NO PLACE LIKE THE PRESENCE OF GOD

There is no place like the presence of the Lord. We must never stray away from God's presence.

Jonah fled from Gods presence because He did not want to do God's bidding to go to Nineveh. He went down to Joppa. You know every time we run from God's will, we go down. Isaac ran to Egypt in the time of famine and the bible records He went down. Many are going down today because they are fleeing from Gods will.

Do you know that Jonah had a false sense of security? When the storm was on and everyone else in the ship called on their God Jonah was sound asleep in the boat. Yes I agree that Jesus slept in the storm but I believe He did sleep in the storm because He already prayed through the storm. You need to break that spirit of slumber and arise into strong and prevailing prayers. Rise up and stand in prayer for your Nation, your community, your family and for your destiny. The unbelievers in the boat all called on their gods. Maybe you are not aware most people around you move with certain powers and dabble into things that you would not believe and you as a believer cannot be careless with your prayer life. Go back to the place of prayer. You will be shocked that the unbelievers in the boat called Jonah a sleeper. They said oh sleeper arise. May I also say sleeping Christian arise into prayer.

Would you believe that when Jonah decided eventually to obey God and go minister in Nineveh. Something powerful happened. In Chapter three Verse 4 Nineveh was a three days journey. But when Jonah stood up in obedience, God shortened the journey to One day.

Beloved running away from Gods presence makes the journey longer and staying in Gods presence makes the journey of life shorter and smoother.

A word is enough for the wise!!!

Be blessed
