SATURDAY 24TH NOVEMBER 2018 MORNING
Amos 2:1-5 New International Version (NIV)
1This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Moab,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he burned to ashes
the bones of Edom’s king,
2 I will send fire on Moab
that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a]
Moab will go down in great tumult
amid war cries and the blast of the trumpet.
3 I will destroy her ruler
and kill all her officials with him,”
says the Lord.
4 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Judah,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord
and have not kept his decrees,
because they have been led astray by false gods,[b]
the gods[c] their ancestors followed,
5 I will send fire on Judah
that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem.”
Footnotes:
Amos 2:2 Or of her cities
Amos 2:4 Or by lies
Amos 2:4 Or lies
These are word of judgement pronounced upon the nation of Moab and upon Judah. Notice especially what God says about Judah. They have rejected His law and decrees and been lead astray by idols.
Think about yourself. Do you obey God’s commands? Do you love His Word in the Bible. Or are you tempted by other gods? Do you value your money and possessions too much? Are you tempted to give bribes and to gain money by dishonest means. Ask God to help you truly put Him first in your life.

Amosi 2:1-5
1 Haya ndiyo asemayo Bwana; Kwa makosa matatu ya Moabu, naam, kwa manne, sitaizuia adhabu yake isimpate; kwa sababu aliichoma moto mifupa ya mfalme wa Edomu hata ikawa chokaa;
2 lakini nitapeleka moto juu ya Moabu, nao utayateketeza majumba ya Keriothi; na Moabu atakufa pamoja na mshindo, na kelele, na sauti ya tarumbeta;
3 nami nitamkatilia mbali mwamuzi atoke kati yake, nami nitawaua wakuu wake pamoja naye, asema Bwana.
4 Haya ndiyo asemayo Bwana; Kwa makosa matatu ya Yuda, naam, kwa manne, sitaizuia adhabu yake isimpate; kwa sababu wameikataa sheria ya Bwana; wala hawakuzishika amri zake; na maneno yao ya uongo yamewakosesha, ambayo baba zao waliyafuata;
5 lakini nitapeleka moto juu ya Yuda, nao utayateketeza majumba ya Yerusalemu.
