"Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me."But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so HE PAID THE FARE, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD."
The safest place on earth is living in the centre of God's will for your life.
Obedience to God guarantees our safety in life. Living in disobedience to God is the most expensive thing and most dangerous thing in this world.
When you are walking in divine instructions, you will keep enjoying increase angelic activities.
But living in disobedience to God is living where the devil can hurt you.
The story of Prophet Jonah' illustrates this truth fully to us.
God sent Jonah to Nineveh. But Jonah arose and flee to Tarshish from the presence of God. So living in disobedience is living outside of the presence of God. And outside of His presence, every evil is present.
We also read that Jonah paid his fare and went down. When you are in disobedience to God, you will have to pay your fare and sponsor yourself. But in obedience to God we enjoy divine sponsorship.
Shalom
