Many
times when I hear exposition made on the life and ministry of bro Jonah, I feel
most of the expositors do injustice to bro Jonah. Most of the commentary only
see bro Jonah as a disobedient servant of God who made a mistake and was
disciplined for it. And perhaps nothing positive about him. I have written
about this before that the chosen of the Lord doesn’t make mistake. Every move
that looks like a mistake for the chosen only become a mission.
Bro
Jonah was chosen of the Lord to take the message to the people of Nineveh who
had strayed from God’s will. Bro Jonah took off to Tarshish as against where
the Lord sent him. Isn’t that a big mistake of his life? But there is something
you must understand “Being chosen makes you sacred”. He chose him, not Jonah
choosing Him. When he chooses a man, there is no escape route.
