Amos likely did that for additional income. Amos told Amaziah that while he was breeding his sheep, raising his cattle, and dressing sycamore trees, the LORD called him to proclaim a message: The Lord took me from following the flock and the Lord said to me, Go prophesy to My people Israel. God called Israel 'My people' because He had a ...

Amos described himself as “a herdsmen” (Amos 7:14). He was “among the sheepherders from Tekoa” (Amos 1:1) – a relatively insignificant village of Judah at the edge of the wilderness. Though he was from Judah, God sent him to prophesy primarily to the tribes of Israel (Amos 3:1; 4:1; 5:1; 7:8-9; 8:1-2; et al.). Amos also said that he was “not a prop...
Let us notice five reasons why it took couragefor Amos to speak out in the way that he did. First, Amos’ message was against everyone. We sometimes hear the phrase, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” This suggests that we can often find support from the enemies of those whom we criticize. Paul used this tactic to his advantage as he briefly won ...
Amos knew what was right. Being a prophet in the literal sense, he received the word of God directly from the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21). Amos believed it was better for him to serve the Lord than to enjoy the benefits of serving a wicked king. If he simply prophesied what Jeroboam would have liked to hear, he may have been able to “eat bread” a...
Even though we will not be personally called by God and given a message directly from the Holy Spirit, we can certainly make applications from Amos’ example. First, we must remember that our message is against everyone. Or course, in reality, the gospel we preach is for everyone (Mark 16:15; Acts 10:34-35). But it will be perceived as being against...
Though he had a message that was offensive and unwelcome, Amos spoke out. Despite the fact that he had no allies and no financial support to ease his burden, Amos spoke out. And even though God called him to deliver a message of judgment that he wished himself was not true, Amos spoke out. Let us learn from the example of the prophet Amos so that w...
Amaziah Accuses Amos … 14 “I was not a prophet,” Amos replied, “nor was I the son of a prophet; rather, I was a herdsman and a tender of sycamore-fig trees. 15 But the LORD took me from following the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’ 16 Now, therefore, hear the word of the LORD.

‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’ Every book of the Prophets has a particular personality, a particular tone that conveys its message as much as do the words themselves. The prophet Isaiah wrote about God’s salvation of His people through Messiah. The prophet Jeremiah wrote about God’s despair over lives gone wrong in sin.
