MY COMMITMENT TO CHRIST’S COMMISSION

“I am part of the followership 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 His. I won’t look back, let up, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secured. I am finished and done with low living, sight-walking, small planning, smooth knees, colourless dreams, tamed vision, mundane talking, cheep living and dwarf goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotion, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have time to be first, top, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, live by prayer and labour 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, and preached up, for the course of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me-My banner will be clear! Amen”
