Key Verse: “But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not” Amos 2:12 Text: Amos 2:6-16 Every form of decay has its symptoms. For instance, dentists will tell you that when you begin to feel tooth sensitivity, or noticing some grey, brown or black spots on your teeth, or experiencing bad breath and unpleasant taste in your mouth, you have reason to worry about tooth decay. Far worse than tooth decay is moral decay such as the world is grappling with today. It all stems from people’s resolve to rebel against and oust God from their minds. In Prophet Amos’ time, Israel was so degenerate that they grieved God. The symptoms of their decay as outlined by the prophet include less value for human dignity, cruel oppression of the poor, judicial corruption and abominable sexual perversions.

“Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life” John 3:6 George Washington, one of the ex-presidents of the United States of America, was the one that led the campaign that broke the back of the British hold on America.

But right in the middle of battle, George Washington changed his maneuvering and invented the Guerilla Warfare. He said he discovered that the American spirit is an enterprising spirit. A lot of the soldiers were entrepreneurs, businessmen, and farmers. He could not get...

Memorise: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1 Read: Psalms 91:1-12 Message Bodyguards are specially trained security persons who usually protect very important people wherever they go. They are commonly sighted around government officials and members of their families. Business moguls, multi-millionaires, mega stars, and TV personalities enjoy going around with them. As a matter of fact, many will not be seen in public without their bodyguards because they don’t feel safe without them. However, bodyguards are limited in power, and the cost of having them is beyond the reach of the average person. The good news for Christians is that as we have bodyguards in this world, we also have spiritual bodyguards. They are automatically appointed to every child of God at the moment they become born again. They are invisible, they operate at a speed much faster than the speed of light, they have limitless power, ...
