Morning Glory Bishop Desmond Whittaker

The word "there" in this lesson is used as an idiom to express the nature of some of life experiences that affect our lives significantly.
However, we understand that most of these experiences are designed by God, either to protect the calling of an individual or to be used as a point of transition for the fulfillment of a greater purpose.
either way, it is a place of separation and isolation

The Billboards of current events are advertising a horrifying future of this world. However the Bible teaches that there is an alternate reality to the prognosis of doom and gloom in the world. This can be found in the parellel spiritual universe coexisting with the natural world called "the kingdom of God."
However, men must be spiritually transformed to access it.
Hence, the need for spiritual world changers for this task.

Generally, God is recognized as the Father of all creation, as such, all human beings have access to the common graces of God. However because men are seen as individuals before God, the divine destiny of each life is determined by an individualistic response to divine biddings of God. Those who trust Hime wholeheartedly experience uncommon grace and live in hope of a utopic eternity.

The Bible recognizes two categories of people in the world, the godly and the ungodly. The respective destiny of these groups are determined by their choices which are ultimately influenced by their worldviews. according to the Bible, man is a spirit being and therefore he should contemplate his eternal destiny from God's perspectives.

The lesson is about God's man Jonah, choosing rebellion over obedience.we have seen his futile effort to hide from the presence of God in bottom of a ship, but even there the Spirit of God found him.
We will learn that the purpose of God will not wait, therefore it transcends human's willingness and readiness.

The lesson is about a servant of God contemplating his response to the mandate of God upon his life: 'obedience or rebellion?'
It is about our obedient response to Jehovah when He gives us an assignment; regardless of how difficult it appears to be.
