The Pouting Prophet
Jonah 4:1-11
Miles Seaborn
Introduction: Yogi Berra is the one who said, "It's not over until it's over.)
Are you one of those people who turn to the last chap- ter and/the end of the book to see how the story will end?
Endings are so enlightening to most of us. So when we turn to Chapter 4 and finish Verse 11, we are left hanging. Well. how did it and? What happened to Jonah? What happened to Nineveh?
Perhaps Jonah is one of those books that leaves it up to each individual to write the last verse.(Remember7 "Jonah was written by Jonah." We get the distinct im- pression that God had to go deeper with Jonah for him to learn life's lessons.
REVIEW: Ch. 1 Resignation. I will not do God's will. God's Providence You can't run away from God. Ch. 2 Repentance God's Pardon. God does forgive when we ask Him. Ch. 3 Revival God's Power. God is able to convert Nin- eveh. Ch. 4 Rebellion. It displeased Jonah greatly, and he became angry. God's Pity. Should I not be concerned a- bout that great city?
Chapter 1 - God got ahold of Jonah's mind. Knew what God wanted but wouldn't do it!
Chapter 2 - God got ahold of Jonah's will. The fish got ahold of Jonah and he said, "I will, I will, I will.

Chapter 4 - But God had not yet conquered Jonah's - heart!' Jonah had a heart problem. His heart was angry at God and the people who repented.
ILL. reason1 1) Patriotic - Jew, Israel's enemy. 2) Lord, make them example #1. Zap them, Lord! No love in his heart. Here you have a believer acting like an unbeliever.
I. WHAT DO WE SEE IN JONAHS LIFE? ANGER. ILL. ANGER. Jonah was not living on resur- rection ground; “Be angry and sin not. The worth Of man workeh not the righteousness of God.” Put off anger. Collossians.
1. Reasons for his anger
1) Incomplete surrender to God!
If there is one unsurrendered area in our life, Satan has a foothold. Neither give ...
