FAITH CAPSULE: Praise God loudly as a trumpet to deny the enemies before you.

Numbers 10:1-10, Joshua 6

Whatever harms or opposes your well-being is an adversary that represents your enemy. 
The enemy is not only when one encounters a hostile foe.
Pain, sickness, and disease can also be an enemy. 
Leprosy was the enemy to the ten lepers until they encountered the Healing healer, the One and only God that never failed. 
One thing God cannot do is to fail.
As regards your confronting enemy, the one that you have called on God to intervene, God will not fail. 
God will deliver you and engage Him according to His word. 
The ten lepers engaged Him by asking. 
The ten lepers opened their mouths wide and made a loud voice. 
The word of God that speaks to the Israelites speaks to us as stated in Numbers 10:9, “When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.” 
As an enlisted army of God, the enemy will always come knocking with war. 
However, you are privileged in the position to intervene with victory by God.
Always understand with the knowledge that God is in place by the understanding of His word you call on.
In several places in the scripture, the use of the trumpet as a weapon is evident because the trumpet is a resounding call. 
The trumpet is to sound or proclaim loudly. 
A proclaimed loud trumpet backed with understanding will gain the attention of God. 
Praising in loudness, with understanding as in trumpet, will gain the attention of God.
It worked for the Israelites on their way to Canaan, and it will undoubtedly work for you because God still inhabits the praises of His people.
Just as a hindrance such as a closed door is an enemy to deny a breakthrough, proclaiming a loud trumpet will work for the breakthrough.
The Israelites encountered the wall of Jericho, a hindrance to them on their way to the Promised Land. 
In an attempt to break through their enemy (hindrance), God commanded them command to march. 
In addition to marching, He also commanded, “It shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” (Joshua 6:5) 
The command of God calls the Israelites to take up their trumpets in battle. 
As a soldier enlisted by God, what battle are you facing?   
Are you fighting ignorantly? 
Apply the wisdom in the word of God.
Praise God loudly as a trumpet to deny the enemies from bringing the battle to your front.  
Fight your war at the front of the enemy as a child of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to give attention to your loud praise.
