Sunday Morning Service

This morning I was invited by Pst Aow, to speak at His Arrow Church at Jalan Pemimpin, Singapore. It was vibrant church. I spoke on the topic of "Living on God's Agenda" as seen from the life of Jonah. I call the book of Jonah as the Book of hearts as it deals with the:
  • The heart of the prophet
  • The heart of the people (Nineveh)
  • The heart of Providence (God)
 Jonah did not live on God's agenda but had his own agenda. God's agenda was as follows:
  • Ex 19:6 - And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 
  • Isa 42:6 - I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 
  • Isa 60:3 - Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Jonah's agenda was centered on himself and the nation of Israel. He did not want the people of Nineveh to repent. God's agenda required he following which Jonah lacked:
  • Settling the inner issues of the heart
  • Make sacrifices
  • Have compassion
Whose agenda are you living on?

I was blessed, so was the congregation.
