A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon and I will darken the earth in the clear day: And I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins and baldness upon every head and I will make it as the mourning of an only son and the end thereof as a bitter day. Behold, the days come saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD; Amos 8:9-11
Jehovah God tells Amos that he will cause the sun to go down at noon and will darken the earth in the clear day. As well as turn the feasts of the Israelite into mourning as of an only son. Then baldness on every head and sackcloth upon all loins. Then the shocking judgment of a famine in the land, not of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah. What a judgment as we are living in a day in America in this pandemic when churches are virtual and many have turned their ears away from the truth. People are wandering from sea to sea to seek the word of the Lord God. My prayers are that there will come a great awakening upon the earth of hearing the word of God and that he would raise up great preachers who will say thus saith the Lord. And as Samuel saith speak Lord, for thy servants listens.
#Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making ephah small and the shekel great and falsifying the balances by deceit? That we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea and sell the refuse of the wheat? The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. Amos 8:5-7
Jehovah God has sworn by the excellency of Jacob that surely he will not forget their works. The falsifying the balances by deceit, as well as buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes; this is a representative of what is happening in America now with the income inequality that is taking place between the rich and the poor. Jehovah is a buckler for the poor and he will not forget the deceit of holding back their wages by the rich. Israel was judged for this behavior and America will be too, if she does not repent of this wickedness. We pray that the Church will be salt and light in this time of apostasy to save this country from this evil.
#Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me and behold a basket of summer fruit. And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end has come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them anymore. And the songs of the temple shall be howling in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. Amos 8:1-3
Adonia tells Amos to look at what he can see and Amos replied I see a basket of summer fruit. Then Jehovah God tells him the end has come upon my people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore. What a tragedy this is today as America is seeing the wrath of climate change and wildfires in the Westcoast and Hurricanes in the Eastcoast ravishing the land, and still the people do not call upon the name of the Lord for salvation. As in Israel, the temple shall be howling on that day and there will be many dead bodies. This period will happen in the great tribulation. We are in the days just before the rapture of the Church when God will pour out his wrath on a Christ-rejecting world.
#Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD. Thus he showed me and behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said a plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. Amos 7:5-11
Amos sees the plague of the grasshoppers and now he begs Adonai to save Jacob for he is small. Then Adonai shows Amos the wall built by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand and says I shall set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more: Idolatry is the reason for this judgment and Amaziah the priest of Bethel has failed to warn Jeroboam to repent of his idolatry. So Jehovah God calls Amos, a herdsman. and a gatherer of sycomore fruit to pronounce the judgment is coming. Amaziah's wife will become a harlot, his sons and daughters will fall by the sword, Amaziah will die in a polluted land. Jeroboam shall die by the sword and Israel will be led into captivity. We must warn as preachers of God the people of God of impending gloom if they fail to repent of their idolatry. Amaziah failed to do this but told Amos to flee into Judah and eat bread, as well as prophesy there. People do not want to hear the message of judgment but will heap to themselves those that will tickle their ears with stories that make them feel good. What a parallel we see today in the Church and it is a sign that God will judge America for her idolatry and hold the false preachers accountable for their blood.
#Pass ye unto Calneh and see and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? Ye that put far away the evil day and causes the seat of violence to come near; That lie upon beds of ivory and stretch themselves upon their couches and eat the lambs out of the flock and the calves out of the midst of the stall; That chant to the sound of the viol and invent themselves instruments of music, like David; That drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the chief ointments but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. Amos 6:2-6
Pray for the Police officers that were ambushed and that the violence will end. We are living in the days of Noah, as violence filled the earth and it repented God that he had created man. Israel would drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with chief ointments but did not grieve for the affliction of Joseph. We must care for those who are afflicted and in trouble just as Joseph saved the world from the great famine in Egypt when he was Prime Minister. Joseph said they meant it for evil, but God meant it for good that many people would be saved. Have compassion for all those suffering from the wild-fires and Hurricanes. May we turn to Jesus Christ the great Savior of the world to redeem us from affliction.
#Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come! Amos 6:1
For Israel was at ease in Zion and trusted in the mountain of Samaria. God was jealous of their idolatry and turned them over to their enemies. We are seeing the same scenario in America, many are at ease on the stock market and trusting in Wall Street to keep them at ease. God is jealous of this idolatry and is sending wild-fires in the Westcoast and hurricanes in the Eastcoast. O that the Church will stand up and be the salt, as well as light in this apocalyptic time. We are seeing the beginning of the end times as this world-wide pandemic has the whole world on lockdown and searching for answers. Jesus is the only answer to the world in these dark days and it is up to the people of God to ring in holiness and put an end to the idolatry of the day. The children of Israel were trusting in Samaria instead of trusting in God. Today many are trusting in Wall Street instead of trusting in Jesus the light of the world. It is time to weep and mourn over our sins and turn to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. When we do this God will restore the years that the locust has eaten and replace the crops that the cankerworm has destroyed. God has placed the Church to be salt and light in a dark world that needs light. May we shine for Jesus and sing His praises in these last days is my prayer in Jesus's name Amen!
#Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts. Amos 5:25-27
Jehovah God does not accept the offering and sacrifices that the Israelites did offer in the wilderness for forty years. Because they have borne the tabernacle of Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god which ye made to yourselves. Idolatry was the sin that caused God to cast off his people into captivity beyond Damascus said Jehovah the God of angel armies. We too in America have idols of sports figures, and wall street. It is time for us to repent before God causes us to go into captivity. Thou shalt not have any gods before me saith the Lord God. We must love the Lord our God with all our hearts, minds, and souls. The second commandment is like unto this thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. So my brothers and sisters let us repent of our idolatry by turning to Jesus in faith by the Holy Spirit. I am sure that we will see God bless us with the early and latter rains on our crops. May God bless America and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
#But let judgment run down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. Amos 5:24
We are mourning the anniversary of September 11, 2001, which was the greatest disaster since Pearl Harbor. We pray as Amos was prophesying to the Israelites to let judgment run down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. This verse was quoted by Martin Luther King in the Civil Rights movement and it reminds us that righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. It is time to end racism and work to bring peace on earth. As Athletes bring attention to the issues of racism it is time that the Church addresses systemic racism in this country. It is still lawful to discriminate against ministers of color who would preach in white churches, by the ministerial exception. When justice runs like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream, we will be able to end these discriminatory actions in the Church and society. As Jesus preached on the Sermon on the Mount: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. It is not easy as a minister to bring people together as birds of a feather tend to flock together. Yet we must continue to hold up the blood-stained Banner and fight the good fight of faith. Let love rule in all our relationships and do good to all men especially to those of the house of faith.
#Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned on the wall and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness and not light? even very dark and no brightness in it? I hate I despise your feast days and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Amos 5:18-21
Jehovah God warned those that desire the day of the Lord, for it shall be darkness and not light. It will be as though a man did flee from a lion to run into a bear. What a metaphor and as if a man went into a house and leaned on a wall, then a serpent bit him. This will be a time of great sorrow that shall come upon the whole world. We are to watch and pray so that we will be counted worthy to escape the day of the Lord. Just as God saved Noah and his family from the flood, as well as just Lot from the hail and brimstone of Sodom. Yet Jehovah despises your feast days and he will not smell in your solemn assemblies. It is a time when there will be great lukewarmness in the Church and Jesus shall spew out of his mouth all those who say I am rich and have need of nothing. Jesus admonishes us to buy gold tried in the fire and to repent less that day comes upon you unawares. The Philadelphia church is given the promise because you kept the word of my patience, I will keep thee from the hour of trial that shall come upon the whole world. This is the rapture of the church that is promised to all those who will love his appearing.
#Seek good and not evil, that ye may live and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Hate the evil and love the good and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas, and they shall call the husbandman to mourn and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing. And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. Amos 5:14-17
Jehovah God tells the Israelites to seek good and not evil, that ye may live and the God of host shall be with you. Nevertheless, because you did not obey the command of the Lord there will be wailing in the streets and they shall say in all the highways Alas! as the farmers will be mourning as well as the skillful of lamentation will wail. What a warning we have in America today as fires ravish the Westcoast and Hurricanes destroy the Eastcoast. We must mourn for our sins and turn to God with wailing by seeking to do good. Homes need to be put back together and God must be the first place in our lives. For, these are all the signs that the day of the Lord is coming as a thief in the night. For it shall catch all the world by surprise. Jesus warned as the days of Noah and Lot were, so would be the coming of the Lord. It is my prayer that Pastors will preach repentance toward Christ and the forgiveness of sins for people to turn back to the Lord before the tribulation comes.
