🖊️ AG Evangel Daily Meal 3 August 2024: COMMENTARY
Jonah, the son of Amittai, had the call from God to go to the city of Nineveh and call them to repentance so as to escape God’s judgment. He refused and headed towards Tarshish in a bid to escape from God’s presence. God, however, intercepted him with a storm but he preferred death to obeying God.
He said, “No” to the Author and Maker of his life. If you were God, how would you have treated Jonah? It is amazing that rather than kill or allow Jonah to die, God committed Himself to transforming the obstinate Jonah into a herald of the good news.
He sent a whale after Jonah and made him go through hell to bring him to the point of willingness to serve him.
Finally, Jonah assumed the missionary task; his preaching was graced with national repentance.
The king of Nineveh and the whole citizenry responded to Jonah’s
message. Jonah’s story is reflective of the New Testament church who has various ways of evading God’s command to speak the message of salvation to the dying world.
Today, as in the days of Jonah, so many people are ripe for harvest. “Go ye” is still the command. Will you be another Jonah? Won’t you make a choice today to make His last command your first concern?

Forgive me, cleanse me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I turn away from my sinful ways and open my heart to You. Take control of my life and guide me in Your truth.
