As Christians we need to be aligned with God's purpose (the coming of His Kingdom). That means we need to come into action. We can't afford to be sleeping on the job.
The prophet Jonah was disobedient to God's calling on his life. He turned his back on God and he didn't align with God's purpose for Nineveh. Eventually he was sleeping in the ship, escaping his duties, sailing in the opposite direction.
Bible teacher Derek Prince points out that there are a lot of Jonah's in the world today. People who know perfectly well, that God has called them. However, they're fast asleep in their boats. Are you one of them?
Jesus teaches us to seek first the Kingdom of God. The world is in turmoil, just like the sea in the story of Jonah. Man can't solve this storm by himself. We would like to build our own kingdom to solve these problems. But that's useless. We need to be alined with God's purposes, seek His Kingdom first. But how do we seek this Kingdom? And how can we commit to this Kingdom of God? Derek happend to be a teacher and his teaching reached practically every nation on earth. That's the practical outworking in his life. You are called by God to do something else, but are you alined to that purpose, that calling on your life right now?
Are you aligned with God's purpose or are you fast asleep in the boat?
