FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>A disobedience to the word of God is to depart from Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonah 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manifestly, fleeing from the presence of God is to be presentable for the adversary of man.
Jonah failed before God when he walked against the command of God.
Disobedience to God is making a choice that is the opposite of living life for God.
A failure is self-created for self-destruction.
A failure to obey is without exception.
A failure to obey does have consequences.
Jonah, a prophet in the hand of God, failed to obey the word of God and experienced the consequence before God.
Without doubt, the word of God is God.
Hearing and listening to the word of God is to obey the word of God, to assess the presence of God.
The Bible records in Jonah 1:1, \u201cNow the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, \u201cArise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
God called on Jonah, but he failed to answer the calling.
The disobedience of Jonah to the word of God was a departure from the presence of God.
Departure from the presence of God will lead to destruction.
The departure of Jonah states,\u201c\u2026Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.\u201d (Jonah 1:3)<\/em><\/strong>
Manifestly, fleeing from the presence of God is to be presentable for the adversary of the sinner.
The disobedience of Jonah became part of the vehicle of transportation.
Who is in your company?
Are you riding with sinners before God?
It can be dangerous to engage sinners before God.
The disobedience of Jonah set the passengers up for destruction.
Jonah was the result of the trouble during the storm.
Despite disobedience, Jonah claimed in Jonah 1:9, \u201cSo he said to them, \u201cI am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
To know God and not obey is no excuse for the consequences.
Jonah was heading in the direction of self-destruction.
God is the only creator of man, the commander with the expectation of obedience before Him.
God expects all to be obedient always to His command.
Before God, there is no excuse for disobedience but consequences. Before God, there is hope for one who gives self to repentance before God.
Are you a present-day Jonah?
Are you a conscious obedience or disobedience of the word of God? Disobeying builds for disobedience to the word of God.
Do not take a position of self-destruction.
Obeying the living word of God is walking on a ground that does not fail or falter for the obedient children of God.
In the journey of life, obey the word of God to avoid self-destruction.
Do not be a victim of disobedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for today: <\/strong>Ask God for the strength that enables your obedience to His command continually.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
