When Will We Wake Up

When Will We Wakeup

Text: Jonah 1:6

Introduction: Everyone knows Jonah ran from God’s call to go to Ninevah and cry against the city; however, not many christians know the rest of the story. When Jonah ran he went on a ship that was heading the opposite way of God’s call. While on board he went below to his cabin and slept. Outside a storm was brewing like never before. so bad was the storm that the crew of the ship thaught they were going to die. Jonah just continued to sleep like any other day he didn’t even know his life was in danger until the shipmaster came and told him to wake up and pray that God would let them live. Jonah almost cost the life of everyone on board that day until he decided to listen to God.

I. Today we have a great storm in our country

morality is a thing of the past. The bible says in the last day they would call good evil and evil good. we surely see that happening today don’t we. Our past president who is only a reflection of the people he leads was guilty of the grossest morality in politics seen in our lifetime. He was guily of fornication, adultry, and most likely murder if we are to believe alot of reports. The storm in our country is killing babies every day. millions have been sent by our hands to meet God. Oh the storm that is killing our people. AND WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE FAST ASLEEP
