Masterpiece on Faith.
This article I copied off a cassette Tape from Bro.Howard Caroll's Church in Manchester, Tn.
May it be a blessing, Nathan Miller.
Greetings in Jesus Name;
Last night I listened to a tape,and I
heard something interesting about a Pastor
in Africa that had been killed for His Faith in Jesus Christ,and I have
sent this to you as a blessing. This
note was found in his office after he was killed,and here it is.....
My Banner Is Clear !
I am part of a fellowship unashamed..I have the Holy Spirit Power,the dye
has been cast.I have stepped
over the line.The decision has been made..I am a Disciple of His.I wont
turn back,let up,slowdown,back
away,be still.My past is redeemed.My present makes semse.My future is
secure.I'm finished and done
with low-living,fight walking,mood knees,colorless dreams,pained
visions,worldy talking,cheap giving,and
dwarfed goals. I no longer need prosperity,possessions,plotted
promotions,or popularity. I don't have to be
right, first, tops, reconized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live
by Faith, lean on His Presense,walk
by patience, and uplifted by prayer, and I labor with power. My Faith is
set, my gate is past.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, lured away, turned back,
detules or delayed. I will not
flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy,
ponder at the pool of popularity, or
(Some words I can't make out), I wont give up, shut up, let up, until I
have stayed up, stored up, prayed
up, paid up, preached up, because of Christ, and thats the way I feel. 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...(Unquote).
I hope this is a blessing to all that read this.
This was read by A Brother called,"Ned Iverson, who is 81 years old,and I
love what he said.
Sincerely,Nathan Miller.
