Never run away...!

Jonah 1:1-4 NKJV

Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord . He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord . But the Lord sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.

† Shalom †......! Day #14. Do you know that when you run away from the presence of God and from all His plans and purposes for your life,  He knows how to bring you back again? Let us pray.  Father,  forgive us for running away from Your initial plans and purposes for our lives. We repent and we come back to You now because we know there's nowhere to run.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, we are walking the 14th day of 2015 and as we walk this day, let us commit our lives totally to God and to abide His perfect plans for us. For example, Many of us may have a certain criteria of how should our life partner be. Let me tell you something, if you allow God to do something with the criteria's you wanted in your life partner, He will give you the best you can ever have. Likewise friends, let us commit our lives totally to God so that He can have His ways in our lives. Our ways are not His ways, our plans are not His plans.

In today's verse, we see that at the beginning of Jonah's calling he tried to runaway from God's plans. He went through hard times when he ran away from God's presence,  plans and purposes. I did ran away from God's calling and I live a miserable 8 years. And when God encountered me once again, then I've decided to serve fulltime. When you run away, God knows how to bring you back. In Jonah's case, God had to send a great wind on the sea, just to aligned Jonah back to his calling and purposes. In this 2015, let us reevaluate our calling and the ministry we do. If you've been running away from your calling, NOW IS THE TIME for you to choose the Lord's plans and purposes and doing His will. God bless you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
