6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, he is taken away in and for his perversity and iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
As I was walking and talking to the Lord yesterday. The Lord brought this subject to my attention and this verse sums it up. This question I ask myself. How many opportunities do we give up to share the gospel?. I know over the course of a year, it must be in the hundreds or even thousands. We stand at the check out at the grocery store/supermarket and we talk about sports, news easily and wont open our mouths for the Lord.
This great chapter, Ezekiel 33 talks about watchmen, we are watchmen. We have been given the responsibility of sharing the gospel, with people.
It says in Romans 10
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
We are to be warning people of the dangers of hell and sin, if we do not then God will ask Why, what would be my/your excuse?
The Great missionary CT Studd once said "Some people want to be born within the sound of church or chapel bell, I want to have a mission post, within a yard of Hell".
Have a wonderful weekend everyone
