(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 8 verses 1 to 2)

Oh, brothers and Sisters repent from our sins, for the Lord God our Father can easily make such a declaration regarding us, even though He loves us with unimaginable love.

(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 8 verses 4 to 6)


Oh, You who abuse the poor and middle classes in order to increase your profits bear in mind that there is a God who will avenge those of a greater need and provide for them during times of poverty.

Oh God my Father during our every day lives we attribute goodness and gratitude to humans, we say "Had it not been for John, I would not have made it in time for the appointment!, and many more, such praises, which rightfully so are to be given to You, for You have control and authority over all that takes place in our lives. I thank You so much, my God and Father Amen.

Oh Father of love and life, blessed be Your Name. On this special day that we commemorate as Father's Day, I would like to end this eight chapter of the book of the Small Prophet Amos with the following prayer:-

Oh God, my Father, I praise and thank You for being my Father. On this special day, I wish You the best Father's day ever in eternity long. However, as one of Your many sons and daughters, I declare that I am a sinner and that I depend on Your love and mercy. I thank You for being there for me as a loving Father should be. I pray for my daughter and entrust her in Your love and care for You are the best Father ever. Amen

Then the Lord said, "See, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass them by; ⁹ the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."

(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 7 verses 14 to 15)



Oh brothers and sisters, as in the case of Amos the prophet, I am neither a theologian or a philosopher, I am a Social Worker by profession and a sinner according to human nature. However, even though I am the least among many intelligent people from the people of God, God gave me the idea of creating this blog in the year 2003 as my prayer time on the Bible and to this day, God is assisting me in compiling and updating this blog Amen. I  thank You, Jesus, for this opportunity of using me to accomplish this positive act Amen.

(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 7 verse 17)

I would like to end this seventh chapter of the book of the small prophet Amos with the following prayer:-


Oh God my Father I pray for mercy on the world at this point in time, for I feel that the green horse that brings sickness as referred in the book of Revelations to St. John is already set loose on the earth and is leaving a lot of serious illness such as this Corona Virus. I pray that we turn to You our source of healing and strength Amen.

¹ Alas for those who are at ease in Zion, and for those who feel secure on Mount Samaria the notables of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel resorts.

 

 

 

(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verse 1) 

 

 

 

 Alas to those of us, even at times myself, who may feel that they are walking according to God's way and may be under the impression that their faith is complete and that their place in heaven is secure because we are familiar with God and His Word and maybe because we pray every day and attend to this or that particular prayer group.

Alas for us, even though we may feel in our comfort zones, You my God and Father are asking us to make leaps of faith in our life, to continue to grow in our faith, for because even if we may be of an age we are still infants where it concerns our faith. I pray that we become more aware of the need to grow in our life holistically including our faith and spiritual life Amen.



² Cross over to Calneh, and see: from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is your territory greater than their territory?

(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verse 2) 

Oh God, my Father in a spirit of prayer I ask myself the same question. What have I given You more than others that I may live in Malta, where I can feel safe and secure and happy, even though the opportunities it offers cannot be compared to those of the USA, however I am still happy and grateful to live in Malta and to be called a Christian and a Catholic Amen.



³ O you that put far away the evil day, and bring near a reign of violence?

(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verse 3) 

Oh God my loving Father You are the only one who can press the reset button and bring an end to all the injustice taking place in the world and that will take place in the future. You have control over all things and over all situations. I pray that You bring an end to all suffering according to Your will so that we will be freed from the bondage of sin and evil will be no longer. Oh, what a day this would be my God and Father Amen.


⁴ Alas for those who lie on beds of ivory, and lounge on their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the stall; ⁵ who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp, and like David improvise on instruments of music; ⁶ who drink wine from bowls, and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!

(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verses 4 to 6) 

Oh God, my Father, we can also end up being alienated from the realities and needs of those in our inner circles and even those who do not pertain to such circles. I pray for those in power so that they use it well in a sensible and sensitive way in order to achieve the best for their subjects Amen.



⁷ Therefore they shall now be the first to go into exile, and the revelry of the loungers shall pass away.



(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verse 7) 



Alas for alienation it is our ruin all things of the world will pass by but Your promises shall never remain passive Amen.



⁸ The Lord GOD has sworn by himself (says the LORD, the God of hosts): I abhor the pride of Jacob and hate his strongholds, and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.



(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verse 8) 


Oh God my Father, You can swear as much as You want to but I cannot use Your name in vain, I love You so much. There have only been a few moments when I was pushed to the edge of my sanity and I ended up swearing by Your Holy Name, and for such moments I plead for Your forgiveness Amen.


⁹ If ten people remain in one house, they shall die. ¹⁰ And if a relative, one who burns the dead, shall take up the body to bring it out of the house, and shall say to someone in the innermost parts of the house. "Is anyone else with you?" the answer will come, "No." Then the relative shall say, "Hush! We must not mention the name of the LORD."




(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verses 9 to 10) 



Oh God, my Father You are a jealous God who never accepts to occupy the second place in our lives. You do not accept the ways of the world such as cremation for this goes against Your will Amen. I pray that You help me overcome the trials of life in order to obey You Amen.



¹¹ See, the LORD commands, and the great house shall be shattered to bits and the little house to pieces.




(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verse 11) 


Oh God, my Father as I have always believed and as found written in the Bible, all is under Your control and You control everything. Therefore I place my will under Your command and may Your will be done in all the circumstances of my life and not mine Amen.



