    Jonah prays from inside the great fish. When we realize that God wants us to accomplish something, we ought not to run.

    Fear the God – Respect 2:1-9 At the beginning of chapter 1, we see Jonah as The Protesting Prophet. He did not want to go to Nineveh as directed by God. It is noted in verse three that he “rose up to flee…from the Presence of the Lord.” Jonah had sinned by running from God. However, we can see ...read more

    Just as the biblical figure Jonah was summoned to the city of Nineveh to deliver a message of repentance, today's spiritual Nineveh represents a population that may lack understanding or awareness of moral and ethical principles.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Jonah 1:1-4) (1) “Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,” (2) “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.” (3) “But ...read more

    Yes, Jesus accepted this world for what it is, for what we made it … twisted, broken, and full of hurt … but He so loves the world that He came to die for our sins on the cross, not to condemn us but that we might be saved through Him.

    A Way To Revival

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 25, 2025
     | 365 views

    Imagine a city so entrenched in its ways that the very notion of change seems radical, if not impossible. Yet, through the obedience of Jonah, a reluctant prophet, and the subsequent repentance of the Ninevites, we witness one of the most powerful revivals in biblical history.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: God revived me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the so many lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way ...read more
