HIS PRESENCE YOUR GREATEST ASSET

TOPIC: HIS PRESENCE, YOUR GREATEST ASSET

TEXT: " Jonah arose and flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD" .(Jonah 1:3)

As we begin this new year, its important that we realise that our greatest asset in fulfilling our dreams and destiny is the presence of God. But as important as that is,   many like Jonah still run from the presence of the Lord.
Why do people run away from God? Is it because of anger  disappointment, despair, disobedience, or a web of rebellion woven into our own desires?
The book of Jonah looks at a prophet who rejected God's call to deliver His word to the people of Nineveh. In the first chapter, we read that Jonah deliberately headed for Tarshish to run away from the Lord. He knew exactly where he was going and why. After been given a second chance(3:1-2), Jonah delivered God's message but reacted angrily when God spared the repentant city.(3:10; 4:2).
The book ends with Lord speaking to Jonah about His compassion; "Should I not pity Nineveh?"(4:1). But there was no indication that the disgruntled prophet changed his attitude. The people of Nineveh repented; Jonah did not. The story of Jonah should cause each of us to be brutally honest about our feelings towards the Lord. Do we harbour resentment for His leniency towards people we feel deserve Judgement? Have we forgotten that God Himself forgave us our sins? Are we ready to obey His call and leave the outcome to Him? The book of Jonah illuminates our reactions to God and measures our willingness to trust Him when we can't understand His ways. Sometimes its hard to trust the Lord when we don't understand; but fight the urge to run from Him--reach out and take His hand and let Him lead you to your place of destiny fulfillment this year. Happy New Year!
