BLOW YOUR TRUMPET
“But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abi-ezer was gathered after him.” (Judges 6:34 KJV)
The scripture tells us how Gideon who was hiding at the beginning blew his trumpet and the entire nation came to him. Each time you open your mouth to speak, you are blowing your trumpet. It is not your business to know how it will happen, it is supernatural. Everything that came into existence started from “And God said.” And the bible says in the book of 2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV) “We having the same spirit of faith, according to as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;” Speak what you believe and let the devil hear it.
God did not change the names of Abram and Sarai to Abraham and Sarah by accident, it was intentional. Abraham means Father of nations while Sarah means mother of nations. It was not because God was looking for words. He wanted them to blow their trumpets in the faces of the people who will ridicule them. Trumpets are one of the instruments that form the lifestyle of God’s people in the Old Testament, and it was used for many things. But in our time, our mouth is our trumpet. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. If there was a time you are expected to blow your trumpet, it is now. Trumpets are used to summon divine assistance. So when you begin to speak, angels will begin to gather. But when your mouth is closed, your angels are going to be on vacation.
Child of God your walk with God is from glory to glory. It starts in glory, progresses in glory, and it will end in glory. It is already settled! God has already established you. Your story can never end in reproach. Your story can never end in shame. For you to operate in the divine realm, you must have the mentality of dominion and victory. Don’t welcome the mentality of shortage. Your story is filled with glory.

DAILY CONFESSION
The Lord will go before me to make the crooked places straight: He will break in pieces the gates of brass and cut in sunder the bars of iron. He will give me the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches in secret places… I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. For God has not given me the spirit of fear but He has given me the Spirit of love, power and a sound mind. (Isa. 45:2-3, Ephesians 6:10; 2 Tim 1:7)
My God shall keep me secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. God is my hiding place; He will preserve me from trouble; He will surround me with songs of deliverance and keep me alive for the name of the Lord is a strong tower: I have run into it and I am safe. No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise up against me in judgment I condemn. This is my heritage as a servant of the Lord, and my righteousness is of the Lord. (Psalm 31:20, Psalm 32:7, 41:2, Proverbs 18:10, Isaiah 54:17)
Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.
I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, I am accountable in all I do because I’ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.
It is my day of Rest!
