    Watchtowers and Watchmen

    The hillsides throughout Oman are dotted with ancient watchtowers. These round towers were built at strategic high places and manned by 1-2 soldiers. These watchmen would guard towns, oases, and strategic passes, warning of threat or attack. It was a lonely, dangerous, tedious post with day and night vigil.

    In the Bible, watchmen would guard the walls and towers of cities and vineyards, and were often a metaphor for prayer and intercession. Let's pray to the Lord of the Harvest to raise up more watchmen over this nation!

    "I have posted watchmen on your walls; they will pray day and night, continually. Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord. Give the Lord no rest until He completes His work..."  (From Isaiah 62:6-7, NLT)

    • Pray that God would raise up a movement of Prayer Watchmen and Watchwomen who will pray faithfully, earnestly, and vigilantly for Oman.
    • Pray for Houses of Prayer to be established in every major city in Oman.
    • Pray for day and night worship and intercession to be established in this nation.
