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.
\nJon 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
