In this brief sermon, the speaker highlights Amos’s unexpected divine commission (Amos 7:14‑15), noting that Amos was a farmer with no prophetic lineage when God called him to proclaim righteousness and justice. The message extends this pattern to modern “marketplace prophets”—teachers, creatives, and entrepreneurs—who are similarly called from ordinary daily work to speak truth. The speaker warns that such callers can fall into the pitfall of rejecting formal training, relying solely on self‑teaching, and urges listeners to write a single sentence that captures the truth they feel called to declare, then pray it until it becomes a firm conviction.

Chapters

Number 3, the commissioned prophet, Amos. We see Amos in Amos chapter 7, verse 14 and 15, and this is what it says. I was neither a prophet nor the son of one, but the Lord said, go. Amos was a farmer until God interrupted his ordinary routine. Marketplace prophets, teachers, creatives, Entrepreneurs are called from daily life to speak righteousness and justice. God forms boldness wrapped in humility. Now hear me, the pitfall of this type of prophet is rejecting training because I'm self-taught. Write one sentence that summarizes the truth God's calling you to stand for and declare it in prayer until it becomes conviction.
