Hearing Your Clarion Call

For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 1Cor. 14:8

The Clarion

The Clarion was a medieval trumpet with a clear high-pitched tone which they used to summon people to action and as a signal in war.

This clear unmistakable sound led to the figure of speech, “The Clarion Call” derived from the Latin words “claritat” [clarity] and “clarus” [clear] which are used to express clearness of expression, thought, sound or image.

Sounding the trumpet is described 60 times throughout Scripture as a call to action and clarity in understanding.

God Has a Clarion Voice

I clearly remember sitting in our church and looking up to the Preacher, high above us on the pedestal, nearly touching heaven with his head from my point of view as a little girl. He spoke about listening to God’s voice and I wondered what He sounded like and how we are suppose to hear Him?

During later years I learned to listen and wait upon Him to speak to me. Though He speaks in different ways, one common denominator is always present; when He speaks I know with-out a doubt, I hear Him and I can clearly state His answer and which direction I need to take. He has a clarion voice!

Just read throughout the Scriptures, where God has spoken and you will discover that His words are always crisp, clear and direct.

Jesus says in John 10:4-5 that we know His voice and the voice of a stranger we will not follow.

Hearing Your Clarion Call

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Ps. 32:8

God created you and me with a unique purpose for this time and hour. He instructs us in every season of our walk. This is our Clarion Call. When you and I are obedient to executing His instruction, we will achieve great exploits for God in our spheres of influence. Through our clarion calls, He directs our footsteps and leads us to victory, not only to bless us but also to reveal His glory through us.  In our obedience we bring Him the honour.

It is important to make sure that we are certain what it is we are to do at this time.  To be obedient and to do it with excellence is crucial. Upon this building block we will build during our next season.

May you build with joy!

There are Giants in Your Promised Land

Be strong and of good courage, the Lord will go with you!

And the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you little by little; you will be unable to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. Deut. 7:22

The Israelites allowed their fear of man to overpower them, not obeying their call from God to enter into their promised land. They died without fulfilling their purpose and missed the blessings they would have received from the Lord while manifesting their destiny in the land of milk and honey.

A whole new generation had to be raised up for this purpose except for Joshua and Caleb who trusted God to give them victory in Canaan.

We are not taken into a promised land that lays waste, bare and empty but one that is cultivated, taken care off and producing fruit. For this reason, we need to focus our eyes on the vision He gives us, obey His call to action and trust Him to give us the strategy to drive out our enemy from before us, one by one.

You and I can trust the Lord that He will have a solution to every problem we face, a strategy for every mountain we need to overcome and victory over the giants in our land.

Friends, the Promised Land comes with hard work, battles and victories…”be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deut. 31: 6

May you be blessed in your pursuit!
