The preaching that I bid thee...

Jonah 3:2 KJV
Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

Jonah's commission was to a particular people with a particular message.

As a prophet of God he had no liberty to pick and choose the message he would preach. God had a message for Nineveh. His job was to preach that message. He was not to choose which part of the message he would highlight. He was not to pick which part of Nineveh he would focus on. His task was to take the message of God and preach it from one end of town to the other.

As the pastor of Bible Baptist Church of Puyallup, I have been given a message from God - the Bible. My commission is to preach the whole thing to the whole world.
