“12 The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy,”  Psalm 65:12

An Overview; Amos was a herdsman, and engaged in agriculture. But the same Divine Spirit influenced Isaiah and Daniel in the court, and Amos in the sheep-folds, giving to each the powers and eloquence needful for them. He assures the twelve tribes of the destruction of the neighbouring nations; and as they at that time gave themselves up to wickedness and idolatry, he reproves the Jewish nation with severity; but describes the restoration of the church by the Messiah, extending to the latter days.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Joel Chapter 1; “Judgments against the Syrians, Philistines, Tyrians, Edomites, and Ammonites.

- GOD employed a shepherd, a herdsman, to reprove and warn the people. Those to whom God gives abilities for his services, ought not to be despised for their origin, or their employment. Judgments are denounced against the neighbouring nations, the oppressors of God's people. The number of transgressions does not here mean that exact number, but many: they had filled the measure of their sins, and were ripe for vengeance. The method in dealing with these nations is, in part, the same, yet in each there is something peculiar. In all ages this bitterness has been shown against the Lord's people. When the Lord reckons with his enemies, how tremendous are his judgments! - Matthew Henry Concise
God gives the words to Amos, a shepherd named Amos to warn the nations, (see Amos 1 ) of Damascus,  Gaza, Ashdod, Tyre, Edom and Ammon that they were going to be judged for sin’s against God’s chosen people; “14 So I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour her strongholds, with shouting on the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind; 15 and their king shall go into exile, he and his princes together," says the LORD.Amos 1:14-15 English Standard Versions (ESV).  I once heard a pastor say; “God doesn’t call the qualified He qualifies the called!”  This seems to be true in many cases; (see Matthew 4:18-22) look at the first disciples Jesus called.  God gives different gifts as he sees fit (see Hebrews 2:4) for those who are called according to His purpose.  It’s up to us who have heard God’s Word to  seek God’s purpose for our lives;1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 ESV.  King David was a man after God’s own heart, not always a godly man (see Psalm 84:2) he turned to God for help in every circumstance.  Listen up Saints always conduct your selves as godly people (see 1 Timothy 4:8) who seek God first no matter where we are.  We must love and seek sinners before; (see John 9:31) they face God’s proclamation of their divine judgment.
Listen!  Can you hear Jesus calling you? Is this is the day of your salvation (see Revelation 3:20) will you answer Him? Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.htm
