STAND ON THE WATCH

Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

Standing on the watch is a personal responsibility; everyone will have to answer for themselves; I can´t answer for you and you cannot answer for me, we all need to face our situation and speak for ourselves. That is exactly what Habakkuk was talking about; he said, i will stand he didn't say we will stand. In the parable of the widow and the unjust judge; she kept appearing before the unjust judge everyday until  he finally got tired and decided to answer her; she was keeping the watch by herself. Many are not ready to stand on the watch and give answer to God when they are reproved; they are not ready to be scolded; they get easily upset with God and that is why they have remained in the same situation for a very long time. Prayer is a warfare and it is also a dialogue between God and man. Warfare in the sense that someone is keeping what is rightly yours and you need to battle with him or her in order to take back what is yours. Remember the thief came to steal, to kill and to destroy (John 10:10); You can't dialogue with the devil, he does not understand that language the only language he understands is power. And the violent take it by force (Matthew 11:28). Prayer is a dialogue between you and God in the sense that you want Him to intervene on your behalf and to back you up in the battlefield; but He wants you to present your case to prove that you are worthy of His intervention. You also need to communicate with Him for battle strategy; So, there is going to be communication between you and God; that is why Habakkuk says that he is ready with his response and that he is ready to receive correction. The dialogue between Habakkuk and God is a typical example of supplication. He was very expectant because He knows that His God is not a dummy god.  

Isaiah 41:21 (Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob). You don't sit down in one place to answer this  kind of question, you need to get yourself up there in a tower where everyone will hear you. No matter how stubborn that issue is, he will hear you. God will not come down with your answers until you get yourself upon the tower; you need to make an effort to reach Him. Habakkuk eventually got his result. He sought and he found because it is only them who seek that found. When seeking God there is the right position to place yourself; and it is called divine positioning. Until you are divinely positioned it will never get to your turn. Until you put your eyes on the watch, it will never get to your time. Our God is a God of time and season but when your appointed time eventually comes and the book of remembrance is open in your favour would you be found at the right place? The Angel that brought good news to Marry met her where she was supposed to be; the Angel that brought news of Samson's birth to his mother met her where she was supposed to be and when her husband needed clarification they went to the same place to wait for the Angel. So, stop wondering around for a miracle to drop on you; position yourself well and stand on the watch. 

Luke 18:6 (And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?). 

If you are not tired of presenting your case He will not be tired of mobilizing the host of heaven to defend you in that case but the issue is that by the time your result is ready would you be there to receive it? because only those who put their faith in God will remain standing to receive their package. Daniel 10:8 (Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength). Daniel continued to wait for his answer alone even when there was no strength remaining in him and God was concerned because He had released his answer and then He sent Angel Michael to go and battle with the entity that hijacked his answer (Daniel 10:8-21). Friends, stop confusing the Angel that is carrying your file, stay in the right place and continue to be on the watch. There is one humorous statement I used to make, in the church I like to maintain a permanent seat and if not at least in the same row and whenever I am asked, I used to tell them that I don't want the Angel to start looking for me and thinking that I was not in the Church. It is funny, but I actually believe it. If you are not in a relationship with God there will be no need for dialogue and you cannot ask for His intervention. That is why He is giving you another opportunity today to enter into a relationship with Him by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name. 

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

NENE ISAH,
