Young Pastor in Zimbabwe, Africa, later martyred for his faith in Christ

I’m 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’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, smooth
knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly
talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, 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.
