FOREWORD

From the citadel of praise comes the trumpet of praise. The trumpet featured prominently in the life of the people of Israel, and it was often associated with victory, joy and praise. The wall of Jericho fell to the sound of the trumpet. (Joshua. 6:20) David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. (I Chronicles. 16: 1-6) The last Psalm of David tells us to praise the LORD with the sound of the trumpet (Psalm.150:3).

In your hands you have this beautifully written book by Sister Adeola Ayoola. It is a book of praise borne out of thrilling experiences of God's grace and favour. It is a book of unending praise brought about by an incomprehensible chain of victories which has produced unlimited joy, expressed with total and unbounded flair. From onset we see the hand of God directing the steps of His children- the Ayoola family– to perform His miracles and to honour His name. In John 9: 1-3, we read: And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered …neither hath this man sinned nor his parents; but that the works of God should be manifested in him."

With reference to the Ayoola family; How do you explain the return of a father who was not expected, showing up at a time when all hope was lost on the survival of his twin daughters? He became the instrument of praise in the hands of God Almighty. All that can be said is to echo the words of John 11:4 that the sickness of the Twins was not unto death but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. We see many instances in the life of our Sister Adeola and her family which confirmed the glory of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. It is therefore easy to understand the effusiveness of the praise in this book, and the loudness of the trumpet of praise.

For those who still are unable to find a reason to praise God, those who think God has been unkind to them, Sister Adeola offers numerous reasons from the Bible, why on a daily basis, praises should be offered to God with the trumpet of gratitude in our daily struggles. The Bible tells us in Nehemiah 4:20 that the sound of praise draws us to the place where our God will fight for us. The trumpet of praise draws us to a place of refuge, inhabited by God, a place where God is real and other things are mere shadows.

The trumpet of praise that God has placed in our hands also has another role: as watchmen and women for our Lord Jesus Christ, we are to use this trumpet to sound warning to all people about the end of times. If we fail to do so and people are not warned and perish in their iniquities, the bible says in Ezekiel 33:6 that the blood of those who perish will be required from our hands.

In the end of times, when our Lord shall return, it will be the sound of the trumpet that will herald his coming and the gathering together of the elect as it is written; In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; the trumpet shall sound and all the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed.  (1 Cor. 15:52) Only those who daily blow their trumpet of praise in appreciation of God Almighty will hear the sound of the trumpet heralding the coming of the Prince of Peace.

Sister Adeola through the grace of God has produced a precious book for the praise of our Lord and Saviour. May the LORD bless her efforts, even as people blow the trumpet of praise to the glory of God.
