Isaiah 62:6 KJV  “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,”

In the Bible, God speaks about sending watchmen to guide His people. A watchman is someone who watches over others, making sure they stay safe and follow God’s ways. These watchmen are like spiritual protectors, giving warnings when danger is near and encouraging people to stay on the right path.

Today, watchmen can be found in many places like churches, Christian communities, and even on social media.

What is a Watchman?

A watchman is someone God chooses to help protect His people. They are like a shepherd watching over their flock. They stay awake and keep an eye out for spiritual dangers. In the Bible, God said, “I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem” (Isaiah 62:6 KJV). This means that God appoints leaders to help us and guide us toward Him.

Jesus gave His disciples the role of watchmen by teaching them to spread the Gospel and guide others to the truth. When He sent out the disciples, He paired them in twos, giving them mutual support and making them watchmen over one another and the people they served (Luke 10:1 KJV).

They were to preach, heal, and warn people to repent and follow God. Jesus also instructed them to stay alert and pray, saying, “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation” (Matthew 26:41 KJV). This made them spiritual protectors, not only for themselves but for others.

 

Examples of Watchmen:

• Peter was a watchman after Jesus’ resurrection. He boldly preached at Pentecost and warned the people to repent and turn to God (Acts 2:38-40 KJV). He protected the early church by teaching and guiding them.
• Paul became a watchman for the Gentiles. He traveled far and wide, preaching the Gospel and warning against false teachers, reminding believers to stand firm in their faith (2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV).
• John the Baptist was a watchman before Jesus’ ministry. He called people to repentance and prepared the way for Jesus, warning them of the coming Messiah and the need for spiritual readiness (John 1:23 KJV).

These examples show how Jesus’ disciples and followers acted as watchmen, guiding others to the truth and protecting the faith through teaching, prayer, and warning against danger.

Where Can We Find Watchmen?

Watchmen are not only in churches. Today, you can find them in many Christian communities, online ministries, and even on social media. Pastors, church leaders, Christian influencers, and faithful believers act as watchmen. They give spiritual guidance, warn of false teachings, and encourage others to keep trusting in the Lord.

How to Recognize a Watchman?

A true watchman speaks God’s Word and lives according to His teachings. They teach us to tell the difference between what is holy and unholy (Ezekiel 44:23 KJV). They also care about the well-being of others, pointing out dangers that can pull us away from God. Jesus said we would know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16 KJV). This means to look for leaders who show love, kindness, and wisdom in their lives.

Listen and Follow God’s Watchmen

It’s important to listen to the watchmen and pastors God sends our way. These leaders help us stay close to God. They remind us of His promises and guide us through tough times. Whether you hear them in church, read their posts online, or join Christian groups, God’s watchmen are all around us. Look and listen to them because they are here to help protect and guide us.

Action Steps:

• Pray and ask God to help you find the right spiritual leaders.
• Stay connected to your church and Christian community.
• Be cautious of false teachings and seek out trustworthy watchmen.

By trusting in the watchmen and pastors God sends, you can grow closer to Him and stay on the right path.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask that You guide me to the right spiritual leaders and watchmen who will help me stay on the path of truth.

Please open my eyes to those who speak Your Word and live according to Your ways.
