SCRIPTURE TEXT: Jonah 1:2 God told Jonah to get up and go to the great city of Nineveh! Announce my judgement against it because I have seen how wicked it's people are.
TODAY'S POST: Let's look at Judgement. The definition of jugement is observing behavior and then pronouncing a punishment because of it. God wanted Jonah to announce his judgement against the people----WHY? Because of their wickedness/behavior. You see; we know that God sees and knows all; but we somehow take Him for granted because he has been so long suffering with us, and with the people. But there does come a time; I believe that God will put a stop to our foolishness/sin if we won't take heed his warnings. There are christians, pastors, deacons, church secretaries etc that are operating on treacherous grounds. Why? Because they are willingly practicing sin in their lives, and they think that the Lord will continue to have mercy. That is why you have seen many celebrity ministers fall from grace. Don't think that they didn't get a prophectic warning from God many times over. These warnings let them know that they were on dangerous grounds; headed for destructions and to turn from your wicked ways. If they continued on their course then their destruction is on their own hands because they were warned.
Some Churches are operating with manpower instead of by the spirit. Sin runs rampid from the pulpits to the back doors; although, the building is still standing; I believe God will send his angels to write the Icabob above the door post- which means the spirit of the Lord don't dwell here anymore. That is God's judgement; or take for instance a if a person keeps practicing an inquity for a long, long time---constantly ignoring the Holy Spirit to get it right-then judgement from the Lord will soon come. God says that he will; not man; but he will turn them over to a reprobated mind. What I am saying in this text that God loved the people enough to send a prophet to give them a warning of destruction because of their wicked ways if they didn't repent. God is still saying the same thing today; yes he is merciful, but he is also Holy too and He hates sin. So if you are practicing sin willingly; then know this: that God sees you like he seen Nineveh. IF YOU WON'T GET IT RIGHT THEN GOD'S JUDGEMENT WILL FALL UPON YOU; AND WE KNOW ACCORDING TO THE WORD; "IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD. Hebrews 10:31. GBU
