Once upon a time God used animals
to function as prophet, evangelist, caterers and pastor. First he called the
fish.
“Fish, there is a man named Jonah,
who does not obey me. Why don’t you do something to make him repent?”
“At Your service , God!”
answered the fish
So the fish swam near a boat which
was heading to Tarsus. On that boat, a curious thing happened. A man was hurled into a raging sea. That man
was Jonah. The fish swallowed him up immediately. Jonah stayed inside the fish
for three days Then Jonah prayed to God from the belly of the fish. He repented
from his disobedience.
“Fish, vomit him to the dry land!
Jonah already said sorry to me!”
“No problem, God!” said the fish
Jonah was saved from his
disobedience. A city full of sinful people was saved by Jonah’s preaching.
Thanks to the fish and of course, to God !
Another time, God called a donkey
to do an evangelism task.

“Hey donkey, talk to your master
Balaam to stop him beating you !“
“My pleasure, God!” answered the donkey.
“It’s not fun to be a punching bag!”
Donkey’s speech saved Balaam from
his reckless path which lead to death. Thanks to the donkey and of course, to
God!
Next, it was the ravens’ turn to be
called as His caterers.

“Ravens dear, bring some food to a hungry
person who hid in Kerith Valley near a brook,”
“Your wish is our commands, O God,”
said the ravens
The ravens took turn bringing bread
and meat for Elijah. Elijah was fed twice a day, mornings and evenings by the
ravens for a period of time. Thanks to the ravens and of course, to God! Last but not least, God called a
rooster to be a pastor.

“Hey rooster. I need you to crow
loudly after a certain man lied three times about him not knowing my Son,”
“Sure, O God!” said the rooster
When the rooster crowed, Peter was
reminded that he denied Lord Jesus for three times. At first he felt condemned,
then he repented. Thanks to the rooster and of course, to God!
“I prefer to move human’s heart to
do my will on earth. Once in a while, it’s nice to use the animals. They are
more obedient for sure. Also, they don’t attract so much attention to
themselves. The people whom they served were not worshipping them back. All in
all, I will do whatever it takes to save the people. I am using animals, humans even my own Son to
do it,” said God lovingly.
