Watchman’s Adventure: One night journey from Lamentations to Revelation!
After midnight, while in a hotel room, the watchman could not sleep so
he got up and read the Bible. He was led to read the following passages.
It was like he was led through the whole salvation plan. He started
from Lamentations wherein the poet prophet mourned the sad state of his
nation and cried to God for help as he still had hope in the Lord’s
mercy and grace (undeserved favor). Then he was led to read Mark on the
full passage towards the end of Jesus’ ministry on earth: the
humiliation He went …
The
watchman never realized that this blog would come to the forefront of
his memory and would be just the right message today. During the past
few days he went from one chamber of his life into another chamber. A
brother passed on to be with the Lord. After an absence of over fifty
years, the brother came back and now he left for eternity after just
fifteen months of reunion. During the short and last phase of his life
he reconciled with the Father in heaven, his own siblings and their
children. He even gained a big family of brethren in a farm home living
his last journey on earth before the Lord, reading and meditating the
word of God day and night, learning to worship the Lord in Spirit and in
Truth.
Miraculously, his gift in cooking (which had previously been totally
robbed and destroyed by the devil through alcohol intoxication) was
restored to him. He became a well respected and honored elderly in the
home of old and young, men and women. Even more stunning to all who knew
him before, from a man who could hardly read a few words, he had
learned to read and write well by reading the Bible (completing the
whole New Testament and some parts of Old Testament) and copying notes.
He even memorized Key Verses. The blood of the Lamb of God (Jesus) had
washed away his sins, and the word of God had cleansed and transformed
him in and out. In addition to ridding off all his addictive habits, his
common burst of anger was healed. A big group of brethren in Christ led
the wake service for him and many shed tears for him (and for
themselves when they recalled the journey they all went through). One
message is clear: the Father in heaven does not give up on His sons.
On the last day of his life on earth he led worship and Bible reading. He passed away peacefully while resting after the daily morning worship service on 3rd March 2012. He was 59 years and ten months old. He did not suffer any major illness in the home. He just had his medical check up a month ago and was given clean bill of health. He was completely divinely healed and well. Three days previously he re-dedicated his life to the Lord for His use, kneeling down and the pastor of the home blessed him. He finished the race on earth well after a life of being a prodigal son. The Father in heaven accepted him into His bosom.
During the worship he picked his favorite eight worship songs. According to his brethren in the home all were positive Kingdom of God songs, praising God and focusing on God’s greatness and glory. The watchman believed that he had joined the heavenly choir and happily singing and worshiping the Almighty God day and night now…
A favorite verse and song of the late brother of the watchman is from Job:

A favorite verse and song of the late brother of the watchman is from Job:
Job 42:5 (NKJV)
5 “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You. “
(In a recent prayer with his class, the watchman suddenly prayed they would be like Enoch, walking with the Lord, and one day the Lord would decide to take them to His home, as they were nearer to His home than to their own homes on earth! )
