Jon 3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.
Jon 3:10 God saw what they did and how they turned away from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.
When the Ninevites received the message of their impending destruction because of their sins, they believed In God. They declared a fast and all of them from the greatest to the least put on sackcloth.
Their king gave the following instructions: Jon 3:7b.. “Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. Jon 3:8 “But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
Nineveh was saved from destruction and experienced a revival after prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting changes our destiny and usher’s in God’s power into difficult situations.