¹³ Do horses run on rocks? Does one plough the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood-¹³ you who rejoice in Lo-debar," who say, "Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?" ¹⁴ Indeed, I am raising up against you a nation. O house of Israel, says the LORD, the God of hosts, and they shall oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Wadi Arabah. 




(The Book of Small Prophets Chapter 6 verses 13 to 14) 


Oh, brothers and sisters, we have removed God from the core of our lives and we are trying to take full control. We have become foolish enough to claim ourselves almost to be God of our lives. We are depending more on ourselves and our means than on You my God and Father. In doing so we are making a mess of our lives and those of others. I pray that You take control, my God and Father Amen.



Oh God, my Father, I would like to end this sixth chapter of the book of the small prophet Amos with the following prayer:-


Oh God my Father shake us out of our state of alienation. Show us the holy road to our salvation. Turn us away from our sinful ways. Give us your light for we are blind. Amen. Thank You Jesus.

¹ Hear this word that I take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel; ² Fallen, no more to rise, is maiden Israel; forsaken on her land with no one to raise her up.

(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verses 1 to 2)

Oh God my Father Your instructions are clear. They are for us to hear and listen attentively. We no longer can take You and Your Word for granted. It is a must that we pay attention, for as a world we have already went donw the scale from sons and daughters of God to maidens as in the case of Israel. We have also fallen due to the weight of our sins. We would like to wake up and be responsible and carry our weight on our two feet, but we are happy living in an alienated life of virtual reality with the mouse in our hand and the impression that we are in control of our lives. Wake up! Brothers and Sisters! This is an ilusion! the opium of the people that Karl Marx had predicted so long ago. Somebody forgot the valve of the opium flowing and today we are still under its drowsy effect. We think that we are seeing reality but we are not help us oh Jesus, for we need Your help urgently!

However I still believe that You are in control and that Your will be done. Amen.

Oh God my Father, the choice has always been the same and will always will remain so, this is You. All life finds its meaning in You, and in You only can I  find true and everlasting life. I pray that I will not be tempted to seek the corrupted ways of the world, but only the paths that lead to You Amen.


⁶ Seek the Lord and live, or he will break out against the house of Joseph like fire, and it will devour Bethel, with no one to quench it.


(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verse 6)



Oh God my Father I am trying to seek You but I  am dying instead of living, Your hand has rested on me in a way that my life is not even worth living. My life is being devoured by Your fire and the fire of my sins. It is not worth living any more all is becoming ashes. Amen.



⁷ Ah you that turn justice to wormwood and bring righteousness to the ground!


(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verse 7)



Oh God my Father this is a word or message or admonition for all of us for we are all sinners, who in a way are selfish in our ways and if given the opportunity we turn a situation into our favour. I pray oh God my Father, that You free me and the rest of humanity from this circle of selfishness Amen.


⁸ The one who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning;, and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the LORD is his name, ⁹ who makes destruction flash out against the strong, so that destruction comes upon the fortress.

¹¹ Therefore because you trample on the poor and take from them levies of grain you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not live in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.


(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verse 11)


Oh God, my blessed Father, I pray that You give me the wisdom, love, and strength to cater to the needs of vulnerable people and even help to preserve their rights. I pray that You help me in assisting a person who is really and truly vulnerable, I pray that You help me in advocating for him Amen.


¹² For I know how many are your transgressions, and how great are your sins- you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and push aside the needy in the gate.



(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verse 12)


Oh God my beloved Father, You know me even more than I know myself. You know my strengths and You know my weaknesses. You know how much I try to do my best and how much I try to overcome myself and place my trust in You. Amen.

(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verse 13)

(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verse 14)

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord; In all the squares there shall be wailing; and in all the streets they shall say "Alas! alas!" They shall call the farmers to mourning, and those skilled in lamentation, to wailing; ¹⁷ in all the vineyards there shall be wailing, for I will pass through the midst of you, says the LORD.


(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verses 16 to 17)


Oh God my beloved Father, what a heartbreak it would be if You were to pass among us and we would not be aware of Your Holy and mighty presence. I pray that I am always ready to welcome You in my heart and that I am always receptive to You my God and Father Amen.


¹⁸ Alas for you who desire the day of the LORD! Why do you want the day of the LORD? It is darkness, not light; ¹⁹ as if someone fled from a lion, and was met by a bear; or went into the house and rested a hand against the wall, and was bitten by a snake.


(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verses 18 to 19) 



Oh God my Father, for those who do not have Your fear, the day of the LORD is going to be great trauma, for they will realize that the God that they did not believe in really exists.

²¹ I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.


(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verse 21) 


Oh God my Father, I understand the reason for hating our festivals, because many times certain festivals are not focused  on giving You praise and worship but a good opportunity for meeting friends and maybe having a drink.


²² Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the offerings of well-being of your fatted animals I will not look upon. ²³ Take away from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the melody of your harps. ²⁴ But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.



(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verses 22 to 24)

(The Book of Small Prophets Amos Chapter 5 verses 25 to 27)  



Oh God my Father, I totally agree with You. When the going is good we refer to our own idols and even ourselves however when the going gets tough we offer You our prayers. This is use and abuse of Your love, mercy and justice Amen

Oh God my beloved Father, I wish to end this meditation on the fifth chapter of the book of the small prophet Amos with the following prayer:


May we remain faithful to You my God and Father. May You always be the most important person in our lives. Forgive us when we used You and even abused You by referring to worldly idols and practices. Amen.
