TRUMPET OF GOD’S DELIVERANCE

I have great news from the Lord Jesus Christ for you in this new month. 

When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies. Also at your times of rejoicing — your appointed feasts and New Moon festivals — you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God."  Num 10:9-10NIV

It is a hard thing to confess but it needs to be told; many children of God are currently being oppressed in the land and territories that God has given them. The bible even said that some children of God are currently living in lands that are sick, hence they need healing. 2 Chron. 7:14.

It is not always true that the reason you do not have peace in your marriage is because your spouse is not God’s will for you. It is not always true that the reason your business is not doing well is because it is not where God wants you to be. I have met people who have moved from city to city and from country to country looking for greener pastures. Unfortunately, they suffer the same thing in every new city they moved to. The fact is that some enemies have been following them about to oppress them in the land God has given to them.

Sigh!

Take note that we are supposed to go to war against the enemies that are oppressing us. We are not to fold our hands while we sit in a corner blowing our trumpet. We ought to engage the enemies and the kind of enemies will determine the way we engage them.

If they are demons, we engage them through warfare prayers.

The enemies of ignorance and lack of knowledge in a particular field of interest, are to be engaged through the discipline of reading and attending classes in the area.

If they are enemies called poverty and lack, we are not supposed to use only prayers. The bible tells us how to engage them.

You will again obey the Lord and follow all his commands I am giving you today. Then the Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The Lord will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your fathers, Deut. 30:8-9NIV

First step is to walk in obedience to God’s commandments.   Then, you attack poverty and lack by getting your hands into some kind of enterprise and the Lord will in His own place, prosper the works of your hands. If you are already involved in something but you are not seeing any results,  God will speak to you clearly this season.  Stay tuned to the Spirit 

For those in the ministry; as a servant of God, you do not only spend all the time on the mountain for warfare prayers, you need to launch out on outreaches, crusades and sharing of tracts in your neighborhood. Social media is a very effective platform to reach millions of souls. Instead of posting worldly contents, sports and politics online, use the platform to spread the gospel and tell the world about your ministry.

Why do we need to blow the trumpet?

The sound of the trumpet is to bring our God into the matter.

What I want to tell you is that this month will be a very busy one for us because we are going to war against all the enemies that oppress us in the land our God has given to us. The Holy Spirit does not deceive us; we are told that enemies will rise up to oppress us. They will employ different methods and use different channels. Some of these enemies are very powerful and we cannot engage them in our own power. That is why we have to blow our trumpet. We blow our trumpet to invite our God into the conflict. 

Someone could argue; why would God wait for us to invite Him?

That is the order.

That is the due process.

God created you a free moral being and He only gets involved in the matters you invite Him to.

It is not only in battles that we need to blow our trumpets. Our main text says that we also need to blow our trumpet to invite Him to our feasts and sacrifices. That means our church and fellowship services. 

Verse 8 of our text chapter says that it is the duty of the priests to blow the trumpets. In a sense this speaks of the pastors and those vested with the spiritual responsibility to mobilize the children of God.

Wait a minute! There is one great news for every one of us.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9NIV

You don’t have to wait for anyone to sound the trumpet for you. As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are a royal priesthood.

Praise God!

To blow our trumpet also means to shout out the praises of our God. If you have a trumpet, blow it. If you do not have one, use your voices and sing praises to God in this month. When you begin to sing praises and declare the mighty works and wonders of our great God, the Lord will step in and will deliver you. It is a promise from our trustworthy God. 

I need to remind  you of this.

The PNUR Family has determined to invest one hour of every of the 31 days of the month of May to blow our trumpet to our God. 

At the Door of Hope Christian Center, Port Harcourt, we placed it at 8 – 9 PM every evening. We assemble to blow our trumpet to our God. The trumpet of God’s deliverance.

Yes, He promised to rescue, deliver or save us from those enemies that want to oppress in the land the Lord has given to us.

You can choose your own time in your country, but the important thing is that you blow your trumpet.

I will come back to you on this subject as we start this journey.

Remain in the place of prayer.

Happy New Month
