Day Four – Strengthen Your Personal Walls

Men are to be the walls of protection around those God has placed in their lives. What’s interesting about Ziklag is when the men let their guards down by leaving the city unprotected, their wives, sons, and daughters could not defend themselves against the evil onslaught. Otherwise they would never have been taken captive. Ponder that for a moment. When men let their guards down, the wives, sons, and daughters are left unprotected. That’s because men are called to be the gatekeepers. It’s the way God set it up (Eze. 22:30).

God is looking for men who will be a wall, who will stand in the gap and be gatekeepers. Yet for men to be the walls of protection, they must have strong personal walls (Prov. 25:28).

When a man has no self-control of his own spirit and body, the enemy rushes in and plunders his city, tearing down the walls of protection. After corrupting the soul of a man and breaking down his personal walls of protection, the enemy proceeds to steal his valuables—time, purpose, dignity, integrity, and security—and then wreaks havoc within his most important relationships.

When our personal walls are broken down, the enemy comes in to destroy us. And then after we are weakened and out of the picture, he can take out our treasures. Do you see the connection between personal walls and being a wall? You have to have the first to be the second. It is the man’s responsibility to stand in the gap and be the walls of protection for his family and the important people in his life.

When a man’s life falls into disorder, when his personal walls are broken down, it impacts more than just him. It impacts his city— his individual circle of influence.
