This is what I, too, believe; not something I merely like but what - TopicsExpress



          

This is what I, too, believe; not something I merely like but what I believe and strive for with all my heart, soul and mind. It does not mean I have arrived at some place of perfection; it only means I have chosen to let go of everything in my life that keeps me from following Him, as He said I should do ... and every day, I care less and less what anyone else thinks, but care more and more what HE thinks! ***My Banner Is Clear The inspiring commitment of a young African pastor from Zimbabwe: I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power, my die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. Im a disciple of Jesus. I wont look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. Im finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I dont have to be right, first, tops, recognized, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor by power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, and my mission is 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 wont give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me-my banner will be clear.
