. Tom smiled and went to the hostel.
On getting to the hostel, he heard another voice telling him to be born again. As he went to the toilet, he still heard the same voice. He went to the dining and from there to his bedroom to sleep.
As he moved around, he kept on hearing the same voice, *"You must be born again."* He decided to see his pastor the following day. He told him how the girl he wanted to befriend rather advised him to become born again.
His pastor preached to him and told him to repent and accept Jesus as his Saviour and Lord. Tom did and that was how he became saved from his sins. Praise the Lord! You must watch over the souls of sinners so that they will not miss heaven.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to be a wise watchman.
