Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors (Առակներ 8:34)
Երբ դու, as son of God, listen to Jesus and obey Him, you shall be blessed. He wants you to listen and take His words, and become a doer of the Word.
Watch daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors
You shall watch daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors. What does this mean? Well, first of all, it means, that you have to keep yourself, and lead a disciplined life. Jesus lives in you, and He wants you to watch the spiritual gates of your life. Այնպես, որ, your spirit man, won’t be defiled by evil. Հետեւաբար, you should be careful with what you look at and what you listen to and with what things you fill your mind. You have to guard your mind, and guard your life.
You have been made holy and righteous in Jesus Christ. Now, it’s your job to live holy and righteous. To live holy and righteous means, that you do His will. That you will walk in His Word, and keep walking after the Spirit, and turn away from evil.
Secondly, He wants the believers to keep His body; the Church undefiled. He wants us to watch at the gates of His Church, and prevent evil coming into the Church, through worldly philosophies and doctrines of man, that will lead believers in bondage and darkness. He wants us to keep His body pure and holy, because He is holy.
Therefore we ought to guard His Word, and keep preaching Jesus, the cross, and the blood of Jesus. We must watch at the gate, so that His body won’t be polluted with the world. Because the world is enmity against God.
The Church could be the most powerful organisation in this world, but many believers are asleep, and don’t want to wake up. They keep their eyes closed for the hazards. But it’s time to wake up and arise, and do what the Word has commanded us to do.
Let’s become active and watchful, and take our position in Jesus Christ. Let us put of all the filthiness of the world, and clean up the mess we have made, so that our spiritual body and the Body of Jesus Christ become and stay holy and righteous.
Let us watch at His gates, and wait at the posts of His doors.
