My Banner is Clear
I'm a part of the
fellowship of the unashamed. I have the power of the Holy
Spirit. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over
the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of
Jesus. 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, 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 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, preached up for the cause of Christ. l have a
great hope of His coming back. So I preach till all know,
and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His
own, He will have no problems recognizing me;
for my banner is clear !!!
