FAITH CAPSULE: Stop snubbing God in your way of living life which God has given you!

Jonah 1

There is no better way to describe iniquity before God and not waiting on God as snubbing God. Are you one that iniquity and not waiting on God speaks to you?
SNUBBING GOD IS INIQUITY BEFORE God. Job made us to realize it that, there is no hiding place for iniquity as stated in Job 34:22, “There is no darkness nor shadow of death Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.” It is impossible to hide from God when man engages iniquity.
Jonah was an example that snubbed God and could not hide from God. When God calls one, it is important for one to rest in God’s direction knowing that God does not call anyone to hide away from Him. To hide from God’s calling is snubbing God just like Jonah did. To hide from God is turning back to God by walking away from the presence of God.
Despite Jonah’s hearing from the presence of God could not stop him from snubbing God. It is written, “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord…” (Jonah 1:1-3) In snubbing God, Jonah was substituted into fish as recorded in Jonah 1:17, “Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.” Before God, there is no where workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
SNUBBING GOD IS A FAILURE NOT TO BE WAITING ON GOD: Not waiting on God is snubbing God. One that does not remember God do not wait on God. The Israelites could not remember the works of God; Israelites could not wait for the wonderful counsel of God to take charge over their life. It is written, “They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert.” (Psalm 106:13-14)
Ones that does not remember God does not give regard to consider the works of God. It is written, “The harp and the strings, the tambourine and the flute, and wine are in their feasts; but they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor consider the operation of His hands. Therefore, my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.” (Isaiah 5:12-13) When there is no regard to the word of God there will be no regret for not doing God’s word. The Israelites snubbed God to become substituted from God’s Promised Land to wilderness Journey of forty years where twenty years above were terminated. (Numbers 14:29)

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace not to be a victim of walking against the word of God.
