Luke 9:57-62 ... And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a
certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou
goest. 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the
air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first
to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury
their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another
also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them
farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto him, No
man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the
kingdom of God.
Exhortation: (Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet)
We can't put off the Word of God when it comes to us!
Jonah tried doing that ...
Jonah 1 ... Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
No matter how we try to delay doing the word or speaking the word, God has a way to move things around to cause us to do it in the end.
And when we start the work, we continue in the work, fighting all things that would stop us from doing the work assigned by God. It is a battle to do the work.
Jesus said: Jn. 8 ... If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Continue means to go on to a specified course of action / to do and to keep on doing
To start ... then stop ... then try to start again ... will not work. When you put your hand to the plough, you need to plough the whole field... without looking back.
