Let us engage in a short exercise of deductive reasoning using our friend Jonah. (I would suggest as you read through you
interchange the name with your own name for it to soak in.
In the realm of eternity, God designed a purpose called Saving Nineveh
Saving Nineveh could only happen by the inhabitants hearing the message of repent and be saved.
God identified His dove (remember chapter 1 about names) to deliver the message
In coming to earth the dove was named Jonah and it was placed close to Nineveh
After a period of struggle, Jonah accepted his assignment and went ahead to execute
The Holy Spirit reminds Jonah the words describing God (You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in
lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm)
God reveals His nature to Jonah
Jonah finally grasps the bigger picture and all is well
Truth be told, if my calling was in business/ the market place/ the corporate world, there is no one I would rather have for a bosom
friend than the Holy Spirit. If He has exposure to all the information about the present, future, my competitors, my partners, my
suppliers, my customers, my business… what am I doing not having Him in me as I have the air that I breathe?
His absence from my calling is suicidal!
