*MY COMMITMENT AS A CHRISTIAN*
I'm a part of the fellowship of
the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The dye has been cast. I have stepped
over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look
back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my
present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low
living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed
visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed 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 on His presence, walk by patience, lift by
prayer, and labor by power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven,
my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my
mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned
back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate
in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder
at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give
up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up,
preached up for the cause of Christ. l am a disciple of Jesus. l must go till
He comes, give till l drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me.
And when He comes for His own, He will have no problems recognizing me --my
banner will be clear!!!

martyr for the Gospel.
