Amos was commissioned by the Lord - “Go, prophesy to My people Israel” (Amos 7:15).
The purpose of such prophecy, in our generation, is to declare the
Gospel: “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were
still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
If this message of love is to be brought to the people, the preacher
must pray: “Teach me Your way, O Lord, and I will walk in Your truth
...” (Psalm 86:11).
The power of God was upon Elisha. God was at work in mighty power. When we red about Elisha, we say, in our hearts, ‘This is not about Elisha. This is about God - - God working through Elisha.’ We must always remember to give all the glory to the Lord. The praise does not belong to the servant. It belongs to the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise.
