2 Peter 3:9
Strategic Focus for Monday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
YOM KIPPUR – Part 2
When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”
Acts 11:18
As we move through this day of Yom Kippur / The Day of Atonement or Repentance, which ends at sundown tonight, we have cleansed our hearts and hands, are commissioned to go forth…and PREPARE THE WAY for the Coming of the King of Glory into the United States! Yom Kippur is actually a day of celebration and joy, after all, the Torah teaches:
“For on that day the priest shall make atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the Lord.”
Leviticus 16:30
We have made this journey of repentance together over the past several days. Having come through to the end, and being ready to enter into the joy of SUKKOT in just a few days, let us take this moment to thank God for the wondrous ways in which He teaches His beloved, the Church, His Bride, to engage in the Warfare of Love! There truly is JOY IN THE JOURNEY, and the JOY OF THE LORD remains forever our strength!
We pray:
- May we always bring joy to the heart of the Lord, and may His Presence cause us to abound in joy, be filled with hope for the future of this nation, and see the fulfillment of our destiny in Him, each and every day! Pray!
Parallels between the journey of Jonah and the return and repentance of the remnant at this hour!
1.Jonah was called to be a prophet to Israel. He did not realize that one of his major assignments was to the kingdom of Nineveh, a gentile nation outside Israel. How many times do we get comfortable within the four walls of our church? Are our “comfort zones” different from His assignments? We can lose track of what God wants if we get caught in our own ideas of ministry., or make our own decisions, under the presumption of it being “God’s will”. It is time to repent and come out of our boxes of doing church and ministry our way…and see what He wants in this season ahead. If the government can implement new policies in the name of a virus and create a “new normal, ”isn’t it time for the Church to arise to God’s new normal – walking in “lock-step” with the Spirit. Get out of the box! Pray.
2.Jonah may have lost the first love with the Lord when he made plans to go to Tarshish. For some of us in the Church, our first love could be the church activities or a preaching career. Until our first love for the Lord is restored, we lose our focus on His perfect will. When we don’t seek him wholeheartedly, we misunderstand our calling and assignments. Jonah planned a crusade in Tarshish, where wealthy Israelites lived, instead of obeying the Lord and going to Nineveh. The Lord longs for us… and He wants us to be restored to our first love. When Peter decided to give up His calling and go back to fishing, Jesus asked him only one thing: “Do you love Me?” three times. John 21:15-17 Be willing to return to the first love. Pray.
3.Jonah’s decision to take a dive into the middle of the sea was a daring step. Jonah realized that his decision to be on the wrong boat became more complex than his personal preference. It put a whole bunch of innocent passengers’ lives at stake. Jonah was willing to trust God and let go of his life…not knowing what will happen to him. He might even have wanted to die early, without finishing God’s call and assignment upon his life as he requested in the last chapter. BUT God caused Jonah’s life to resemble that of His own Son. Jesus willingly laid His life for the sheep. Sometimes God allows desperate times so that we tend to take desperate measures. Jonah was willing to sacrifice his own life, and repented, instead of justifying his decisions. His prayer in the belly of the fish reflects that! Be willing to sacrifice everything and your own life for the sake of the call. Pray
4. The word Jonah means dove. Jonah chose to flee from God’s Presence by trying to escape in a boat going in the opposite direction….to Tarshish. Jonah 1:3 There was another dove (Jonah) in Noah’s ark that longed to be back in the ark until it was time to be fully released. Genesis 8 Obedience and “doing” ministry is not always about being busy for the Lord. It is about operating in the Presence of the Lord. Returning to God’s presence is more important than serving God. Without His presence in our life, there is no ministry. The dove in Noah’s ark brought back an olive leaf. A man or woman of God is called to operate in the peace that comes from God’s presence. It is better to be sent by God with His Presence than running away from God’s Presence and trying to please Him. Return from running away from God’s Presence. Pray
5. Jonah was fast asleep in the bottom deck of the ship. Like Jonah, the church can at times be in deep sleep. In one of His parables, Jesus also reminds us that while ‘they were sleeping the enemy sow tares.’ The enemy has been quietly sowing tares while the Church was asleep in America in the past. It was happening a lot lately. The enemy systematically targeted our schools and colleges to hijack our next generation. Also, the infiltration has been happening in high levels of governments through policies that were anti-biblical. The call to return in this hour for the church is to return from the state of slumber. Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. When we return from our sleep like Jonah the Lord can enable us to be a sharp threshing instrument to take back what the enemy stole from our families and counties. Return from the sleeping state. Pray
