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 ...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...
