Study10B...Jonah's deliverance
Jonah 2:1-9..
Please take note of this study,God bless you and have a nice day...
God called to Jonah one day and told him to go preach to Nineveh because the people were very wicked. Jonah hated this idea because Nineveh was one of Israel's greatest enemies and Jonah wanted nothing to do with preaching to them!
Jonah tried to run away from God in the opposite direction of Nineveh and headed by boat to Tarsish. God sent a great storm upon the ship and the men decided Jonah was to blame so they threw him overboard. As soon as they tossed Jonah in the water, the storm stopped.
Below are what Bro Jonah action after....
2 . Jonah’’ s urgent prayer
It is important to compare Jonah 1:17 with Jonah 2:1. How urgent this man’’s prayer was! –- and he only made his prayer to the Lord when he was really in a tight fix. Look up and read Psalm 107 and particularly notice verses 6,13,19,20, and then the closing verse, verse 43. Concerning Jonah’’s prayer notice:-
(1) The place of his praying. We get this in Jonah 2:1. What a strange prayer-chamber! Daniel prayed in his house (Daniel 6:10); Peter prayed on the rooftop (Acts 10:9); Lydia prayed by the riverside (Acts 16:13); Paul prayed in prison (Philippians 1:4); Jesus prayed on the mountain top (Luke 6:12); but Jonah –- he prayed from the inside of a fish! This reminds us that we can pray anywhere and in any time of trouble.
(2) The faith in his praying. Here is something important. Jonah was God’’s servant, in spite of the fact that he was disobedient. He knew that the Lord would hear his prayer if it was offered sincerely, penitently, with confession and in faith. His prayer was God-directed (Jonah 2:1); it was offered in faith (Jonah 2:4); it was offered in the light of what God was going to do for him (Jonah 2:9). When Jonah prayed he rejoiced in the fact that “”Salvation comes from the Lord””. He had faith to believe that He could and would save him from his trouble. All appearances were against him and he was still in the fish, but God would get him out!
(3) The answer to his praying. We get this in Jonah 2:10. What a great answer it was! –- immediate, dramatic and miraculous! God is very gracious, in spite of our disobedience (Jonah 4:2), and compare Psalm 145:8-9. But most of all God’’s grace and graciousness are seen in the next point.
3 . Jonah’’ s second chance
What wonderful words are recorded in Jonah 3:1! He was given a second chance after his disobedience; so was Peter after his denial (John 21:15-17); Thomas after his doubt (John 20:24-29); John Mark after his desertion (2 Timothy 4:11). There is a second chance for you if you will come back to the Lord in penitence and faith. What do we see about Jonah’’s second chance?
(1) It was unexpected. It was certainly more than he could have hoped for. He believed God would deliver him but he could not have expected that God would recommission him.
(2) It was undeserved. How completely undeserved it was for Jonah; and how completely undeserving we are of the Lord’’s gracious dealings with us!
(3) It was unequivocal. There was no doubt about it. It seemed too good to be true, but it was true!
So Jonah got out of his trouble; and if your trouble has come upon you because of disobedience and distrust you may get out of your trouble and back into the plan and purpose of God for your life if you will turn to Him with all your heart –- look up and compare 2 Chronicles 30:9 and Joel 2:12-13.
What's your resolution?
May God bless you
