Fellowship of the Unashamed!

with one comment

I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit’s power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes since, my future is secure.

I am finished and done with the low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, chained visions, worldly talk, cheap living and warped goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean in His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power.

My face is set, my gate if fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my path is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lurched away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, pander in the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up or let up until I have prayed up and paid up for the cause of Jesus Christ.

I must go till he comes, give till I drop, preach till everyone knows, work till he stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear!
