Our Manifesto
I am part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed. I
have the Holy Spirit 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, 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, smooth knees, colorless
dreams, tame visions, worldly-talking, cheap giving, 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 in His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and I
labor with 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, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,
compromised, detoured, hired away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I
will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of
the adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, pander at the pool
of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t
give up, shut up, let up, until I have preached up, prayed up, paid
up, stored up and stayed 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 to claim
His own, He’ll have no problems recognizing me. My banner will be
clear!
