What is Your Nineveh?

The Story of Jonah

PURSUIT OF DESTINY

YHWH told Jonah to preach to Nineveh that they would be destroyed for their wickedness. Jonah runs away…far, far away…

After all the deviations, detours and failures he faces when trying to run away, he finally gets there and begins to preach of the city’s doom. The people believe and repent, the King believed and declared a fast, the whole city cried out to YHWH for mercy. YHWH relents and does not destroy them.

YHWH relentlessly pursues us when we run from him. The purpose for which he called us WILL come to pass. What is your Nineveh, what have you been running from?

REWARDS OF DESTINY

Jonah is angry! He’s been sitting around, waiting to see the fulfilment of the punishment he spoke over the city. In his eyes, he has lost his credibility now that what he spoke would not come to pass. He is too angry to even appreciate YHWH’s kindness and provision.

What is the value of our credibility (as we see it) against an entire city’s salvation? Angels in heaven rejoice over one sinner that’s saved. How much more important is our obedience over our ego, reputation or anything we hold dear?

Just as we have no right to judge, neither do we have any right to withhold or refuse to share YHWH’s love and grace with another, regardless of how it makes us appear. Nineveh awaits you!

Ephesians 2:8-10 (NKJV)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of YHWH, not of works lest anyone should boast.

For we are His workmanship, created in YHWH Messiah for good works, which YHWH prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
