```TEXT:JONAH 3:6-10```

```KEY VERSE:``` _*"And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not" (JONAH 3:10).*_

*In his book, Timothy Jennings, a psychiatrist and Christian author, writes of the danger of unrecognised heart conditions: "Hypertension - high blood pressure - has been called the silent killer, but medical professionals didn't always realise this. In fact, some doctors argued that hypertension was a made-up disorder that didn't need to be treated at all". For instance, in 1931 Dr. John J. Hay, a British senior physician proclaimed: "The greatest danger to a man with high blood pressure lies in its discovery, because then some fool is certain to try and reduce it." Tragic results followed from this reckless statement which some experts now argue was taken out of context. Further medical studies later provided better answers that have facilitated the treatment of those conditions.*

*This applies to the way Jonah's fiery preaching of impending judgment upon sinful Nineveh triggered a change of heart after years of impudence and stonewalling. Nineveh was on God's agenda for severe judgment. That was the case, until the reluctant Prophet Jonah, came with his fiery message of doom. Although Jonah did not provide any panacea that could encourage hope in the Ninevites, nonetheless, they heeded the call of their king, who proclaimed a fast to plead for forgiveness. The response of the king was immediate and decisive: he ordered a national dry fast (no food or water) and charged everyone to "cry mightily to God." He understood that conviction must be followed by confession, prayer for pardon and the forsaking of past sins. His rhetorical question of whether God would pardon should be seen as a sinner's acknowledgement of the depth of his depravity and God's absolute prerogative to forgive sins. It was not the fasting that brought God's forgiveness and mercy, but the genuine repentance.*

*Living around the precipice of danger, while holding on to a wrong assumption, can be damnable. So also is the careless attitude of dismissing a serious situation without probing further. God expects the sinner to respond to the gospel message, rather than believing all is well because they do not feel any danger in the present. Very important too is the need for us to preach the word of salvation very clearly, so the world can be acquainted with the danger they face. The impact of the Word is the conviction of hearts as seen in the text. No conversion can take place without the proclaimed gospel, which brings conviction and godly sorrow for sins, confession and turning away from sin to the Saviour.*

*In our current dispensation of grace, sinners should not doubt God's willingness to pardon, if they come in the name of Jesus Christ, who shed His blood for mankind. Neither should they doubt God's readiness to judge sinners who refuse to heed His warnings.*
