Topic :Dangers Of Walking In Disobedience.

Memory Verse :Jonah 1:4. But the Lord sent a strong wind on the sea, and the storm was so violent that the ship was in danger of breaking up.

Bible Reading :Jonah 1:1-3 GNB. Key Verse : v2.

One day the Lord spoke to Jonah son of Amittai. He said, “Go to Nineveh, that great city, and speak out against it; I am aware how wicked its people are.” Jonah, however, set out in the opposite direction in order to get away from the Lord. He went to Joppa, where he found a ship about to go to Spain. He paid his fare and went aboard with the crew to sail to Spain, where he would be away from the Lord.

The Lord sent Jonah on errand. The Lord wanted him to go to Nineveh and deliver a message of warning to the people of the land whose ungodliness and wickedness he was about to punish. Jonah instead of obeying the voice of God decided to go contrary. He decided to run to Joppa where he boarded a ship that was Spain bound, intending to escape from the presence of the Lord and from doing his will. Because he was in rebellion against God, everything that God created began to work against him including the sea. “But the Lord sent a strong wind on the sea, and the storm was so violent that the ship was in danger of breaking up. The sailors were terrified and cried out for help, each one to his own god. Then, in order to lessen the danger, they threw the cargo overboard. Meanwhile, Jonah had gone below and was lying in the ship’s hold, sound asleep.” Jonah 1:4-5.

In the midst of the turbulent tempest, Jonah sneaked into a hidden part of the ship to sleep, while the rest of the crew on board was calling on God and making every possible efforts to remedy the ship from sinking. They were already throwing away their goods to lighten the ship when they stumbled on sleeping Jonah who pretended to be ignorant of the cause of the troubles they were going through. When they couldn’t bear it any longer because everything needed to remedy the situation refused to work, they decided to find out who was responsible for the trouble that befell them. When they cast lots, Jonah was taken and they made efforts to find out what the problem was with him. “The captain found him there and said to him, “What are you doing asleep? Get up and pray to your god for help. Maybe he will feel sorry for us and spare our lives.” The sailors said to one another, “Let’s draw lots and find out who is to blame for getting us into this danger.” They did so, and Jonah’s name was drawn.” Jonah 1:6-7.

““I am a Hebrew,” Jonah answered. “I worship the Lord, the God of heaven, who made land and sea.” Jonah went on to tell them that he was running away from the Lord.The sailors were terrified, and said to him, “That was an awful thing to do!” The storm was getting worse all the time, so the sailors asked him, “What should we do to you to stop the storm?” Jonah answered, “Throw me into the sea, and it will calm down. I know it is my fault that you are caught in this violent storm.”” Jonah 1:9-12. They were hesitant because they didn’t want Jonah to perish in the process. When they knew that Jonah’s presence can destroy everyone on board, they had to unwilling throw Jonah into the sea, and the sea calmed down immediately. Sometimes we run into trouble waters in life because we walk in disobience. Anytime we disobey the voice of God, his grace and favour withdraws from us and we open the doors of attacks that can destroy a man or people. “Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.” 2 Corinthians 10:6 TPT.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you created me to live to honour and obey you. Keep me from the paths of disobedience all my days. Help me to obey every word that comes from you so that I can always enjoy your grace and mercy all my days in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
