Amós 7:14-15

Do you have ideas for change but feel powerless to implement them? Do you respect your leaders’ authority but yearn for them to see your vision? Leadership is not position. It’s influence. Learn from Jonathan, Amos, Joseph, David, and Jesus how to spark transformation. Regardless of your title, age, or qualifications, God has positioned you to make a difference. This devotional is by Influence coauthors Philip Morrison and Hankuri Gaya.

Written by the shepherd-prophet Amos, this book exposes Israel's sinful religious hypocrisy and corrupt leadership. Amos prophesies against their rejection of God's law and the terrible social injustice perpetrated against the poor and vulnerable. As Amos foretells judgment on many nations, including Israel, we are reminded of the ultimate need for restoration and the promise of greater redemption.

Amos’ leading exhortation is that God’s people must work to ensure that justice is practised in society. Throughout this plan, we shall be engaging with the book of Amos, looking at different media, helping you to get to the heart of this unique minor prophet.
