2. Amos 7-9, and Revelation 8
https://www.biblegateway.com/reading-plans/old-new-testament/2024/12/16
PN 2). In Amos 7, 8, and 9, God makes powerful promises to His People, Israel. In Amos 7:15, the Lord promises to raise up a Prophet (referring to Jesus Christ) from among their brothers, who will speak on His Behalf. This promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who came to earth to save humanity.
• In Amos 8:11-12, God promises a famine, not one of food or water, but of hearing the Words of the Lord. This serves as a reminder to always seek Him and His Word, as it is our Sustenance and Guide in life.
• In Amos 9:13, God promises Restoration and Prosperity to His People, Israel. This promise shows His Faithfulness and Love for His People, even in times of discipline and judgment.
• Revelation 8 describes the opening of the seventh seal, and the seven angels who are given seven trumpets. In Revelation 8:3-5, we see an Angel offering incense with the prayers of the saints on the golden altar before God. This passage reminds us of the power of Prayer and the importance of seeking God in all things.
Pentecostal Christians can find practical applications in these passages by trusting in God’s Promises, seeking Him through prayer, and staying faithful to His Word. Just as God fulfilled His Promises to Israel, He will also fulfil His Promises to us, as His beloved Children.
Therefore, let us daily seek God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit in Prayer, study His Word diligently, and trust in His Promises for our lives. In doing so, we can experience His Faithfulness, Love, and Provision in every aspect of our daily living.
LET’S PRAY:
1. Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Mercy and Grace as seen in Amos 7:4. Scatter every plan of the enemy against our lives and families in Jesus Name.

5. Lord of hosts, we cry out to You in accordance with Amos 9:9. Restore and rebuild what the enemy has destroyed in our lives. Let Your Glory shine forth in every area of our existence.

3. Obadiah, and Revelation 9
https://www.biblegateway.com/reading-plans/old-new-testament/2024/12/17
PN 3). In the book of Obadiah, we see the prophecy concerning the downfall of Edom, who had mistreated their brother Jacob. This emphasizes God’s Justice and Protection over His Chosen People. In Revelation 9, we read about the fifth and sixth trumpets, which bring forth intense Suffering and Judgment upon those who do not Repent.
God’s Promises:
1. Protection: “But refugees will live on Mount Zion. It will be holy. The descendants of Jacob will get back their possessions.” (Obadiah 1:17).
2. Judgment: “The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They seemed to have crowns that looked like gold on their heads. Their faces were like human faces.” (Revelation 9:7).
Interpretation:
• These passages remind us that God is a just God who will protect His People and bring judgment upon those who oppress them. It serves as a warning to those who do not Repent and turn to Him.
Practical Applications for Daily Living:
1. Trust in God’s Protection: Just as God protected the house of Jacob, we can trust that He will also protect us in times of trouble.
2. Repentance: The Judgment described in Revelation serves as a reminder for us to constantly Examine our hearts, Repent of our sins, and turn back to God.
Powerful Prayer Bullets for Pentecostal Believers:

4. Jonah 1-4,Revelation 10
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jonah%201-4%2CRevelation%2010&version=NOG
PN 4). In Jonah 1, we see how God called Jonah to go to Nineveh, but Jonah tried to flee from the Lord’s Presence by boarding a ship to Tarshish. However, the Lord sent a great storm that threatened the ship and the lives of the sailors. This part of Jonah’s story reminds us of God’s Sovereignty and how He will always accomplish His Plans, regardless of our attempts to run away. It also shows the importance of obeying God’s Call and not trying to go against His Will.
In Jonah 2, we witness Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the fish. Despite his disobedience, Jonah cries out to the Lord from the depths of Sheol, and God hears his plea. This chapter illustrates God’s Mercy and Compassion, as He rescues Jonah and provides him with a second chance. It teaches us that even in our lowest moments, we can turn to God for help and restoration.
Jonah 3 portrays Jonah’s obedience as he preaches to the people of Nineveh, warning them of God’s Impending Judgment. To Jonah’s surprise, the Ninevites repent of their wicked ways, and God relents from destroying the city. This narrative demonstrates God’s Graciousness and Willingness to forgive those who turn to Him in sincerity. It encourages us to spread the message of Repentance and Salvation to others, trusting in God’s Power to transform hearts.
In Jonah 4, we observe Jonah’s displeasure at God’s Decision to spare Nineveh. Despite witnessing the Ninevites’ Repentance, Jonah becomes angry and questions God’s Compassion. God responds by teaching Jonah about His Love for all people, including those considered enemies. This chapter challenges us to examine our attitudes towards others and reminds us of God’s Unconditional Love for humanity.
Revelation 10 introduces a mighty Angel with a small scroll, symbolizing God’s Power and Authority over all creation. The Angel announces that there will be no more delay in God’s Plan to bring His Judgment and Redemption to completion. This chapter emphasizes the inevitability of God’s Sovereign purposes and the importance of being prepared for His Coming Kingdom.
In studying these passages, Pentecostal believers can draw several lessons for daily living:
1. Trust in God’s Sovereignty and submit to His Will, knowing that He is in control of all circumstances.
2. Seek God’s Mercy and Forgiveness in times of disobedience, recognizing His Willingness to Restore and Redeem.
3. Share the message of Repentance and Salvation with others, trusting in God’s Power to transform hearts.
4. Embrace God’s Compassion and Love for all people, showing Kindness and Grace to those around us.
5. Prepare for the fulfilment of God’s Ultimate Plan for Judgment and Redemption, staying vigilant and faithful in our walk with Him.
May these insights from Jonah and Revelation inspire Pentecostal believers to deepen their faith, live out God’s promises, and proclaim His Truth to a world in need of His Saving Grace.
LET’S PRAY:
1. Almighty God, help me to obediently follow Your Call and not run from Your Presence like Jonah. (Jonah 1)
2. Lord Jesus, in my moments of distress, hear my cries for help and deliver me from the depths of despair just as You did for Jonah. (Jonah 2)
3. Holy Spirit, empower me to boldly proclaim Your Message of Repentance and Salvation to those around me, just like Jonah did in Nineveh. (Jonah 3)
4. Gracious God, soften my heart towards those I may consider enemies, and help me to show Your Love and Compassion to all, as You did with the people of Nineveh. (Jonah 4)
5. Sovereign God, prepare my heart and soul for Your Coming Kingdom and help me to stay faithful and vigilant as I await Your Return. (Revelation 10)
May these prayers uplift and guide Pentecostal believers in their walk with the Lord, strengthening their faith and commitment to serving Him wholeheartedly. Amen.
5 Micah 1-3,Revelation 11
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah%201-3%2CRevelation%2011&version=NOG
PN 5). Micah 1, 2, and 3 highlight the consequences of sin and disobedience, as well as the coming judgment on God’s People. Revelation 11 speaks about the two witnesses and the victory of God’s Kingdom despite the opposition.
God’s Promise: Despite the impending Judgment and Trials, God offers Redemption and Restoration to those who Repent and turn back to Him.

7. Micah 6-7, and Revelation 13
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah%206-7%2CRevelation%2013&version=NOG
PN 7). In Micah 6 and 7, we see God’s Promises of Justice, Mercy, and Forgiveness to His People. The Names of God Bible captures the essence of these promises:
1. God requires His People to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him (Micah 6:8). This promise reminds us of the importance of living in alignment with God’s Principles of Justice and Mercy.
2. Despite the sins of His People, God promises to forgive and show compassion to those who repent and turn back to Him (Micah 7:18-19). This promise gives us Hope that no matter how far we may have strayed, God is always ready to Forgive and Restore us.
