Story of Jonah:

Pastor’s thoughts:
- Put yourself in a position to walk in Destiny: You have a free will choice.
- Peter 2:8-9. If you accept Jesus as Lord of your life, then you have put yourself in a position of destiny. You are destined for eternal life. You are not destined for death and hell.
Story of Jonah:
- Jonah 1:1-17. Nineveh needed spiritual awakening. The city was in darkness but God destined Jonah to be the instrument that would take spiritual ground for God’s Kingdom.
- Jonah 3:1-10. Nineveh repents and God gave mercy to Nineveh.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- Jonah had a calling, a destiny to accomplish certain things for God’s Kingdom. (like we do)
- Jonah had a free will to obey or disobey. Jonah disobeyed and suffered the consequences.
- Jonah then obeyed after realizing disobedience leads to bad consequences.
- The result of Jonah’s obedience was that darkness in Nineveh was replaced by righteousness (repentance). Spiritual ground was taken.
- If you make bad choices, if you disobey God’s leading in your life, then the destiny God has planned for you will either never come to pass (because you have a free will), or will come to pass later after consequences (like Jonah).
