Jonah 1

 

In going right with God all will go right with you. And, when you go wrong with God all will go wrong with you. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ which is the Love of God, in combination of  the sweet fellowship the Holy Spirit is what a believer needs on everyday basis for them not to go  the wrong way. Jonah was called by God, and he heard from God, but was hard on God. He was called to go to Nineveh but he fled to Tarshish. At every time a man takes onto his course instead of GodÕs course, man will end up cursed. Jonah did not put only himself in the line of destruction ,but all the people that were on the ship were in the face of dangerous storm. Jonah was carrying the mark of disobedience. What is it that you are running away from? Have you taken a run from His presence? Can you specifically identify any clear and specific direction that has been placed upon your life? Jonah knew that he was the target of the violent storm; he could no longer run away from his disobedience. As a believer, you will know if indeed you are the cause of storm in any vessel of transportation. Jonah was requested of what could be done to bring peace and quiet in the storm. Jonah requested in Jonah 1:12, ÒAnd he said to them, ÒPick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me.ÓÓ Without any doubt, you will know if you are the cause of storm. God has not called you on a journey over the water and it does not matter how far you have gone on the water, He will bring you back to a dry land. A dry land is where He wants to establish your footing. Jonah was thrown into the sea where he spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish. The Bible says in Jonah 2:1, ÒSo the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. Where has he called you to go? Jonah was not called onto a journey over the water but on dry land. He will catch up with you just like He did with Jonah.
