transmission # 1

Welcome to Exelerate's Blogworld and "transmission # 1". Keep checking this place out because it will get updated a lot!

There was a preacher martyred in Africa a few decades ago...a fiery, passionate man they say. The gospel message he preached was so uncompromised that many in the town hated him. Hate eventually turned red as on one ordinary day the preacher was found dead, stabbed repeatedly in his own living room. In the corner of his room was an old wooden desk, and on it was a piece of paper with his final message written by his own hand:

 

My Creed

I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. 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, applause, 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 is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deturred, 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 am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until 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 colors will be clear for I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.

Mr J - "My Creed" also known as the "Martyr's prayer" wasn't in fact written by a martyr. It was written by Dr Bob Moorehead, an American pastor. He was the founder and first pastor of Overlake Church in the Seattle area. No longer in the ministry. Mormon's and JW's have tried to claim this Creed as their own - but it was in fact written by a christian. I love this Creed though. Had it posted in my room for a long time. Very bold and inspiring.
