“Blow The Trumpet – Part 1”
Saturday, February 24, 2024Key Verse
“But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.” Judges 6:34
Text — Judges 6:33-40
Message
The trumpet is a brass instrument commonly used for music. It is used to call the attention of people to a gathering or an assembly. The trumpet serves multiple purposes also. Gideon was known as a mighty man of valour and the Lord used him to fight and deliver the children of Israel from the hands of their enemy. According to our Bible passage, we saw how the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he blew the trumpet to gather the men of war to battle.
Today, the trumpet is used by the choir as a musical instrument to minister to the lives of people, but beyond the physical, the trumpet spiritually represents our duty to tell others about Christ. We are to blow the trumpet of the gospel and sound the warning to all people of the danger of hell fire. Blowing the trumpet and calling people to repentance should be our daily duty. We must ensure that every day we win a soul for Christ. Remember, the last trumpet will soon sound, and Jesus will come to take His friends to heaven. You must be ready for this great event.
