...watchman's voice

Though the idea of sho-phar (Hebrew: a cornet, as giving a clear sound) a symbol of proclamation has emerged in the recent past the seed of the same was sown in my heart on 18th March 1996 when I was seeking the Lord and His purpose in my life. I still remember the distinct voice of the Lord in my heart through His Word in  Isaiah 49:1-5 " The LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name. ...He said to me, "You are my servant, .he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself." The Lord further confirmed His call through His Word in Ezekiel 33:6-7   "But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel;   Ever since the call of the Lord in 1996, this has been the burden of the Lord on my heart to proclaim the Good News in season and out of season in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria and in the regions beyond. Shophar is a clarion call to reach out to the world around us and to actively be involved in being a part of the Lord's final commission with our  time, talent and resources that God invested in us.
