Of Types & Shadows: The Shofar

The old testament gives us a picture of the things that exist in the spiritual realm.

Jewish tools or symbols are a picture of what is available to believers in the spiritual realm.

For example, the Shofar, referred to in KJV as a trumpet, is a ram's horn that is used to make announcements.

It started in the days of Moses where the Shofar was used to announce the arrival of God's presence on Sinai

When the Jews hear the Shofar, it could be a summoning to worship, a feast or a call for war.

In this testament, we send out announcement in personal and corporate prayers and/or worship.

For example, when you pray for more intercessors to arise, someone can literarily hear a voice or feel a tap to wake up to pray.

Your sound (not your voice) is like a shofar in the spirit. When you pray (especially when making a decree), the reach of your sound is just like the workings of the shofar.

Don't confuse the reach of your sound with the loudness of your voice. You may need to shout to release a sound, but shouting does not equal to a spirit sound.

Just like Israel hears the sound of the shofar, a spirit sound can be heard in the spirit realm and the instructions coming from the sound will be heard by spirit beings.

The sound you release (which is directly proportional to your spiritual rank) can announce a thing and cause people to take up a spiritual posture.

See this:

Joel 3:9-11:

Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I [am] strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.

This is an instruction that is still relevant today. However, blowing a ram's horn as a believer today will not achieve that verse as it does not translate into releasing a spirit sound.

You won't do this by posters, banners or running an ad on Facebook too. You will engage your spirit sound. You blow your shofar.

Seek to increase the reach of your spirit sound by following the LORD in obedience, fellowship and sacrifice.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

Shameful Calling?

After my last story about David, the official bastard. I got a call from someone, a lady and she said "Olanrewaju, can you please share my story on your blog? It would encourage your readers". After considering it, I decided to hear it first, but after I heard her story, I knew it would be perfect for you! I interviewed her and this is what I got: Olanrewaju: Can you please share your story with me? My New Friend: I will tell you about my life before I got married. I was a very modest lady who attracted praises from her parents, respect from the church members, admiration from the young men and of course, envy from some sisters. However, I remained humble, purposeful and pure. Even the pastor used me as an example as he was preaching one of his long sermons. Olanrewaju (thinking): That's a wonderful résumé! My New Friend: I got engaged to a young man in our church. He was God-fearing and he loved me with the whole of his heart. We had our introduction in a mod...
