Poem on Jonah chapter 4 (Mercy Samuel)

Poem on Jonah Chapter 4

 By Mercy Samuel

Jonah was angry with the Lord that day

For He had shown mercy in every way

Prophet Jonah fled from God at first

For he knew God loves even the worst

He sat down hoping to see Nineveh fade

God provided a plant to give him shade

He was really happy to watch it grow

But God sent a worm to wither it so!

 

As the sun blazed upon Jonah’s head

He wished that he would just be dead

Then came the answer from the Lord,

“Jonah you showed pity for the gourd

A plant that you never really grew

It gave enough shade just for you!

In the same way, my love is for all

I never desired to see Nineveh fall”.

 

Jonah waited for Nineveh’s destruction

But witnessed God’s love and pardon

He was unable to reason God’s ways

And as a prophet he felt betrayed

Well, the sign of Jonah points today

That Jesus Christ is the only way

He died and rose to save the lost

So spread the good news to all.

Poem on the book of Jonah (Sharon T)

Jonah By Sharon Thambudorai Jonah was ordered to go unto Nineveh, Call out against the evil before Jehovah. He went down to Joppa and to Tarshish he sailed. A great wind was sent by the Lord who he failed. Soon, the lots were cast, on Jonah it fell. “Take me up and cast me forth,” said the one who did rebel. Against their will when the storm would not go, They picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea below!  A great big fish swallowed Jonah, whole. Three days and three nights he spent, feeling out of control. Jonah prayed and prayed, knowing the Lord was good, And the fish vomited Jonah and on dry land he stood. So, this second time when Jonah received the word of the Lord, He obeyed, went to Nineveh, fulfilling the wishes of God. “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown,” he proclaimed. The Ninevites fasted and wore sackcloth for now believers they became. The king did the same, telling everyone to abide, For maybe God would relent if they swallowed their pride? This, G...

Personal Experience - 1 (Anne)

Personal Experience -1  The Lord of Lords and King of Kings we serve is forever faithful! By Anne This is not related to the Book of Jonah, nevertheless,  I would like to share my experience. In February this year, I attended the Keswick Breakfast at Assembly of God Church. Thereon, I attended the Morning sessions at the Circular Road Baptist Chapel Church. From the 10th to 15th of February, 2020, Pastor Ashok taught us two books, The Book of Obadiah and The Book of Jude. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. The days had been hectic ... sending the kids and husband to school and office respectively and then rushing to Baptist Church....but so fulfilling.  As I left the church after the last session, I said a small prayer- Daddy ( I love to address the Lord of Lords and King of Kings as Daddy....it fills me with soooooo much peace)...so I prayed...Daddy, it would be nice if you could arrange such a Bible Teaching class for me, how about Saturday mornings....weekdays are...
