Obadiah 1; Jonah 1-3

God had asked Jonah to go to Ninevah to evangelize. Jonah refused and tried to get away from God’s call on his life. God dealt with Jonah through his dangerous sea journey and being swallowed by a great fish. After this trial, God renewed His request of Jonah.

God specifically wanted Jonah to go to Ninevah. Fred, Harry, or Louie were not God’s choices for the task. God had prepared this man Jonah for this task and wasn’t going to give up on him. So, God custom-made this trial to persuade Jonah.

God has a specific task and assignment for YOU. He is patient and will prepare circumstances that get you ready for your function. God won’t be late. He KNOWS how long it will take to get you ready.
