Caring for the People

Image
 A number of mortals are broken, and urgent steps have to be taken to put them together again. Our God cares about our situation, and He has taken steps to retore us to wholeness. He came into the world in the person of Jesus Christ and He fashioned the church as His body so that ''the members should have the same care for one another.'' We should allow our Savior to make us care for people smashed in these perilous times. Care for others because God cares for you. Read Philippians 2: 12-24 The Depraved The absurd is the trend everywhere. Productivity no longer has set standards.  Warders at the different points of entry at the Agodi Correctional Center request for money before visitors can gain entrance to see inmates. All the institutions of law enforcement and justice have been heavily compromised to further the evil machinations of the depraved, while the people are ceaseless and persistent in their prayers for divine intervention.

Outward Ceremonials of Religion


Amos 5:21 WEB Mobile Phone Wallpaper - I hate, I despise your feasts, And I can't stand

Amos 5:22 KJV - Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat

When seeking justice and righteousness, we should act correctly towards the needy and oppressed. Outward ceremonials of religion cannot cover up for transgressions.

Amos 5:16-27

God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

16Therefore 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 mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

17And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.

18Woe 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.

19As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

20Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

21I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

23Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

25Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

26But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

27Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.

Ceaseless Prayers

Image
 Let us pray ceaselessly for God to open the eyes of those who have political power and have become committed to unjust economic policies and deep social injustices.  Amos 8:4-14 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;  yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as  by  the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I wi...
