God sees everything and the scriptures says that “all things are laid bare to His eyes”. Nothing is hidden or covered up in the sight of God. In this Gospel preaching, you will hear the story of about the prophet Jonah. God asked Jonah to go a preach to Nineveh and call them to repentance but Jonah fled and ran from God. There are many people today who are running from God today. The glorious news of the Gospel is that God has drawn near to us in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. Our sins can be forgiven and peace can be given because of the completed work at Calvary.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Hebrews 4:12 “12 For the word of God [is] living and operative, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and penetrating to [the] division of soul and spirit, both of joints and marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of [the] heart. 13 And there is not a creature unapparent before him; but all things [are] naked and laid bare to his eyes, with whom we have to do.”
Jonah 1:1-17 “1 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,2 Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish, from the presence of Jehovah.4 But Jehovah sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest upon the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.6 And the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, sleeper? arise, call upon thy God; perhaps God will think upon us, that we perish not.7 And they said each one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.8 And they said unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us: what is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew, and I fear Jehovah, the God of the heavens, who hath made the sea and the dry [land].10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, What is this thou hast done? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of Jehovah: for he had told them.11 And they said unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that because of me this great tempest is upon you.13 But the men rowed hard to regain the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.14 And they cried unto Jehovah and said, Ah, Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, Jehovah, hast done as it pleased thee.15 And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.16 And the men feared Jehovah exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto Jehovah, and made vows.17 And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.”
Jonah 2:1-10 “2 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly;2 and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].”
