Those who stay alert and pull guard duty are called “watchmen.” God has called you as that very watchman. Then, what must you see and guard?
1. At the Place of the Summit, Possess the Summit Mindset
Those who constantly receive help from others will find it difficult to reciprocate that help. In fact, help doesn’t necessarily mean providing financial aid. It’s the attitude of your heart that’s truly important. By enjoying the true peace that’s found in the Gospel, you’ll be able to see what God will accomplish. In doing so, you’ll will live with conviction and confidence.
2. Prepare Your Vessel
All day long, God is with His children; leads them; and answers their prayers. If you know and believe in this fact, you, too, will think about God all day long and be connected to Him through prayer. God also wants His children to open up a great path for His plans come true and to raise a banner for many people to come before the Gospel.
When you know your God-given mission and prepare your vessel, God, who has called you as a watchman, will strengthen you.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, as the watchman to save this age, help me to see through the eyes of the Gospel regarding everything that happens to me and everyone I meet. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Does It Mean to See through the Eyes of the Gospel?
Living in this world, you need to work efficiently; have rational thoughts; possess common sense; and retain logic. However, there are certain problems that cannot be solved by reason and rationality. Furthermore, there’s no way to fill the spiritual voids that you face or find relief from the anxieties and fears that enter your mind.
This is true whether you’re rich or poor or whether you possess knowledge or not. In the end, you must be able to see all people and situations through a filter called the “fundamental problem” that can only be solved through the Gospel.
