 THE EXCUSE:

THE TASK IS DEMANDING

• WHEN GOD SPOKE TO JONAH AND ASK HIM
TO GO TO NINEVEH, JONAH FELT THAT THE
TASK IS TOO DEMANDING FOR HIM.
• THE PROMISE:
GOD MAY ASSIGN YOU A DEMANDING TASK, BUT HIS CALL
KEEPS US GOING WHEN WE DON'T WANT TO GO AND ARE
READY TO QUIT. WE HAVE THE PROMISE OF GOD'S PURPOSE.
 THE EXCUSE:

MY TALENT IS INADEQUATE
• ALTHOUGH JONAH IS A PROPET, HE DID
NOT MAKE HIS PREACH TO BE
CONVINCIBLE, HE SIMPLY CONVEY THE
MESSAGE OF GOD AND THE NINEVITES
ARE EASILY CONVINCED.
• THE PROMISE: OUR TALENT MAY APPEAR INADEQUATE,
BUT GOD ALWAYS EQUIPS THOSE HE CALLS. WE HAVE
THE PROMISE OF GOD'S PROVISION.
THE EXCUSE:

THE TIME IS NOT RIGHT

• GOD SHOWS US THE PERFECT TIMING OF

HIS ABSOLUTE COMMAND.
• THE PROMISE:
GOD'S CALL MAY COME AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME, BUT HE
NEVER SENDS FORTH HIS SERVANT ALONE. WE HAVE THE
PROMISE OF GOD'S PRESENCE.
THE EXCUSE:

THE TEACHING IS DANGEROUS

• JONAH FEARED THE NINEVITES AS THEY

ARE KNOWN THE DANGEROUS CITY
THAT COMMITS ALL KINDS OF CRIMES.
• THE PROMISE:
WHAT GOD SAYS THROUGH US MAY BE DANGEROUS, BUT GOD GIVES US THE
STRENGTH TO ENDURE. WE HAVE THE PROMISE OF GOD'S PREVAILING.
