Revival Of Ruin (TURN Or Burn)
Jonah 3:4-10
Miles Seaborn
Introduction I read recently about two little boys who were talking about school. The youngest was just learning to spell "cat." The older boy, encountering some difficulty in his school work, said to the younger, "Don't learn to spell 'cat.' If you do, after that the words get harder and harder and harder."
We will never know all the reasons why Jonah, God's servant, rose up to flee in the opposite direction when God called him to go preach in Nineveh!
Maybe he was like the little/boy, and though if he surrendered to God's will .God would ask more difficult things of him. Fear? National pride of the Jews that we heard shared so clearly last Sunday? Other plan' for his life that God's calling would interfere with? But he did Flee now and pay later. And pay he did by having to enter Fish College to finally surrender to God’s will.
1:10, "And the Lord commanded the fish and it vom ited Jonah onto dry land."'
Three words outline Chapter 3: 1. Recommissioned. 1-2 2. Response. 3-4 3. Results. 5-10
RESPONSE "So Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh." v.3
God ha not asked us to evaluate the gospel or am- mend it (i.e. overturned, destroyed from the very foundation.)
(ILL. John Claypool, "Every generation needs to restate the Gospel in its own language and situation to make it relevant. Not so! The gospel is relevant in every generation and to every individual because all men in ever country and in every generation are lost without Christ.
There is still land will ways be only one way to be saved in 800 BC or 1986. Acknowledge that we have sinned and turn to Jesus for forgiveness, cleansing and conversion.
How does personal revival/cooperate revival love come? Always the same way. (If you are away from God, out of fellowship, how will it happen?)
