ARE YOU GOING DOWN?

"But the Lord has sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken" Jonah 1:4. Like Jonah, we are called to preach to people who'd rather hear something different. But running away didn't work for Jonah, and it won't work for us either. If God has to, He will shipwreck our plans in order to get us to go where we need to go, and say what He called us to say. My friend, now you know what is happening to your life. Tada. For you: 1) Nineveh is whatever pulls you out of your comfort zone 2) The place God calls where you don't want to go. 3) Is the people who have hurt you deeply and God says, "Go and give them my message". Did I diagnosed your problem brother? Stop that excuses man. Don't tell me like Jonah "I have peace in my heart about this decision or Look at the circumstances, I have money. The ship just happened to be there. It must be God's will". Notice four times we see this phrase "He went DOWN" to Joppa, went DOWN into the hold of the ship, went DOWN into the sea, and went DOWN into the belly of the great fish. Are you going down?? God's goal is not our comfort; it's producing in us character of Christ so the world will be drawn to Him. If you feel like your nest is shaking or you are getting grounded, well hum...the missionary in me came out today. Like · · Share
