O
God of Amos. Thank you for choosing as your sons and daughters. When our Church
became lackadaisical you have sent our beloved pastor to strengthen its call
and to make disciples. When we are settling for cheap grace you have sending
costly grace through different mediums. Your scriptures says "Chosen the
poor in the world to be rich in faith" (James 2:5). Thank you for choosing
the poor and uneducated to perform your task. Amos (minor prophet) was neither
prophet nor a prophet’s son. He was not educated and undergone training in any
prophetic school. He was the contemporary of 3 Isaiah's (Major Prophet) who was
well educated and trained. Thank you for using the two prophets (educated and
uneducated) in the same time, to show the world that you can use anyone who are
ready. Luxurious life by the rich, oppressing the poor, in justice, corruption,
paganism and idolatry are not new concepts in present context but existed since
Amos’ time. Though he was not a prophet your spirit stirred him up and made
prophet to stand for social justice. Dear God, we confess that we are
witnessing oppression, injustice, unrighteousness, corruption and all sorts of
decline in spiritual standards prescribed by bible but we are not standing for
social justice. Several times we are posting this and that in social media but
when time comes we are not acting accordingly. Amos prophesied on behalf of
poor and you promised restoration (Amos 9:11-15). O God. I am ready use me
irrespective of my capabilities, capacities, calibre, skills, proficiency,
qualities and qualifications. Give us the promise of restoration to my brothers
& sisters through me. Thank you for using me as a carrier of your love. In
Jesus name we pray. Amen
