Day
Isaiah 62:6
On your walls , O Jerusalem , I have appointed watchmen ; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent . You who call on the LORD , take no rest .
God placed within his watchmen a desire to bring him the needs of others through prayer . He gave them courage to pray in faith even when the enemy ’ s advance seemed daunting . He called them to pray day and night . He commanded them to pray at all times and to give themselves no rest from interceding .
OMS intercessors are among the ranks of God ’ s missionary watchmen . God has placed a desire within our hearts to pray without ceasing ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17 ), both for those on the mission field and at home .
In Exodus 17 , Joshua led the Israelites to victory in battle . His strength came from the Lord through the prayers of Moses , as well as Aaron and Hur , who faithfully upheld Moses ’ arms and prayed .
Many are needed to uphold our “ Joshua missionaries ” in prayer as they go out for the Lord .
Is God calling you to join his missionary watchmen in prayer ?
