The Power of Agreement

Day 232

Reading: Amos 1:1 - Amos 4:13

Welcome to the Book of Amos. Amos was a farmer whom God called to be a prophet. He prophesied in during the reign of Uzziah, the king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the king of Israel. Another prophet who was also in this timeline is Hosea who prophesied to the Kingdom of Israel. The Book of Amos begins with a startling fact. It was written two years before the earthquake. Amos begins prophesying and declares that it is two years before an earthquake.

Amos in prophesying to the nations declares to Israel that God was weighed down by the disobediece of His children. God questions the deeds of the children of Israel. Their disobedience defied His covenant. The children of Israel were committing idolatry and thus not walking with God. God desires that we walk with Him. The earth is looking for people who are walking with God to manifest His glory in all realms of life. We can only walk with God when we are in agreement with Him.  What is walking with God in agreement?

  • Obedience signifies to God that you are in agreement with His standards. When we obey the commandments of God we are telling God that I agree with everything He requests. 
  • Prayer is the route to manifesting God's agreement on earth. When we seek God's face we are saying to God that we need Him and desire to see His power manifested. 
  • A lifestyle of praise and thanksgiving magnifies God revealing your desire to walk with Him. Praise brings God into the scene. Praise enables God to build a throne on His children. 
What is the blessing of walking in agreement with God?
  • God has secrets which can only be revealed through relationship Deuteronomy 29:29; Psalms 25:14. Your pursuit of God will open the doors for you to receive His secrets. 
  • Protection from the coming judgement. The earth will experience God's judgement and only those who are walking in agreement with Him will escape. Remember Elijah crying to God about the terror of Jezebel and Ahab against the prophets of God. God told Elijah that there were 7000 hidden by God, not just him. God desires to hide us in this tumultuous times we are living in.
  • Our hearts remain tender. One of the challenges of the day is that many peoples' hearts are calloused. God desires we maintain tender hearts. Walking with God helps us maintain a pure contrite and broken heart before God.
Prepare to meet God child of God! Prepare to meet Him in your daily affairs. Walk with God in agreement and you will see Him.

Memory Verse: Amos 3:7

Decree: 


Amos 3:3
Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
