The Fellowship Of The Unashamed

[Fragrant Grace]

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain
Philippians 1:21

Reading this really challenged me.
When the Lord comes will your colours be clear?

The Fellowship Of The Unashamed

I am part of the "fellowship of the unashamed".
I have the Holy Spirit power.
The die has been cast.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.
My past is redeemed.
My present makes sense, and my future is secure.
I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions,
mundane talking, chintzy 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 presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer and labour by power.

My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven,
my road is narrow,
my way is rough, my companions few, my guide reliable,
my mission clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity,
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, back up, let up or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up,
and stayed up for the cause of Christ.
I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get his own, He will have no problem recognizing me.
My colours will be clear.

[Brighthouse]

May I just add this scripture to that sis.Acts 20:24!!! amen!

 

[spirit1st]

Act 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Act 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Act 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Act 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.



2Co_5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

There is a New rest! Nothing can take our peace or joy while we are in that rest !

Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.


He takes over our flesh and we feel no pain or suffering in any way !
stephen entered it and we see ? He never felt the pain of the stones hitting Him or tried too block thom or move!
This rest is for All of us by Faith !

I only entered it once ! He only revealed it too me ! So i could tell about it too others !