6. Jonah prayed one of the most beautiful prayers of repentance and penitence in the Bible from the belly of the fish in Jonah 2. It was a not desirable place of worship. Not only it lacked stage lights and worship band, it was a stinking slimy place. And the room hardly had any lighting and was pitch dark. Jonah was still able to worship the Lord and return to the Lord’s presence. It doesn’t matter where we worship, we can still connect with the Lord. Jonah had no clue what his future looked like and yet chose to worship. Probably he was unaware that as He prayed the Lord was simultaneously taking him to His destiny in a live submarine. Cry from the depth of your heart in whatever circumstance you are and it quickly reaches His throne. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. Jonah 2:9. From the belly of the fish Jonah offered thanksgiving from his heart. Return to sacrifice of worship from your heart. The genuine expression of worship is to surrender ourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifice, living in holiness and experiencing all that delights God’s heart Romans 12:2. Return to true sacrifice and worship unto the Lord. Pray
7. So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh to do what the LORD had ordered when the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time Jonah 3:1-3. God had not done with Jonah yet. God arranged and gave him a second chance to obey. He preached to the people of Nineveh. It is time for the Church to take the responsibility of the great commission seriously in this season. The broken world is waiting to be called into the harvest. All creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children. To this day we are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth Romans 8:21-22. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them Jonah 3:3-5. Arise and preach the gospel. Pray
8.Jonah went into a post-ministry depression right after the preaching. There were still some deep issues and some residue in his heart that he had not dealt with. God continues to deal with His servants because we are His children before His servants. He wants us to be healed and mended. My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Hebrews 12:5-7. A godly person will be pleased when God is pleased. In other words, the hearts and interests of the Lord and an intercessor need to be in synchrony. In Jonah’s case, his displeasure was against God’s liking of Nineveh repenting. An intercessor has no self-interests rather absolute surrender to the will of the Lord. Jonah could take some discipline from the Lord to get Him there. Jonah struggled in the area of having the heart of an intercessor and feel God’s heart. He was obviously a good preacher. Nineveh took the message seriously and repented. Jonah’s heart was a work-in-progress and so are our hearts if we remain open to His Spirit. Repent from self-interest over God’s interest. Pray
9. But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry Jonah 4:1. Jonah had emotional issues that he had not fully dealt with yet. The Bible says When you are angry make sure you do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil Ephesians 4:26 God was giving him time to repent but Jonah became angry again. And he said I do well to be angry, even unto death. Jonah 4:9. The Lord had to draw examples from nature to train him in the area of taking victory over the area of anger. Let us return to the Lord in areas of soul and emotions that need to be mended. Repentance from emotional and anger issues. Pray
10. …For I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents thee of the evil. Jonah 4:2. Seems like Jonah was not keen on God having mercy on Nineveh. Obviously, Jonah was glad showed him mercy. And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceedingly glad for the gourd. Jonah 4:6. We ought to show compassion to others as we ourselves have experienced God’s compassion. Jesus compared uncompassionate servants to one who had received forgiveness from a bigger debt that later went and put the one who owed him a little in prison until every penny was fully paid. The repentance of Ninevites was astounding. God relented His hand of judgment on them. However Jonah was not able to come in terms with God’s great compassion on Ninevites. And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? Jonah 4:11 Repentance from being displeased with the Lord’s compassion. Pray
The book of Jonah ends with a startling question that many intercessors and remnants struggle with today…God’s compassion on the unregenerate. It also portrays the beautiful picture of God’s mercy for His creation and demonstrates the single most powerful response a fallen human can make with the holy God who holds all things in His hands…Repentance.
We pray:
- Lord, how can we help but love and worship You…for Who You are and for all You do in order to cause us to repent and come back to You! Lamb of God, we come! Pray.
- Thank You for the sacrifice on the cross…for the Broken Body and the Precious Blood of Jesus, that were offered for our salvation…and opened heaven’s doors that we might enter in! Pray.
- Let the fruit of this time of repentance be lived out in our lives daily…as we walk in the spirit, deny the flesh and live lives that glorify You and model our relationship with You that will in turn, draw others to You! Pray.
“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
Mark 12:30

NOTE: We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call. As necessary, bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss and lift up the Name of Jesus in song, then pray a shield of protection, deliverance and healing over our CC line and our 24/7 family, and immediately return to the focus.
